Note

Anthony Rous (1605 – 1 May 1677) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1653 and 1660. He was an officer in the Parliamentary army in the English Civil War.

Rous was the son of Robert Rous and his wife Jane Pym, daughter of Alexander Pym and niece of John Pym.

In 1653, Rous was elected Member of Parliament for Cornwall in the Barebones Parliament. He was re-elected MP for Cornwall in the First Protectorate Parliament and in the Second Protectorate Parliament.

In April 1660, Rous was elected Member of Parliament for Helston for the Convention Parliament in a double return. He was seated in May 1660, but the election was declared void on 27 June and a by-election was held.

Rous married Mary Bradshaw, daughter of William Bradshaw of Lancashire and had a son Francis.
