Musgrave baronets

The second Baronet represented Westmorland in the House of Commons and served with distinction as a Royalist in the Civil War.

He was offered a peerage as Baron Musgrave, of Hartley Castle in the County of Westmorland, but did not take up the patent.

The fourth Baronet sat as Member of Parliament for Carlisle, Westmorland, Appleby, Oxford University and Totnes.

The Musgrave Baronetcy, of Tourin in the County of Waterford, was created in the Baronetage of Ireland on 2 December 1782 for Richard Musgrave, a member of the Irish House of Commons, with remainder in default of male issue of his own to his younger brothers and the heirs male of the body.

On his death in 1818 he was succeeded according to the special remainder by his younger brother Christopher Frederick, the second Baronet.
