Glynne Baronets

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Glynne Baronetcy of Bisseter in the County of Oxford, was created in the Baronetage of England on 20 May 1661 for William Glynne, the former Member of Parliament for Carnarvon.

The title became extinct on the death in 1874 of the 9th Baronet. The family estates, including Hawarden Castle in Flintshire, had been rescued from bankruptcy by the wealth of Sir John Gladstone, whose son William Gladstone (the Liberal Prime Minister) had married the 9th Baronet's sister Catherine; on his death, they passed to Catherine and William's eldest son William Henry Gladstone.
