The Beauchamp-Proctor, later Proctor-Beauchamp Baronetcy, of Langley Park in the County of Norfolk, is a title in the Baronetage of Great Britain. It was created on 20 February 1745 for the twenty-two-year-old William Beauchamp-Proctor, subsequently Member of Parliament for Middlesex. Born William Beauchamp, he assumed the additional surname of Proctor according to the will of his maternal uncle, George Proctor, of Langley Park, Norfolk. The second Baronet married Mary Palmer, a beauty who was the subject of portraits by George Romney and Benjamin West. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/west-lady-beauchamp-proctor-n05265 )〕 The third Baronet was an Admiral in the Royal Navy. The fourth Baronet assumed by Royal license the surname of Proctor-Beauchamp in lieu of Beauchamp-Proctor in 1852 and served as High Sheriff of Norfolk in 1869. He and his wife Catherine Waldegrave had nine children, including the fifth, sixth and seventh Baronets. The fifth Baronet was involved in a scandalous divorce case with his wife, Lady Violet Jocelyn, and Hugh Watt MP. The sixth Baronet was a Colonel in the Norfolk Regiment and was killed in action in the First World War. The seventh Baronet was a missionary in China and one of the Cambridge Seven. Two other members of the family may also be mentioned. Edward Beauchamp, second son of Reverend William Henry Beauchamp, second son of the third Baronet, was a Liberal politician and was created a Baronet in his own right in 1911 (see Beauchamp baronets). Edward Halhed Beauchamp, third son of George Edward Beauchamp, second son of the second Baronet, was a Captain in the Royal Navy. ==Heraldry== *Arms: First and fourth, argent, a chevron, between three martlets, sable, for Proctor; second and third, gules, a fess between six billets (three and three barways), or, a canton ermine, for Beauchamp. *Crest: On a mount, vert, a greyhound, sejant, argent, spotted, brown, collared, or. *Motto: Toujours fidele (Always Faithful) *Seat: Langley Park, Norfolk.〔William Betham, ''The baronetage of England: or The History of the English baronets, and such baronets of Scotland, as are of English families; with genealogical tables, and engravings of their coats of arms'', Publisher Burrell and Bransby, 1803 ((page 236 ))〕 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「Proctor-Beauchamp baronets」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
