[1018]Sir Fulke Greville, lord Brokes, adopted a parke-keeper's sonne his heire, who (I thinke) had but one eie: vide de hoc in Dr. Heylen's Historie of the church of England ... Vide Sir William Davenant's life[1019] in part 1st <i.e. in MS. Aubr. 6>.
Poems, in folio, London, printed....
'The life[1020] of the renowned Sir Philip Sidney, with the true Interest of England, as it then stood in relation to all Forrain Princes: And particularly for suppressing the power of Spain, stated by him. Written by Sir Fulke Grevil, knight, lord Brook, a servant to Queen Elisabeth, and his companion and friend. London, printed for H. Seile, over against St. Dunstan's church, in Fleet-street, M.DC.LII.'
Vide in Sir William Dugdale's Warwickshire his noble castle[1021], and monument with this inscription: 'Here lies the body of Sir Fulke Grevile knight servant to Q. Eliz., counsellor to King James, and friend to Sir Philip Sidney.'
<Robert Greville, second> lord Brookes, was maried to <Catherine Russell> daughter of the earle of Bedford. He was killed at the siege of Lichfield, March the 2d (St. Chad's day, to whom the Church is dedicated) <1642/3> by a minister's sonne, borne deafe and dumbe, out of the church. He was armed cap à pied; only his bever was open. I was then at Trinity College in Oxon. and doe perfectly remember the story.
The lord Brookes, that was killed at Lichfield, printed a booke about Religion, a little before the civill warres, by the same token that in[1022] <a> song on the Lords then, his <character> was:—'Brook is a foole in print.'
