In 1749 Algernon Seymour, 7th duke of Somerset, was created earl of Egremont, and on his childless death in February 1750 this title passed by special remainder to his nephew, Sir Charles Wyndham or Windham, Bart.
The barony afterwards passed by marriage to the families of Lucy and Multon, and finally came to the Percys, earls of Northumberland, from whom are descended the present lords of the manor of Egremont.
The earliest evidence that Egremont was a borough occurs in a charter, granted by Richard de Lucy in the reign of King John, which gave the burgesses right to choose their reeve, and set out the customs owing to the lord of the manor, among which was that.

Egremont is an ancient market town, consisting principally of one wide street, pleasantly seated on the west bank of the river Ehen, over which there is a bridge of two arches, 6 miles S.E. of Whitehaven, and about 3 miles W. of the Irish sea.
It was anciently a borough, and the principal town in the barony of Copeland or Egremont, but was disfranchised, on the petition of the burgesses, to avoid the expense of representation in Parliament.
Egremont Castle - The venerable ruins of this ancient fortress, once the seat of the potent lords of the great barony of Copeland or Egremont, stand on an eminence, about 150 yards S.W. of the town, and exhibits indubitable marks of great antiquity and strength.

With careful replanting of oaks, sycamores, beeches, limes and horse-chestnuts, his vision of the tree-topped hills and wooded boundaries, giving the impression of a gentle transition from park to more distant countryside, remains today.
The 3rd Earl of Egremont placed several magnificent 17th-century urns throughout the park and built the boat-house.

Statutes were passed declaring the legitimacy of Queen Mary, reviving the laws for the suppression of heresy, forbidding the immigration of Scots, and vesting in the Crown the territory comprised in what are now the King's County and Queen's County, which were then so named after Felipe and Mary respectively.
During the second session of the Parliament of 1563 he spoke against the bill on the consecration of bishops and voted with the Catholic party against it: another opponent of this measure, William Stanley, 3rd Lord Monteagle, named Sussex as his proxy in 1580.
Notwithstanding this indication of nonconformity, Sussex was unfailingly loyal to the Elizabethan regime and after his service against the northern rebellion of 1569 when, however, he came briefly under suspicion for his leniency and because his half-brother Egremont Radcliffe had joined the rebels he was appointed to the Privy Council.
