THOMAS (1612-1683) , See also:English dramatist and wit, son of See also:Sir See also:Robert Killigrew, was See also:born in Lothbury, See also:London, on the 7th of See also:February 1612. See also:Pepys says that as a boy he satisfied his love of the See also:stage by volunteering at the Red See also:Bull to take the See also:part of a See also:devil, thus seeing the See also:play for nothing. In 1633 he became See also:page to See also:Charles I., and was faithfully attached to the royal See also:house throughout his See also:life. In 1635 he was in See also:France, and has See also:left an See also:account (printed in the See also:European See also:Magazine, 1803) of the exorcizing of an evil spirit from some nuns at See also:Loudun. In 1641 he published two tragi-comedies, The Prisoners and Claracilla, both of which had probably been produced before 1636. In 1647 he followed See also:Prince Charles into See also:- EXILE (Lat. exsilium or exilium, from exsul or exul, which is derived from ex, out of, and the root sal, to go, seen in salire, to leap, consul, &c.; the connexion with solum, soil, country is now generally considered wrong)
exile. His wit, easy morals and accommodating See also:temper recommended him to Charles, who sent him to See also:Venice in 1651 as his representative. See also:Early in the following See also:year he was recalled at the See also:request of the Venetian See also:ambassador in See also:Paris. At the Restoration he became See also:groom of the bedchamber to Charles II., and later See also:- CHAMBERLAIN (0. Fr. chamberlain, chamberlenc, Mod. Fr. chambellan, from O. H. Ger.

King's Servants. They played at the Red Bull, until in 1663 he built for them the See also:original See also:Theatre Royal in See also:Drury See also:Lane. Pepys writes in 1664 that Killigrew intended to have four See also:opera seasons of six See also:weeks each during the year, and with this end in view paid several visits to See also:Rome to secure singers and See also:scene decorators. In 1664 his plays were published as Comedies and Tragedies. Written by Thomas Killigrew. They are Claracilla; The Princess, or Love at First Sight; The See also:Parson's See also:Wedding; The See also:Pilgrim; Cicilia and Clorinda, or Love in Arms; Thomaso, or the Wanderer; and Bellamira, her See also:Dream, or Love of Shadows. The Parson's Wedding (acted c. 164o, reprinted in the various See also:editions of See also:Dodsley's Old Plays and in the See also:Ancient See also:British See also:Drama) is an unsavoury play, which displays nevertheless considerable wit, and some of its jokes were appropriated by See also:Congreve. It was revived after the Restoration in 1664 and 1672 or 1673, all the parts being in both cases taken by See also:women. Killigrew succeeded Sir Henry Herbert as master of the revels in 1673. He died at See also:Whitehall on the 19th of See also:March 1683. He was twice married, first to See also:Cecilia Crofts, maid of See also:honour to Queen Henrietta Maria, and secondly to See also:Charlotte de See also:Hesse, by whom he had a son Thomas (1657-1719), who was the author of a successful little piece, Chit-Chat, played at Drury Lane on the 14th of February 1719, with Mrs See also:Oldfield in the part of Florinda.
Sir See also:John See also:Denham said of him:
Had See also:Cowley ne'er spoke, Killigrew ne'er See also:writ, Combined in one, they'd made a matchless wit.
Many stories are related of his bold speeches to Charles I. Pepys (Feb. 12, 1668) records that he was said to hold the See also:title of King's See also:Fool or See also:Jester, with a cap and bells at the expense of the king's See also:wardrobe, and that he might therefore revile or jeer anybody, even the greatest, without offence.
His See also:elder See also:brother, Sir WILLIAM KILLIGREW (1606-1695), was a See also:court See also:official under Charles I. and Charles II. He attempted to drain the See also:Lincolnshire See also:fens, and was the author of four plays (printed 1665 and 1666) of some merit.
A younger brother, Dr HENRY KILLIGREW (1613-1700), was See also:chaplain and See also:almoner to the See also:duke of See also:York, and master of the See also:Savoy after the Restoration. A juvenile play of his, The See also:Conspiracy, was printed surreptitiously in 1638, and in an authenticated version in 1653 as Pallantus and Eudora. He had two sons, HENRY KILLIGREW (d. 1712), an See also:admiral, and See also:- JAMES
