Hannibal Vyvyan (baptised 11 July 1598 – by 22 April 1657) was an English politician and Member of Parliament (MP).
[1] The Vyvyan family were prominent in local politics, with Hannibal's father and his older brothers Michael and Francis sitting in Parliament for Cornish constituencies.
Francis Vyvyan became captain of St Mawes Castle, and arranged for the post to pass to Hannibal in July 1620.
He sought to be returned for Parliament using the influence of his brother Francis, in order to avail himself of Parliamentary privilege.
He supported Parliament during the English Civil War and was probably present at the Battle of Lostwithiel in mid-1644 with the Earl of Essex's army.
