Note: Sir Edward Osborne was apprenticed to William Hewett (see No.57278) who would become his father-in-law in May 1547 and was given the freedom of the Clothworkers' Company on May 8, 1554.
In his youth he travelled widely and resided aboard for a considerable period, especially in Madrid, where he was well known as a merchant and financial agent. After his wife inherited her father's immense fortune, Osborne traded extensively with Spain and the Ottoman Empire. On Feb 17 1569 he gave a deposition regarding his knowledge of the handwriting of the Spanish ambassador. At that time he was the owner of a "well-appointed ship." He was governor of the Turkey Company and he lobbied hard for the company to be granted a charter, offering to pay the expenses of the English ambassador in Constantinople. When the charter was finally granted by the Queen in 1591, the company was called "Merchants of the Levant trading to Turkey and Venice," usually known as the Levant Company. Osborne was the first governor of the charted company. He had extensive financial dealing with many of the "principal personages of his day."
He was elected treasurer of St. Thomas's Hospital, London, on Nov 5 1571, and was elected an alderman on Jul 7 1573. He was chosen as Sheriff on Aug 1 1575, and was chosen Lord Mayor on Sep 29, 1583. He was knighted by the Queen the following Feb 2nd. He represented the City in Parliament in 1586.
He was buried beside his first wife at St. Dionis Backchurch. His monument there was destroyed, as was the church itself, in the Great Fire of London in 1666.

Note: Because of her father's great wealth, Anne Osborne was a very marriagable young woman, and the story behind her betrothal to Edward Osborne is one of the great tales of English history, although whether it is wholly--or even partly--true cannot be guaranteed. Maitland, in his History of London (Vol. 1, p. 254), 1756, records it as follows:
"The Mayor at this Time was that eminent Citizen and Clothworker Sir William Hewet, the Son of Edmund Hewet, of Wales in Yorkshire. This Knight was possessed of an Estate, Value £6,000 per annum, at his Death, and was blessed with an issue of three Sons and one daughter [actually three sons and three daughters]; of which Daughter we have the following Tradition from the most noble Family of the Duke of Leeds: Sir William, her Father, living at that Time on London-Bridge, it happened that the Maid-Servant, as she was diverting the Infant-Miss on the Edge of an open Window, accidentally let her drop into the Thames, and, to all Appearence, without Hope of being saved: But a young gentleman, named Osborne, then Apprentice to Sir William the Father, and one of the Ancestors of the Duke of Leeds in a direct Line, seeing the Accident, immediately leaped into the River after her boldly, and brought the Child out safe, to the great Joy of its Parents, and Admiration of the Spectators. This brave and friendly Action so engaged the Affections of Sir William the Infant's Father, that, when she was grown to Woman's Estate, and asked in marriage by several Persons of Quality, especially by the Earl of Shrewsbury, the Knight rejected all their advantageous Proposals, and, with a deep Sense of Gratitude, betrothed his Daughter, with a very great Dowry, to her Deliverer, and with this emphatical Declaration, 'Osborne saved her, and Osborne shall enjoy her.'"

Note: Sir Hewett Osborne was knighted by the Earl of Essex at Menoth, Ireland, in 1599.
His son, Sir Edward Osborne, was created a baronet, and Sir Edward's son, Thomas Osborne, served King Charles II and King William III in numerous capacities and was one of the major figures in English political history. In 1694 he was crerated Duke of Leeds, a title that went extinct in 1963, on the death of the 12th Duke.

Note: Sir William Hewett was apprenticed to a London clothworker and was admitted to the freedom of the Clothworkers' Company of London before 1529. He carried on his business in a house called the Three Cranes in Candlewick Street, and was immensely successful. He was reputed to have an income at his death of £6000 a year, the equal of the richer among the nobility.
He became Master of the Clothworkers Company in 1543 and was elected an alderman for Vintry on Sep 16 1550. Refusing to serve, he was sent to newgate jail. He evidently repented and served as an alderman until Jul 9 1554. He was named Sheriff of London in 1553 and countersigned the letters patent of Edward VI naming Lady Jane Grey as heir to the throne. The attempt to secure a Protestant succession collapsed, but the next year, when Lady Jane and her husband Guilford Dudley were condemned to death, Hewett as Sheriff of London, was in charge of their executions.
His house was on Phillpot Lane in London, and he had a country house at Highgate as well as owning estates and manors in Yorkshire, Derbyshire, and Nottinghamshire.
On his death he was buried beside his wife in St. Martin Orgar. His monument there was destroyed by the Great Fire of London in 1666. In his will he made many charitable contributions to the hospitals and poor of London. His will further stipulated that every poor maiden married in his native town of Wales in Yorkshire in the year after his death should be given six shillings and eight pence as a dowry. That was a significant sum of money at the time.
