Henry King (poet)

The elder son of John King, Bishop of London, and his wife Joan Freeman, he was baptised at Worminghall, Buckinghamshire, 16 January 1592.With his brother John King he matriculated 20 January 1609, and was admitted (19 June 1611 and 7 July 1614) to the degrees of bachelor and master of arts.He was deprived of the rectory of Petworth, which was given by parliament to Francis Cheynell, and by a resolution of the House of Commons, 27 June 1643, his estates were ordered to be sequestrated.[1] King wrote many elegies on royal persons and on his private friends, who included John Donne and Ben Jonson.King had the conventional views of the time and in his response, which exists in alternative versions, the boy explains that racial differences keep them apart.
