  Henry Bennet, 1st Earl of Arlington: Definition and Links by Encyclopedian.com
In 1663 he obtained a peerage as Baron Arlington of Arlington, or Harlington, in Middlesex, and in 1667 was appointed one of the postmasters-general.
Another object of jealousy to Arlington was Sir William Temple[?], who achieved a great popular success in 1668 by the conclusion of the Triple Alliance; Arlington endeavoured to procure his removal to Madrid, and entered with alacrity into Charles's plans for destroying the whole policy embodied in the treaty, and for making terms with France.
But Arlington's support of the court policy was entirely subordinate to personal interests; and after the appointment of Clifford in November 1672 to the treasurership, his jealousy and mortification, together with his alarm at the violent opposition aroused in parliament, caused him to veer over to the other side.

 Baron Arlington - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baron Arlington is a title in the Peerage of England.
The dukedom passed to a cousin, while all of the Arlington titles fell into abeyance between his two sisters, neither of whom petitioned the Sovereign to terminate the abeyance.
After the death of the elder sister, her elder daughter Jennifer did petition the Crown, and the abeyance of the barony of Arlington created in 1664 was terminated in her favour.

 Arlington Park
Arlington announced that thoroughbred racing would have a million-dollar turf race, ideally placed in the summer so that European horses would be attracted to it before their year-end championship events in the fall.
Three years later, while Arlington was being rebuilt, the race was moved to Woodbine Race Course, near Toronto, Canada, underscoring yet again the race's international flavor.
But Arlington officials' swift and decisive action, which curbed the spread of the disease and established an industry-wide standard for dealing with the epidemic, saved the race and encouraged the participation of archrival turf stars Lure and Star of Cozzene.

 Pepys' Diary: Bennet, Sir Henry (Baron Arlington, Secretary of State)
Arlington had a particular love and interest in Spain, having begun his career on a diplomatic mission there in 1657.
With his rich dress, like that of a Spanish grandee, his air of formality described as "his Castilian bearing", a strange piece of sticking-plaster across his nose (relic of a war wound), Arlington was something of an outward oddity in the Court of King Charles.
Henry Bennet, Earl of Arlington, principal secretary of state, and lord-chamberlain to King Charles II.: a nobleman whose practices, during that reign, have not left his character free from reproach.
