descended from a baronial family, he was trained in the law and rose rapidly in the favour of Henry VII <http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/aboutHenryVII.htm>. He was a royal councillor from early in the reign and in 1506 was appointed President of the Council <http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/Documents/lord_president_of_the_council.htm>, an unusual post giving him, it seems, a dignity at council meetings equal to that usually held by the Lord Chancellor. That he was high in the esteem of Henry VII <http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/aboutHenryVII.htm is shown by bis appointment in 1504 as Speaker of the House of Commons <http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/Documents/parliaments_and_speakers.htm>, a post at that time within the gift of the Crown.

Edmund married Elizabeth Grey 6th Baroness Lisle [18429] [MRIN: 8800], daughter of Edward Grey 1st Viscount de Lisle [17325] and Elizabeth Talbot 3rd Baroness Lisle [17324], after 1500. (Elizabeth Grey 6th Baroness Lisle [18429] was born between 1465 and 1471 and died in 1525.)
