Empson, Sir Richard
b. , Towcester, Northamptonshire, Eng.
d. Aug. 17, 1510, London
Empson also spelled EMSON, English lawyer and minister of King Henry VII, remembered, with Edmund Dudley, for his unpopular administration of the crown revenues.
Empson studied law in the Middle Temple and from 1475 held posts in Northamptonshire and then in Lancaster. From March 1486 Henry VII began to reward him with grants of stewardships and wardships. In 1491 Empson, one of the members of Parliament for Northamptonshire, was chosen speaker of the House of Commons. From 1494 Empson was sometimes styled " king's councillor " and, after becoming chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster in 1504, was knighted; Henry VII then joined him and Edmund Dudley by act of Parliament to the feoffees responsible for carrying out his will. From that time these men were closely associated in carrying out the king's legal and financial policy, which made them so unpopular. The death of Henry VII left them without a protector, and they were arrested in April 1509, on Henry VIII's accession. Empson was sent to Northampton, where he was tried on a charge of constructive treason and convicted. He was brought back to London and executed.
