Early Life
Tyrrell was the eldest son of Sir William Tyrrell (c. 1415 – 22 February 1461) and Margaret Darcy (c. 1425), married in 1444. Like his father before him, a loyal Yorkist, James was knighted in 1471.
He married Anne Arundell on 9 March 1483. They would later have a son also named James Tyrrell. After Richard III assumed power, he was appointed High Sheriff of Cornwall in 1484.
James was in France in 1485 and played no part in the Battle of Bosworth Field which signalled the end of the Yorkists and the start of the Tudor dynasty.

“We can slide it
Rapidly backwards and forwards: we call this
Easing the spring. And rapidly backwards and forwards
The early bees are assaulting and fumbling the flowers:
They call it easing the Spring.”
—Henry Reed (1914–1986)
“Political life at Washington is like political life in a suburban vestry.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
