Biography

Sir Roland Egerton, 1st Baronet (died 1646) was an English landowner and politician from the Egerton family who sat in the House of Commons in 1624.
Egerton was the son of Sir John Egerton (known as "black Sir John"), of Egerton and Oulton, Cheshire, of Wrinehill, Staffordshire, and of Farthingho, Northamptonshire, and his first wife, Margaret Stanley, daughter of Sir Rowland Stanley, of Hooton, Cheshire. He succeeded his father on 27 April 1614 and was knighted on 14 March 1617 at Whitehall. He was created baronet of Egerton and Oulton on 5 April 1617. In 1624, he was elected Member of Parliament for Wootton Bassett in the Happy Parliament. He was a great supporter of the Royalist cause during the Civil Wars, although he was too old to take an active part. Egerton died suddenly and was buried on 3 October 1646, at Farthingho.
Egerton married Bridget Grey, daughter of Arthur, Lord Grey de Wilton, sometime Chief Governor of Ireland and his second wife, Jane Sibella Morrison, granddaughter of Sir Richard Morrison, and sister and coheir of 15th and last Baron Grey of Wilton. Bridget died on 28 July 1648, and was also buried on 3 October 1646 at Farthingho. They had five sons, four of whom died with issue.
