Sir Edmund Pye, 1st Baronet

Sir Edmund Pye, 1st Baronet (c. 1607 – 1673) was an English landowner and politician, who sat in the House of Commons from 1661 to 1673.

[3] Pye had married into a staunchly royalist family, his brothers-in-law John, Thomas and Charles all fought for the king in the English Civil War.

[2] In recognition of his own support for the king in the period preceding the war he was created a baronet on 23 April 1641 and knighted at Whitehall four days later.

[1] Following the death of the heavily indebted Thomas, 6th baron Windsor in 1642,[4] Pye purchased the manor of Bradenham, Buckinghamshire.

[7] Their only son having died before his father, their heir was their daughter Martha, who inherited Bradenham from the Pyes and the title Baroness Wentworth from her paternal grandmother.
