William Dethick
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For William Dethick (died 1408/1410), see Derbyshire (UK Parliament constituency).
Sir William Dethick (c. 1542–1612) was a long-serving officer of arms at the College of Arms in London. He was the son of Sir Gilbert Dethick and followed his father as Garter Principal King of Arms. Though he was adjudged a qualified armorist and antiquarian, Dethick's biography is notable for numerous instances of conflict with his colleagues and others.
