KILLIGREW, SIR HENRY (d. 1603)

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 796 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KHA-KRI
KILLIGREW, SIR HENRY (d. 1603) , English diplomatist, belonged to an old Cornish family and became member of
parliament
  for Launceston in 1553. Having lived abroad
' The word dotterel seems properly applicable to a single species only, the Charadrius morinellus of Linnaeus, which, from some of its osteological characters, may be fitly regarded as the type of a distinct genus, Eudromias. Whether any other species agree with it in the peculiarity alluded to is at present uncertain.
2 A single example is said to have been shot near Christchurch, in
Hampshire
 , England, in April 1857 (
Ibis
 , 1862, p. 276).
during the whole or part of Mary's reign, he returned to England Killigrew enjoyed a greater reputation as a wit than as a dramatist. when Elizabeth came to the throne and at once began to serve
the new queen as a diplomatist. He was employed on a mission to Germany, and in conducting negotiations in
Scotland
 , where he had several interviews with Mary Queen of Scots. He was knighted in 1591, and after other diplomatic missions in various parts of Europe he died early in 1603. Many of Sir
Henry
 's letters on public matters are in the Record Office, London, and in the British Museum. His first wife, Catherine (c. 1530-1583), daughter of Sir Anthony Cooke (1504-1576), tutor to Edward VI., was a lady of talent.
Another celebrated member of this family was Sir ROBERT KILLIGREW (c. 1579-1633), who was knighted by James I. in the same year (1603) as his father, Sir William Killigrew. Sir William was an officer in Queen Elizabeth's household and a member of
parliament
 ; he died in November 1622. Sir Robert was a member of all the parliaments between 1603 and his death, but he came more into prominence owing to his alleged connexion with the death of Sir
Thomas
 
Overbury
 . A man of some scientific knowledge, he had been in the habit of supplying powders to Robert Carr,
earl
  of Somerset, but it is not certain that the fatal powder came from the hands of Killigrew. He died early in 1633, leaving five sons, three of whom attained some reputation (see below).
