Description: | The son of John Trelawny of Menheniot and Anne Reskymer, Sir Jonathan Trelawny (1568-1604) owned estates in Cornwall, Devon and Somerset. He became MP for Liskeard (1586, 1589, 1593) and for the County of Cornwall (1597, 1604), and was knighted in 1597. Sir Jonathon was sent to the Tower for losing his temper during a parliamentary debate where he 'dealt his opponent, Mr Ashe, a thundering box to his ear' and 'flashed his sword'.
