Edward Herbert (politician)
- Edward Herbert (politician)
Sir Edward Herbert (c. 1591 - 1658), was a member of the Parliament of England under Kings James I and Charles I. He was the cousin of Edward Herbert, Baron Herbert of Cherbury.
Having become Attorney-General he was instructed by Charles I to take proceedings against some members of parliament who had been concerned in the passing of the Grand Remonstrance; the only result, however, was Herbert's own impeachment by the House of Commons and his imprisonment. Later in life he lived in exile with the royal family in Holland and in France, becoming Lord Keeper of the Great Seal to Charles II, an office which he had refused in 1645. He died in Paris. One of Herbert's son was Arthur Herbert, 1st Earl of Torrington, and another was Sir Edward Herbert (c. 1648-1698).
