William Paulet, 4th Marquess of Winchester (bef. 1560[1] 4 February 1629) was an English nobleman, the son of William Paulet, 3rd Marquess of Winchester and Anne or Agnes Howard.[2] He was styled Lord St. John from 1576 to 1598. He was summoned to Parliament on 16 January 1581 in his father's barony as Lord St. John.[1] On 24 November 1598, he succeeded his father as 4th Marquess of Winchester. Paulet experienced great financial difficulties arising from his magnificent style of living and his lavish entertainment of Elizabeth I at Basing House.[1][3]

He married on 28 February 1587 at St Martin-in-the-Fields, Lady Lucy Cecil, daughter of Sir Thomas Cecil, 1st Earl of Exeter and his first wife, Dorothy Neville.[1] Lucy and William had six children:[4]

His wife, Lucy, died 1 October 1614 and was buried a month later in the Cecil vault in Westminster Abbey.[1]

Death

William Paulet died at Hackwood, near Basingstoke, on 4 February 1629, and was buried at Basing, Hampshire.[1]
