Sir William Killigrew, 1606-1695, the eldest son of Sir Robert Killigrew, was a court official under Charles I and Charles II, and MP for Richmond in Yorkshire from 1664 to 1678. He wrote plays (and a number of pamphlets in connection with his involvement in the attempts to drain the Lincolnshire fens) but was overshadowed by the literary success of his younger brother, the dramatist and wit, Thomas Killigrew.
