Gabriel Pleydell
Gabriel Pleydell (fl. 1519 – c.1591) was an English landowner and politician who served as member for the Wootton Bassett (1553, 1563–67) and Marlborough (1555) constituencies in the English Parliament. Pleydell was born before 1519 into a large, landowning family in Wiltshire. Coming of age by 1540, his entrance into politics in 1553 was secured by his residence at Midgehall, near Wootton Bassett, giving him a valid claim to the market town's seat in Parliament. Similarly, his election to the Marlborough constituency two years later may have been made possible by his father's influential connections. Pleydell returned to the Wootton Bassett seat at the request of Sir John Thynne in 1563; he had supported Thynne in a dispute over the Knighthood of the Shire in 1559.
