John Paulet, 5th Marquess of Winchester
- John Paulet, 5th Marquess of Winchester
John Paulet, 5th Marquess of Winchester (c. 1598 – 5 March, 1675) was 3rd but eldest surviving son of William Paulet and his successor as 5th Marquess of Winchester.
John Paulet having garrisoned and stored his house at Basing as a place of support for the Royal forces, stood a siege in it, notwithstanding a treacherous attempt of his youngest brother, Lord Edward Paulet, to deliver it up to the enemy, from August 1643, to 16 October 1645, when in the general decline of the Royal cause, it was taken by storm, after a most valiant and determined defence, and the Marquis was made prisoner with such of his garrison as survived the fight; ten pieces of ordnance and much ammunition were also taken by the conquerors, as Cromwell himself, who directed the assault, writes to the Speaker.
The noble Marquess lived to see The Restoration, when he retired to Englefield House in Berkshire. He was succeeded, in 1674, by his eldest son, Charles, 6th Marquis, and 1st Duke of Bolton.
