.
He was probably descended from the old baronial See also:house of See also:Sutton See also:alias Dudley; but his See also:father's See also:- ATTAINDER (from the O. Fr. ataindre, ateindre, to attain, i.e. to strike, accuse, condemn; Lat. attingere, tangere, to touch; the meaning has been greatly affected by the confusion with Fr. taindre, teindre, to taint, stain, Lat. tingere, to dye)
attainder and See also:execution
in 1509 clouded his prospects
.
His See also:mother, however, married as her second See also:husband in 1511 See also:Arthur See also:Plantagenet, the illegitimate son of Edward IV., who in 1523 was created Viscount Lisle in his wife's right; and Lisle's rise in Henry VIII.'s favour brought See also:young Dudley into prominence
.
In 1512 he was restored in See also:blood and in 1538 he was made See also:deputy to his step-father, who was See also:governor of See also:Calais, and he does not appear to have suffered by Lisle's temporary disgrace and imprisonment in the See also:Tower
.
Lisle died See also:early in 1542 and Dudley was created Viscount Lisle on the 12th of See also:March and was made See also:warden of the Scottish See also:marches in See also:November, and See also:lord high See also:admiral of See also:England in 1543 in See also:succession to his future See also:rival, Edward See also:Seymour, See also:earl of See also:Hertford
.
He was also created a See also:knight of the garter and sworn of the privy See also:council on the 23rd of See also:April 1543
.
In 1544 he accompanied Hertford to the See also:capture and burning of See also:Edinburgh
.
On the capture of See also:Boulogne in See also:September Lisle was given command of the See also:town and of the Boulonnais; in 1J45 he directed the operations of the See also:fleet in the See also:Solent which foiled the See also:French attack on See also:Portsmouth and the Isle of See also:Wight; and he was sent to See also:Paris to ratify the See also:peace concluded in 1546
.
Lisle had thrown in his See also:lot with the reforming party, and he took an active See also:share in the struggle at Henry VIIL's See also:court for See also:control of affairs when Henry should See also:die
.
Hertford and he were described by the See also:Spanish See also:ambassador as holding the highest places in Henry VIII.'s affections and as being the only noblemen of See also:fit See also:age and ability to carry on the See also:government
.
'fhe Howards were infuriated by the prospect, and See also:Surrey's hasty See also:temper ruined their prospects
.
Lisle quarrelled bitterly with See also:Bishop See also:Gardiner, served as See also:commissioner at Surrey's trial, and was nominated one of the See also:body of executors to Henry's will from which See also:Norfolk and Gardiner were excluded
.
On Henry's See also:death Lisle was raised to the earldom of See also:Warwick and promoted to be lord See also:great See also:- CHAMBERLAIN (0. Fr. chamberlain, chamberlenc, Mod. Fr. chambellan, from O. H. Ger. Chamarling, Chamarlinc, whence also the Med. Lat. cambellanus, camerlingus, camerlengus; Ital. camerlingo; Span. camerlengo, compounded of 0. H. Ger.

chamberlain of England, again in succession to Hertford, who became duke of See also:Somerset and See also:Protector
.
But he was not See also:long content with Somerset's superiority, though he concealed his resentment and ambition for the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

.
He accompanied Somerset on his Pinkie See also:campaign, and materially contributed to the winning of that victory
.
Nor did he exhibit any sympathy with the intrigues of the Protector's brother, See also:- THOMAS

Thomas Seymour, the lord high admiral; his subtler policy was to exasperate the See also:brothers and thus weaken the See also:influence of the house of Seymour
.
He took a leading See also:part in the proceedings which brought the admiral to the See also:block in riarch 1549; and then used the Protector's social policy to bring about his deposition
.
Warwick, like most of the privy council, detested Somerset's ideas of See also:liberty and his championship of the peasantry against the See also:inclosure See also:movement; one of his own parks was ploughed up as a result of a See also:commission of inquiry which Somerset appointed; and when the peasants rebelled under Kett, Warwick gladly took the command against them
.
His victory at Dussindale made him the See also:hero of the landed gentry, and as soon as he had returned to See also:London in September 1549, he organized the See also:general discontent with the Protector's policy into a See also:conspiracy
.
He played upon the prejudices of Protestants and Catholics alike, holding out to one the prospect of more vigorous reform and to the other hopes of a See also:Catholic restoration, and to all gentry the promise of revenge upon the peasants
.
The See also:coalition thus created effected Somerset's deposition and imprisonment in See also:October 1549; and the See also:parliament which met in November carried See also:measures of See also:political See also:coercion and social reaction
.
But the coalition split upon the religious question
.
Warwick threw over the Catholics and expelled them from See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office and from the privy council, and the hopes they entertained were rudely dashed to the ground
.
But it was difficult to combine coercion of the Catholics with the proscription of Somerset; the duke was therefore released early in 155o and restored to the privy council; and his daughter was married to Warwick's son
.
Warwick himself assumed no position of superiority over his colleagues, and he was never made protector
.
But he gradually packed the council with his supporters, andexcluded his enemies from office and from See also:access to the See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)

His See also:plan was to dominate Edward's mind, and then See also:release him from the trammels of royal minority
.
He abandoned the Tudor designs on See also:Scotland, and made a peace with See also:France in 1550 by which it recovered Boulogne and was See also:left See also:free to pursue its See also:advantage in Scotland
.
Nor did the See also:betrothal of Edward to Henry's daughter Elizabeth prevent the French king from intriguing to undermine See also:English influence in See also:Ireland
.
In domestic affairs See also:War,. ick pushed on the See also:Reformation with none of the moderation shown by Somerset; and the difference between the two policies is illustrated by the See also:change effected between the first and second Books of See also:Common See also:Prayer
.
War-See also:wick, however, was widely distrusted; and the more arbitrary his government See also:grew, the more dangerous became Somerset's rivalry
.
A See also:parliamentary movement had early been started for Somerset's restoration
.
Warwick therefore kept parliament from See also:- MEETING (from " to meet," to come together, assemble, 0. Eng. metals ; cf. Du. moeten, Swed. mota, Goth. gamotjan, &c., derivatives of the Teut. word for a meeting, seen in O. Eng. Wit, moot, an assembly of the people; cf. witanagemot)
meeting, and the consequent lack of supplies drove him into the seizure of 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

.
At length he resolved to get rid of his opponent; his opposition was magnified into conspiracy, and in October 1551, after Warwick had made himself duke of See also:Northumberland and his ally See also:Dorset, duke of See also:Suffolk, and had scattered other rewards among his humbler followers, Somerset was arrested, condemned by the peers on a See also:charge of See also:- FELONY (0. Fr. felonie, from felon, a word meaning " wicked," common to Romanic languages, cf. Italian fella, fellone, the ultimate origin of which is obscure, but is possibly connected either with Lat. fel, gall, or fallere, to deceive. The English " fel
felony, and executed on the 22nd of See also:January 1552
.
Parliament was permitted to meet on the following See also:day, but for the next eighteen months Northumberland grew more and more unpopular
.
He saw that his See also:life was safe only so long as he controlled the government and prevented the See also:administration of See also:justice
.
But Edward VI. was slowly dying, and Northumberland's See also:plot to alter the succession was his last desperate bid for life and See also:power
.
Its folly was almost delirious
.
Edward had no legal authority to exclude See also:Mary, and the nation was at least nine-tenths in her favour
.
Northumberland bullied the council and overawed London for a few days; but the See also:rest of England was in an uproar, and as he rode out to take the See also:- FIELD (a word common to many West German languages, cf. Ger. Feld, Dutch veld, possibly cognate with O.E. f olde, the earth, and ultimately with root of the Gr. irAaror, broad)

field against Mary, not a soul cried " See also:God See also:speed." A few days later he re-turned as Mary's prisoner
.
He was tried for See also:treason, professed himself a Catholic in the delusive See also:hope of See also:pardon, and was executed on the 22nd of See also:August
.
He was a competent soldier and one of the subtlest intriguers in English See also:history; but he had no principles
.
He was, says a contemporary French See also:account, " de See also:parole affable, se composant a gracieusite et doulceur, mais au dedans felon, orgueilieux, vindicatif s'il en fut jamais." The violence of his See also:rule and of his pretended Protestantism was largely responsible for the reaction of Mary's reign
.
His best-known son was See also:Robert Dudley, earl of See also:Leicester, See also:Queen Elizabeth's favourite
