A favorite of Elizabeth I of England. Fifth son of John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland (Earl of Warwick). He was sentenced to death by Mary I for supporting Jane Grey in the succession to the throne after the death of Edward VI, but was pardoned and entered Elizabeth's court, where he served as Lord Steward and Privy Councillor before becoming Earl of Leicester in 1564. His tall stature and good looks made him a favorite of the queen, and at one time there were rumors of his marriage. In 1565 he was sent to the Netherlands, but was recalled due to incompetence. On the other hand, he was known as a patron of the arts and literature, but his unprincipled relationship with women sometimes incurred the queen's intense anger.
