Sir William Brooke {{post-nominals|country=GBR|KB}} (1598 – 20 September 1643) was an English soldier and politician. He was the Member of Parliament for Rochester, Kent. BiographyHe was the only son of George Brooke and Elizabeth Burgh, and in 1619 would have succeeded his uncle Henry Brooke, 11th Baron Cobham as Baron Cobham, if the barony had not been under attainder,[1] due to his father and uncle's treason by having both participated in the Main Plot against King James I of England, and he was not recognised as a peer.[2] On 1 February 1626, he was invested as a Knight of the Bath. He served as the Member of Parliament for Rochester, Kent from 1628 to 1629.[2] Brooke married twice; his first wife was Pembroke Lennard (daughter of Henry, Lord Dacre)[3]), and his second wife, Penelope Hill. He had surviving issue by both wives. Margaret, Lady Denham (1642–1667), his fourth daughter, was a celebrated beauty who was painted by Peter Lely and was the mistress of the future King James II. Her husband, the poet Sir John Denham, is said to have murdered her in revenge for her infidelity, although her death was almost certainly natural.[4] His two principal residences were Cooling in Kent and Sterborough in Surrey. He died from wounds received at the First Battle of Newbury in the English Civil War. As he had no sons, the barony (subject to attainder) fell into abeyance between his four daughters and co-heirs.[2] References1. ^{{cite book|title=A Genealogical and Heraldic Dictionary of the Peerages of England, Ireland and Scotland, Extinet, Dormant and in Abeyance.
