The last English Deputy of Calais, Wentworth was caught unprepared for attack by the French in 1557 and was forced to surrender early in 1558. The loss of Calais was said to have contributed to the illness and subsequent death of Mary I. Under Elizabeth I Wentworth was tried for treason, but aquitted. He was later made Lord Lieutenant of Suffolk and Norfolk, but never gained high office during Elizabeth's reign.
