Sir Robert Maude, 1st Baronet

Sir Robert Maude, 1st Baronet (1677 – 4 August 1750) was an Anglo-Irish politician.

He was the only son of Anthony Maude, MP for Cashel and High Sheriff of Tipperary, and Alice Hartstonge, daughter of Sir Standish Hartstonge, 1st Baronet, Baron of the Court of Exchequer (Ireland) and his first wife Elizabeth Jermyn of Gunton, Norfolk. He married Eleanor Cornwallis, daughter of Thomas Cornwallis of Albermarlais and his wife Emma Charlton, and sister of Francis Cornwallis. He lived at Dundrum House, near Cashel, County Tipperary.

Maude sat in the Irish House of Commons as the Member of Parliament for Gowran from 1703 to 1713. Between 1713 and 1727 he represented St Canice, before sitting for Bangor from 1727 to his death in 1750.[1] On 9 May 1705 he had been created a baronet, of Dundrum in the Baronetage of Ireland, and was succeeded in his title by his eldest son, Thomas Maude, who was made Baron de Montalt in 1776. His second son, Cornwallis Maude, was created Viscount Hawarden in 1793.
