Duke of Buckingham

Before dealing with the fate of the hospital, a further reference must be made to the Queen.

In 1535, the King paid a visit to Thornbury Castle, one of the fine estates of the Duke of Buckingham, whose judicial murder a few years earlier had been mainly determined upon and ruthlessly perpetrated for the sake of cutting off a nobleman, whose royal descent was a standing menace, whilst there were no male heir to the crown, and whose vast possessions aroused the greed of an unscrupulous despot.

Henry was accompanied by his second consort, and they purposed to pay a visit to Bristol, but had to abandon that project through a deadly outbreak of a plague.

The corporation manifested much anxiety to propitiate their formidable sovereign.

But in London, we see another side to the Prince Regent, He was passionate in his patronage of arts and architecture.

And many of his achievements can still be seen today in many of the capital's landmarks, like Regent's Park, and the rebuilding and enhancement of the British Museum, the Tower of London, and Buckingham Palace, which his father had bought from the Duke of Buckingham in 1761. but a new era was ushered in on the 20th of June, 1837, when a young 18-year-old girl was woken at 6 a.m. in Kensington Palace to be told that she had become queen.

Her name was Victoria.

She later married a cousin from Germany, with whom she'd fallen in love as a girl, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.

George Monk, for one, had taken part in the abortive raid on Cadiz in 1625 when Charles I made war on Spain.

He'd also taken part in the disastrous Ilderay expedition of 1628, and that's when the Duke of Buckingham tried to relieve the Huguenots in La Rochelle, and they thought it would be clever to land on the Ilderay first.

Now, these debacles highlighted the need to appoint an overall commander who understood both naval and land warfare, someone with the skill set to manage a combined operation.

Cadiz and the Ildiray had also demonstrated the need to provide adequate logistical support for the landing forces.

This earl had five sons.
