parliament and persons of some importance. Grey, 5th Baron Chandos (c. 15801621), lord-lieutenant of Gloucestershire, was called the " king of the Cotswolds," owing to his generosity and his magnificent style of living at his residence, Sudeley Castle. He has been regarded by Horace Walpole and others as the author of some essays, Horae Subsecivae. His elder son George, 6th Baron Chandos (1620-1655), was a supporter of Charles I. during his struggle with Parliament , and distinguished himself at the first battle of Newbury in 1643. He had six daughters but no sons, and after the death of his brother William in 1676 the barony came to a kinsman, Sir James Brydges, Bart. (1642-1714), who was English ambassador to Constantinople from 168o to 1685.End of Article: JOHN BRYDGES If you wish, you can link directly to this article.
