Hender Robartes

Hender Robartes was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1660 to 1687.
Robartes was the younger son of John Robartes, [1st Earl of Radnor] and his first wife, Lucy Rich, second daughter of Robert Rich, [2nd Earl of Warwick]. He was educated at Felsted School in Essex and Christ's College, Cambridge.
He was a Gentleman of the Privy Chamber from 1661 to 1685.
In 1660, Robartes was elected Member of Parliament for Bodmin in the Convention Parliament. He was re-elected in 1661 for the Cavalier Parliament and after that sat continuously until his death in 1688. Unlike his father, who played a major part in public life, he seems to have been a completely inactive MP.
He died unmarried at the age of 52 and was buried at St Hydroc's church, Lanhydrock.
Robartes was the brother of Robert Robartes, [Viscount Bodmin|Robert Robartes] and Francis Robartes.
