Charles Morgan Robinson Morgan, 1st Baron Tredegar (10 April 1792 – 16 April 1875), known as Sir Charles Morgan Robinson Morgan, 3rd Baronet from 1846 to 1859, was a Welsh Whig peer and a member of the House of Lords.
His maternal grandfather was Capt. George Stoney of the Royal Navy.[8] His paternal grandparents were Sir Charles Morgan, 1st Baronet (originally Charles Gould) and the former Jane Morgan (daughter of Judge Advocate Thomas Morgan).[9] His great aunt Jane married the industrialist Samuel Homfray.[10]
He was first elected Member of Parliament (MP) for Brecon in 1812 and was re-elected in 1830 and 1835. Upon his father's death in 1846, he succeeded the baronetcy of Tredegar, created for his grandfather in 1800.[12]
In late 1827, Morgan married Rosamund Mundy, the daughter of Maj.-Gen. Godfrey Basil Meynell Mundy and Sarah Brydges Rodney. Together, they lived at Tredegar House, where he was a noted breeder of shorthorn cattle,[16] and had five sons and six daughters, including:[15]
Lord Tredegar died on 16 April 1875 and was succeeded by his second son Godfrey as his eldest son, Charles, predeceased him unmarried and without legitimate male issue.[15]
