		Robert Dudley had not, apparently, acknowledged his son and James had wanted to reward the Sidney family for their services - they were, perhaps at the height of their political power.
		Robert Dudley was created Earl of Leicester by Queen Elizabeth I in 1564 but he had no direct heirs to inherit the title on his death in 1588.
		Thirty years later the title was bestowed upon his nephew Sir Robert Sidney by King James I. Robert had inherited his uncle's property but not his title and James decided that a claim by Robert Dudley's illegitimate son for the title could not be upheld - perhaps for political reasons.

		But toward the end of her reign, the contest between Burghley and Robert Devereux, earl of Essex, led to an open rebellion against her.

	Robert SIDNEY (1º E. Leicester)
		While Robert Sidney displayed neither the political acumen and administrative ability of his father, nor the youthful energy and creative genius of his elder brother, it would be unfair to maintain that he owed his position at the court of James I only to birth and influence.
		His failure to secure a number of prominent appointments in the 1590s, when he enjoyed the mixed blessing of the Earl of Essex's patronage, seems to have exhausted his ambitions, and though he enjoyed James's favour, he either was not permitted, or, more probably, did not desire to make the move from courtier to statesman.
		His appearance as spokesman for the government at the time of the Essex rebellion in 1601, to try to persuade Essex to surrender since his cause was lost, was not a sudden treacherous act: it simply suggests that, because of their former relationship, his tongue would probably be the most persuasive.

		Robert sat in Parliament for Westminster in 1584 and 1586, and for Hertfordshire from 1589.
		Sir Robert Cecil certainly did not solve all of the problems troubling the Elizabethan era, but as a politician he was a skilled and effective manipulator, abilities that ensured a steady rise to the top.

		Succeeding to the earldom on the death (1576) of his father, he came under the guardianship of Lord Burghley and soon won favor at court.

		In 1599, at his own demand, he was made lord lieutenant of Ireland and sent there with a large force to quell the rebellion of the earl of Tyrone.
