About Matthew Aylmer, 1st Baron Aylmer

Admiral of the Fleet Matthew Aylmer, 1st Baron Aylmer, was a Royal Navy officer and Whig politician who sat in the English and British House of Commons between 1695 and 1720. Aylmer was one of the captains who sent a letter to Prince William of Orange, who had just landed at Torbay, assuring the Prince of the captains' support; the Prince's response ultimately led to the Royal Navy switching allegiance to the Prince and the Glorious Revolution of November 1688. Aylmer saw action at the Battle of Bantry Bay in May 1689, at the Battle of Beachy Head in July 1690 and again at the Battle of Barfleur in May 1692 during the Nine Years' War.
