Duke of Buckingham - Buckingham

Japanese: バッキンガム公 - バッキンガムこう

A favorite of King James I of England. His tyranny led to growing criticism of the king in Parliament, which was an indirect cause of the later Puritan Revolution. He entered the royal court in 1614, won the king's favor, and rose in rank in a short time, becoming a duke in 1623. He accompanied the crown prince Charles (later King I) to Madrid, where he tried to establish a marriage relationship with the Spanish royal family, but failed. He took a hard-line stance against Spain, and under the new king, he attacked Cadiz in 1625 but was defeated, and then failed in an expedition to support Protestants in France. His repeated mismanagement and the increasing cost of war led to growing criticism, especially from Parliament, and he was impeached in 1626 and demanded to be dismissed in 1628, but the king protected him both times by dissolving and proroguing Parliament. He was assassinated in Portsmouth by a former soldier who had a personal grudge.

イングランド国王ジェームズ１世の寵臣。その専横によって議会の国王に対する批判が高まり，のちのピューリタン革命の遠因をつくった。1614年宮廷に入り，国王の寵愛を集め，短期間に爵位をあげて1623年には公爵に昇進。皇太子チャールズ（のちの１世）を伴ってマドリードに赴き，スペイン王家との婚姻関係を打ち立てようとしたが失敗。対スペイン強硬論に転じて新国王のもとで1625年カディスを攻撃して敗れ，ついでフランスの新教徒援助のための遠征にも失敗。この度重なる失政と戦費の増大に議会を中心に批判が高まり，1626年には弾劾され，1628年には解任要求が出されたが，国王はいずれも議会を解散・停会することによってかばった。私怨を抱いた元軍人によってポーツマスで暗殺された。
