		Robert Sidney, 1st Earl of Leicester (November 19, 1563 – July 13, 1626), second son of Sir Henry Sidney, was a statesman of Elizabethan and Jacobean England.

		Leicester was a man of taste and a patron of literature, whose cultured mode of life at his country seat, Penshurst, was celebrated in verse by Ben Jonson.

	Sir Robert Sidney.
		He was the third child of Sir Henry Sidney, thrice Lord Deputy of Ireland, and nephew of Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester.
		The Sidneys were a poetic family indeed—Robert wrote poetry, Sir Philip Sidney became one of the most famous poets in the court of Elizabeth I, and Mary, later Countess of Pembroke, also became an author in her own right.
		In 1586, Robert was knighted for gallantry on the battlefield of Zutphen, but 10 days later his brother died from wounds received in the selfsame battle.

		Sidney or Sydney, Algernon 1622-1683, republican, second surviving son of Robert Sidney, second earl of Leicester [q.v.], by Dorothy, daughter of Henry Percy, ninth earl of Northumberland, was born in 1622 (COLLINS, Sidney Papers, i.
		Sidney distrusted his Dutch colleagues; the unauthorised return of Montagu and the fleet to England robbed his words of weight; while the ambition of the king of Sweden and the weakness of the king of Denmark were almost insurmountable obstacles to peace.
		Sidney endeavoured to convince Louis XIV, through Barillon, that the establishment of a republic in England would be far less prejudicial to French interests than the elevation of the Prince of Orange to the English throne, and that it was therefore the interest of France to maintain the rights and privileges of the English nation.

		Robert was the fifth child of thirteen, but not all his siblings survived into adulthood, and even of those that did, only Ambrose, Mary and Catherine survived into the reign of Elizabeth I.
		Robert was and remained a close friend of Paget's sons, the younger of whom recalled some twenty years after these events the Duchess of Northumberland's affection for him and Robert's respect for his father.

		Lord deputy of Ireland, the eldest son of Sir William Sidney, a prominent politician and courtier in the reigns of Henry VIII and Edward VI, from both of whom he received extensive grants of land, including the manor of Penshurst in Kent, which became the principal residence of the family.
		Sir Henry Sidney was the ablest statesman charged with the government of Ireland in the 16th century; and the meagre recognition which his unrewarded services received was a conspicuous example of the ingratitude of Elizabeth.
		His eldest son was Sir Philip Sidney, and his second was Robert Sidney, 1st earl of Leicester; his daughter Mary married Henry Herbert, 2nd earl of Pembroke, and by reason of her association with her brother Philip was one of the most celebrated women of her time.

	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.
		In the autumn of 1585 Sidney joined the expedition to the Low Countries led by his uncle, the Earl of Leicester, and with Sir Phillip Sidney among its captains.
		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.

		Like Sidney's Arcadia, which Wroth clearly admired and perhaps imitated (depending on the definition of "imitate," although Jonson's sense of the word fits better than "epigone"), Urania takes love as its main theme and the prose is interspersed with poems, printed at the end as a sonnet-sequence in the first edition.
