Quem namorou Люси Хей, графиня Карлайл?

Люси Хэй (урожденная Перси), графиня Карлайл (1599 — 5 ноября 1660) (eng. Lucy Hay, Countess of Carlisle, née Percy) была придворной дамой, известной своей красотой и остроумием. Она принимала участие во многих политических интригах во время английской гражданской войны (англ. English Civil War).

В 1626 году назначена камер-фрейлиной королевы Англии Генриетты Марии.

John Pym (20 May 1584 – 8 December 1643) was a politician from Somerset who played a key role in establishing the modern English Parliamentary system. One of the Five Members whose attempted arrest in January 1642 was a major step in sparking the First English Civil War, his use of procedure to outmanoeuvre opponents was unusual for the period. Though this meant he was respected by contemporaries rather than admired, in 1895 historian Goldwin Smith described him as "the greatest member of Parliament that ever lived".

Pym's father died when he was seven months old, and he was raised by his stepfather Sir Anthony Rous, from whom he inherited his Puritan views and deep opposition to Archbishop Laud's reforms. He was also a leading member of the Providence Island Company, which attempted to establish a Puritan colony in Central America.

Described as 'a true revolutionary', he led the opposition to arbitrary rule first under James I, then Charles I. His leadership in the early stages of the war was essential to the Parliamentarian cause, particularly his role in negotiating the Solemn League and Covenant with the Scots Covenanters; his death from cancer in December 1643 was considered a major blow.

Originally buried in Westminster Abbey, after the Stuart Restoration in 1660, his body was dumped in a pit at nearby St Margaret's, Westminster along with those of other Parliamentary leaders. Though his reputation later suffered in comparison to less complex figures like John Hampden and Viscount Falkland, he is now viewed as an astute politician and effective speaker. Many of his ideas were adopted by Patriots during the American Revolution and 19th-century American liberals.

Thomas Wentworth (Londres, 13 de abril de 1593 – Londres, 12 de maio de 1641), primeiro conde de Strafford, estadista inglês.

Administrou por oito anos a Irlanda e foi responsável pela sua pacificação durante a guerra civil inglesa.

O rei Carlos I enviou-lhe um documento afirmando: “Pela palavra de um rei, você não sofrerá perda nem de vida, de honra nem de fortuna”, durante sua estada, preso na Torre de Londres. Pouco depois, porém, a sentença de morte de Wentworth foi assinada pelo mesmo rei, a pedido do mesmo, querendo evitar uma guerra civil iminente, mas o efeito foi contrário.
