Sir Charles, who had been educated at Jesus College, Oxford and at Gray's Inn, was knighted in 1643 and succeeded his father to the baronetcy. He was appointed High Sheriff of Glamorgan in 1644. He also took part in the English Civil War on the king's side, attacking Cardiff in 1646 and defending Pembroke Castle afterwards. When the castle surrendered, he was fined £3,500 (equivalent to £269,753 in 2007 ) and exiled for two years.[1]
