  Arthur Annesley, 1st earl of Anglesey - LoveToKnow 1911
In November 1660 by his father's death he had become Viscount Valentia and Baron Mountnorris in the Irish peerage, and on the 20th April 1661 he was created Baron Annesley of Newport Pagnell in Buckinghamshire and earl of Anglesey in the peerage of Great Britain.

Like the rest of Charles's supposed "personal reflections," "Upon the Earle of Strafford's Death" overflows with Biblical allusions, spiritual ruminations, and a not-so-subtle condemnation of the king's enemies in Parliament.
Moreover, despite some seriously negative interpretations of the Earl's character, the historical facts surrounding Thomas Wentworth's execution certainly supply Charles I--and John Gauden--with a prodigious opportunity for verbal attacks and seventeenth-century mud-slinging.
Wentworth was created Earl of Strafford (1640) and was expected to resolve the crisis.
