- Charles Wyndham, 2nd Earl of Egremont PC, a son of Sir William Wyndham and a direct descendant of Sir John Wyndham, succeeded his uncle, Algernon Seymour, 7th Duke of Somerset, as 2nd Earl of Egremont in 1750. Charles, who had succeeded to his father's baronetcy in 1740, inherited Somerset's estates in Cumberland and Sussex. His younger brother was Percy Wyndham-O'Brien, 1st Earl of Thomond. Wyndham was a member of Parliament (MP) from 1734 to 1750: for Bridgwater 1734-1741, Appleby 1741-1747, and Taunton 1747-1750. In October 1761 he was appointed Secretary of State for the Southern Department in succession to William Pitt. His term of office, during which he acted in concert with his brother-in-law, George Grenville, was mainly occupied with the declaration of war on Spain and with the negotiations for peace with France and Spain, the terms of which the earl seems to have disliked. He was also involved with the proceedings against John Wilkes. He died on 21 August 1763. Horace Walpole perhaps rates Egremont's talents too low when he says he had neither knowledge of business, nor the smallest share of parliamentary abilities. He was Lord Lieutenant of Cumberland 1751-1763 and Lord Lieutenant of Sussex 1762-1763.
- Charles Wyndham, 2. hrabia Egremont (ur. 1710, zm. 21 sierpnia 1763) - brytyjski polityk. Jego ojcem był torysowski polityk Sir William Wyndham (zm. 1740). Charles Wyndham był w latach 1734-1750 członkiem parlamentu (z okręgów Bridgwater 1734-1741, Appleby 1741-1747, i Taunton 1747-1750). Od 9 października 1761 do 21 sierpnia 1763 był sekretarzem stanu płd. departamentu, gdy stanowisko to stracił William Pitt Starszy. Na tym nowym stanowisku pomagał swojemu szwagrowi, premierowi Grenville'owi przygotować deklarację wojny przeciw Hiszpanii, a potem negocjacje pokojowe z tym krajem. Wydaje się, że nie był zwolennikiem ostatecznych warunków porozumienia z Hiszpanami. Działał przeciw obrazoburczym kampaniom prasowym Johna Wilkesa. Znany pamiętnikarz i polityk tych czasów Horace Walpole, 4. hrabia Orford uważał Wyndhama za nieudolnego parlamentarzystę i organizatora, choć sam był nieskutecznym politykiem, więc zapewne był tu stronniczy. Wyndham był lordem-pułkownikiem Cumberland w latach 1751-1763 i potem Sussex w latach 1762-1763.
