MONMOUTH, ROBERT CAREY, 1ST EARL OF (c. 1560-1639)

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 727 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOL-MOS
MONMOUTH, ROBERT CAREY, 1ST EARL OF (c. 1560-1639) , youngest son of
Henry
  Carey, 1st Baron Hunsdon, chamberlain and first
cousin
  of Queen Elizabeth, by Anne, daughter bf Sir
Thomas
  Morgan, of Arkestone in Herefordshire, was born about the year 156o. As a
young
  man he accompanied several diplomatic missions abroad and took part in military expeditions. In 1587 he joined in the attempt to relieve Sluys, in 1588 served as a volunteer against the Spanish expedition, and commanded a regiment in Essex's expedition to Normandy in 1591, taking part in the siege of Rouen. He was knighted by Essex the same year for having by his intercession with the queen procured his recall. In the parliaments of 1586 and 1588 he represented Morpeth; in that of 1593, Callington; and in those of 1596 and 16oi, Northumberland. From 1593 till the end of Elizabeth's reign he occupied various posts in the government of the Scottish borders, succeeding to his father's appointment of lord warden of the marches in 1596, which he held till February 1598. In March 1603 he visited the court, and witnessed the queen's last illness, which he described in his Memoirs. Anxious to recommend himself to her successor, and disobeying the orders of the council, he started on horseback immediately after the queen's death on the morning of the 24th of March, in order to be the first to communicate the tidings to James, arrived at Holy-rood
late
  on the 26th, and was appointed by the king a
gentleman
  of the bedchamber. But his conduct met with general and merited censure as " contrary to all decency, good manners and respect," and on'James's arrival in England he was dismissed from his new post. On the 23rd of February 16o5, however, he was made
governor
  of Prince Charles, in 1611 his master of the robes, in 1617 his chamberlain, and on the 6th of February 1622, he was created Baron Carey of Leppington. In 1623 he followed Charles to Spain, and after the latter's succession to the throne he was created
earl
  of Monmouth in 1626. He died on the 12th of April 1639. His eldest son
HENRY
  (1596-1661), succeeded him as 2nd
earl
  of Monmouth, and on his death without surviving male issue the peerage became extinct.
His Memoirs were published first by the earl of Cork and
Orrery
  in 1759, a new edition, annotated by Sir Walter Scott, being printed in 18o8.
