History of Portsmouth – England, celebrities and Events

Like many other events and famous people were born, lived and worked in Portsmouth over the centuries, I thought it a good idea to tell his story and some history of famous people.

Buckingham, George Villiers, 1st Duke of (vil'yurz, bŭk'ing-um) [key], 1592-1628, English courtier and real favorite.
He arrived (1614) the English Court James I was tiring of his favorite, Robert Carr, Earl of Somerset. Villiers was a gentleman of the bedchamber (1615) and, after Somerset's disgrace, rose rapidly, becoming earl of Buckingham (1617), Marquis (1618) and Admiral (1619). In 1620 he married Lady Katherine Manners, daughter of Count Rutland Catholic. At that time, Buckingham controlled distribution of royal patronage, allowing him to grant lucrative monopolies their families. In 1621, Parliament began to investigate abuses of these monopolies, but Buckingham prevented action against himself (but not against his friend, Sir Francis Bacon) by joining in the condemnation of their parents. Buckingham in favor of the proposed marriage of Prince Charles (later Charles I) with the Infanta Maria of Spain In 1623 Charles and went to Madrid. There his arrogance contributed to the final failure of the long marriage negotiations at an impasse. Buckingham, now a duke, returned England, advocating war with Spain, which made him the hero of Parliament. It quickly lost its popularity through negotiation (1624) the marriage of Charles with another Catholic princess, Henrietta Maria, sister of Louis XIII of France. He was also responsible for the disastrous failure (February-March 1625) a English expedition, under Graf von Mansfeld, to recover the Palatinate Frederick the Winter King, Buckingham failed to provide adequately. At that time, Carlos had become king, and Buckingham was more powerful than ever, a fact that enraged Parliament. After the crushing defeat (October 1625) an expedition against Cádiz, Buckingham was accused (1626), and Charles dissolved Parliament to prevent his trial. The following year Buckingham led an expedition (another disaster) to relieve the Huguenots of La Rochelle, and Parliament delivered another protest against him.

While organizing a second campaign, which was stabbed and killed in Portsmouth August 23, 1628 by John Felton, an officer in the army who was wounded in the nearest military adventure. Felton was hanged in November and was buried in Westminster Abbey, Buckingham. His tomb is a Latin inscription translated "The riddle of the world" and was also one of the Royal courtiers honored throughout history.
