Buckingham, George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham (1592–1628)

English courtier, adviser to James I and later Charles I. After Charles's accession, Buckingham attempted to form a Protestant coalition in Europe, which led to war with France; however, he failed to relieve the Protestants (Huguenots) besieged in La Rochelle in 1627. His policy on the French Protestants was attacked in Parliament, and when about to sail for La Rochelle for a second time, he was assassinated in Portsmouth.

He was introduced to the court of James I in 1614 and soon became his favourite. He failed to cement the marriage of Prince Charles and the Infanta of Spain in 1623, but on returning to England negotiated Charles's alliance with Henrietta Maria, sister of the French king. Earl from 1617, Duke from 1623.
