	Guy Fawkes Night: The Co-Conspirators
		Digby was married to Mary Mulsho (the only daughter and heiress of the wealthy William Mulsho) and the father of two sons...Kenelm and John.
		Digby provided money and management skills to the conspirators, contributing the princely sum of 1500 pounds sterling to the cause, and was to play a major role in the Midland Uprising, although he did not have much of an interest in politics.
		Digby is believed to have been 24 years old at the time of his death and was one of only two conspirators (the other being Ambrose Rookwood) to be lamented by the crowd...possibly due to his youth and earlier popularity.

	Sir Kenelm Digby - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		SIR KENELM DIGBY (1603-1665), English author, diplomatist and naval commander, son of Sir Everard Digby, was born on the 11th of July 1603, and after his father's execution in 1606 resided with his mother at Gayhurst, being brought up apparently as a Roman Catholic.
		Digby, though he possessed for the time a considerable knowledge of natural science, and is said to have been the first to explain the necessity of oxygen to the existence of plants, bears no high place in the history of science.
		Digby's Memoirs are composed in the high-flown fantastic manner then usual when recounting incidents of love and adventure, but the style of his more sober works is excellent.

		He was a pupil of Digby at Cambridge, and wrote in terms of warm appreciation of his master’s abilities and fame and of the new life that he had put into philosophical study in England.
		By his published works, Temple became celebrated on the continent as well as at home as an expositor and defender of Ramist doctrine; and, doubtless, it is owing to his activity that Cambridge acquired a reputation in the early part of the seventeenth century as the leading school of Ramist philosophy.
		That Bacon was acquainted with the works of Digby and Temple is highly probable, though it cannot be conclusively established.

	Gayhurst House & The Gunpowder Plot - Sir Everard Digby
		Everard Digby was the son of Everard Digby of Stoke Dry, Rutland and Maria, daughter of Francis Neale of Keythorpe, Leicestershire.[1] The family had ancient roots: Digby's son Kenelm later commissioned a genealogy which allegedly traced the family's descent from Aelmar, "Anglicus-Saxonus"[2].
		As a wealthy and well-connected young man, Digby soon presented himself at court and was received into the office of gentleman pensioner, although he later claimed, as did Thomas Percy, that he 'tooke the othe belonging to the place of a pencioner and no other'.[3]
		Some however believe that this letter was written while Digby was in the Tower, in a misguided, if not delusional, attempt to redeem himself.[9] The basis for this theory comes from other passages in the letter.

		Digby argues that man is a better swimmer than fish, since men can also swim vertically in the water, and can even transport things while swimming, keeping those things dry above the water.
