In 1661, he was elected Member of Parliament for Banbury in the Cavalier Parliament. He was knighted after April 1661 and was created baronet on 1 June 1663. In 1679 he was re-elected MP for Banbury for the First Exclusion Parliament and for the Second Exclusion Parliament. He was last elected MP for Banbury in 1681.[1]
