Charles Boscawen

Charles Boscawen (1627–1689) was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons variously between 1654 and 1689.

Boscawen was the son of Hugh Boscawen of Tregothnan, Cornwall and his wife Margaret Rolle, daughter of Robert Rolle of Heanton Satchville, Devon. He was baptised on 28 October 1627. He was educated at Inner Temple in 1646.[1]

In December 1654, Boscawen was elected Member of Parliament for Cornwall in the First Protectorate Parliament. He was elected MP for Truro in 1659 for the Third Protectorate Parliament.[2]In 1652 and 1657 he was commissioner for assessment for Cornwall. In December 1659 he was party to the Cornish address for a free parliament. He became a J.P. in 1660 and was captain in the militia from 1660 as well as at various times commissioner for assessment.[1] In 1689 he was elected MP for Tregoney which he held until his death a few months later at the age of 62.[3]

Boscawen was unmarried. He was described as a melancholy man who was not fit to be deputed to welcome the Prince of Orange.[1] His brothers Hugh and Edward were also both MPs in Cornwall.
