William Morice (died 1554)

William Morice (died 1554) was an English politician and landowner. He served as a Member of Parliament for Devon in 1553.

Little is definitively known about his early life. He was likely from a Devon family, and records suggest he held land within the county. His election to Parliament for Devon, a county seat, indicates he was a man of some standing and influence within the region.

The parliament he was elected to, which sat in 1553, was convened during the reign of Queen Mary I. The principal act of this Parliament was the reversal of the divorce of Queen Catherine of Aragon, legitimizing Mary's claim to the throne.

William Morice died in 1554. Further details regarding his family, estate, and other activities remain relatively obscure in historical records. Further research might reveal more information about his life and involvement in local affairs of Devon during the mid-16th century.
