John Digby, 1st Earl of Bristol : ウィキペディア英語版
John Digby, 1st Earl of Bristol

John Digby, 1st Earl of Bristol (February 1580 – 21 January 1653),〔David L. Smith, ‘Digby, John, first earl of Bristol (1580–1653)’, ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2008.〕 was an English diplomat and a moderate royalist during the English Civil War.
== Early career ==

John Digby was the son of Sir George Digby of Coleshill, Warwickshire, and Abigail, daughter of Sir Arthur Henningham. He was educated at Magdalene College, Cambridge. On his coming to Court, his charm, good looks and diplomatic ability quickly gained him the favour of King James I, who sent him to Madrid as his ambassador to Spain during the early 1610s, and Digby was a leading figure in the unsuccessful Spanish Match, the effort to marry Prince Charles to the Infanta Maria Anna of Spain. Digby was made the scapegoat for the failure of the marriage plan, recalled and ordered to reside on his estates. Charles after his accession offered Digby a return to royal favour if he would admit his blame for the failure of the match : Digby, who was always a stubborn and hot-tempered man, who could be quite terrifying in his anger, refused. Charles, infuriated, impeached him and sent him to the Tower of London; Digby, undaunted, made counter-charges against George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham, the prime royal favourite. Ominously for the King's reputation, the House of Lords decided to hear Digby in his own defence first. His trial never proceeded, although he remained in the Tower until 1628, and the affair seriously damaged the King's reputation as a man of honour.〔Kenyon, J.P. ''Stuart England'' Allen Lane 1978〕
The murder of the Duke of Buckingham in August 1628 caused Digby to reconsider his opposition to the King: like Strafford and others among the Lords he was alarmed at Parliament's increasing radicalism. He offered his services to Charles and was formally reconciled with him. Charles, however, was slow to trust those who had ever opposed him and Digby had little influence at Court in the 1630s.〔Wedgwood, C.V., ''Thomas Wentworth, 1st Earl of Strafford-a revaluation'', Jonathan Cape, 1961〕
