Rich baronets of London (1676)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Escutcheon of the Rich baronets of London[1]

The Rich baronetcy, of London, was created in the Baronetage of England on 24 January 1676 for Charles Rich, of Mulbarton, Norfolk, with special remainder to his son-in-law and distant cousin Robert Rich, son of Nathaniel Rich.[2][3]

The 2nd Baronet, a politician, duly inherited the title the following year. He was Member of Parliament for Dunwich from 1689 to 1699.[4] His younger son, the 4th Baronet, was a cavalry officer wounded at the Battle of Blenheim and Battle of Ramillies. The title became extinct on the death of the 6th Baronet in 1799.[2]
