Sir Charles Knightley, 2nd Baronet (30 January 1781 – 30 August 1864)[1][2] was a British Conservative politician.[3][4][5]
Knightley was the son of Reverend Charles Knightley and Elizabeth née Boulton. In 1813, he married Selina Mary Hervey, daughter of Felton Lionel Hervey and Selina Mary née Elwill, and they had at least two children: Sophia Selina Knightley (died 1886), and Rainald Knightley, 1st Baron Knightley (1819–1895).[5]
Knightley was first elected Conservative MP for South Northamptonshire at the 1835 general election and held the seat until 1852, when he did not seek re-election.[6][3]
He succeeded to the Baronetcy of Fawsley in 1812 upon the death of his uncle, Sir John Knightley, 1st Baronet. Upon his own death in 1864, the title was inherited by his son, Rainald.[2][5]
