Josceline Percy {{post-nominals|country=GBR|CB}} (29 January 1784 – 19 October 1856) was a Royal Navy officer and politician who went on to be Commander-in-Chief, The Nore. FamilyJosceline was the fourth son of Algernon Percy, second Baron Lovaine of Alnwick (1750–1830) and his wife Isabella Susannah Burrell.[1] Through his father he was the grandson of Hugh Percy, first duke of Northumberland,[1] and through his mother the grandson of Peter Burrell of Beckenham, Kent. His maternal uncle was Peter, first Baron Gwydyr, and Henry Percy (1785–1825) and William Henry Percy (1788–1855, another naval officer) were his younger brothers.[1] LifeBorn with a twin brother (Hugh, 1784–1856), Percy's first naval service began in February 1797, on Lord Hugh Seymour's flagship {{HMS|Sans Pareil|1794|6}}.[1] Next he served on {{HMS|Amphion|1798|6}} from 1801 to 1803 in the Mediterranean and - whilst in that theatre of war - transferred (with Nelson and Hardy) into {{HMS|Victory}}.[1] From there he was made {{HMS|Medusa|1801|6}}'s acting lieutenant (under Captain John Gore, who was later knighted) in August 1803, and his assistance in her capture of Spanish treasure ships on 5 October 1804 led to that commission being confirmed the following 30 April.[1] He moved to {{HMS|Diadem|1782|6}} sometime before 1806, for he was in that ship that year with Sir Home Riggs Popham during Cape Town's capture and was promoted from it to his first independent command came on 13 January 1806, over the brig {{HMS|Espoir}}.[1] To reach that ship he was posted to the Dutch ship Bato, then thought to be in Simon's Bay, but - finding the Bato destroyed and that the Espoir had already sailed back to England - he had no choice but to return to the Diadem.[1] The French 46-gun frigate Volontaire arrived in Table Bay on 4 March (not knowing the British had captured the Cape), and was seized, commissioned into the Royal Navy, and put under Percy's command, with orders to reach St Helena and head a convoy then returning to England.[1] He also received confirmation of his two promotions of 1806, which were given the dates of 22 January and 25 September 1806 respectively.[1] On arrival in England, he became the Tory Member of Parliament for Beer Alston, Devon (a 'pocket borough' of his father's), a role he held until 1820.[1] He assisted at the occupation of Madeira by Sir Samuel Hood in 1807 (commanding the 22 gun {{HMS|Comus|1806|6}}).[1] To meet the terms of the convention of Cintra, requiring all defeated French forces to be returned to France, he transported the French general Junot from Portugal to La Rochelle in 1808, during his captaincy of the 36 gun {{HMS|Nymphe|1780|6}}.[1] He commanded the frigate {{HMS|Hotspur|1810|6}} along the coast of France (and later at Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires) from November 1810 to the end of 1815, when he sailed back to England.[1] He was appointed a Companion of the Order of the Bath on 26 September 1831, on the occasion of King William IV's Coronation Honours.[2] On 23 November 1841, he was promoted to rear-admiral, acting as the Commander-in-Chief, Cape of Good Hope Station (November 1841-spring 1846)[3] and Commander-in-Chief, Sheerness (June 1851-June 1854), having been promoted to vice admiral on 29 April 1851.[1] He was appointed Commander-in-Chief, The Nore in 1851.[4] Marriage and issueOn 9 December 1820, he married Sophia Elizabeth Walhouse (died 13 December 1875), daughter of Moreton Walhouse of Hatherton, Staffordshire, and sister of Lord Hatherton. One son and three daughters were born of the marriage. The only son Alan (1825–1845) died young; of the daughters[5]
