(General Info only, not included with print) - Sir Anthony Denny (16 January 1501 – 10 September 1549) was a confidant of King Henry VIII of England. Denny was the most prominent member of the Privy chamber in Henry's last years, having charge of the dry stamp of Henry's signature, and attended Henry on his deathbed. He also served as Groom of the Stool. He was a scholar, a patron of literature and a member of the reformist circle that offset the conservative religious influence of Gardiner. A wealthy man by his death, he seems to have been a good and religious person.
