Mansel baronets of Muddlescombe (1622)

Last updated December 10, 2025

The Mansel baronetcy of Muddlescombe, Kidwelly, in the County of Carmarthen, was created in the Baronetage of England on 14 January 1622 for Francis Mansel. He was the younger brother of the 1st Baronet of the first creation.^[2] The 9th Baronet sat as Member of Parliament for Carmarthenshire.^[3]

Cokayne comments that the pedigree to the 5th Baronet is obscure.^[2] Burke's Peerage (1903) omits two, so that the MP Sir William Mansel is given as the 7th Baronet.^[1]
