Charles Gerard, 1st Earl of Macclesfield
Charles Gerard, 1st Earl of Macclesfield PC (ca. 1618 – 7 January 1694) was an English aristocrat, soldier and courtier.
==Early life==
The eldest son of Sir Charles Gerard, he was a member of an old Lancashire family, his great-grandfather having been Sir Gilbert Gerard (died 1593) of Ince, in that county, one of the most distinguished judges in the reign of Elizabeth I. His mother was Penelope Fitton, sister and heiress of Sir Edward Fitton of Gawsworth Hall, Cheshire.〔Gerard' claim to Gawsworth as heir of his uncle Sir Edward Fitton (died 1643) involved him in a bitter 20 year dispute with his Irish cousins William Fitton and William's son Alexander (later Lord Chancellor of Ireland) but was eventually successful.〕
Nothing is known about Gerard's education until he entered Leyden University 23 March 1633. He was also educated in France under John Goffe of Magdalen College, Oxford, brother of Stephen Goffe.〔 cites Peacock, ''Leyden Students'', p. 40; ''Athenæ Oxon''., ed. Bliss, iii. 525; ''Cal. State Papers'', Dom. 1633–4, p. 280.〕 Dugdale states that he was "trained in the discipline of war from his youth in the United Provinces", and that on the outbreak of the First English Civil War he joined the King at Shrewsbury, and raised a troop of horse at his own charge.〔 cites ''Baronage'', ii. 41.〕
