He inherited the Barony on the death of his father on 28 March 1641. On the outbreak of the English Civil War Mohun left Westminster and retired to his house in Cornwall. He eventually took up arms for the Royalist cause in September 1642 and raised a regiment of foot in his own area in spite of his unpopularity there.
