LifeHe was the third son of Henry Somerset, 5th Duke of Beaufort, and elder brother of Lord Raglan. Joining the 15th Light Dragoons in 1793, he became captain in the following year, and received a majority after serving as aide-de-camp to Prince Frederick, Duke of York in the Dutch expedition of 1799. At the end of 1800 he became a lieutenant-colonel, and in 1801 received the command of the 4th Dragoons.[1] From 1799[2] to 1802 he represented the Borough of Monmouth in the House of Commons, from 1803 to 1823 and from 1830[3] sat for Gloucestershire and from 1834[4] to 1837 was MP for Cirencester. He commanded his regiment at the battles of Talavera and Buçaco, and in 1810 received a colonelcy and the appointment of aide-de-camp to the king. In 1811, along with the 3rd Dragoon Guards, the 4th Dragoons fought a notable cavalry action at Usagre, and in 1812 Lord Edward Somerset was engaged in the great charge of Le Marchant's heavy cavalry at Salamanca. His conduct on this occasion (he captured five guns at the head of a single squadron) won him further promotion, and he made the remaining campaigns as a major-general at the head of the Hussar brigade (7th, 10th and 15th Hussars).[1] At Orthes he won further distinction by his pursuit of the enemy; he was made KCB, and received the thanks of parliament. At Waterloo he was in command of the Household Cavalry Brigade,[5] which distinguished itself not less by its stern and patient endurance of the enemy's fire than by its celebrated charge on the cuirassiers of Milhaud's corps.[1] The brigadier was particularly mentioned in Wellington's despatches, and received the thanks of parliament[1] as well as the Army Gold Cross with one clasp for his services at Talavera, Salamanca, Vitoria, Orthez, and Toulouse. He also received the Military Order of Maria Theresa and was made an honorary Knight Commander of the Royal Portuguese Military Order of the Tower and Sword.[6] At Waterloo in 1815 he lost his hat during the first cavalry charge and in the subsequent search for it a cannonball tore off the flap of his coat and killed his horse.[7] He was awarded a GCB in 1834.[8] After a short illness he died in London on 10{{nbsp}}December 1842 and was interred in the church of St. George's, Hanover Square.[9] A memorial tablet to Lord Edward [10] is on the south wall of the nave at St. Michael and All Angels, Great Badminton, which is attached to the family seat, Badminton House. The 'Lord Somerset Monument' stands high on the Cotswold Edge at Hawkesbury, Gloucestershire ({{gbmapping|ST772878}}), near the family's ancestral home of Badminton, Gloucestershire. It was erected in 1846. FamilyOn 17 October 1805 he married Lady Louisa Augusta Courtenay (1781{{snd}}8 February 1825), a younger daughter of William Courtenay, 8th Earl of Devon, with whom he had several children, three sons and five daughters:[11]
