Henry Pierrepont, 1st Marquess of Dorchester, PC, FRS, FRCP Archived 6 October 2020 at the Wayback Machine (March 1606 – 8 December 1680) was an English peer.Styled Viscount Newark from 1628, he was member of parliament for Nottingham[1] from 1628 until 1629, and was summoned to the House of Lords[2] in his father's Barony of Pierrepont in 1641.In 1645 he was made a Privy Counsellor and created Marquess of Dorchester; but in 1647 he compounded for his estates by paying a large fine to the parliamentarians.[1] Afterwards, Lord Dorchester, who was always fond of books, spent his time mainly in London engaged in the study of medicine and law, his devotion to the former science bringing upon him a certain amount of ridicule and abuse.In 1666, on a trivial pretext, he and George Villiers, 2nd Duke of Buckingham, came to blows in the Painted Chamber at Westminster during a Parliamentary conference.
