involved and a month before Henry’s death he was seized by Parliamentary
forces 149 , Clarendon recorded that
They took prisoner the Lord Mountague of Boughton, at his house
in Northamptonshire, a person of great reverence, being above
fourscore years of age and an unblemished reputation for
declaring himself unsatisfied with their disobedient and undutiful
proceedings against the king 150
He was imprisoned in the Tower and then at the Savoy in Westminster,
where he died in 1642 151 .)
Henry was, like his father, married three times, his first wife being
Catherine Spencer, the daughter of Sir William Spencer of Yarnton in
Oxfordshire, whom he married in 1601. His first son was the inevitable
Edward, later 2 nd earl of Manchester & Viscount Mandeville who inherited,
and their second was Walter. James I of Lackham was the third son and
their last son was Henry. They also had two or three daughters; Elizabeth,
Lucy and Theodosia, although this is probably a confusion with Henry’s
sister 152 .
Elizabeth married, firstly, Sir Lewis Mansel, 2nd Bt., son of Sir Thomas
Mansel and Mary Mordaunt, on 25 August 1627 153 .
