Philip Wharton, 3rd Baron Wharton
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Philip Wharton, 3rd Baron Wharton (1555–1625) was an English peer of the Wharton barony.
He was born on 23 June 1555.[1] Wharton was named after his godfather, Philip II of Spain.[2] He succeeded his father Thomas Wharton, 1st Baron Wharton when he was 17 years old. He owned land in Grisedale.[3]
In August 1594 he travelled with his guardian Earl of Sussex[4] to Stirling Castle for ceremonies and masques at the christening of Prince Henry of Scotland.[5]
Notable in his life was his entertaining King James in 1617 which, as was common in those days, nearly bankrupted him. In 1618 his debts amounted to £16,713 on an annual income of £2,107.[6]
