1590-1642. English courtier, knight-marshal
to Charles I from 1626. He sat as a member of
both the Short and the Long Parliaments and,
though sympathizing with the Parliamentary
position, remained true to his allegiance: he
died at his post as royal standard bearer at
the Battle of Edgehill. His son Ralph
(1613-96) supported the Parliamentarians. The
Verney papers are a valuable record of this
and later periods.
