A British soldier and the last favorite of Queen Elizabeth. Despite his secret affair with Sir Philip Sidney's widow, he rapidly rose to prominence at court in the 1590s, consistently taking a hard-line stance against Spain, and leading the Spanish expedition to Cadiz. He was later promoted to Privy Councillor and Lord Constable, which led to growing criticism of his tyranny, which also led to criticism of the Queen. In 1599, after his failure to govern as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, he returned home without permission to explain his failure, and was stripped of his office and title. In 1601, he organized a rebellion, but it failed, and he was beheaded in the Tower of London. He was also known as a patron of the English Renaissance, which was gaining popularity at the time.

英国の軍人,エリザベス女王最後の寵臣。サー・フィリップ・シドニーの未亡人と密かに情を通じていたにもかかわらず,1590年代の宮廷において急速に台頭し,一貫して対スペイン強硬論の立場を主張し,スペインのカディスへの遠征を指揮し,以後,枢密顧問官,警備長官へと昇進したため,その専横ぶりに対する批判も高まり,それが女王への批判ともなった。1599年アイルランド総督としての統治がうまくいかず,その弁明を行うために無断で帰国したかどで,官職と爵位を剥奪された。1601年反乱を組織したが失敗して,ロンドン塔で斬首された。彼は当時隆盛しつつあった英国ルネサンスの文芸のパトロンとしても著名であった。
