Hugh Calverley (hunter)

Sir Hugh Calverley (fl. 14th century) was a silk weaver of the City of London, revered as one of the Nine Worthies of London by Richard Johnson in his 1592 biography of eminent citizens.^[1][2]

According to Johnson's account, Calverley lived during the reign of Edward III (r. 1327–1377) and was a renowned hunter and famed for killing a huge wild boar (or bear) while in the service of the King of Poland.^[3][4]
