It was created in February 1644 for Robert Dallison, the son of Sir Charles Dallison, an officer in the Royalist Army during the Civil War. Sir Robert was himself a supporter of the Royalist cause. The title became extinct on the death of the fourth Baronet in circa 1720. [1]

Sir Charles Dallison was a gentleman from Lincolnshire who served as an officer in the Royalist army during the English Civil War. He was also a serjeant-at-law, and in 1648 he published an often cited pamphlet justifying his reasons for supporting the Royalist cause.

English Civil War series of armed conflicts and political machinations between Parliamentarians and Royalists

The English Civil War (1642–1651) was a series of armed conflicts and political machinations between Parliamentarians ("Roundheads") and Royalists ("Cavaliers") over, principally, the manner of England's governance. The first (1642–1646) and second (1648–1649) wars pitted the supporters of King Charles I against the supporters of the Long Parliament, while the third (1649–1651) saw fighting between supporters of King Charles II and supporters of the Rump Parliament. The war ended with the Parliamentarian victory at the Battle of Worcester on 3 September 1651.

Dalison baronets

The Dalison Baronetcy, of Laughton in the County of Lincoln, was a title in the Baronetage of England. It was created on 29 June 1611 for Sir Roger Dalison, Lieutenant-General of the Ordnance, and Member of Parliament for Malmesbury. He purchased the baronetcy but was unable or unwilling to pay the price. He was also found to have embezzled large amounts of money from the Ordnance, and died in Fleet Prison as a debtor. After his death, a clerical error was discovered in the register of baronets, which meant that his surviving son, Thomas, could not automatically inherit the baronetcy. On 27 October 1624 it was recreated for Thomas Dalison. The title became extinct when Sir Thomas was killed at the Battle of Naseby in 1645.
