  John Wilmot, 2nd earl of Rochester - LoveToKnow 1911   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
JOHN WILMOT ROCHESTER, 2ND Earl Of (1647-1680), English poet and wit, was the son of Henry Wilmot, 1st earl.
Wilmot was on bad terms with some of the king's friends and advisers, including Prince Rupert, and in 1644 he is reported to have said that Charles was afraid of peace and to have advised his supercession by his son, the prince of Wales.
Rochester chose to pretend that this was Dryden's work, not Mulgrave's, and by his orders a band of roughs set on the poet in Rose Alley, Covent Garden, and beat him.

The Rochester who cavorted with Charles on the Continent was Henry Wilmot, the 1st Earl of Rochester, John's father, who saved Charles's life when he was forced to flee England.
To attribute "The Rehearsal" to Rochester is inexplicable.
Not knowing the difference between Henry Wilmot and John Wilmot suggests that the author is not really familiar with the life of Charles II, and, if he's not familiar with the life of Charles II, he cannot possibly have anything worthwhile to contribute to our knowledge about the life of Nell Gwyn.

There is no trace in the Scottish archives of Alexander Wilmot's birth, nor of that of his sister Caroline Louisa who was born about 1838; but strangely enough in that year there is a record in the Catholic archives of the baptism of a Caroline Louisa daughter of Caroline Kennedy and John Muir.
The first appearance of the Wilmots in official records is the 1851 census when Caroline Wilmot, described as a widow and annuitant was living with her son Alexander (14) and daughter Caroline (12) at 4, Houston St Glasgow.

The idea that Charles II would expect Rochester to do a 180 and write something wonderful for him, and not even read it or view it before using it for to entertain the visiting French ambassador, well, that's beyond absurd.
The film conerns itself almost solely with Rochester's general cynicism and his hostility toward the monarchy, but never ventures an explanation for his malais (he was probably suffering PTSD from his experiences, at age 17, in three disastrous battles in the Royal Navy during the Dutch Wars).
Saddest of all, the film misses the heart of the man, a man who was the greatest wit and lover of his age, a man who relished life and lived it to the fullest, but who also recognized the absurdity of the idea that man is a "rational animal." Disappointing film.
