Edwardes baronets

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Edwardes Baronetcy, of Shrewsbury in the County of Shropshire, was a title in the Baronetage of England. It was created on 21 March 1645 for Thomas Edwardes. It was recreated on 22 April 1678 for his son and successor Francis Edwardes, with special remainders and precedence back to 1645, possibly due to the loss of the original patent.

Sir Francis, the 2nd Baronet was Member of Parliament for Shrewsbury 1685–90. In 1734 the 3rd Baronet was succeeded by his cousin Henry (grandson of Thomas Edwardes, a younger son of the first Baronet) who married Eleanor Edwardes daughter of the 3rd Baronet. In 1790 the 6th Baronet was succeeded by Reverend Thomas Edwardes, Rector of Frodesley, Shropshire, great grandson of the 1st Baronet by his 5th son. The 7th Baronet was also Rector of Frodesley. The titles became extinct on the death of the 10th Baronet in 1900 to Dormant with the direct descendants of Iddon Lord of Dudleston of which the Edwardes are descended claiming succession to the Baronetcy. The Iddon family is of relation to Tudor,most notably Jasper Tudor, Duke of Bedford and Earl of Pembroke, Uncle to King Henry VII.

Major-General Sir Herbert Benjamin Edwardes (1819–1868), son of Reverend Benjamin Edwardes, Rector of Frodesley, younger son of the 8th Baronet, was a soldier and political officer in India.
