1536 - 1595 (59 years)Henry Hastings 3rd Earl of Huntingdon (1535 - 1595)
Henry Hastings 3rd Earl of Huntingdon (1535 - 1595) from NPG; Henry Hastings, 3rd Earl of Huntingdon, KG, KB (c. 1535 – 14 December 1595) was an English Puritan nobleman. Educated alongside the future Edward VI, he was briefly imprisoned by Mary I, and later considered by some as a potential successor to Elizabeth I. He hotly opposed the scheme to marry Mary, Queen of Scots, to the Duke of Norfolk, and was entrusted by Elizabeth to see that the Scottish queen did not escape at the time of the threatened uprising in 1569. A portrait of Huntingdon in armour dated 1588 now hangs in the Tower. Huntingdon was responsible for the compilation of an elaborate history of the Hastings family, a manuscript copy of which is now in the British Museum.
