General Notes (Husband)

He must have married in Spain??? The statement of his having a son comes from "Elizabethean Errants". Anthony also refers to a son in a letter to his sister.

He entered Hert Hall, Oxford in 1579 and received a B.A. Feb 8, 1581. In November of same year he was elected probationer of All Soul's College. From the university he removed to the Inns of Court.

In 1596 Sir Anthony Sherley undertook, under Lord Essex's patronage, an expedition against the Isle of St. Thomas and the settlements of the Spaniards in the West Indies. On the eve of his departure he was presented by Essex and the Lord Admiral to the Queen, "and used with great favor both in privy and drawing chambers." (Details of his life can be found in "Elizabethan Errants").

In the winter of 1598-9 Sir Anthony was asked to go to Persia and prevail upon the King of Persia to unite with the Christian princes against the Turks. From Persia Sir Anthony proceeded to Russia, in the quality of an ambassador from the Persian King to all the princes of Europe. He received an indifferent treatment from the Czar of Muscovy and traveled into Germany and was received with honor at Prague by the Emperor Rudolph. From Prague he came to Nuemburg, Munick, Trent and arrived in Rome in 1601. He afterwards retired to Venice where he remained until the spring of 1605. He returned to Prague and was soon after employed by the Emperor of Germany as ambassador to the King of Morocco. In the autumn of 1606 Sir Anthony Sherley is at Lisbon and in the spring of 1607 he is at Madrid. Here the King of Spain made him "General of the Mediterranean Seas." In July 1607 he was at Naples and from here he returned to Prague to give an account of his embassy to the Emperor, by whom he was created a Count of the Empire. In 1608 he was again in Italy and returned to Spain.

In 1611 Count Anthony Sherley retired to Granada, Spain. (He lived in Spain 20 years).

In 1622 Count Anthony Sherley wrote a book in which he incorporated various projects which he advanced over the years. His purpose was to get the attention of the Conde Duique de Oivares, who was then at the beginning of his power. His projects had been: the establishment of the cloth trades in the territories of Spain, an embargo on the importation of manufactured goods. He suggested to Olivares a number of ways in which his talents might be employed. There were, for example, shameful frauds in the refining and transportation of silver and gold from America, by which Sherley estimated, roughly 30 per cent of the of the gold was being embezzled and lost to the crown.

In 1623 one Juan Nicholas pointed out to Olivares the numerous occasions on which the government to the detriment of the country had disregarded the wise counsel of Sherley. Count Anthony had advised the Dutch should be excluded from the salt pans at Punta Araya in Venezuela. No notice was taken of him, with the result the Dutchmen grew rich on Spanish salt.

In 1624 Count Anthony summarized a number of his projects in a single document. He again urged that Spain should obtain control of the Strait of Gibraltar. "I assert that with closing or obstructing the passage of the Strait, Your Majesty is placing his foot on the necks of the princes of Italy and the Turk, for passage through the Strait is crucial to their commercial life". He advocated a regular mail service between Spain and the Indies and offered to establish it. He suggested that a company should be formed in Mexico to sell spices. He pointed out the wisdom of establishing a market for dyes, spices, and drugs at Final, of fortifying the island of Mogador, of basing a merchant fleet on Cartagena, of making peace with the Turk. But the King's ministers were jaded and annotated his document with such comments as "No", "Nothing" and "Nothing in this".

Two years later he put forward his most ambitious proposal, which was that he and his Spanish descendants, his son Don Diego is mentioned specifically, should be given proprietary rights to a town on the island of Fadala and another in Anafa, or Mogador in Barbary, to hold as vassals of the King of Spain with the title of Senorio or Lord. He and his descendants would have the right to fortify these towns and develop the fishery in the vicinity, to buy wheat, hides, meat, and other products in Barbary, and to sell these products to Spain. In return for these privileges Sherley agreed to maintain a fleet of fifty ships which would be at the disposal of the King four months of the year and for trading operations the other eight months. He was 61 years old at this time. There is no record this proposal was carried forward.

Doubtless he was a famous man, full of stories of the wars in Flanders, of the munificence of the Persian court, of sea fights in the Indies, of the horrible machinations of the famous English heretics, Queen Elizabeth, Essex, Cecil, Sir Walter Raleigh, all of whom he had known. He died in 1633. He is buried in the parochial church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul in Granada.

Count Anthony Sherley's death was written about in the Anales de Granada of Francisco de Jorquera. He notes the death of Count Anthony and says Anthony left a son of outstanding quality whom His Majesty will employ in his service for he is capable in many matters. In another paper, Count Anthony refers to his Spanish descendants, his son Don Diego is mentioned specifically.
