In 1793, shortly after the outbreak of the French Revolutionary Wars, Schomberg married Amelia Brodrick, a parson's daughter from Stradbally, Ireland. The couple would have several children including four surviving sons. Later in the year, Schomberg was made captain of HMS "Vanguard" and early in 1794 moved to HMS "Culloden" with the Channel Fleet under Lord Howe. With this fleet, "Culloden" was engaged at the Glorious First of June, but Schomberg was heavily criticised for not entering the action until late in the day when most of the fighting was over. He was not awarded the medal given to most of the captains at the battle and, like many officers passed over for recognition in the action, suffered a permanent stain on his record. In 1795, Schomberg was appointed to the large frigate HMS "Magnanime" and served off Ireland until 1796 escorting convoys. This was his last sea-going command, his controversial behaviour making him politically undesirable and poor health making him less able serve effectively.
