Thomas Myddelton (younger)
- Thomas Myddelton (younger)
Sir Thomas Myddelton of Chirk Castle (1586 – 1666) was the son of Sir Thomas Myddelton.
He married Mary Napier, sister of Richard Napier, the astrologer.
During the English Civil War he became prominent as Sergeant Major General of the Parliamentary forces in North Wales. However, he disapproved of the king's trial, and was excluded from Parliament in 1649.
In 1659 he joined the Cheshire Rising led by George Booth, and proclaimed Charles II as king in Wrexham market place. As a result General John Lambert besieged Chirk Castle. Myddelton and his brothers were given notice to quit the country.
At the Restoration Sir Thomas is said to have received £60,000 to compensation and his son was ennobled as Sir Thomas Myddelton, 1st Baronet of Chirk Castle.
