Encyclopedia : J : JE : JER : Jerome Horsey
Sir Jerome Horsey was an English explorer, diplomat and politician in the 16th and 17th centuries.
He spent much time in Russia over the course of sixteen years, first arriving in 1575 and leaving in 1591. He first travelled there as an agent for the Russia Company, and later acted an envoy of the English court under Queen Elizabeth I. He carried many messages to Ivan the Terrible, whom he knew well. Horsey is occasionally cited as a contemporary authority on Eastern Europe, Russia, and the reign of the infamous tsar.
After returning to England, Horsey served in the House of Commons, sitting on the Committee for Returns, Elections, and Privileges.
