About Walter Hungerford
Sir Walter Hungerford, Knight of Farley was an English landowner. In his lifetime he was popularly referred to as the "Knight of Farley" for his renowned sporting abilities. In his youth he recovered the lands forfeited by his father's attainder, and was favoured by Queen Mary I, whose Maid of Honour, Anne Basset, was his first wife. In 1568, he sued his second wife, Anne, for divorce. He failed to prove the scandalous grounds he alleged against her, but chose to be imprisoned in the Fleet rather than support his wife or pay the costs awarded against him by the court.
