Biography

吴俨,宜兴人。
明史卷一百八十四 列传第七十二:
  吴俨,字克温,宜兴人。成化二十三年进士。改庶吉士,授编修,历侍讲学士,掌南京翰林院。正德初,召修《孝宗实录》,直讲筵。刘瑾窃柄,闻俨家多资,遣人啖以美官。俨峻拒之,瑾怒。会大计群吏,中旨罢俨官。瑾诛,复职历礼部左、右侍郎,拜南京礼部尚书。
  十二年,武宗北巡,俨抗疏切谏。明年复偕诸大臣上疏曰:“臣等初闻驾幸昌平,曾具疏极论,不蒙采纳。既闻出居庸,幸宣、大,宰辅不及知,群臣不及从,三军之士不及卫,京师内外人心动摇。徐、淮以南,荒馑千里,去冬雨雪为灾,民无衣食,安保其不为盗。所御之寇尚远隔阴山,而不虞之祸或猝起于肘腋,臣所大惧也。”不报。
  十四年卒官。赠太子少保,谥文肃。
