Viscount Savage
(Redirected from Savage Baronets)
Viscount Savage was a title in the Peerage of England. It was created in 1626 for Sir Thomas Savage, 2nd Baronet, husband of Elizabeth Savage (whom he married in 1602) and heir-apparent by special remainder to his father-in-law's titles of Baron Darcy of Chiche (1613), Viscount Colchester (1621) and Earl Rivers (1626).
His father, John Savage, was created baronet, of Rocksavage, Cheshire, on 29 June 1611,[2] after purchasing it. He had served at various times as a Member of Parliament for Cheshire, Mayor of Chester and Sheriff of Cheshire. He died on 7 July 1615.[3]
Thomas Savage died in 1635 before inheriting his father-in-law's titles, so on the death of Thomas Darcy, 1st Earl Rivers in 1640 the titles went instead to Savage's son John, 2nd Viscount Savage, who became 2nd Earl Rivers. Thomas' widow Elizabeth was created Countess Rivers in her own right in 1641.
The Savage daughters, Dorothy and Elizabeth, were great beauties, painted by Van Dyck. Dorothy married Charles Howard, 2nd Earl of Berkshire, and Elizabeth married Sir John Thimbleby of Irnham.
The Savage viscountcy and baronetcy became extinct along with the Rivers titles in 1737.
