Sir Peter Wentworth (1529–1596) was a prominent Puritan leader in the Parliament of England. He was the elder brother of Paul Wentworth and entered as member for Barnstaple in 1571. He later sat for the Cornish borough of Tregony in 1578 and for the town of Northampton in the parliaments of 1586–7, 1589, and 1593. Wentworth was the chief critic of Queen Elizabeth I, and has been regarded as the sign of a new era in English Parliament politicking. Recorded speeches and parliament sessions, jotted in the diaries of MPs like those of Thomas Cromwell, began to proliferate around this time, when public interest embraced political affairs and when issues such as freedom of speech took root in parliamentary politics. For these reasons, Wentworth is often regarded as the first celebrated English

  • Peter Wentworth, född 1529, död 1596, var en engelsk politiker, som tillhörde den yngre grenen av släkten . Wentworth var 1571-93 ledamot av parlamentet och förfäktade där, ofta i hetsig ton, de puritanska synpunkterna. Särskilt ivrade han för parlamentets fri- och rättigheter mot kungamakten och hölls för frispråkighet i detta ämne 1576 och 1587 kortare tider fängslad i Towern.

Han skrev under fängelsetiden den ryktbara avhandlingen A pithie exhortation to her majesty for establishing her successor to the crown (postumt utgiven 1598). Wentworth var svåger till statssekreteraren Walsingham. Såväl Wentworths bror , född 1533, död 1593, som hans son , född omkring 1568, död 1623, utmärkte sig som parlamentsledamöter för frimodig kritik av det kungliga prerogativet. Den sistnämndes son, sir Peter Wentworth, född 1592, död 1675, var från 1641 ledamot av Långa parlamentet, och det var under en ordväxling där mellan honom och Oliver Cromwell den 20 april 1653, som denne förklarade Långa parlamentet upplöst. Sina gods testamenterade sir Peter Wentworth till en släkting, tillhörande familjen , vilken därefter i flera generationer bar namnet Wentworth. (sv)
