	Henry Sidney, Earl Of Romney - LoveToKnow 1911
		HENRY SIDNEY ROMNEY, EARL OF (1641-1704), fourth son of Robert, 2nd earl of Leicester, was born in Paris in 1641.
		Sidney's handsome face helped his advancement at court, but the favour in which he was held by the duchess of York, to whom he was master of the robes, led to his dismissal in 1666.
		Sidney was sent by Sunderland and others in 1679 on a special mission to urge William of Orange to visit England, a task that he was able to discharge while acting as the official envoy of Charles II.

		Lady Sidney served Elizabeth at court until she caught smallpox nursing the queen; badly scarred by the disease, Lady Sidney spent the rest of her life largely hidden from public sight, yet her wise advice and her family connections were essential to her daughter's social position.
		Mary Sidney Herbert was the niece of Henry Hastings and Katherine Dudley Hastings, Earl and Countess of Huntingdon; of Ambrose Dudley and Anne Russell Dudley, Earl and Countess of Warwick; and of Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, Queen Elizabeth's favorite.

	The Sidney Homepage - Biography of Sir Philip Sidney
		While Sidney was first and foremost a courtier and intended to be a statesman, he was also a "poet", a writer not only of verse but of fiction, and a very talented one.
		Sidney now (1580) left the Court temporarily for a year's stay at Wilton, the country house of his sister Mary and her husband the Earl of Pembroke.
		Sidney's correspondence never mentions "poesy", and it is clear that for him it was secondary to religion and statecraft.

	Sidney, Sir Philip Criticism and Essays
		Born in Kent to aristocratic parents—Sir Henry Sidney, the Lord Deputy of Ireland, and Mary Dudley, sister of the Earl of Leicester—Sidney received the financial, social, and educational privileges of the English nobility and was trained as a statesman.
		Sidney began a major revision of the Arcadia in 1584 and in the following year began work on a verse translation of the psalms, which was later finished by his sister.
		Sidney declares that the purpose of poetry is to instruct and delight.

	The "mannes state" of Philip Sidney
		The report of Sidney's death in the "additament" to the account of Henry Sidney, probably also written by Molyneux, betrays the haste with which Sidney's career as an ambitious "youth" is transformed into "the mannes state" appropriate to aristocratic life-narrative.
		Sidney's lament for the current status of poetry in England turns upon a desired link of his own status as a courtier and poet with the prestige of the landed aristocracy and its traditional vocation, warfare.
		Sidney's political freedom and noble spirit buttress a certain levelling of distinction between Oxford and himself, but it is the possibility of an exchange of honor with an earl, and one in which the superior, Oxford, fails to adequately respond, that enhances Sidney's "natural" superiority.

	Philip Sidney - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In it, Sidney partially nativised the key features of his Italian model, Petrarch: variation of emotion from poem to poem, with the attendant sense of an ongoing, but partly obscure, narrative; the philosophical trappings; the musings on the act of poetic creation itself.
		Sidney’s reverence for the poet as soldier is significant because he himself was a soldier at one time.
		Sidney, as author, enters his work undetected in that the etymology of his name “Philip” is “horse-lover” (Pask 7).

	Querre-Muhau: Sir Philip Sidney and the New World
		Sidney's chief Huguenot meeting was of course with Hubert Languet.(14) His adoption by the older bachelor as a spiritual son marks, one might say, the philosophical turning-point of Sidney's life.
		Sidney's was not a vulgar and foolish gold fever, even at the height of the Frobisher excitement and his own financial troubles; and such persons as Ambrose and Anne Dudley, Sir Henry and Lady Mary Sidney, and Edward Dyer were not exactly frivolous either.
		Sidney, ironically, had come closest to participation in a colony through a scheme devised in part for Catholics - a scheme unthinkable in Du Plessis's France where the Catholics were the power structure, but a logical adaptation for a beleaguered Protestant nation where Catholics were, or were feared to be, the Fifth Column.

	Life of Sir Philip Sidney (1554-1586)
		He was the eldest son of Sir Henry Sidney, Lord Deputy of Ireland, and nephew of Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester.
		Upon his return, Sidney attended the court of Elizabeth I, and was considered "the flower of chivalry." He was also a patron of the arts, actively encouraging such authors as Edward Dyer, Greville, and most importantly, the young poet Edmund Spenser, who dedicated The Shepheardes Calender to him.
		In 1586 Sidney, along with his younger brother Robert Sidney, another poet in this family of poets, took part in a skirmish against the Spanish at Zutphen, and was wounded of a musket shot that shattered his thigh-bone.

	Sir Philip Sidney
		Sir Henry Sidney was already anxious to arrange an advantageous marriage for his son, who was at that time heir to his uncle, the earl of Leicester; and Sir William Cecil agreed to a betrothal with his daughter Anne.
		Sidney was often harassed with debt, and seems to have given no serious thought to the question for some time, but Edward Waterhouse, an agent of Sir Henry Sidney, writing in November 1576, mentions "the treaty between Mr.
		In 1584 he was sent to France to condole with Henri III on the death of his brother, the duke of Anjou, but the king was at Lyons, and unable to receive the embassy.

	Sir Philip Sidney World Bibliography
		His father, Sir Henry Sidney, was a favorite of the young King Edward VI and was--at least at the time of Sidney's birth--extraordinarily wealthy, holding considerable property in his own right and standing as prospective heir to other land-holdings scattered through several counties of England.
		Sidney continued to be revered as a half-legendary national hero, but his works were not widely read.
		In the 1930s, Kenneth Myrick contributed to this change in approach by concentrating on Sidney's self-conscious role as a courtier-poet, and in the 1950s, J.W. Lever further undermined the biographical approach by revealing the many ways in which apparently spontaneous and "sincere" sonnets are actually transformations of conventions established by earlier poets on the Continent.

		Henry was brought up at court as the companion of Prince Edward, afterwards King Edward VI; and he continued to enjoy the favor of the sovereign throughout the reigns of Edward and Mary.
		A second absence of the lord deputy from Ireland, occasioned by the accession of Queen Elizabeth, threw the chief control into Sidney's hands at the outbreak of trouble with Shane O'Neill, and he displayed great skill in temporizing with that redoubtable chieftain until Sussex reluctantly returned to his duties in August 1559.
