Henry Sidney, See also:president of See also:Wales, gave him in 1576 a See also:post connected with the court of the See also:Marches, but he resigned it in 1577 to go to court with Philip Sidney
.
See also:Young Greville became a See also:great favourite with See also:Queen See also:Elizabeth, who treated him with less than her usual caprice, but he was more than once disgraced for leaving the See also:country against her wishes
.
Philip Sidney, Sir See also:Edward See also:Dyer and Greville were members of the "See also:Areopagus," the See also:literary clique which, under the leadership of See also:Gabriel See also:Harvey, supported the introduction of classical metres into English See also:verse
.
Sidney and Greville arranged to See also:sail with Sir See also:Francis See also:Drake in 1585 in his expedition against the See also:Spanish See also:West Indies, but Elizabeth peremptorily forbade Drake to take them with him, and also refused Greville's See also:request to be allowed to join See also:Leicester's See also:army in the See also:Netherlands
.
Philip Sidney, who took See also:part in the See also:campaign, was killed on the 17th of See also:October 1586, and Greville shared with Dyer the See also:legacy of his books, while in his Life of the Renowned Sir Philip Sidney he raised an enduring See also:monument to his friend's memory

.
In 1618 he became See also:commissioner of the See also:treasury, and in 1621 he was raised to the See also:peerage with the See also:title of See also:Baron See also:Brooke, a title which had belonged to the See also:family of his paternal grandmother, Elizabeth See also:Willoughby
.
He received from James I. the See also:- GRANT (from A.-Fr. graunter, O. Fr. greanter for creanter, popular Lat. creantare, for credentare, to entrust, Lat. credere, to believe, trust)

.
Brooke was buried in St See also:Mary's See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

church, Warwick, and on his See also:tomb was inscribed the See also:epitaph he had composed for himself: " Folk Grevill Servant to Queene Elizabeth Conceller to King James Frend to Sir Philip Sidney
.
Trophaeum Peccati."
A rhyming See also:elegy on Brooke, published in Huth's Inedited Poetical Miscellanies, brings charges of extreme penuriousness against him, but of his generous treatment of contemporary writers there is abundant testimony
.
His only See also:works published during his lifetime were four poems, one of which is the elegy on Sidney which appeared in The See also:Phoenix See also:Nest (1593), and the Tragedy of Mustapha
.
A See also:volume of his works appeared in 1633, another of Remains in 1670, and his See also:biography of Sidney in 1652
.
He wrote two tragedies on the Senecan See also:model, Alaham and Mustapha
.
The See also:scene of Alaham is laid in Ormuz
.
The development of the piece fully bears out the gloom of the See also:prologue, in which the See also:ghost of a former king of Ormuz reveals the magnitude of the curse about to descend on the doomed family
.
The theme of Mustapha is borrowed from Madeleine de See also:Scudery's See also:Ibrahim ou l'illustre See also:Bassa, and turns on the ambition of the sultana Rossa
.
The choruses of these plays are really philosophical See also:dissertations, and the connexion with the See also:rest of the See also:drama is often very slight
.
In Mustapha, for instance, the third See also:chorus is a See also:dialogue between Time and Eternity, while the fifth consists of an invective against the evils of superstition, followed by a chorus of priests that does nothing to dispel
the impression of See also:scepticism contained• in the first part
.
He tells us himself that the tragedies were not intended for the See also:stage
.
See also:Charles See also:Lamb says they should rather be called See also:political See also:treatises
.
Of Brooke Lamb says, " He is nine parts Machiavel and See also:Tacitus, for one of See also:Sophocles and See also:Seneca
....
Whether we look into his plays or his most passionate love-poems, we shall find all frozen and made rigid with See also:intellect." He goes on to speak of the obscurity of expression that runs through all Brooke's See also:poetry, an obscurity which is, however, due more to the intensity and subtlety of the thought than to any lack of See also:mere verbal lucidity
.
It is by his biography of Sidney that Fulke Greville is best known
.
The full title expresses the See also:- SCOPE (through Ital. scopo, aim, purpose, intent, from Gr. o'KOaos, mark to shoot at, aim, o ic07reiv, to see, whence the termination in telescope, microscope, &c.)
scope of the See also:work
.
It runs: The Life of the Renowned Sr

.
Together with a short See also:account of the Maximes and Policies used by Queen Elizabeth in her See also:Government
.
He includes some autobiographical See also:matter in what amounts to a See also:treatise on government
.
He had intended to write a See also:history of England under the Tudors, but See also:Robert See also:Cecil refused him See also:access to the necessary See also:state papers
.
Brooke See also:left no sons, and his See also:barony passed to his See also:cousin, Robert Greville (c
.
1608-1643), who thus became 2nd See also:Lord Brooke
.
This nobleman was imprisoned by Charles I. at See also:York in 1639 for refusing to take the See also:oath to fight for the king, and soon became an active member of the See also:parliamentary party; taking part in the See also:Civil War he defeated the Royalists in a skirmish at Kineton in See also:August 1642
.
He was soon given a command in the midland counties, and having seized See also:Lichfield he was killed there on the 2nd of See also:March 1643
.
Brooke, who is eulogized as a friend of See also:toleration by See also:Milton, wrote on philosophical, theological and current political topics
.
In 1746 his descendant, Francis Greville, the 8th baron (1719-1773), was created See also:earl of Warwick, a title still in his family

See also:Grosart edited the See also:complete works of Fulke Greville for the See also:Fuller Worthies Library in 187o, and made a small selection, published in the Elizabethan Library (1894)

Besides the works above mentioned, the volumes include Poems of See also:Monarchy, A Treatise of See also:Religion, A Treatie of Humane Learning, An See also:Inquisition upon Fame and See also:Honour, A Treatie of Warres, Caelica in CX Sonnets, a collection of lyrics in various forms, a See also:letter See also:town " See also:Honourable See also:Lady," a letter to Grevill Varney in See also:France, and a short speech delivered on behalf of Francis See also:- BACON
