singular courage in all his enterprizes of danger, was unfortunately wounded with many hurts on the head and body, with swords and poll-axes, of which within two or three days he died." The day of his death was the third of April, 1643, and his remains were interred at Monk's Kirby, in Leicestershire.

This nobleman's consort, of whom Sir Henry Wotton, in his sketch of the life of her brother, the Duke of Buckingham, says that "she was a very accomplished lady, adorned with every virtue ornamental to her sex," has already been mentioned. Their issue was Basil, second Earl of Denbigh, a man of considerable talents, whom some perverseness of character or of circumstances had induced to an obstinate adherence to the rebel cause, and more than once to face his father in the field; George, who was created Earl of Desmond, &c. in Ireland, and whose eldest son, William, succeeded to the titles of his uncle, Basil, and was ancestor to the present Earl of Denbigh; and Philip, who died in 1627, without issue. They had also four daughters; Mary, married to James, first Duke of Hamilton; Anne, to Baptist Noel, eldest son and successor to Edward, first Viscount Campden; Elizabeth, wife of Lewis Boyle, Viscount Kynelmeaky, in Ireland, second son of Richard, first Earl of Cork, and created by Charles the second, in 1660, Countess of Guildford for her life; and Henrietta Maria, who died in childhood.
