A professional soldier, who had fought at Blenheim, Ramillies and Malplaquet, Windsor represented Bramber as a Tory on the interest of his elder brother, Lord Windsor, under Queen Anne. Narrowly defeated in 1715 for Monmouth on the Duke of Beaufort’s interest, he was one of the Tory officers who were dismissed on the outbreak of the rebellion that year. Returned unopposed for Monmouth at a by-election in 1720, he once more contested Bramber in 1722 but was unsuccessful. He did not stand again, dying about November 1765.Lond.
