Robert Abraham (MP)

Robert Abraham (1410-70) was a Member of Parliament for Portsmouth. Parliamentary historian J.C. Wedgwood has suggested he was the son of an earlier MP for the same constituency, Henry Abraham[1][2]

He was elected member to attend the parliaments of 1433 and 1449-50. Abraham last appears on official records when, in 1467, he acted as pledge for another MP for the same constituency, Henry Uvedale.
