EDITORS COMMENTS
John Earl Radnor, born as John Robartes in 1606, was a prominent English soldier and statesman of the 17th century. This historical portrait captures Radnor in his later years, with a stern and serious expression, reflecting the weight of responsibility that came with his titles and roles. Radnor's military career began in the service of the Crown during the English Civil War, where he fought for the Royalist cause. He rose to prominence after the Restoration of the Monarchy in 1660, when he was rewarded with the earldom of Radnor and various other titles. As a statesman, Radnor served in several important positions in the English government, including as Lord Privy Seal and Lord Chamberlain. He was known for his loyalty to the monarchy and his ability to navigate the complex political landscape of the time. Radnor's military and political careers were not without controversy, however. He was involved in several disputes and conflicts, including a long-standing feud with the Duke of Monmouth. Despite this, he remained a respected figure in English society and was highly regarded by his contemporaries. This portrait provides a glimpse into the life of a complex and influential figure in English history. John Earl Radnor's legacy continues to be felt today, as a reminder of the important role that soldiers and statesmen played in shaping the course of English history during the tumultuous 17th century.
