Sir Philip Carteret, 2nd Baronet

Biography

When his father Carteret, he was still under age. He is said to have come of age in 1671.

Since the Sark court refused to let an Anglican to power, Philippe had to request the British crown to dissolve the court in 1675. When such was done through the Order in Council of 1675, the Seigneur of Sark instated a jurisdiction composed of a Seneschal, Greffier and Prevot.

Upon his death in 1693 Charles de Carteret, his eldest son, inherited his titles and lands.^[1]

Family

Carteret married Elizabeth (1660–1717), daughter of Sir Edward De Carteret Seig De Trinity. They had several children including their eldest son Charles (1679-1715).^[1]
