Charles Paulet, 13th Marquess of Winchester
Charles Ingoldsby Paulet, 13th Marquess of Winchester PC (27 January 1764 – 29 November 1843) was a British peer and courtier, styled Earl of Wiltshire from 1794 until 1800.
Born Lord Charles Ingoldsby Paulet, he was the eldest son of the 12th Marquess of Winchester and was educated at Eton and Clare College, Cambridge.[1] After graduating, he served with the 1st Regiment of Foot Guards as an ensign from 1784–86, then sat in the Commons as Member of Parliament (MP) for Truro from 1792–96. He returned to the military in 1796 as a Lt.-Col. in the North Hampshire Militia and became Lord Lieutenant of Hampshire in 1798. He also married Anne Andrews (daughter of John Andrews of Shotley Hall, near Shotley Bridge) that year and they had seven children:
- John Paulet, 14th Marquess of Winchester (1801–1887)
- Lord Charles Paulet (1802–1870), a religious minister, married Caroline Ramsden firstly; remarried to Joan Granville
- Lord George Paulet (1803–1879), an admiral, married Georgina Wood
- Lord William Paulet (1804–1893), a field marshal, died unmarried
- Lord Frederick Paulet (1810–1871), a soldier and equerry to the Duchess of Cambridge, died unmarried
- Lady Annabella (d. 1855), married Rear-Admiral William Ramsden
- Lady Cecilia (d. 1890), married Sir Charles des Voeux, 2nd Baronet
In 1812, Lord Winchester became Groom of the Stole to George III and continued as such under George IV and up until the death of William IV in 1837. When Queen Victoria came to the throne that year, the office was abolished. He was thus the last Groom of the Stole to the Sovereign — Prince Albert continued to have a Groom of the Stole, as did the Prince of Wales until the complete abolition of the office in 1901. In 1839, he added the name of Burroughs to his own, when he inherited the property of Sarah Salusbury (née Burroughs), Dame Salusbury as was required in her will. Lord Winchester died in 1843 and his titles passed to his eldest son, John.[citation needed]
