See also:EDWARD See also:SOMERSET , 2nd See also:marquess of See also:Worcester (1601–1667), is better known by the See also:title of See also:earl of Glamorgan, this earldom having been conferred upon him, although somewhat irregularly, by See also:Charles I. in 1644. He became very prominent in 1644 and 1645 in connexion with Charles's See also:- SCHEME (Lat. schema, Gr. oxfjya, figure, form, from the root axe, seen in exeiv, to have, hold, to be of such shape, form, &c.)
scheme for obtaining military help from See also:Ireland and abroad, and in 1645 he signed at See also:Kilkenny, on behalf of Charles, a treaty with the Irish See also:Roman Catholics; but the See also:- KING

king was obliged by the opposition of See also:Ormonde and the Irish See also:loyalists to repudiate his See also:action. Under the See also:Common-See also:wealth he was formally banished from See also:England and his estates were seized. At the Restoration his estates were restored, and he claimed the dukedom of Somerset promised to him by Charles I., but he did not obtain this, nor was his earldom of Glamorgan recognized. He was greatly interested in See also:mechanical experiments, and his name is intimately connected with the See also:early See also:history of the See also:steam-See also:engine (q.v.). His See also:Century of the Names and Scantlings of such Inventions as at See also:present I can See also:call to mind to have tried and perfected (1663) has often been reprinted. He died on the 3rd of See also:April 1667.
