"Sir Henry Bromley was the eldest son of Sir Thomas Bromley and Elizabeth Fortescue (daughter of Sir Adrian Fortescue). Sir Thomas was Lord Chancellor (appointed in 1579) and had presided over the trial of Mary, Queen of Scots in 1586. On his death in 1587, Sir Henry inherited all his father's lands except the family seat at Holt Castle which was held by Sir Thomas' widow for her life.
Sir Henry rose through the statesman ranks, eventually becoming Sheriff of Worcester. In Feb 1601 he was implicated for his involvement with the Essex Rebellion, and his lands, including Holt Castle, were forfeited, but upon the accession of James I, these were returned to him, and he proceeded to show James his full loyalty.
