Edward Rich, 6th Earl of Warwick
Edward Rich, 8th Baron Rich, 6th Earl of Warwick and 3rd Earl of Holland (1673 – 31 July 1701) was an English peer and member of the House of Lords, styled Lord Rich until 1675.[1]
Rich succeeded his father Robert as Earl of Warwick and Holland in 1675. In early 1697, he married Charlotte, daughter of Sir Thomas Myddelton, 2nd Baronet, by whom he had one son:
- Edward Rich, 7th Earl of Warwick (1698–1721)
In 1699, Warwick was tried for murder alongside his friend, Charles Mohun, 4th Baron Mohun, and found guilty of manslaughter; he escaped punishment by pleading the privilege of peerage. He died and was succeeded by his son in 1701.[1]
