  Notes	http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/PAGET.htm#William%20PAGET%20(4°%20B.%20Paget%20of%20Beaudasert) Born in the year of the Massacre of St. Bartholomew, he spent much of his life under suspicion in England because of his father's ardent Roman Catholicism. His father fled to Spain and was considered a traitor. His son turned Protestant and grew to hate all things Spanish but was still mistrusted by «u»«b»Queen Elizabeth <http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/aboutElizabeth.htm>«/u»«/b», even after serving with «u»«b»Lord Essex <http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/Bios/RobertDevereux(2EEssex).htm>«/u»«/b» in the Calais Expedition of 1596. He avoided the same fate as «u»«b»Essex <http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/Bios/RobertDevereux(2EEssex).htm>«/u»«/b». He was finally restored to his paternal lands and honors by «b»King James«/b» in 1605. In 1612 he became a member of the Virginia Company which then included Bermuda. He was one of the illustrious band of gentlemen "Adventurers" who invested in the Bermuda Company to colonize the Bermuda islands from 1615 onwards. He was the largest shareholder in the original Paget Tribe named after him in 1617, later Paget Parish. He is buried at West Drayton in Middlesex, England.
