  • .... The peerage consequently passed to his second son Henry Wentworth, 3rd Baron Wentworth (1558–1593), who was one of the judges of Mary, Queen of Scots, at Fotheringay in 1586. Henry was married to Anne Hopton and was father to Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Cleveland.
  • From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Wentworth,_2nd_Baron_Wentworth ________________________
  • Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Cleveland (1591 – 25 March 1667) was a Cavalier general who fought for Charles I during the English Civil War.
  • He was the eldest son of Henry Wentworth, 3rd Baron Wentworth, and Anne Hopton. His paternal grandfather was Thomas Wentworth, 2nd Baron Wentworth, the last Englishman to hold Calais. The younger Thomas succeeded his father in 1593.
  • In 1614, Wentworth inherited from an aunt the estate of Toddington, Bedfordshire, until then the property of the Cheyney family, and here he made his principal residence. In 1626, he was created Earl of Cleveland, and in the following year he served under George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham in the expedition to La Rochelle. Adhering to the cause of King Charles I in the King's dispute with the Parliament of England, he attended his kinsman Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford at his execution, and afterwards was a general on the royalist side in the Civil War until he was taken prisoner at the Second Battle of Newbury in 1644. Cleveland commanded a cavalry regiment at the Battle of Worcester in 1651, when he was again taken prisoner, and he remained in the Tower of London until 1656.
  • His early extravagance and the fortunes of war had greatly reduced his estates, and Nettlestead was sold in 1643. Cleveland was described by Edward Hyde, 1st Earl of Clarendon, as "a man of signal courage and an excellent officer"; his cavalry charge at the Battle of Cropredy Bridge, where he routed John Middleton's Parliamentary horse and then with Lord Wilmot's horse led another charge that captured the Parliamentary artillery, was one of the most brilliant incidents in the Civil War, and it was by his bravery and presence of mind that King Charles II was enabled to escape from Worcester.
  • At his death on 25 March 1667 the Earldom of Cleveland became extinct. He outlived his son Thomas (c. 1613–1665), who was called up to the House of Lords in his father's lifetime as Baron Wentworth, and whose daughter Henrietta Maria became Baroness Wentworth in her own right.

  • Wentworth, Thomas (1591-1667) by Herbert Edward Douglas Blakiston
  • WENTWORTH, Sir THOMAS, fourth Baron Wentworth of Nettlestead and first Earl of Cleveland (1591–1667), born in 1591, was the elder son of Henry, third baron Wentworth (d. 16 Aug. 1593), by Anne (d. May 1625), daughter of Sir Owen Hopton, lieutenant of the Tower. Thomas Wentworth, second baron [q. v.], was his grandfather. In 1595 his mother married Sir William Pope (1573–1631) of Wroxton (afterwards first Earl of Downe), and Thomas, with his brother Henry (d. 1644), afterwards a major-general in the king's army, and his sister Jane, who married Sir John Finet [q. v.], were brought up there. The boys matriculated on 12 Nov. 1602 at Trinity College, Oxford, their stepfather being the nephew of the founder, Sir Thomas Pope [q. v.]; a room had been built for them over the college library in 1601 at a cost of 50l. (Comp. Burs. Coll. Trin.) On 27 Aug. 1605 they appeared before James I at Christ Church (Wake, Rex Platonicus, p. 35), and Thomas was created a knight of the Bath on 4 June 1610. In 1611 he married, and seems to have settled at Toddington, Bedfordshire, with his great-aunt Jane (Wentworth), lady Cheyney, on whose death on 16 April 1614 he added the estates there of the Cheyney family to the Wentworth property in Suffolk and Middlesex. In 1619 he became custos rotulorum for the county of Bedford. Lloyd (Memoires p. 570) says that he served under Prince Maurice in 1620 and Count Mansfeldt in 1624, but has probably confused him with his second wife's father, Sir John Wentworth of Gosfield (d. 1631), who took part in Vere's expedition of 1620. He took his seat in the House of Lords on 30 Jan. 1621, was made joint lord lieutenant of Bedfordshire on 5 May 1625, and was created Earl of Cleveland on 7 Feb. 1626. .... etc.

  • Thomas Wentworth
  • Birth: 1591, England
  • Death: Mar. 25, 1667 Toddington, Central Bedfordshire Unitary Authority, Bedfordshire, England
  • Thomas Wentworth succeeded to the titles of fourth Baron Wentworth of Nettlestead and ninth Lord Despenser upon the death of his father Henry Wentworth on 16 Aug 1593/4. His mother was Anne Hopton, daughter of Sir Owen Hopton, who married William Pope, 1st Earl of Downe after the death of her first husband.
  • Thomas graduated from Trinity College, Oxford. An officer in the King's army, he was invested as a K.B. in 1610 and the following year married Anne Crofts. Among their issue was a son, Thomas, who would become the 5th Baron Wentworth.
  • His great-aunt was Jane Wentworth, widow of Henry, Lord Cheney who held the estate of Toddington. Upon his aunt's death, Thomas succeeded to those estates, Toddington becoming his primary residence.
  • He was lord lieutenant for Bedfordshire from 1625 to 1642, and regularly attended the Lords throughout the 1620's. In 1626 he was created the first earl of Cleveland.
  • In 1627, Cleveland served under Buckingham at la Rochelle and was present at the Duke's assassination in 1628.
  • Anne died in January of 1638, and by October he married again, taking as his wife Lucy, the daughter of Sir John Wentworth, Bt. of Gosfield, Essex. By this time, however, he was also heavily in debt.
  • In the months following his remarriage, he brought troops to fight alongside the king in the first bishop's war, and also fought in the next. He was wounded at the first battle of Newbury in 1643 and rode against Abingdon in command of a cavalry unit. He was at Cropredy Bridge, then Cornwall, and assisted in relieving Portland Castle. At the second battle of Newbury, he was captured and sent to the Tower. While on leave of bail, he escaped to the continent and joined Charles II at the Hague.
  • He commanded a cavalry regiment at Worcester in 1651 and led the charge which gave Charles time to escape. Cleveland was captured again that fall and sent back to the Tower. Put on trial, he escaped hanging by a single vote, but remained a prisoner for seven years.
  • When the King returned to London in 1660, Cleveland headed a cavalry regiment of 300 men, but debt continued to plague him and at the time of his death, little remained of his estates.
  • Upon his death, the title Earl of Cleveland was extinguished as his only son Thomas, (who had become the 5th Lord Wentworth in 1640), preceded him in death and left no male heirs.
