George Digby, 2nd Earl of Bristol
George Digby, 2nd Earl of Bristol (bapt. 5 November 1612 – 20 March 1677)〔 was an English politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1640 until 1641 when he was raised to the House of Lords. He supported the Royalist cause in the English Civil War but his ambition and instability of character caused serious problems to himself and the Kings he served.
==Early life==
Digby was baptized in Madrid, the eldest known son of John Digby, 1st Earl of Bristol and his wife Beatrice Walcott.〔Ronald Hutton, ‘Digby, George, second earl of Bristol (1612–1677)’, ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, May 2009.〕 He is presumed to have been born there shortly before.〔 At the age of twelve he appeared at the bar of the House of Commons and pleaded for his father who was then imprisoned in the Tower of London. His youth, graceful person and well-delivered speech then made a great impression. He was admitted to Magdalen College, Oxford, on 15 August 1626,〔( 'Alumni Oxonienses, 1500-1714: Dabbe-Dirkin', Alumni Oxonienses 1500-1714: Abannan-Kyte (1891), pp. 366-405. Date accessed: 11 June 2011 )〕 where he was a favorite pupil of Peter Heylin. . He spent the following years in study and in travel, from which he returned, according to George William Frederick Villiers, 4th Earl of Clarendon, "the most accomplished person of our nation or perhaps any other nation, and distinguished by a remarkably handsome person". In June 1634 Digby was committed to the Fleet Prison till July for striking Crofts, a gentleman of the court, in Spring Gardens, and possibly his severe treatment and the disfavour shown to his father were the causes of his hostility to the court. He became MA in 1636.〔 In 1638 and 1639 were written the ''Letters between Lord George Digby and Sir Kenelm Digby, Knt. concerning Religion'' (published in 1651), in which Digby attacked Roman Catholicism.
