Charles Somerset, Marquess of Worcester

Charles Somerset, Marquess of Worcester (December 25, 1660 – July 13, 1698) was the eldest son to Henry Somerset, 1st Duke of Beaufort and Mary Capel, styled Lord Herbert from 1667 until 1682 and Marquess of Worcester thereafter.

On June 6, 1682, he married Rebecca Child, who was the daughter of Sir Josiah Child, 1st Baronet and aunt of Richard Tylney, 1st Earl Tylney. They had one son and one daughter:

Henry Somerset, 2nd Duke of Beaufort, his and his father's heir and successor; and
Lady Henrietta Somerset, who was born on August 27, 1690, died on August 9, 1726 and was married to Charles Fitzroy, 2nd Duke of Grafton on April 30, 1713, with whom she had four sons and three daughters.

Because Charles predeceased his father, on the duke's death the dukedom passed to Charles's son Henry.
