About Charles FitzRoy, 1st Baron Southampton

General Charles FitzRoy, 1st Baron Southampton was a British Army officer, politician and courtier who served in the Seven Years' War and sat in the House of Commons from 1759 to 1780. The second son of Lord Augustus FitzRoy, FitzRoy joined the 1st Regiment of Foot Guards as an ensign in 1752 and was promoted to lieutenant colonel in 1758. In the following year he fought at the Battle of Minden as an aide-de-camp, where he was a part of the controversy surrounding Lord George Sackville's slow reaction to orders sent to him. FitzRoy was also present at the Battle of Vellinghausen in 1761. Having been quickly promoted through the ranks with the support of his powerful family, he was promoted to major general in 1772 and became a full general in 1793.
