"Sir Allen Apsley, 28 August 1616 to 15 October 1683, was a Royalist soldier and administrator during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms, who took part in the Second Anglo-Dutch War. He was also MP for Thetford from 1661 to 1679. One biographer describes him as having an \"ability to maintain friendly contact with figures across a wide range of affiliations, which helped to make him a successful political fixer\". Born in London, his family came from West Sussex, an area solidly Parliamentarian at the outbreak of the First English Civil War in August 1642. As a result, Apsley spent most of it in Devon, serving as deputy governor of Exeter from 1643 to 1645, then governor of Barnstaple until the war ended in 1646. This brought him into close contact with senior figures like Queen Henrietta Maria of France, Charles II and Clarendon, connections which became important in later years. His younger sister Lucy was married to the Parliamentarian John Hutchinson, who used his influence to obtain Apsley favourable terms for regaining his estates. In return, he avoided involvement in Royalist conspiracies during the Protectorate and after the Stuart Restoration in May 1660 Apsley intervened to save Hutchinson from execution as a regicide. He became treasurer for James, Duke of York and his political manager in the Commons until losing office in 1679. He died in October 1683 and was buried in Westminster Abbey."@en . . . . . . . . . .
