Michael Hudson (1605–1648) was an English clergyman who supported the Royalist cause during the English Civil War.
In 1628 Hudson graduated from Queen's College, Oxford with an M.A., and became fellow c. 1630. King Charles I gave him various livings; and he was one of the king's chaplains at Oxford. He was scoutmaster to the northern army (1643–1644) and, along with John Ashburnham, accompanied Charles I to Newark in 1646. At the end of the First English Civil War he was imprisoned. He escaped from prison, but was again captured, 1647, and sent to the Tower of London. In 1648 he escaped again, and promoted a Royalist rising in the eastern counties where he was killed while defending Woodcroft Castle.[1]
