John Awdeley

John Awdeley, also written as Audley (died c.1594), was an English politician. In 1593 he was elected to two parliamentary constituencies, Lancaster and Stockbridge.[1][2] Both seats were controlled by the Duchy of Lancaster, and Awdeley probably owed his return for Stockbridge to Sir Thomas Heneage, the Chancellor of the Duchy, and the return for Lancaster to Sir Gilbert Gerard, the Vice-Chancellor of the Duchy. It is unknown which of the two he eventually chose to sit for.
