Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Lives of the Right Hon. Francis North, Baron Guilford; The Hon. Sir Dudley North; And the Hon. And Rev. Dr. John North, Vol. 2 of 3: Together With the Autobiography of the Author The Honourable Sir Dudley North, knight, was the third surviving son of the second Dudley Lord North Baron of Kirtling. The whole family relation was declared in a preface to the account of his best brother the lord keeper; wherefore it is here omitted. He was born 16th of May 1641; and the christian name of Dudley, as I have heard, came into this family by the means of Dudley Earl of Leicester, who was a godfather at the christening of the first Dudley Lord North, his grandfather. Why or how it happened that this name fell to the share of a younger brother, and not of the eldest son whose name was Charles, may be imagined easier than discovered. It is likely that in the reign of King Charles I., when the eldest was born, Charles was thought more honourable. But accident or commonly the parents´ or godfathers´ fancy determines names; and it may be thought fit that the latter should have something for their money. 2. He was a very forward, lively, and beautiful child, and thereby entitled to be, as he really was, his mother´s favourite: for good women are most pleased when their children, being females, are like themselves or as they fancy they were when young; and the males, as the father was in his tender age according to the ideas they form to themselves.
