Helkiah Crooke
Helkiah Crooke (1576-1648), Court physician to King James I of England, is best remembered for his textbook on anatomy, ''Mikrokosmographia, a Description of the Body of Man''.〔Moore, Norman "Helkiah Crooke" ''Dictionary of National Biography 1885-1900'' Vol. 13 p.205〕 He was the first qualified doctor to be appointed Keeper of Royal Bethlem Hospital, but his conduct as Keeper was controversial and he was eventually removed from that office on the grounds of corruption and constant absenteeism.
==Family==
He was born in Great Waldingfield, Suffolk, third son of Thomas Crooke, rector of the parish and later reader at Gray's Inn, and his wife, whose family name was Samuel. His eldest brother Sir Thomas Crooke achieved distinction as the founder of Baltimore, County Cork.〔Ekin, Des ''The Stolen Village- Baltimore and the Barbary Pirates'' O'Brien Press Dublin 2008 p.35〕 Thomas and another brother Samuel Crooke, (also a clergyman) , were like their father inclined to Calvinism; Helkiah on the other hand is said to have leaned towards Roman Catholicism. Sir Thomas in his will of 1629 speaks with obvious affection of "dear Helkiah".〔Waters, Henry Fitz-Gilbert ''Genealogical Gleanings in England'' 1901 Vol.1 p.325〕 The brothers seem to have been rather similar in their characters: both were men of talent and energy, but both were accused of a complete lack of scruple: just as Helkiah was accused of corruption, so Thomas was accused, rightly or wrongly, of enriching his town of Baltimore by the profits of piracy.
