	George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham (28 August 1592 – 23 August 1628) was a favourite of King James I and VI of England and Scotland, and one of the most rewarded royal courtiers in all history.
		Villiers was knighted in 1615 as a Gentleman of the Bedchamber, and was rapidly advanced through the Peerage: he was created Baron Whaddon and Viscount Villiers in 1616, Earl of Buckingham in 1617, Marquess of Buckingham in 1618 and finally Earl of Coventry and Duke of Buckingham in 1623.
		Buckingham's daughter, Lady Mary Villiers, was the wife of the Royalist 1st Duke of Richmond.

	Foundation Breeders: Helmsley
		George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham (1592-1628), was the second son of Sir George Villiers of Brooksby in Leicestershire, of solid gentry stock, "...rather without obscurity than with any great lustre." He had acquired exceptional skills in horsemanship from continental travel.
		After George Villiers' assassination in 1628 his son, the younger George Villiers (1628-1687), 2nd Duke of Buckingham, was brought up with the Royal family and so was on intimate terms with the Prince of Wales, later Charles II.
		Villiers was a member of the Cabal Government under Charles II, but his increasingly wild behaviour led to a final rift with the King, and he retreated to the Helmsley estate in 1686, living in the castle, which was barely habitable after the ravages of the Civil War.

		But another George, George Villiers, entering his fifth decade in the late 1670s, was, indeed, a pitiful spectacle of a deteriorating and disgraced aristocrat, said to be worn to a thread from whoring.
		George Villiers, as many of his contemporaries, was a shrewdly collaborative writer.
		Consider, e.g., the rather broadly recorded role of Mary Villiers in Charles II's intrigue to seduce Frances ('La Belle') Stuart, the court Duchess of Richmond (thus, Frances is "Marina", the younger version of Mary Villiers, the dowager Duchess of Richmond).
