  • Notes 
    • Baron Spencer of Wormleighton; 1st Earl of Sunderland
      Attended Oxford, married Dorothy Sidney - the poet Edmund Waller's infatuation, 'Sacharissa' - and joined her parents in Paris. On his return, more from loyalty than conviction he aligned himself with the Royalist forces in the Civil War. He fought at Edgehill and later lent Charles I £10,000. He was created Earl of Sunderland, in June 1643. Three months later he was fatally wounded at Newbury. Later in the war Wormleighton, where he had entertained Prince Rupert, was burnt down by Royalist troops to prevent it becoming a rebel garrison.
