In 1640, Hotham became a member of parliament for Scarborough, North Yorkshire during the Long Parliament and the Short Parliament. In September 1642, warfare broke out between the Royalist forces loyal to King Charles I and Roundhead supporters of the English parliament. In January 1642, Parliament had reappointed Hotham's father as the governor of Hull. Hotham went there with a detachment of troops to occupy it. He was executed for treason in 1645. Born around 1610, Hotham was the son of Sir John Hotham and his wife, Katherine Rodes)
    • found: Dictionary of national biography website, October 9, 2017(Hotham, John (1610-1645), parliamentarian army officer, was the eldest son of Sir John Hotham (1589-1645) and his first wife, Katherine Rodes. Although he was admitted to Gray's Inn on 12 April 1628 his vocation was soldiering. In the elections to the Short and the Long Parliament in 1640 Hotham was returned for Scarborough on his father's interest. On 12 January 1642 Hotham was assigned the vital task of securing Hull and its magazine--his father, who had been appointed the town's governor the day before, being unable to leave Westminster until mid-March. Captain Hotham (as he was generally styled) ... was expelled from the Commons on 8 September 1643, and his personal estate (valued at £7000 by his wife) was confiscated. He was not brought to trial until 9 December 1644, when the court martial that had sentenced his father to death two days earlier commenced proceedings against him. On 1 January 1645, after a short speech protesting his innocence and reproaching parliament for continuing the war, he was beheaded at Tower Hill. He was buried at All Hallows Barking by the Tower, along with his father, who was executed on 2 January)
