I'm having difficulty finding out about this title, Baron Seymour of Trowbridge, which doesn't seem to exist. Anyone got any ideas? Deb 11:47, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've fixed it up (dates from Rayment and a little data from the 1911 Encyclopedia). According to the 1911 article on "Seymour", "[Francis Seymour] had at first taken an active part in the opposition in the House of Commons to the government of Charles I., having been elected member for Wiltshire in 1620. He represented the same constituency in both the Short and the Long Parliaments; and he refused to pay ship money in 1639. When, however, the popular party proceeded to more extreme measures, Francis Seymour refused his support, and was rewarded by being raised to the peerage; he voted in the House of Lords against the attainder of Strafford, and in 1642 he joined Charles at York and fought on the royalist side throughout the Great Rebellion."
