In 1660, Mansel was elected [Member of Parliament](/source/Member_of_Parliament) for [Glamorgan](/source/Glamorgan_(UK_Parliament_constituency)) in the [Convention Parliament](/source/Convention_Parliament_(1660)).

His daughter Martha married Thomas Morgan of Tredegar, which marriage and its after-effects caused the baronet much trouble because Thomas Morgan was reluctant to return from a tour on the continent of Europe.<ref name=WBO/> His daughter Elizabeth married [Sir Edward Stradling, 5th Baronet](/source/Sir_Edward_Stradling%2C_5th_Baronet).<ref name=Burke/>
