  • Sir Francis Barrington, 1st Baronet of Barrington Hall, Essex (ca. 1560 – 3 July 1628) was a Puritan activist and politician, who was MP for Essex from 1601 to 1604, then 1620 to 1628. One of the wealthiest members of the Essex gentry, Barrington was a strong advocate of reforming the Church of England, with family connections to many other Puritan activists. This allowed him to exercise significant influence within Parliament, where he opposed the religious and foreign policies of James and Charles I. In 1626, he was imprisoned for refusing to help collect the Forced Loan, an attempt by Charles to levy taxes without Parliament's approval that prefigured later struggles over Ship Money in the 1630s. Barrington was released due to ill health in January 1628 but died on 3 July. His opposition made him a popular hero within the Puritan community; forty years after his death in 1670, he was described as "one of the mirrors of our time". (en)
  • Sir Francis Barrington, 1er baronnet de Barrington Hall, Essex (1560-3 juillet 1628) est un militant et homme politique puritain, qui est député d'Essex de 1601 à 1604, puis de 1620 à 1628. Il est l'un des membres les plus riches de la gentry d'Essex, et est un ardent défenseur de la réforme de l'Église d'Angleterre, avec des liens familiaux avec de nombreux autres militants puritains. Cela lui permet d'exercer une influence significative au sein du Parlement, où il s'oppose aux politiques religieuses et étrangères de Jacques et de Charles Ier. En 1626, il est emprisonné pour avoir refusé d'aider à collecter l'emprunt forcé, une tentative de Charles de lever des impôts sans l'approbation du Parlement qui préfigure les luttes ultérieures pour l'argent des navires dans les années 1630. Barrington est libéré en raison de problèmes de santé en janvier 1628 mais est décédé le 3 juillet. Son opposition fait de lui un héros populaire au sein de la communauté puritaine ; quarante ans après sa mort en 1670, il est décrit comme « l'un des miroirs de notre temps » . (fr)
