ROBERT, lord Brooke; in Ricraft's "Survey." There is a portrait of him at Warwick Castle, in a breast-plate, under which is seen his buff coat. 9 Jan. 1620. Lord Brooke was one of those patriots who so ardently longed Created for liberty, that he was determined to seek it in America, if he could not find it at home. He, and Lord Say, had actually agreed to transport themselves to New England; but the sudden turn of affairs prevented their voyage. Having reduced Warwickshire to the obedience of the parliament, he advanced into Staffordshire. On the festival of St. Chad, to whom the cathedral of Lichfield is dedicated, he ordered his men to storm the adjoining close, whither Lord Chesterfield had retired with a body of the king's forces. But before his orders could be put in execution, he received a musket shot in the eye, by the hand of a common soldier, of which he instantly died. It was the opinion of some of the royalists, and especially of the Roman Catholics, that the bullet was directed by St. Chad. It is observable, that the same man who was by one party looked upon as a monument of divine vengeance, was by the other reverenced as a saint. Baxter has placed him in heaven, together with White, Pym, and Hamden.+ Ob. 1643. WILLIAM, lord Craven, baron of Hamstead Created Marshall, &c. whole length. Stent; h. sh.

It is hard to say whether his person, his understanding, or his courage, was the most extraordinary; as the fair, the learned, and the brave, held him in equal admiration. But the same man was wise and capricious; redressed wrongs, and quarrelled for punctilios; hated bigotry in religion, and was himself a bigot to philosophy. He exposed himself to such dangers, as other men of courage would have carefully declined; and called in question the fundamentals of a religion which none had the hardiness to dispute besides himself.

He behaved upon the scaffold with all the dignity of conscious virtue, and met death with the same intrepidity with which he had been accustomed to face the enemy. Beheaded the 9th of March, 1648-9. THOMAS ARUNDELL, second lord Arundell of Wardour, and count of the sacred Roman empire, died at Oxford 1643, in consequence of the wounds he received at the battle of Lansdowne; engraved by R. Cooper, from a miniature in the possession of the Right Honourable Lord Arundell. Private plate. Thomas, second lord Arundell, of Wardour, succeeded his father, the first lord, in 1639, and attaching himself to the royal cause, raised at his own expense, a regiment of horse for the service of King Charles I. Being in the battle of Lansdowne, fighting for the king, he was shot in the thigh by a brace of pistol bullets, and died of his wounds in his majesty's garrison at Oxford, the 19th of May, 1643, in the 59th year of his age, and was buried with great funeral pomp at Tisbury. During the civil wars, this nobleman spent best part of his fortune in support of the crown; and his lady, Blanch, fifth daughter of Edward Somerset, earl of Worcester, during the absence of her husband, bravely defended Wardour, with a courage above her sex, for nine days, with a few men against the parliament's forces, under the command of Sir Edward Hungerford, and Lieut. Col. Ludlow, and then delivered it up on honourable terms, which they broke; but were soon dislodged by the resolution of this Lord Arundell, who, at his return, ordered a mine to be sprung under his own castle, and thus sacrificed that noble structure to his loyalty. At Wardour Castle are still preserved several cannon-balls, of seven and nine pounds each, which were discharged against the castle when attempted to be taken by storm. SCOTCH NOBILITY.
