The Seymour, later Culme-Seymour Baronetcy, of Highmount and Friery Park in the County of Devon, is a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. It was created on 31 May 1809 for the naval commander Admiral Michael Seymour. The second Baronet assumed the additional surname of Culme, which was that of his first wife. The third Baronet was also an admiral in the Royal Navy and notably commanded the Channel Squadron from 1890 to 1892 and the Mediterranean Fleet from 1893 to 1896. The fourth Baronet was a vice admiral in the Royal Navy. He commanded the battleship HMS ''Centurion'' at Jutland in 1916 and served as second-in-command of the Mediterranean Fleet between 1920 and 1923, as Commander-in-Chief of North America and the West Indies from 1923 to 1924 and as Second Sea Lord from 1924 to 1925. The fifth Baronet was a member of the Northamptonshire County Council and also served as a Deputy Lieutenant of the county. Two other members of the family also had distinguished naval careers. Sir Michael Seymour, third son of the first Baronet, was an admiral in the Royal Navy. Sir Edward Hobart Seymour, son of Reverend Richard Seymour, fourth son of the first Baronet, was an admiral of the fleet. The Culme-Seymour baronets are members of a junior branch of the Seymour family headed by the Duke of Somerset (see Seymour family). The family surname is pronounced "Cullum-Seamer". ==Seymour, later Culme-Seymour baronets, of Highmount and Friery Park (1809)== *Rear-Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, KCB, 1st Baronet (1768–1834) *Reverend Sir John Hobart Culme-Seymour, 2nd Baronet (1800–1880) *Admiral Sir Michael Culme-Seymour, GCB, GCVO, 3rd Baronet (1836–1920) *Vice-Admiral Sir Michael Culme-Seymour, MVO, 4th Baronet (1867–1925) *Sir Michael Culme-Seymour, 5th Baronet (1909–1999) *Sir Michael Patrick Culme-Seymour, 6th Baronet (born 1962) The heir apparent to the baronetcy is Michael Culme-Seymour (born 1986), eldest son of the 6th Baronet. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Culme-Seymour baronets」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
