- Southampton, Henry Wriothesley, 3rd earl of
-
born Oct. 6, 1573, Cowdray, Sussex, Eng.
died Nov. 10, 1624, Bergen op Zoom, Neth.
Grandson of the 1st earl of
Southampton, he became a favourite of
Elizabeth I. He was a liberal patron of writers, including Thomas Nashe. Shakespeare dedicated two long poems to him (1593, 1594), and he has often been identified as the noble youth addressed in most of Shakespeare's sonnets. He accompanied the 2nd earl of
Essex on expeditions to Cádiz and the Azores (1596, 1597). For supporting the Essex rebellion (1601), he was imprisoned (1601–03); following
James I's accession, he regained his place at court. He became a privy councillor in 1619, but he lost favour by opposing the 1st duke of
Buckingham. He and his son volunteered to fight for the United Provinces against Spain, but, soon after landing in the Netherlands, they both died of fever.
