Sir William Airmine, 1st Baronet

Sir William Airmine, 1st Baronet

Sir William Airmine, 1st Baronet (11 December, 1593 - 10 April, 1651), of Osgodby in Lincolnshire, was an English Member of Parliament, and a leading member of the Long Parliament during the English Civil War. His surname is also spelt Armine or Armyne.

Airmine was the son of Bartholomew Armine of Osgodby. He was created a baronet on 28 November 1619, and served as High Sheriff of Lincolnshire in 1630 and High Sheriff of Huntingdonshire in 1639. He entered Parliament in 1621 as member for Boston, representing that borough 1621-1622 and 1624-1625. He subsequently also represented Grantham (1625 and 1641-1651) and Lincolnshire (1626 and 1628-1629).

Airmine acted as assistant to the managers of the parliamentary impeachment of the Duke of Buckingham in 1626. The following year he refused to collect an arbitrary "loan" which the King had attempted to impose on Lincolnshire, and was imprisoned as a result. At the outbreak of the English Civil War he declared for Parliament, and was sent on Parliament's behalf to discuss terms with the King in 1643. After the King's execution, he was elected a member of the Council of State in 1649, and re-elected in 1650 and 1651.

He married twice. His first wife was Martha (c. 1569-1602), daughter of Lord Eure, and they had six children:
*Sir William Airmine, 2nd Baronet (1622-1658), MP for Cumberland, who succeeded to the baronetcy
*Colonel Theophilus Airmine (1623-1644)
*Sir Michael Airmine, 3rd Baronet (1625-1688), Sheriff of Lincolnshire
*Elizabeth Airmine (1621-1679), who married Sir Thomas Style of Wateringbury
*Anne Airmine (1624-1671), who married Sir Thomas Barnardiston of Great CotesHis second wife was Mary Airmine (d. 1675), daughter of Henry Talbot, son of the Earl of Shrewsbury. She was a philanthropist who founded three hospitals, and also took an active interest in missionaries among Native Americans in England's colonies. By her, Sir William had one further child:
*Talbot Airmine (b.1630)
