  • Notes 
    • Henry became a merchant and consul, based for many years in Turkey. During the Interregnum, he was selected by Charles II (who would flee into exile in 1651), to act as an envoy to the Turkish empire and solicit their support for his cause.
      The official Parliamentarian (Roundhead) ambassador, Sir Thomas Bendishim back to England. The Third English Civil War was raging at this time
      Sir Henry Hyde was imprisoned in the Tower, charged with treason, and tried by a court made up from the House of Commons. The court found him guilty and sentenced him to death. He was beheaded, after kissing the executioner's axe, outside the Old Exchange in Cornhill, London, on 4 March 1650.[1] His remains were interred in Salisbury Cathedral where his epitaph is inscribed on a marble tablet.
