No. 63 Old Prince of Condé
So called in the Catalogue, but no evidence to say which Prince of Condé, as they none of them lived to be old.
No. 64 An Ecclesiastic
No. 65 Sir James Thynne
DIED 1670.
Full length. Buff jerkin. Slashed sleeves. Red scarf. Red ribbons at knees and on shoes.
He was the eldest surviving son of Sir Thomas Thynne, by his first wife, the daughter of Lord Audley. He married the Lady Isabella Rich, daughter of the Earl of Holland. An ill-starred union; for even before her marriage the lady bore a sorry reputation, and her subsequent conduct was such, that in 1653 she was legally separated from her husband, having doubtless tried his forbearance too far.
Sir James was a staunch Royalist, and we are told his house of Longleat was plundered by a party of Roundheads in 1643, under the command of Sir Edward Hungerford and Colonel Slade.
The marauders seemed to have turned their attention especially to the contents of the stables and harness-room. Handsome saddles, caparisons, plumes, bits, pleased the fancy of the two officers, while their men made free with the contents of the wardrobes, cellars, larders, and what not. In 1663 Charles II. and his Queen visited Sir James at Longleat.
Dying without children at Richmond, in Surrey, in 1670, he was succeeded by his nephew.
