He was the fourth but second surviving son of Sir Edmund Wyndham ({{circa|1600}}-1681), and Christabella, daughter of Hugh Pyne of Cathanger, Fivehead, Somerset. Christabella was the wet nurse for the future King Charles II and considered one of the most beautiful women of her day.[1] The Wyndhams were an ancient and honourable family, with roots in Norfolk and Somerset going back more than two centuries.[1] in the House of Commons. Sir Edmund served as an MP for Minehead and Bridgwater as did his brother Sir Francis Wyndham, 1st Baronet. Charles' oldest brother, Sir Hugh Wyndham (1624-1671). and younger brother Thomas Wyndham, were also MPs.[2] Sir Edmund was a royalist who supported Kings Charles I and Charles II. Sir Francis, a colonel, helped Charles II escape after his defeat at Dunster Castle.[3] The family went abroad after the end of the English Civil War, and Wyndham served as a Page of Honour to the exiled Charles II until 1660.[4] CareerWyndham continued his career at court after the Restoration. He served as sewer of the queen's chamber to King Charles' consort, Queen Catherine, until 1669, then served as Gentleman Usher of the Privy Chamber from 1687–1694.[2] In 1661, he became a Cornet in the Royal Horse Guards (The Blues). Wyndham was knighted 15 September 1662. He became a lieutenant in 1667, followed by captain from 1685–1689.[4] Wyndham served as MP for Southampton from 1679–1689 and 1689–1698,[5][6] and St Ives from 1698–1701.[7] Wyndham was a very popular MP in Southampton, where he earned a reputation as "a zealous assertor of the tenants’ rights" against their landlord.[4] His coat of arms has been placed on a shield on the city Bargate.[8] Personal lifeOn 19 June 1665, he married Jamesina Young, the daughter of James Young of Winchester.[2] Through her uncle John Young, the Dean of Winchester, Wyndham inherited Cranbury Park, Hursley, where Sir Isaac Newton lived toward the end of his life.[4] Wyndham died 22 July 1706, without male issue, and was buried at Hursley Church. His wife died on 31 May 1720 and was interred next to her husband at the church.[1] References1. ^1 2 {{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nMoxAQAAIAAJ&pg=PA127|title=Papers and Proceedings, Volumes 4-5|publisher=A&C Black |author= Hampshire Field Club and Archaeological Society |year= 1905 |page=127 }} {{s-start}}{{s-par|en}}{{succession box2. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1690-1715/member/wyndham-sir-charles-1638-1706 |title= WYNDHAM, Sir Charles (1638-1706), of Cranbury House, Hursley, Hants. |publisher= Parliament of the United Kingdom |accessdate=13 March 2015 }} 3. ^{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=zCrLAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA207 |title=General Percy Kirke and the Later Stuart Army|publisher=A&C Black |author=John Childs |year=2014 |page=207 }} 4. ^1 2 3 {{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=HW1_upECKUwC&pg=RA1-PA772 |title=The House of Commons, 1660-1690, Volume 1 |publisher=Secker & Warburg |editor=Basil Duke Henning |year=1983 |page=772 }} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1660-1690/constituencies/southampton |title= Southampton Borough: the House of Commons 1660-1690|publisher= Parliament of the United Kingdom |accessdate=13 March 2015 }} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1690-1715/constituencies/southampton |title= Southampton Borough: the House of Commons 1690-1715|publisher= Parliament of the United Kingdom |accessdate=13 March 2015 }} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1690-1715/constituencies/st-ives |title= St. Ives Borough: the House of Commons 1690-1715|publisher= Parliament of the United Kingdom |accessdate=13 March 2015 }} 8. ^{{cite book |last=Peberdy |first=Philip |date=1967 |title=Bargate Guildhall Museum Southampton |publisher=Southampton Museums |pages=7–8 |OCLC=655570724 }} | title = Member of Parliament for Southampton | with = Benjamin Newland | years = October 1679–March 1681 | before = Thomas Knollys | after = Richard Brett }}{{s-par|en}}{{succession box | title = Member of Parliament for Southampton | with = Benjamin Newland | years = 1685–1687 | before = Edward Fleming | after = John Smith }}{{s-par|en}}{{succession box | title = Member of Parliament for Southampton | with = Benjamin Newland | years = 31 Dec. 1689–1698 | before = Richard Brett | after = John Smith II }}{{s-par|en}}{{succession box | title = Member of Parliament for St Ives | with = James Praed | years = 1698–1701 | before = John Michell | after = Benjamin Overton }}{{s-end}}{{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Wyndham, Charles (1638-1706)}} 13 : 1638 births|1706 deaths|Knights Bachelor|Cavaliers|Royal Horse Guards officers|English MPs 1679|English MPs 1680–1681|English MPs 1681|English MPs 1685–1687|English MPs 1689–1690|English MPs 1690–1695|English MPs 1695–1698|English MPs 1698–1700 |
