+Dedication+
p. 337 _To the Right Noble Henry Fitzroy._ Second son of Charles II
by Barbara Villiers, Countess of Castlemaine, afterwards Duchess of
Cleveland, was born 20 September, 1663. He married, 1 August, 1672,
Isabella, daughter and heiress of Henry Bennet, Earl of Arlington.
The bride was then only five years old. In September, 1675, Henry
Fitzroy was created Duke of Grafton, and on 30 September, 1680, was
installed by proxy as Knight of the Garter. In 1682 he became
colonel of the first foot guards. He died 9 October, 1690, from a
wound he received under the walls of Cork during Marlborough's
expedition to Ireland. Brave and even reckless to a fault, he is
said to have been the most popular and the ablest of the sons of
Charles II.
