Cornwallis Maude, 1st Viscount Hawarden

Cornwallis Maude, 1st Viscount Hawarden (19 September 1729 – 23 August 1803) was an Anglo-Irish peer and politician.[1]

Hawarden was the second son of Sir Robert Maude, 1st Baronet and his wife, Eleanor Cornwallis, daughter of Thomas Cornwallis.[1]

He was further honoured when he was created Viscount Hawarden, also in the Peerage of Ireland, on 5 December 1793.[1]

He had 16 children with three wives.[1]
