Howard-Vyse was elected Conservative MP for South Northamptonshire at a by-election in 1846—caused by the resignation of William Ralph Cartwright—and held the seat until 1857 when he was defeated. He later returned to Parliament for Windsor at a by-election in 1863—caused by the death of George William Hope—but lost the seat at the next general election in 1865.[3]
Howard-Vyse was also a Justice of the Peace and a colonel in the Royal Horse Guards.
