Henry Capell was born at his grandfather Sir William Capell’s house in London, the 2nd Marquess of Dorset standing one of his godfathers. His grandfather, dying in 1515, left him 1,000 marks and plate worth over £400 to buy him ‘some good ward for his marriage’, and instructed his executors to see that both Henry and his younger brother Edward studied law. In 1526 Capell came of age and entered into the Somerset lands of his mother; thereafter he seems to have lived mainly at Ubley. He consolidated his Somerset possessions and augmented them in 1546 by his purchase of the manor of Wrington for nearly £2,000. Capell’s father, a prominent soldier and courtier, married as his second wife a member of the Ros family, and this connexion provided the opportunity for Capell’s marriage to a sister of the 1st Earl of Rutland. He had another powerful kinsman in his uncle by marriage Sir William Paulet, later Marquess of Winchester.
