Robert Jones (of Castell-March)

Robert Jones (born c.1596-died c.1653[1]) was a Welsh landowner and politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1625 and 1629.

[1] In 1625, Jones was elected Member of Parliament for Carnarvon in place of Edward Littleton, his brother-in-law,[1] who preferred to sit for Leominster.

[2] In 1628 he was elected MP for Flintshire and sat until 1629 when King Charles decided to rule without parliament for eleven years.

A Royalist on the outbreak of the first Civil War, in 1643 he was High Sheriff of Caernarvonshire and magistrate for the county, and governor of Caernarvon Castle from 1643 to 1646.

He sought immunity from delinquency proceedings by Parliament by claiming to have been party to the surrender of Beaumaris Castle to Roundhead forces.
