Duke Of Buckingham: George Villiers His Life, Loves and Legacy

George Villiers 1st Duke of Buckingham, His Life, Loves and Legacy. The Duke of Buckingham was a very controversial historical English figure. Handsome and ambitious, he rose with astonishing speed through the ranks of the aristocracy yet, he was generally regarded with suspicion and dislike by the rest of the court. Villiers was the last in a succession of handsome young favourites of the monarchy on whom King James I and Charles I lavished affection and patronage. He also had what can only be described as a very sketchy political and military record. Subsequent events showed that he was a symptom rather than the cause of a malfunctioning English state. 🔴 Subscribe for more great History videos: 🔴 Share this video with a friend: 🔴 Watch next – The Nine Day Queen: ✅ For business inquiries contact me at hrshistoryroadshow@ ✅ Let’s connect: Twitt
