  Bulstrode Whitelocke - LoveToKnow 1911
BULSTRODE WHITELOCKE (1605-1675), English lawyer and parliamentarian, eldest son of Sir James Whitelocke, was baptized on the 19th of August 1605, and educated at Merchant Taylors' School and at St John's College, Oxford, where he matriculated on the 8th of December 1620.
Later in the autumn, and perhaps in consequence, Whitelocke was despatched on a mission to Christina, queen of Sweden, to conclude a treaty of alliance and assure the freedom of the Sound.
Accordingly Whitelocke was not excepted from the Act of Indemnity, and after the payment of various sums to the king and others he was allowed to retain the bulk of his property.

Indeed, in general, Whitelocke showed throughout the civil troubles, the moderation which accorded with his training and his disposition; and this quality which, at the restoration, preserved to him the bulk of his fortune, is impressed upon the character and style of his Memorials at large.
Whitelocke, who had tried to anticipate Monck’s fateful march to London by inducing Lambert to attack him, did not attend the Long Parliament on its reassembling, but, after sending the great seal to the Speaker, withdrew into the country, where he survived for many years.

Whitelocke also communicated to her Majesty the Protector's letter to him, and the expression that Whitelocke should assure her Majesty of the Protector's constant and real intentions to settle a firm alliance with the Queen; which, she said, she was also most ready to make with the Protector.
Whitelocke told her it was in her Majesty's power to do it; that he could not stay until the change whereof people discoursed, and that he had her Majesty's promise for his despatch, which he knew she would not break.
Whitelocke read some of his news to the Queen, and the paper which the Protector had caused to be given to her Commissary Bonnele at London; upon which Whitelocke took the boldness a little to paraphrase, and her Majesty was well pleased with it.

and although Sir Bulstrode Whitelocke, as a Parliamentarian commander, was sometimes at Henley during the Civil War, from 1644 Phyllis Court was garrisoned and fortified by the Parliamentarians.
The house acquired by the Whitelockes, demolished in the 18th and 19th centuries, was presumably medieval in origin, but seems to have been extensively remodelled by the Mashams or Mellers in the late 16th or early 17th century.
Bulstrode Whitelocke re-landscaped the grounds in the later 1640s following removal of the earthworks, enlarging and levelling the garden, laying new walks, and building a new barn; there is, however, no evidence for claims that the house was ‘rebuilt’ in 1648 following Civil-War damage.

Whitelocke was the more desirous to get a conclusion of his business while Piementelle was here, because of his great favour with the Queen; which, with her respects to Montecuculi, both great Papists, caused Whitelocke to have the more doubt of her inclinations.
Whitelocke having sent to know if the Queen were at leisure that he might wait upon her, she returned an excuse that she was not well:  she came away sick from the public schools, where she had been to grace the disputations of a young Swedish Baron with her presence.
Whitelocke received letters from England, which were always welcome, especially bringing the good news of the welfare of his relations.  He received very respectful letters from the Earl of Clare, Sir Charles Woolsey, Colonel Sydenham, the Master of the Rolls, Mr.

 English Civil War - And When Did You Last See Your Father
Whitelocke was a lawyer of some note and it is not clear which side he supported but it is clear that his house was ransacked by the Royalists in the first instance and then sometime later by Parliament forces.
It seems that Whitelocke was absent when the Royalists arrived and an assistant of the household removed the two children to his own house and that is where they were 'interviewed' by Sir Thomas Byron, a Cavalier of some rank.
Although the painting portrays a somewhat threatening scene, the eye witness, Whitelocke's assistant, Cooke, stated that no harm befell the children and certainly no harm came to Whitelocke during the course of the war.

The historical importance of the Diary is enormous, partly because Whitelocke's public career spanned the momentous years English Revolution.
Much is said here, for example, about marriage-making, the role of women, and child-rearing (Whitelocke was three times married and had 17 children), about household management, family life, kinship networks, and hospitality.

Reid tells us that, at this time, “the attorney who seems to have had the greatest influence with Cromwell was Bulstrode Whitelocke, a leading barrister and lord commissioner of the treasury” (p.57).
Whitelocke urged Cromwell to embrace not just rule-of-law but the ancient constitution and the good old law.
That swell appears to have abated by the time of the Humble Petition and Advice, making it easier to state the case for monarchy and traditional law in the interest of lawyers.
