"Richard, the second Lord of Herbert of Chibury, was a cavalier without fear and without reproach, and during his father's lifetime gave eminent proofs of his great courage and loyalty in the service of Charles I. In 1634, Richard Herbert was one of the magistrates of Shropshire, and, when the plague was prevailing there, was the senior magistrate who signed an order for a levy for the relief of poor and infected persons within the town and liberties of Shrewsbury" (p. 405, History of Shrewsbury, vol. ii as referenced on Collections..., p. 136).

"In the year 1639, he had the command of a troop of horse in the expedition against the rebellious Scots; and in the contest of the English Parliament with Charles I, he was a colonel in the king's service, and raised at his own charge a full regiment of foot and a troop of horse. ... It was highly commendable in this loyal soldier, that the defection of his father from the royal cause produced no change in the sincerity or fervour of his attachment to his sovereign, and it was equally honourable to Charles I, that there was no diminution of his love and confidence towards this faithful follower" (Collections..., pp. 137-138).

When Parliament became all powerful Richard Herbert was allowed to compound for his estate and was forced to pay a large fine. Herbert was Governor of Aberystwyth in 1644 and of Newport in 1645, but he took the Negative Oath and on 6 March 1647 "petitioned to compound", with the result that he was fined 1,000 pounds as the price of making his peace with parliament. The demolition of his home at Montgomery Castle in Wales was ordered by Parliament in June of 1649. His houses were plundered and his wife and children were left to wander from place to place a foot (Sources: WikiTree - Richard Herbert, Castles of Wales: Montgomery Castle).
