Biography

王宇,祥符人。
明史卷一百五十九 列传第四十七:
  王宇,字仲宏,祥符人。童丱时,日记万言,巡抚侍郎于谦奇之。登正统四年进士,授南京户部主事。秩满当转郎中,吏部以宇才,特用为抚州知府。为政简静,而锄强遏奸,凛不可犯,一府大治。
  天顺元年,所司上其治行,诏赐诰命。顷之,抉山东右布政使,命抚恤所属饥民。明年迁右副都御史,巡抚宣府。中官严顺、都督张林等令家人承纳刍粮。宇劾奏。都御史寇深为解,帝切责深。寻命兼抚大同。石亨及从子彪骄恣,大同其旧镇地,征索尤横。宇抗疏论其奸,乞置之法。疏虽不行,闻者敬惮。督饷郎中杨益不能备刍藁,为宇所劾。户部庇之,宇并劾尚书沈固等。皆输罪。遭丧,起复为大理卿。固辞,不许。
  宇刚介,所至有盛名。居大理,平反为多。七年卒。
