About the Item

English School 17th Century "Portrait of George Villiers Duke of Buckingham" Oil on canvas 66X53 cm size without frame George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham (Brooksby, 28 August 1592 – Portsmouth, 23 August 1628), was an English nobleman and politician, favourite of James I Stuart, as well as de facto leader of the State in the last years of the reign of James, his great protector, and in the first of his son and successor Charles I Stuart. It is believed that the disastrous conduct of English politics during his years in power laid the foundations for the outbreak of the subsequent civil war. The favour he enjoyed with James I was in reality based on a love affair: the king himself defined himself as "father and husband" of George Villiers. George Villiers was the son of Sir George Villiers, belonging to the decadent gentry, and Mary, daughter of Anthony Beaumont of Glenfield. At a young age he was sent to France to be educated for court life. Under James I Stuart he made his ascent that led him to become in a few years first Lord Admiral (1619), then Viscount, Earl, Marquis and finally in 1623 Duke of Buckingham. On 16 August 1620 he married Katherine Manners, daughter of Francis Manners, VI Earl of Rutland, later suo jure Baroness de Ros. In 1623 he worked to establish an alliance with Spain, promoting the marriage between the Infanta of Spain Maria Anna, daughter of Philip III, and Prince Charles, whom he accompanied for this purpose to Madrid. In 1625 he concluded a triple alliance with Denmark and the Netherlands. In May 1626, after a disastrous operation conducted against the Spanish in Cadiz, Parliament attempted to vote no confidence in him. The king, in order to prevent the expulsion of his protégé, dissolved the chamber in June. The Star Chamber also rejected the parliament's dispute. In 1627, when war broke out with France, he commanded a naval and land expedition in support of the Huguenots of La Rochelle, but after a four-month campaign he was defeated. Upon his return to England, Parliament tried to push the sovereign to remove the duke, but the sovereign intervened again in his favor. The acceptance of the Petition of Rights of 1628 led to the condemnation of Buckingham's excessive power and to the blaming of England's failures of recent years on him. George Villiers with his wife Katherine Manners and children Mary and George George Villiers was assassinated on 23 August 1628 by the Protestant John Felton, a fanatical sailor convinced that the death of the Duke of Buckingham would serve the good of the country. He left a son, who was his heir, George. His monumental tomb is in Westminster Abbey.
