British judge and politician
Robert Price.
Robert Price (14 January 1653 – 2 February 1733) was a British judge and politician.
Early life
[ edit ]
Robert Price, a Welshman, was born in early 1653 (1654 in the Gregorian calendar ), the eldest son of Thomas Price of Giler in Cerrigydrudion , Denbighshire , by Margaret, only child of Thomas Wynn of Bwlch y Beudy in the same parish.[1] He was educated at Ruthin Grammar School and St John's College, Cambridge ,[2] after which he entered Lincoln's Inn before making the Grand Tour .[3]
Career
[ edit ]
Sir Robert Price by Godfrey Kneller
On 23 September 1679 Price married Lucy, eldest daughter and coheiress of Robert Rodd of Foxley in Yazor , Herefordshire , by Ann Sophia, only child of Thomas Neale of Warneford, Hampshire . Robert Rodd died two years later and Price inherited the Foxley estate.[4] With her he had two sons and a daughter but in 1690, after her adultery with a cousin of hers (whom she bore a child), the couple separated without divorce , Price providing for her and their children throughout his life and in his will.[5]
In 1682 Price was appointed Attorney General for South Wales , as well as alderman of the city of Hereford ; the following year he became recorder of Radnor ; then steward to Catherine of Braganza in 1684; town clerk of Gloucester 1685; and King's Counsel for Ludlow in 1686.[6]
Price was removed as Attorney General and from other offices in 1688; he later successfully opposed William III's 1695 grant of lands in Denbighshire to William Bentinck, 1st Earl of Portland , earning the appellation "patriot of his native country". He was appointed a judge in Wales in 1700.[7]
Robert Price also served as Member of Parliament for Weobley during this period, resigning the seat in favour of his elder son Thomas in 1702; Queen Anne upon her succession had elevated Price to the bench as a Baron of the Exchequer .[8] In 1726 he became a justice of the Court of Common Pleas .
Price died at Kensington in February 1732 (1733 New Style ) and was buried at Yazor. His elder son Thomas, who had resigned his parliamentary seat to make a Grand Tour in Europe, had died at Genoa in 1706 (by differing accounts, murder or suicide [9] ), so the younger son Uvedale Tomkins Price succeeded to the family estates in Herefordshire and Denbighshire. There was also a daughter Lucy, who married Bampfylde Rodd of Devon , a distant cousin.[10]
