George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham (1592-1628). The 1st Duke of Buckingham was claimed by some to be the lover of King James 1 of England. Despite a very patchy political and military record, he remained at the height of royal favour for the first three years of the reign of Charles 1 until he was assassinated.
