Sir John St John, 1st Baronet (5 November 1585–1648) of Lydiard Tregoze in the English county of Wiltshire, was a Member of Parliament and prominent Royalist during the English Civil War. He was created a Baronet on 22 May 1611. ==Biography== John St John was the only surviving son of Sir John St John (''c''.1552–1594), and succeeded to the estates of Lydiard Tregoze (with a residency at Lydiard Park) 〔 cites 〕 in Wiltshire and Purley Park in Berkshire〔(Royal Berkshire History: Purley )〕 upon his father's death. He matriculated at Trinity College, Oxford on 3 April 1601 and was admitted to Lincoln's Inn in 1604. He was knighted at Whitehall, on 2 February 1608, and was created a Baronet at the first institution of that order, on 22 May 1611, being the seventeenth in precedency by creation. In the early 1630s he inherited from Lord Grandison, his uncle, his estates at Battersea and Wandsworth. St John was Member of Parliament for Wiltshire from 1624 to 1625 and High Sheriff of Wiltshire from 1632 to 1633. During the English Civil War, St John and his family supported the Royalist cause. Three of his sons were slain in the service of King Charles I: William, his second son, was killed at the taking of Cirencester, in Gloucestershire, under Prince Rupert; Edward, the third son, at the Battle of Newbury, in Berkshire; and John, the fifth son, in the north. Only two of his eight sons survived him, and it was his sixth son, Walter, who became his heir. Sir Walter went on to found the Sir Walter St John School at Battersea.〔'Parishes: Lydiard Tregoze', ''A History of the County of Wiltshire: Volume 9'' (1970) (pp. 75-90 )〕 * - Factually Incorrect his sixth son was not his heir - the 2nd Baronet was his Grandson John St John - the only child of his 1st son Oliver St John and Catherine De Vere - Only when he died in 1657 did the title come back up the line to make Walter the 3rd 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「Sir John St John, 1st Baronet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
