About Richard Longe

Richard Longe was a politician.

Richard Longe (died 1650) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1640 to 1642. He supported the Royalist cause in the English Civil War.

Longe was an alderman of Bristol and served as Sheriff of Bristol in 1621 and as Mayor in 1636. In November 1640, Longe was elected Member of Parliament for Bristol in the Long Parliament.
