Julius Caesar (judge)
Sir Julius Caesar , also Julius Adelmare (* 1557 in Tottenham , Middlesex , † April 18, 1636 in London ) was an English judge and royal government official.
Life
He was the eldest son of Cesare Adelmare, who came from Treviso in Italy , was court physician to the English queens, Maria I and Elisabeth I , and was naturalized as an English subject in 1558. His mother was his wife, the English Margery Perient. His paternal grandmother, Paola Cesarini, presumably comes from the Italian noble family Cesarini , dukes of Civitanova .
Caesar attended Magdalen College in Oxford and studied law at the Sorbonne in Paris . In 1583 he became a district judge in Oxford. He was elected repeatedly to the House of Commons , 1589 as Burgess for Reigate , 1593 as Burgess for Bletchingley , 1597 and 1601 as Burgess for New Windsor , 1614 as Knight of the Shire for Middlesex and 1621 as Burgess for Maldon . In 1584 he was judge of the Admiralty Court and in 1593 treasurer of the Inner Temple . On 20 May 1603 he was by King James I to Knight Bachelor beaten and became the Chancellor of the Exchequer (Engl. Chancellor of the Exchequer ) appointed. In 1614 he was elected to the post of Master of the Rolls , which he held until his death.
He was married three times, his first marriage to Dorcas Lusher (1561-1595), widow of Richard Lusher, daughter of Sir Richard Martin († 1617). With her he had four sons and a daughter. In his second marriage in 1596 he married Alice Dent (1569-1614), widow of John Dent and daughter of Christopher Grant. With her he had three other sons. In 1615 he married Anne Hogan, widow of Henry Hogan and William Hungate and daughter of Henry Woodhouse, in his third marriage. This marriage remained childless.
His manuscripts were sold for £ 500 in 1757; today you can see them in the British Museum in London.
