Sir Charles Lyttelton, 3rd Baronet

Sir Charles Lyttelton, 3rd Baronet (1628 – 2 May 1716) was an English Governor of Jamaica, army officer and MP.

He was born the second son of Sir Thomas Lyttelton, 1st Baronet of Hagley Hall, Worcestershire. He was knighted in 1662. He inherited the baronetcy and the family estates in Frankley, Halesowen, Hagley, and Upper Arley on the death of his brother Sir Henry Lyttelton, 2nd Baronet in 1693.

In his brother's lifetime he served as an army officer, rising to a Brigadier General and serving as Governor of Jamaica in 1663, of Harwich in 1667 and of Sheerness in 1680. He was joint Agent for Jamaica from 1682. He became Member of Parliament for Bewdley in 1685.

He married twice. His first wife Catherine, the daughter of Sir William Fairfax of Steeton, Yorkshire and widow of Martin Lister of Thornton, Yorkshire died with their child in Jamaica. His second wife Anne, the daughter and coheiress of Thomas Temple of Frankton, Warwickshire, and maid of honour to Queen Catherine of Braganza bore him five sons and eight daughters. His eldest son Charles had died in his lifetime without issue, so he was succeeded by his second son.
