William Sherard, 1st Baron Sherard

He had two brothers, who both died without issue, and a sister, Rose, who married John Sherard of Lobthorpe.

[3] Sherard was a member of the Honourable Band of Gentlemen Pensioners under King James I.

[4] On 3 July 1622, he received the honour of knighthood from King James I at Oatlands Palace.

On 10 July 1627, he was created Lord Sherard, Baron of Leitrim, in the Peerage of Ireland,[5] by James' successor, King Charles I.

The case was finally settled in 1638–39, with Mynne paying a fine and making an apology.
