Sir Maurice Berkeley (1599–1654) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1621 and 1626.
[3] Berkeley supported King Charles I in the Civil War, arguing later that he was forced to do so and to sign warrants for raising money because of his proximity to Bristol.
On 26 January 1647, he begged to compound for delinquency and was set a fine of £1,030 on 25 March.
[2] Berkeley died in 1654 and was buried at Stoke Gifford on 3 January 1655.
[1] They had a daughter Frances, on whose behalf her father later petitioned Charles I complaining that Lady Purbeck and her husband had received a more generous marriage settlement than her sister.
