Blagrave, Daniel 1603-1668, the regicide, was a nephew of John Blagrave of Reading, the mathematician [q.v.]. He was born in 1603, and was bred for the bar. He was elected 8 May 1648 M.P. for the borough of Reading, and three years before was recorder of the same town, being dismissed the office in 1656, but reinstated in 1658. During the trial of Charles I he attended the high court of justice, and was one of those who signed the king's death-warrant. He was appointed by the parliament to the office of exigenter of the court of common pleas, said to have been worth 500l. per annum, and also became a master in chancery. He was also parliamentary treasurer for the county of Berkshire, and in 1654 was named one of the commissioners for the ejection of scandalous and inefficient ministers, in which capacity he is accused by his enemies of using undue severity and of proving a vexatious persecutor of the clergy. By the means which he had acquired from his different offices he was able to purchase the fee-farm rent of the manor of Sunning, Berkshire, and other estates, as it is said, on easy terms. He sat in the parliaments of 1656 and 1658; but on the Restoration he fled the kingdom and settled at Aachen, where he died in 1668.
