Charles Herbert Pierrepont, 2nd Earl Manvers (11 August 1778 – 27 October 1860) was an English hereditary peer and naval officer.

Early life and education

[edit]

Charles Pierrepont was the second son of Charles Pierrepont, 1st Earl Manvers and his wife Anne Orton Mills.[1] His elder brother, who predeceased their father, was Evelyn Pierrepont who was a Member of Parliament. Charles succeeded to the earldom upon the death of their father in 1816.

[edit]

Pierrepont entered the Royal Navy as a midshipman, and was made lieutenant on 10 March 1797, and on 11 August the same year commander of Kingfisher, a brig mounting 18 six-pounder guns, with a complement of 120 men. In her he captured the Lynx of 10 guns and 70 men,[2] and also:

  • On 15 September 1797 he captured the French privateer lugger Espoir of 2 guns and 39 men.[3]
  • On 8 January 1798, while about 150 nautical miles (280 km; 170 mi) west of the Burlings, he captured the Betsey, a French privateer ship of 16 guns and 118 men. She surrendered, having 9 men killed and wounded, while Kingsfisher had only 1 man wounded.[4]
  • On 26 May 1798 off Vigo, he captured the Spanish privateer lugger Avantivia Ferrolina, mounting one long gun and four swivels, with a crew of 26.[5]

He was promoted to post-captain into the 74-gun Spartiate on 24 December 1798,[2] and Kingfisher was taken over by his former first lieutenant, Frederick Maitland.[6] Pierrepont returned to England in July 1799. He was subsequently appointed to the 40-gun frigate Dédaigneuse, but resigned his command following the death of his elder brother Evelyn in October 1801.[2] He officially retired from the Navy in 1803.[7]
