Talk:Master of the Robes

2007 comment
Check Henry Sindey's dates. It's said in Sidney, Henry, first earl of Romney (1641–1704), politician and army officer by David Hosford © Oxford University Press 2004–7 that "Charles appointed Sidney master of the robes in July 1675, a post he purchased and which returned a minimum of £500 annually if managed properly". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.25.53.49 (talk) 14:36, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Which Sidney Godolphin?
Is it really the colonel? Isn't it more likely it was Sidney Godolphin, 1st Earl of Godolphin? Colonel Godolphin was an MP with no clear connection that I can see to court. The Earl was a long-time courtier. Surely the earl is the one who was Master of the Robes? john k (talk)


 * Okay, DNB gives it to the earl. I'm changing it. john k (talk) 13:27, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
