LifeEdward Rogers was born in about 1498, the son of George Rogers of Langport (d. 1524) and his wife Mary. Before 1528, he married Mary Lisle, daughter and co-heiress of Sir John Lisle of the Isle of Wight. They had three daughters and a son:[3]
Royal serviceRogers was made Esquire of the Body to Henry VIII before 1534.[3][4] At the Dissolution of the Monasteries, he was granted the former nunnery at Cannington in Somerset, which became the family seat. He was a Justice of the Peace for Dorset and Somerset and was elected a Member of Parliament for Tavistock in 1547, the year of Henry VIII's death.[3][4] Rogers had quarreled with the powerful Seymour family, but at the fall of the Lord Protector in 1549 he once again advanced at court. He was knighted at the coronation of Edward VI in 1549 and served Edward as one of his four principal gentlemen of the privy chamber. As a member of Edward's council he witnessed the will appointing Lady Jane Grey as Edward's heir to the throne of England.[3][5] He was knight of the shire for Somerset throughout most of Queen Mary's reign (1553, 1558, 1559 and 1563). A staunch Protestant, Rogers opposed Mary's restoration of Catholicism, and was imprisoned in the Tower of London in 1554.[5] He was released in January 1555 and pardoned in July on payment of £1,000 to keep the peace.[3] On her accession in 1558, Queen Elizabeth appointed him Vice-Chamberlain, Captain of the Guard, and Privy Councillor on the recommendation of his old friend Sir Nicholas Throckmorton.[3][4] He was appointed to succeed Sir Thomas Parry as Comptroller when Parry was named Lord Treasurer in 1560.[3][5] Rogers held the office of Comptroller until his death in 1568. Rogers' granddaughter, Mary Rogers, married Queen Elizabeth I's godson Sir John Harington on 6 September 1583.
