The Spring Baronetcy, of Pakenham in the County of Suffolk, is a title in the Baronetage of England. HistoryThe title was created on 11 August 1641 for Sir William Spring, a Suffolk Member of Parliament who had already been knighted by Charles I. He was the son of Sir William Spring of Pakenham, and descended from the Suffolk gentry Spring family, who had been major wool merchants in the late fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The baronetcy was created as part of an attempt by the king to win the favour of Parliamentarian gentry families in the lead up to the Civil War, as the Spring family was staunchly Parliamentarian and held considerable influence in Suffolk. Following the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660, the family was issued with a general pardon for their actions against the king. The first baronet’s son, also William, inherited the title. He was a MP for Suffolk and one of the earliest members to be designated a Whig. The baronetcy became dormant on the death of the sixth Baronet in 1769. MottoThe family motto is Non mihi sed Patriae (Latin), Not for myself but for my country.[1] Spring baronets, of Pakenham (1641)
