Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

((Short description|English politician and diarist, 1634–1689))
((Use dmy dates|date=September 2021))
((Use British English|date=March 2012))
'''Sir John Reresby, 2nd Baronet''' (14 April 1634 – 12 May 1689) was an English politician and diarist. After returning in 1667 from exile during the [[English Civil War]], he became a Member of Parliament in 1673.

==Early life==
Reresby was born at [[Thrybergh]], [[Yorkshire]] in 1634, the eldest son of Sir John Reresby, the 1st Baronet. His mother, Frances, was daughter of Edmund Yarburgh of Snaith Hall, Yorkshire. 

Reresby, in his ''Memoir and Travels'',<ref name="Memoir">M. A. Albert Ivatt, ed., ''The Memoir and Travels of Sir John Reresby, Bart.'' (London: Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner, 1904).</ref> says that in 1652 he was admitted of Trinity College in [[University of Cambridge|Cambridge]], but as the college refused to allow him the rank and privilege of a nobleman, he did not go into residence and no entry of his admission exists.<ref>((acad |id=RRSY634J |name=Reresby, John))</ref> In 1646, he had succeeded to the [[baronet]]age on the death of his father.

==Travels abroad==
((Unsourced|section|date=January 2023))
After the English Civil War, Reresby in 1654 went abroad, where he became a friend of Henrietta Maria, the widow of [[Charles I of England|Charles I]], whom he visited in France. The account he wrote of these travels appeared in his ''Memoirs'', published 40 years after his death. They are invaluable to historians as sidelights on the dramatic times through which he lived. After his return to England, Reresby married Frances, elder daughter of William Browne of York, barrister-at-law, on 9 March 1665. They had five sons and four daughters.

==Election to Parliament==
((Moresources|section|date=January 2023))
Soon after the [[English Restoration|Restoration]], Reresby returned to England with a letter of recommendation from the Queen Mother, and was presented to the king at [[Whitehall]]. He served as [[Sheriff]] of Yorkshire in 1667. At a by-election in November 1673 he was returned to [[English Parliament|parliament]] for [[Aldborough (UK Parliament constituency)|Aldborough]] in Yorkshire, together with Robert Benson. He took his seat in the House of Commons on 14 April 1675, his 41st birthday. Legal differences with the family of the [[Thomas Howard, 5th Duke of Norfolk|Duke of Norfolk]] may have lain behind a false accusation made against Reresby: that he had caused his black servant to be gelded "and that the operation had killed him" on 20 October 1676. According to Reresby he had not been gelded and the cause of death was an "imposthume" (abscess) in the head (p.&nbsp;149).<ref name="Memoir"/> 

In 1678, he spoke in favour of giving aid to the king, and the following month obtained a commission for raising an independent company of foot, and was appointed governor of [[Bridlington]]. That December Reresby opposed [[Thomas Osborne, 1st Duke of Leeds|Danby]]'s impeachment.

At the general election in February 1679 he was again returned for Aldborough, but unseated on petition in the following May. In 1680, he drew up the Yorkshire petition of abhorrence, but took care to write it carefully so that no great exceptions could be taken. At the general election in February 1681, he was once more elected for Aldborough. In November following he was made a [[justice of the peace]] for Middlesex and Westminster, and in that capacity superintended the prosecution of [[Thomas Thynne (died 1682)|Thomas Thynne]]'s murderers in February 1682.

==King's man in York==
On [[George Savile, 1st Marquess of Halifax|Halifax]]'s recommendation, Reresby was appointed governor of [[York]] in April 1682. He assisted in the plot to obtain the [[quo warranto|forfeiture]] of the city's charter. At the general election after the death of [[Charles II of England|Charles II]], Reresby was elected for the city. Reresby took a prominent part in the House of Commons in supporting the court.

In November 1685 Reresby voted to obtain the concurrence of the House of Lords in the address passed by the Commons for the dismissal of the Roman Catholic officers and refused to sign an address of thanks to the King for "his late indulgence for liberty of conscience". Though he promised the King to stand for York at the next general election, Reresby had for some time past been growing lukewarm in the royal cause. On 22 November 1688, [[York Castle]] was seized by Danby and his adherents, who declared for the [[William III of England|Prince of Orange]] in what would become known as the [[Glorious Revolution]]. Reresby was taken prisoner, but he later obtained parole and was allowed to retire to [[Thrybergh]]. Early the following year he went up to London and was presented to William by his friend Halifax. He died suddenly in 1689, aged 55, and was buried in St Leonard's Church, Thrybergh, where a monument was placed to his memory.

==Descendants==
Reresby's eldest son, William, born in 1668, succeeded his father in the baronetcy. After a life of gambling away his fortune, he sold the family estate to John Savile of Methley in 1705 and died in [[Fleet prison]]. Tamworth, the second son, was born in 1670. John, the third son, died in 1683, George in 1689. Leonard, the youngest son, born in 1679, succeeded his brother William as the fourth baronet, and died unmarried in 1748, when the baronetcy became extinct.
