• Notes

  !Sir Baldwin Malet of St. Audries was Solicitor General unto King Henry III. The" St. Audries " line begins with him. Noteable members of this line were; Thomas Malet of Poyington who followed Sir Baldwin in the legal profession and became Solicitor General to Charles I's Queen,and was appointed Judge of the Kings Bench in 1641.He was imprisoned in the Tower by the Parliamentarians in 1642 but was released in 1644. His 2nd son,Baldwin was killed in a skirmish with the Parliamentry "Roundhead" forces,aged 20. Sir Thomas received a patent of Baronetcy from Charles II (1663) but this was never sealed and was therefore ineffective to confer a Baronetcy on the family. On 24th Feb.,1791 a Baronetcy was conferred on his descendent, Sir Charles Warre Malet of Wilbury House in Wiltshire,for his services in India to the Honourable East India Company and the Empire.Charles Warre Malet negotiated the Treaty with Mahdeo Rao Narrayun in 1790 against Tippoo Sultan.He subsequently held office as Govenor of the Bombay Presidency and retired in 1798. The surviving branches of the family went on to produce notable military men, and diplomats right up to WWII !was solicitor unto King Henry VIII. Under the will of his father he inherited West Quantockshead,commonly called St Audries,and was the progenitor of the branches of the families of Malet who severally held that place,Ullegh or Wolley in Devonshi re,and Poyntington in Somerset.He inherited Wolley from his mother.
