VAUX, Henry (c. 1591-1663)

Like his brother, Vaux had a long history of involvement in Catholic opposition to the crown. His estates were sequestered for recusancy during the Interregnum and he seems to have resided at Eye in Suffolk. CCC, 3194. He inherited no lands with his title, they having been settled on Nicholas Knollys, titular 3rd earl of Banbury, but he was granted an annuity of £100 p.a.

Following the death of his brother, Vaux sent a petition to the king asking for a writ of summons, but there is no evidence that he actually took his seat. Bodl. Clarendon 75, f. 413. He was absent when the House was called over on 25 Nov. 1661. At his death the title fell into abeyance until 1838.
