Charles Calvert (1637-1715), third Lord
Baltimore, was the object of Maryland's
revolution in government in 1689. His
father, Cecil Calvert, sent him to
Maryland to be its governor in 1661; he
lived here until 1684. He became the
third Lord Baltimore after his father's
death in 1675. Charles Calvert was the
only one of the Lords Baltimore to live
in Maryland, although his grandson,
the fifth Lord, also named Charles
Calvert, visited here in 1732-33. Portrait
