Personal life

Conyers Darcy was the son of Thomas Darcy and Elizabeth Conyers and grandson of John Conyers, 3rd Baron Conyers. He married Dorothy Belasyse, daughter of Sir Henry Bellasis, 1st Baronet, and his wife Ursula. They had six sons and seven daughters.

Darcy became 1st Baron Darcy of Meinhill in 1641, with his wife thus becoming Lady Darcy and his son The Hon. Conyers Darcy.
