From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ambrose Aungier, 2nd Earl of Longford (c.1649 – 23 January 1704/05) was an Anglo-Irish politician and peer.
Aungier was the third son of Ambrose Aungier (1596-1654) and Grizzell Bulkeley (died 1663), daughter of Lancelot Bulkeley. Between 1697 and 1699 he was the Member of Parliament for Longford Borough in the Irish House of Commons.[1] The Earldom was entailed: the second brother, Gerald Aungier of Bombay (1640-1677), having died long before, on 23 December 1700 Ambrose succeeded his brother, Francis Aungier as Earl of Longford and assumed his seat in the Irish House of Lords.[2] In 1702 he was made a member of the Privy Council of Ireland. Upon his death without issue in 1705, his title became extinct.
