Major General Charles Trelawny, also spelt 'Trelawney', (1653 – 24 September 1731) was an English soldier from Cornwall who played a prominent part in the 1688 Glorious Revolution, and was a Member of Parliament for various seats between 1685 and 1713. Trelawny began his military career in 1673, and held a number of senior commands under Charles II. Like many Tories, he initially backed the succession of James II in 1685, despite his Catholicism; his defection in 1688 illustrated the extent to which James had alienated his primary support base.

  • Major General Charles Trelawny, also spelt 'Trelawney', (1653 – 24 September 1731) was an English soldier from Cornwall who played a prominent part in the 1688 Glorious Revolution, and was a Member of Parliament for various seats between 1685 and 1713. Trelawny began his military career in 1673, and held a number of senior commands under Charles II. Like many Tories, he initially backed the succession of James II in 1685, despite his Catholicism; his defection in 1688 illustrated the extent to which James had alienated his primary support base. His elder brother, Sir Jonathan Trelawny, was one of the Seven Bishops whose prosecution and subsequent acquittal destroyed James' political authority. Along with John Churchill, later Duke of Marlborough, Trelawny organised support within the army for the November 1688 Glorious Revolution, when James was replaced by his Protestant daughter Mary, and Dutch son-in-law William of Orange. Trelawny served in the 1689 to 1691 Williamite War in Ireland, before resigning his commission in 1692. He remained an MP, and acted as political manager in Cornwall and Devon for his fellow Cornishman, Sidney Godolphin, Lord High Treasurer from 1702 to 1710. A Hanoverian Tory who supported the succession of George I, he left Parliament in 1713, and lived quietly at home, where he died in 1731. (en)
  • Le major-général Charles Trelawny (1653 - 24 septembre 1731) est un officier de l'armée anglaise et un homme politique conservateur qui siège à la Chambre des communes anglaise et britannique de 1685 à 1713. Fils cadet d'une famille éminente des Cornouailles, Trelawny commence sa carrière militaire en 1673, occupant des postes de commandement sous Charles II ; il est également un ami de longue date et un collègue de John Churchill, plus tard duc de Marlborough. Comme beaucoup de conservateurs, il soutient Jacques II en 1685, malgré son catholicisme; sa défection en 1688 illustre la mesure dans laquelle Jacques s'est aliéné sa base de soutien principale. Son frère aîné, Jonathan Trelawny (3e baronnet) est l'un des sept évêques poursuivis pour diffamation séditieuse, dont l'acquittement le 30 juin 1688 a détruit l'autorité politique de Jacques II. Trelawny, Marlborough et Percy Kirke sont les chefs du complot militaire qui provoque le remplacement de Jacques par sa fille protestante Mary et son gendre néerlandais Guillaume III d'Orange-Nassau. Après la Glorieuse Révolution de novembre 1688, Trelawny sert dans la guerre de Williamite en Irlande de 1689 à 1691, avant de démissionner de son poste en 1692. Il reste député et agit comme directeur politique en Cornouailles et Devon au profit son collègue Sidney Godolphin, Lord grand trésorier de 1702 à 1710. Après avoir démissionné du Parlement en 1713, il vit tranquillement chez lui, où il est décédé en 1731. (fr)
