Biography

Paul Bayning was the only son and heir of Paul Bayning, 1st Viscount Baynng of Sudbury, Suffolk, and his wife Anne Glemham. He was baptised on 4 March 1615/16 at St. Olave's, Hart Street, London, England. [1] His father died on 29 July 1629, leaving him a large fortune. He was able to pay a £1800 fine to the king for his wardship. [2]

On 15 June 1632, he matriculated at age 16 at Christ Church Oxford, where he earned the Bachelor of Civil Law and BA degrees on 12 April 1633. [3]

Paul Bayning married Penelope, daughter of Sir Robert Naunton, Master of the Court of Wards and Liveries, and his wife Penelope Perrot, in 1634 at Hitcham, Suffolk, England. [4] Their marriage had two daughters: First, Anne, who married [Vere-142|Aubrey de Vere]], 20th Ear of Oxford - b. 1 May 1637; m. 18 June 1647; d. perhaps 1659. Second, Penelope, who married Hon John Herbert - b. after her father's death on 11 June 1638; m. 6 June 1651; bur. 1 May 1657 at the Chapel of St John the Baptist, Westminster Abbey. Both sisters were interred in the same place. Both died childless.

Viscount Bayning died at age 22 and was buried at his estate of Little Bentley, Essex. [5] After his death with no male heirs, his titles became extinct. Cite error 3; Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many but was subject to lengthy dispute. [6]

Scholars of Christ Church Oxford published a memorial to him. [7] His widow Penelope Bayning remarried 28 Mar 1639 to Philip Herbert, 5th Earl of Pembroke.

Research Note:

Some sources have listed the marriage date of Penelope Naunton and Paul Bayning as 25 August 1624. No primary evidence for this date has been shown, however, although there is a secondary transcript showing 1634 and evidence exists to show that the marriage had at least taken place by 1634. While very early marriages were common at this time, the 1620 birthdate of Penelope would have made her four years of age in 1624, which is extreme. Paul Bayning's Will was dated 1634, and the Will of Penelope's father names her as "Lady Bayning" in that year. [8] It thus seems conceivable that a transcription error might have resulted in a change in the record from 1624 to 1634.

ETA: Which it appears must have happened, as Cokayne in his Corrigenda changed the date to 1634 and the place to Suffolk. [9] Also, in a letter of 1 April 1634, G. Garrard to the Lord Deputy (Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford, who was Lord Deputy General of Ireland at the time) refers to "the Master of the Wards hath concluded a Match betwixt his only daughter and the Lord Bayning" [10]
