Henry Herbert, 1st Baron Herbert of Chirbury
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henry Herbert, 1st Baron Herbert of Chirbury (24 July 1654 – 22 January 1709) inherited the manor of Ribbesford (near Bewdley) on the death of his father Sir Henry Herbert, Master of Revels to Charles I and Charles I. Like his father he served as Member of Parliament for Bewdley, from 1677 to 1679, for Worcester in Charles II's last Parliament and again for Bewdley from 1689 to 1694. In the latter year, the title Baron Herbert of Chirbury, which had become extinct on the death of a cousin in 1689, was revived for him.
