Sir Thomas Lyttelton, 1st Baronet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sir Thomas Lyttelton, 1st Baronet (1593 – February 22, 1650) was the eldest son of John Lyttelton and inherited the family estates in Frankley, Halesowen, Hagley, and Upper Arley from his mother, Meriel daughter of Sir Thomas Bromley, Lord Chancellor of England, to whom the estates had been restored by James I, after their forfeiture due to his father's conviction of high treason.

He was knight of the shire for Worcestershire from 1621–1626, and in the Short Parliament. He adhered to the Royalist cause in the English Civil War and was in consequence imprisoned in the Tower of London.
