He was M.P. for the city of Winchester from 1714 to 1751. This gentleman was found drowned in the canal of his garden, at Avington, in the seventy-second year of his age: leaving no issue the greater part of his estates reverted to the Chandos branch of the family, but he devised a property at Alresford. in Hampshire, to George Brydges Rodney, afterwards the great Admiral, Lord Rodney. Sir Giles Bruges d. 1511, and was s. by his elder son and heir, SIR JOHN BRUGES, who was under age at his father's decease, and was in ward to King HENRY VIII. He had an early ambition of military glory, and though very young, attended the king in his expedition into France, 1513, when Terouenne and Tournay were taken. He was likewise at the battle of Spurs, and for his valiant conduct in those engagements received the honour of knighthood. In the 10th of HENRY VIII., Sir John covenanted to serve the king with 100 archers under his command; and being one of the knights of the king's body, was in his train at Bulloign, at the interview at Sadingfield with the French king, attended by three servants and one horse keeper, according to the appointment then made. In 1537 he was constituted constable of Sudeley Castle, and in the same year was, amongst those of the court, summoned with the nobility and bishops to be present, October 15, at the christening of Prince Edward. In the year 1544 he passed the seas with the king, and for his gallant behaviour at the siege of Bulloign, was, on the surrender thereof, appointed deputygovernor of the town; in which post he was continued by King EDWARD VI. He had also, in the 1st year of that king, a grant of divers manors in consideration of his services. In 1549 (3rd EDWARD VI.), Bulloign being besieged by the French, he had the command of the place as deputy-governor, and successfully defended it against the French king in person, and an army flushed with the conquest of Newhaven and other places. On the death of EDWARD VI., Sir John Bruges waited upon Queen MARY, assisted her against those who had usurped the government; and upon her majesty's entrance into London to the Tower, was one of the principal persons in her train; for which services he was then appointed governor of the Tower, and had a grant, at the same time, of the castle and manor of Sudeley, in Gloucestershire. He was subsequently, Sunday, 8 April, 1554, elevated to the peerage in the dignity of BARON CHANDOS, of Sudeley, to him and the heirs male of his body, "in consideration not only of his nobility and loyalty, but of his probity, valour, and other virtues." Four days afterwards he attended Lady Jane Grey to the scaffold, and that unhappy lady presented him (as related by some), in testimony of his civilities to her, with her prayer book; but according to others it was a table book, with some Greek and Latin verses which she wrote in it, upon his lordship's begging her to write something that he might retain as a memorial of her. His last will bears date 2 March, in the 2nd and 3rd of PHILIP and MARY, and he d. 4 March following (1557), an adherent to the old religion. His lordship m. Elizabeth, dau. of Edmund, Lord Grey de Wilton, sister to the gallant soldier, William, Lord Grey de Wilton, and aunt to Arthur, Lord Grey de Wilton, the celebrated lord-deputy of Ireland. By this lady he had seven sons and three daus., of the latter, Catherine, m. Edward Sutton, Lord Dudley; Elizabeth, m. John Tracy, Esq., of Todington, co, Gloucester, and Mary, m. George Throckmorton, Esq., son of Sir George Throckmorton, of Coughton; of the sons EDMUND, inherited the title. Charles, of Wilton Castle, near Ross, in Herefordshire, became cup bearer to King PHILIP, and was deputy-lieutenant of the Tower to his father, John, Lord Chandos, when the warrant came for executing the Princess Elizabeth, which he refused to obey, until he should receive orders from the king and queen, and thereby was the means of saving her life; for the order being disowned at court, a stop was put to the execution. Mr. Brydges lived to an advanced age, and was sheriff of Herefordshire, in the 32nd of ELIZABETH. He m. Jane, dau. of Sir Edward Carne, of Ewenny, co. Glamorgan, Knt., and dying in 1619, was s. by his eldest son, GILES BRYDGES, Esq., of Wilton Castle, who was created a baronet, 17 May, 1627. Sir Giles m. Mary, dau. of Sir James Scudamore, and was s. by his eldest son, SIR JOHN BRYDGES, 2nd baronet, who m. Mary, only dau. and heir of James Pearle, Esq., of Dewsal and Anconbury, co. Hereford, and dying in 1651, was 8. by his only son, SIR JAMES BRYDGES, 3rd baronet, of whom hereafter, as 8th LORD CHANDOS. Anthony, m. Catherine, dau. of Henry Fortescue, Esq., of Faulkbourn Hall, Essex: from this marriage the Rev. EDWARD TYMEWELL BRYDGES, who eventually claimed the Barony of Chandos at the death of the last Duke of Chandos, endeavoured, unsuccessfully, to establish a descent. Lord Chandos was s. by his eldest son, EDMUND BRUGES, 2nd baron, who adopted early the profession of arms, and served under the Earl of Hertford, in the reign of King HENRY VIII., and in 1547, behaving himself with great bravery in the famous battle of Musselburgh, he was made a knight banneret by the Duke of Somerset. In the reign of Queen ELIZABETH he was elected a knight of the Garter, and installed at Windsor, 17 June, 1572. His lordship m. Dorothy, 5th dau., and eventually co-heir of Edmund, Lord Braye, and dying 11 September, 1573, was 8. by his elder son, GILES BRUGES, 3rd baron, who, in the lifetime of his father, represented the co. of Gloucester in parliament. His lordship m. Lady Frances Clinton, dau. of Edward, 1st Earl of Lincoln, admiral of England, by whom he had two daus., Elizabeth, who m. Sir John Kennedy, of Scotland, and d. s. p., and Catherine, m. to Francis, Lord Russell, of Thornhaugh, afterwards Earl of Bedford. Those ladies were his heirs. His lordship d. 21 February, 1593-4, and was 8. in the peerage by his brother, WILLIAM BRUGES, 4th baron, who m. Mary, dau. of Sir Owen Hopton, lieutenant of the Tower, and dying in 1602, was 8. by his elder son, GREY BRUGES, 5th baron, K.B. This nobleman, from the magnificence of his style of living at his mansion, in Gloucestershire, and the splendour of his retinue when he came to court, acquired the title of KING OF COTSWOULD. He had an ample fortune, which he expended in the most generous and liberal manner. His house was open three days in the week to the gentry, and the poor were fed as constantly from the remnants of his entertainments. On 8 November, 1617, Lord Chandos was appointed to receive and introduce the Muscovite ambassadors, who had brought rich and costly presents from their master to the king. His lordship m. Lady Anne Stanley, dau, and co-heir of Ferdinando, 5th Earl of Derby, and great grand-dau. of the Princess Mary Tudor, by her husband, Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, and dying 10 August, 1621, was s. by his elder son, GEORGE BRUGES, 6th baron. This nobleman, who was but a year old at the decease of his father, became at the breaking out of the civil wars, in 1641, a stout supporter of the royal cause. At the battle of Newbury his lordship had three horses killed under him, which so far from damping his ardour, roused his valour to a higher pitch, for mounting a fourth charger he renewed the attack, and was mainly instrumental in breaking the enemy's cavalry. In consideration of his splendid conduct in this action, Lord Chandos had an offer rom the king to be created Earl of Newbury, but he modestly declined, until it should please God to restore his majesty to the crown, an event which he did not survive to see: but, on the contrary, many severe mortifications and sufferings, and much mental adversity, as well as worldly oppression. When the parliamentarians triumphed, his lordship, besides having suffered imprisonment, paid at one time £3,973 10s., and what was left him he generously bestowed in relieving the distressed clergy, and those who had suffered by the wars. In the year, 1652, Lord Chandos had a difference with Colonel Henry Compton, grandson of Henry, Lord Compton, which unhappily ended in a duel at Putney Heath, on 13 May, when Colonel Compton tell. His lordship and his second, Lord Arundel, of Wardour, having been imprisoned more than a year, were at length arraigned in the upper bench, 17 May, 1654, and found guilty of manslaughter. He d. in the February of the following year of the small-pox, and was buried at Sudeley. His lordship 12. 1st, Susan, dau. of Henry, Earl of Manchester, and had two daus., Mary, m. to William Brownlow, Esq., of Humby, co. Lincoln, and Elizabeth, m. 1st, to Edward, Lord Herbert of Cherbury; and 2ndly, to William, Earl of Inchiquin; and 3rdly, to Charles, Lord Howard, of Escrick. Lord Chandos m. 2ndly, Jane, dau. of John Savage, Earl Rivers, by whom he had with two other daus. that d. unm., Lucy, m. to Adam Loftus, Viscount Lisburne, in Ireland. His lordship dying thus, without male issue, the major part of his fortune passed under settlement to Jane, his last wife, who afterwards m. George Pitt, Esq., of Strathfieldsay, ancestor of the Pitts, Lords Rivers, and conveyed to that gentleman Sudeley Castle, and other lands of great value. The peerage devolved upon his lordship's brother, WILLIAM BRUGES, 7th baron, who m. Susan, dau. and co-heir of Gerrot Keire, of London, merchant, but having no male issue (he left three daus., Mary, Frances, and Rebecca), the title devolved at his decease, in 1676, upon his kinsman (refer to Charles, 2nd son of John, 1st Lord Chandos), SIR JAMES BRYDGES, Bart., of Wilton Castle, as 8th Baron Chandos. This nobleman was accredited ambassador to Con stantinople in 1680, where he resided for some years in great honour and esteem. His lordship m. Elizabeth, eldest dau. and co heir of Sir Henry Bernard, Knt., an eminent Turkey merchant. By this lady he had no less than twenty-two children, of which number fifteen only were christened, and seven of those dying young, the remainder were, 1. JAMES, his successor. II.
