Sir Richard Carew, 1st Baronet

He also visited the courts of Poland, Sweden and France, the first two as part of an embassy led by his uncle and the last in attendance on the ambassador, Sir Henry Nevill.

[2] Carew published several works, including a treatise written to prove that "a warming stone" was "useful and comfortable for the colds of aged and sick people".

[2] The work argues for learning by translating back and forth, with a minimal amount of grammar teaching.

He had married twice: first, during his father's lifetime, to Bridget Chudleigh, by whom he had one son, Alexander (who succeeded to the baronetcy), and four daughters.

[2] The Civil War divided the family, and proved particularly fateful for them, for two years after Sir Richard's death Sir Alexander was executed on Tower Hill for treason as a Royalist, while John as a loyal Parliamentarian sat on the court that condemned King Charles and was eventually hanged, drawn and quartered as a regicide at the Restoration.

Arms of Carew: Or, 3 lions passant in pale sable [ 1 ] These were the arms shown on the seal of "Nicholas de Carreu" (c.1255–1311), appended to the Barons' Letter, 1301 , which he joined as "Lord of Mulesford " and which were blazoned for the same bearer in the Caerlaverock Poem or Roll of Arms of 1300, when he was present at the Siege of Caerlaverock Castle . From him were descended the Carew baronets of Antony and of Haccombe
