Sir Charles de Beaufort, who assumed the name of Somerset, Knight of the Garter, knighted Aug. 6, 1485. He was a person of great abilities and arrived to very high advancements, as well in honor as estates. He was in the Privy Council and Constable of Helmesley Castle in 1486; Admiral of the Fleet 1487; Vice Chamberlain 1488; Captain of the Yeomen of the Guards, and made Knight Banneret July 21, 1506. He became Baron Herbert of Ragland, Chepstow and Gower, in Wales, in right of his wife July 6, 1491; Lord Chamberlain in 1508; created Earl of Worcester Feb. 5, 1513. In 6th of Henry VII he was sent as ambassador with the Order of the Garter to Emperor Maximillian I, King Henry being his near kinsman. These eminent favours were doubtless a great furtherance of his marriage with Elizabeth, sole daughter of William Herbert, Earl of Huntingdon, Lord Herbert, etc., and was made Governor of Payne Castle, and Montgomery Castle in Wales. He was summoned to Parliament in 1509-1512 among the Barons by the name of Charles Somerset de Herbert, Chevalier. He continued in great favour with Henry VIII until his lordship's death April 15, 1526, and was buried at Windsor in Beaufort Chapel with his first two wives. He had married 2nd Elizabeth West and 3rd Eleanor Sutton. By his 1st wife he had Henry, his successor, and a daughter Elizabeth, and by his 2nd wife Charles, George and Mary.
