Edward Sackville (1591-1652), 4th Earl of Dorset, Lord Chamberlain to the French wife of King Charles I of England, Queen Henrietta Maria. Original copperplate engraving by Michael Vandergucht (1660-1725), after a portrait by Sir Anthony Van Dyck (1599-1641). This engraving was first used in the 1740 edition of 'History of the Rebellion and Civil Wars in England' by Edward Hyde (1609-1674), Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to King Charles I, who was later raised to the peerage as 1st Earl of Clarendon; his history of the English Civil War is frequently referred to as 'Clarendon's Rebellion’. Dorset was appointed Lord Chamberlain to the French wife of King Charles I of England, Queen Henrietta Maria, after killing another earl in a duel, colonial schemes in America, and travels in Europe as an Ambassador. During the English Civil War, Dorset was with King Charles at the Battle of Edgehill in 1642, but he urged the king to make peace with Parliament after the court and Royalist army had moved to Oxford. Following the king's trial and execution in 1649, Dorset was said never to have left his house in Fleet Street, London, until his own death in July 1652. Michael Vandergucht was a Flemish engraver, born in Antwerp, who worked for most of his career in England. Sir Anthony Van Dyck, famous for his portraits of King Charles I, his family and their courtiers, was a Flemish artist who became the leading court painter in England.
