Richard Lucy (1619–1677)

Richard Lucy (1619 – 21 December 1677) of Charlecote Park, Warwickshire was an English landowner and politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1653.

[2] In 1660 Lucy was elected MP for Yarmouth in the Convention Parliament, and quickly made his peace with the restored Stuart dynasty.

He was re-elected MP for Yarmouth in the Cavalier Parliament, but played a relatively passive role in politics thereafter.

[2] Lucy died in December 1677, at the age of 58: Charlecote passed to his only surviving son Thomas, and after Thomas's death without male issue, to Richard's nephew Davenport, eldest son of his youngest brother Sir Fulke, who also died in 1677.

Richard had five brothers, including Sir Fulk Lucy, MP for Cheshire[3] and six sisters including Constance, who married firstly Sir William Spencer, 2nd Baronet, and secondly Sir Edward Smith, who sat as Roger Lucy's fellow MP for Yarmouth, and was later appointed Chief Justice of the Irish Common Pleas.
