 George, Lord Digby, 1612-77
Digby was appointed to the committee for the impeachment of the Earl of Strafford and was a leading advocate of the Triennial Act of February 1641.
However, Digby strongly objected to the bill of attainder by which Strafford was condemned to death and delivered an eloquent speech in protest at its injustice, probably at the instigation of his father and father-in-law.
Digby's defence of Strafford provoked hostility in Parliament and his speech was publicly burnt by the hangman by order of the House of Commons.
