 | | His support for Charles, absolute monarchy, and his persecuting of opposing views led to his beheading in the midst of the English Civil War. |
 | | In 1605, somewhat against his will, he obliged his patron, Charles Blount, 1st Earl of Devon, by performing his marriage service to a divorcée. |
 | | Thanks to patrons who included George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham, and the king himself, he reached the highest position the Church of England had to offer, Archbishop of Canterbury, in 1633. |
