In 1616 he was given command of an See also:English See also:regiment in the Dutch service; and having succeeded his father as earl of Leicester in 1626, he was employed on See also:diplomatic business in See also:Denmark in 1632, and in See also:France from 1636 to 1641. He was then appointed See also:lord-See also:lieutenant of See also:Ireland in See also:place of the earl of See also:Strafford, but he waited in vain for instructions from the See also:- KING

Philip Sidney; his See also:character was lacking in decision, and, as commonly befalls men of moderate views in times of acute party strife, he failedto win the confidence of either of the opposing parties. His sincere protestantism offended See also:Laud, without being sufficiently extreme to please the puritans of the See also:parliamentary See also:faction; his fidelity to the king restrained him from any See also:act tainted with See also:rebellion, while his dislike for arbitrary See also:government pre-vented him giving whole-hearted support to See also:Charles I. When, therefore, the king summoned him to Oxford in See also:November 1642, Leicester's conduct See also:bore the See also:appearance of vacillation, and his See also:loyalty of uncertainty. Accordingly, after his resignation of the lord-lieutenancy of Ireland at the end of 1643, he retired into private See also:life. In 1649 the younger See also:children of the king were for a See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

He took no See also:part in public affairs during the See also:Commonwealth; and although at the Restoration he took his seat in the See also:House of Lords and was sworn of the privy See also:council, he continued to live for the most part in retirement at Penshurst, where he died on the 2nd of November 1677.

Thomas Pelham, See also:duke of See also:Newcastle. See also:Alger-non Sidney (q.v.), and Henry Sidney, earl of See also:Romney (q.v.), were younger sons of the earl.
Leicester's eldest son, Philip, 3rd earl (1619-1698), known for most of his life as Lord See also:Lisle, took a somewhat prominent part during the See also:civil See also:war. Being sent to Ireland in 1642 in command of a regiment of See also:horse, he became lieutenant-See also:general under See also:Ormonde; he strongly favoured the parliamentary cause, and in 1647 he was appointed lord-lieutenant of Ireland by the parliament. Named one of Charles I.'s See also:judges, he refused to take part in the trial; but he afterwards served in See also:Cromwell's Council of See also:State, and sat in the See also:Protector's House of Lords. Lisle stood high in Cromwell's favour, but nevertheless obtained a See also:pardon at the Restoration. He carried on the Sidney family tradition by his patronage of men of letters; and, having succeeded to the earldom on his father's See also:death in 1677, he died in 1698, and was succeeded in the See also:peerage by his son Robert, 4th earl of Leicester (1649-1702), whose See also:mother was See also:Catherine, daughter of See also:- WILLIAM
