A fan of film since young age, Lenzi studied at the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia and made his first film in 1958 which went unreleased, while his official debut happened in 1961 with Queen of the Seas  Lenzi's films of the 1960s followed popular trends of the era, which led to him directing several spy and erotic thriller films  He followed in suit in the 1970s making giallo films, crime films and making the first Italian cannibal film with Man from the Deep River  He continued making films up until the 1990s and later worked as a novelist writing a series of murder mysteries 

Biography
Early life
Umberto Lenzi was born on 6 August 1931 in the Massa Marittima province of Italy  Lenzi was a film enthusiast as early as grade school  While studying law, Lenzi also created film fan clubs  Lenzi eventually put off studying law and began pursuing the technical arts of filmmaking He graduated from Rome's Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia in 1956 and made I ragazzi di Trastevere as his final exam, a short film influenced by the writings of Pier Paolo Pasolini  Lenzi also worked as a journalist for various newspapers and magazines, including Bianco e Nero and, between 1957 and 1960, penned a number of detective novels and adventure stories using a pseudonym 

1960s
Prior to his officially first credited film as a director, Queen of the Seas, Lenzi directed a film in Greece in 1958 titled Mia Italida stin Ellada, or Vacanze ad Atene, which was never released Lenzi's films of the 1960s revolved around popular genres of their respective time periods  In the early 1960s, Lenzi directed many adventure films including two features about Robin Hood (The Triumph of Robin Hood and The Invincible Masked Rider) and two films about Sandokan (Sandokan the Great (1963) and Pirates of Malaysia (1964)) By 1965, Lenzi began directing European spy films, such as 008: Operation Exterminate, followed by Super Seven Calling Cairo and The Spy Who Loved Flowers, and even adapted the fumetti neri comic character Kriminal to the screen  Lenzi then turned to making war films such as Desert Commandos and Legion of the Damned and westerns such as Pistol for a Hundred Coffins and All Out (1968) Lenzi had box office success in Italy with his erotic thrillers starring Carroll Baker such as Orgasmo, So Sweet    So Perverse and A Quiet Place to Kill which were influenced by French "film noir" movies drawing from the works of Jacques Deray and René Clément 

1970s
After the commercial success of giallo films by Dario Argento, Lenzi followed the new trend with Seven Bloodstained Orchids, which referenced both Cornell Woolrich and Edgar Wallace novels, while another giallo Knife of Ice was a variation of Robert Siodmak's The Spiral Staircase  Other gialli created by Lenzi in the early 1970s included Spasmo and Eyeball During the early 1970s, Lenzi also directed the first of the Italian cannibal films, with Man from the Deep River, a genre that he would explore again in the 1980s with Eaten Alive! and Cannibal Ferox  During the late 1970s, Lenzi devoted himself almost exclusively to crime dramas, with the exception of two war films: The Greatest Battle and From Hell to Victory (1979) 

1980s
The 1980s marked the release of films that Roberto Curti described as some of Lenzi's "most notorious"  These included Nightmare City and the previously mentioned Cannibal Ferox Lenzi also worked on horror films towards the late 1980s, such as Ghosthouse (1988) under the name Humphrey Humbert and the slasher film Nightmare Beach which was credited to Harry Kirkpatrick as Lenzi refused to sign his name to the film  Other later 1980s work included horror films made for television, such as The House of Witchraft and The House of Lost Souls  Both films were part of a series titled Le case maldette (transl  Houses of Doom) which were set up by Luciano Martino and were related by the theme of haunted houses  The films were shot but the series was not broadcast immediately  Lenzi reflected on these films saying he made them as if they were designed for theatrical release and that  the producers, his colleagues and himself did not consider that television sponsors would not accept horror films  The two television series were eventually released on VHS in 2000 in Italy and later broadcast on Italian satellite TV in 2006  In 1989, Lenzi directed the police action film Cop Target in Miami and Santo Domingo, starring Robert Ginty and Charles Napier 

Post-1980s
In 1990, using his own company and a low amount of funds, Lenzi also shot two films in Brazil in a period of three months: the horror film Black Demons, which in 1996 he considered to be his masterpiece, and the adventure film Hunt for the Golden Scorpion In 1992, he shot the adventure film Mean Tricks (also known as Hornsby and Rodriguez) starring Charles Napier, David Warbeck and David Brandon  Variety reported in 2006 that Lenzi was shooting a slasher film in Italy titled Horror Baby  The film's story was about a 15-year-old paraplegic girl who becomes a serial killer after viewing a neighbor having sex from her window Lenzi later embarked on a career as a novelist, writing a series of murder mysteries set in the 1930s and '40s Cinecittà, involving real-life characters of the Italian film industry 

Death
Lenzi died on 19 October 2017  The director was hospitalized in the Ostia district of Rome  The cause of death is unknown 

Personal life
Umberto Lenzi was married to Olga Pehar, who co-wrote some of his films Lenzi was an anarchist 

Legacy
Roberto Curti referred to Lenzi as "one of the undisputed leading figures in Italian genre cinema" and that he was "a sort of institution in Italian genre cinema " Louis Paul suggested that Lenzi released some "quite enjoyable action films in the 1960s and some good thrillers in the '70s, he never consistently excelled at any one genre" and that Lenzi would "probably be remembered most for his cannibal-themed horror films " Kim Newman discussed Lenzi in 2021, stating that the director "has been rated towards the bottom of the ranks of Italian genre craftsmen by many - me included - because of the greater availability of his pulpier, more gruesome 1980s work" noting Cannibal Ferox and Nightmare City and stated that "though a trailblazer for the little-loved jungle cannibal cycle, contributing its earliest and most gruesome entries, in general Lenzi seemed one of the coat-tail riders, turning to whatever subgenre of exploitation was selling that year   and even in that class, he's less consistently interesting and exciting than Sergio Martino " Newman did note the film Lenzi made with Carroll Baker in the late 1960s, which Newman stated "force a reassessment" on Lenzi's work

Plot
Italian police officer Giorgio Berni (Maurizio Merli) is seeking to arrest Michele Barresi (Mario Merola), who is hiding in New York under the name Vito Ferrando, for his role in the murder of Salvetore Santoro  He plans to accomplish this by having a witness to the murder, Salvetore Scalia, testify against Barresi in court as evidence that Barresi was involved in the crime  On their way from Italy to New York Berni and Scalia experience several lethal encounters with Barresi's men trying to prevent them from getting to Barresi 
Assuming that Salvetore Scalia is dead, as a result of a newspaper report put out by the police, Barresi has his sister Liana murdered so as to eliminate all witnesses to the murder of Santoro  While searching Liana's apartment, police find a plane ticket for New York  While leaving Liana's apartment a shootout breaks out between Barresi's men and Berni, resulting in the death of Giuseppe Caruso, and revealing that Salvetore Scalia is alive  In order to secure a safe hiding spot for Scalia, Berni takes him to the house of his ex-wife, Paola  After leaving Paola's house another firefight ensues with Barresi's men  Poala, Berni, and Scalia then stay in a hotel for the night  As they head to the airport the following day, the road is blocked by Barresi's men, where Berni commands Paola to speed through their barrier  From here, Berni and Scalia take a plane to New York 
According to plan Scalia and Berni take refuge in a hotel the evening before they plan to testify against Barresi  After realizing that the man guarding the door is missing, Berni must take Scalia somewhere else to hide  He takes him to Joe's Restaurant and Pizzeria, where the head of the restaurant, Luigi, allows them to hide in his apartment upstairs  Meanwhile, two of Barresi's men enter the restaurant aiming to murder Berni and Scalia  However, a group of robbers enter immediately after, prompting Barresi's men to engage in shootout with the robbers, then flee the scene  Berni and Scalia exit Joe's Restaurant to track down the two men who left the restaurant, but are instead ambushed by a street gang  Police arrive to the scene of the ambush, where they arrest Berni and Scalia after receiving a report of two dangerous men, one armed, in the area  They do not initially believe that Berni is an Italian police officer  After Berni convinces them to take him to Lieutenant Sturges, who is sitting on the court case of Barresi, Berni and Scalia are free to begin their testimony against Barresi  When Scalia takes the stand to testify against Barresi, however, he claims that he does not know the man and has never seen him in his life, causing the judge to order Barresi to be set free 
Outside the court house, Scalia is shot dead by a gunman on the roof, revealed to be a clerk working at the hotel in which Berni and Scalia stayed when they first arrived in New York  The film ends with Berni searching Scalia's jacket pockets and finding a note stating that, if he were to die, let it be known that the man who goes by Vito Ferrando is actually Michele Barresi, providing Berni with the evidence he needs to bring Barresi down

No Trees in the Street
No Trees in the Street is a 1959 British crime thriller directed by J  Lee Thompson and written by Ted Willis, from his 1948 stage play of the same name The film is set in the slums of London  It depicts the life of impoverished teenager Tommy, who becomes a criminal in an attempt at social mobility  He starts with minor thefts and progresses to murder  A subplot involves the romantic involvements of Tommy's sister Hetty, first with a racketeer and then with a policeman 
The film is another example of British kitchen sink realism, but is mainly noted for its naturalistic depiction of slum life 

Plot
Initially, the film's story is told by Frank (Ronald Howard) a local plainclothes policeman in love with Hetty (Sylvia Syms), to a young tearaway Kenny (David Hemmings) 
In the slums of London before World War II, Tommy (Melvyn Hayes) is an aimless teenager who tries to escape his squalid surroundings by entering a life of crime  He falls in with local racketeer Wilkie (Herbert Lom), who holds the rest of the slum citizens - including Tommy's own family - in a grip of fear 
For a brief period, Hetty (Tommy's older sister) becomes Wilkie's girlfriend until he humiliates her in front of the other slum citizens simply to show his power over them, after which she will have nothing to do with Wilkie despite him repeatedly asking her to come back to him 
The film chronicles Tommy's sordid progression from minor thefts to murder At the end of the film, Hetty and Frank are seen to be married and living in a new council flat long after the slums have been demolished

Critical reception
TV Guide wrote "NO TREES suffers from artificiality of plot and dialog  Characterizations are reduced to mere stereotypes   There are some notable exceptions within the drama, however  Syms is surprisingly moving, giving a sensitive performance despite the film's constraints  Holloway's characterization of a bookie's tout is comical and charming   The camerawork attempts a realistic documentary look, which manages to succeed in capturing the details of slum life that make the setting seem surprisingly naturalistic  The finer points of the film, however, are overshadowed by its faults "Time Out wrote "released at a time when kitchen sink drama was all the rage, this is an unremarkable 'we had it tough' chronicle from another age "Variety wrote "Ted Willis is a writer with a sympathetic eye for problems of the middle and lower classes   Syms gives a moving performance as the gentle girl who refuses to marry the cheap racketeer just to escape  Lom, as the opportunist who dominates the street, is sufficiently suave and unpleasant "

Sylvia May Laura Syms  (6 January 1934 – 27 January 2023) was an English stage and screen actress  Her best-known film roles include My Teenage Daughter (1956), Woman in a Dressing Gown (1957), for which she was nominated for a BAFTA Award, Ice Cold in Alex (1958), No Trees in the Street (1959), Victim (1961), and The Tamarind Seed (1974) 
Known as the "Grand Dame of British Cinema", Syms was a major player in films from the mid-1950s until mid-1960s, usually in stiff-upper-lip English pictures, as opposed to kitchen sink realism dramas, before becoming more of a supporting actress in both film and television roles  On television, she was known for her recurring role as dressmaker Olive Woodhouse on the BBC soap opera EastEnders  She was also a notable theatre player Syms portrayed Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother in the 2006 biopic The Queen

Later career
Other comedies followed, such as The Big Job (1965) with Sid James and Bat Out of Hell (1967), but it was for drama that she won acclaim, including The Tamarind Seed (1974) with Julie Andrews and Omar Sharif, for which she was nominated for a British Film Academy award

Legacy
In the words of Filmink magazine:

I don’t think any actress in English speaking cinema of this era had such a variety of love interests as Sylvia Syms  It helped that she was beautiful, of course     that she could act: it’s hard to think of a bad Sylvia Syms performance – sometimes she was miscast, but never bad  She always brought a level of intelligence to her roles along with a sense of fun  And she was highly adept playing “smouldering hot lava of emotion and sensuality under an outwardly straight-laced and sensible facade” that made her – and this is meant with nothing but the greatest respect to the recently departed – sexy as hell "

J  Lee Thompson
John Lee Thompson (1 August 1914 – 30 August 2002) was a British film director, active in London and Hollywood, best known for award-winning films such as Woman in a Dressing Gown, Ice Cold in Alex and The Guns of Navarone along with cult classics like Cape Fear, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes and The White Buffalo 

Early life
Thompson was born in Bristol on 1 August 1914  His family had links to the theatre  Thompson studied at Dover College then went to work in the theatre, joining the Nottingham Repertory Company as an actor and stagehand  He later went to work for a repertory company in Croydon, Surrey He wrote plays in his spare time, and had started when he was nine  One of them, Murder Happens? was performed at Croydon in 1934  His second staged play, Double Error, had a brief West End run at the Fortune Theatre in 1935  An article from this time about the play said he had written 40 plays already, including four in between his first two staged plays  A company worth £10,000 was formed to exploit Thompson's writings over the next seven years but this appears to have not had a long life Thompson later said he had written a part for himself to perform, but when management asked him if he wanted to do so he said "of course not," and "the die was cast  Later I decided if I didn't have the guts to admit I wanted to play the role I should never act again and I never did "

Screenwriter
The film rights to Double Error were purchased for £100  Thompson was hired to work in the scriptwriting department at British International Pictures at Elstree Studios  While there he made his one appearance as an actor in films, playing a small role in Midshipman Easy (1935) 
His first credit was The Price of Folly (1937), based on his play  He also worked on the scripts for Glamorous Night (1937), and he worked as dialogue coach on Jamaica Inn (1939), directed by Alfred Hitchcock 
He wrote the scripts for The Middle Watch (1940), made at Associated British Picture Corporation (ABPC) and East of Piccadilly (1941) 

World War II
Thompson served in World War II as a tailgunner and wireless operator in the RAF  In 1942 a revised version of Double Error, titled Murder Without Crime, opened at the Comedy Theatre in London  The play had a run on Broadway in 1943 

Post War
After the war Thompson returned to his work as scriptwriter under contract at Associated British on such films as No Place for Jennifer (1949) and For Them That Trespass (1949), the latter starring Richard Todd in his debut 
Thompson was dialogue director on The Hasty Heart (1949), which turned Todd into a star  He later said he gave up dialogue directing because he found the job "impossible  My job was to take stars through their lines but I felt that I was also expected to be a spy for the front office  If a word was altered they wanted to know why  It was a way of keeping control "The same year his play The Human Touch, co written with Dudley Leslie, ran for more than a hundred performances at the Savoy Theatre in a production starring Alec Guinness 

British film director
Early films
His first film as a director was Murder Without Crime (1950), made at ABPC, who put Thompson under contract   Thompson was offered £500 for the screen rights to the play and £500 to direct  He said "it was not so much that I wanted to direct movies it was to get the money so I could continue writing plays  But while directing it I got the feeling that I wanted to be a movie director "Thompson said "the fact is I found directing to be much easier than writing and I enjoyed it much more than writing as well  So I became a film director "The film was about a man who thinks he has committed murder  Thompson also wrote the screenplay, based on his own play Double Error  In the words of Thompson's Screenonline profile "this well structured film went largely unnoticed but contained many of the themes which were to characterise Lee Thompson's work: a good person's struggle with their conscience, an external force of evil, and an out-of-character moment of violence which has long-term consequences  Believing people can "commit crimes without being criminals", he sought to make his audiences condone or at least understand behaviour that they would normally condemn "Thompson's first film success was one he directed and co-wrote (with Anne Burnaby), The Yellow Balloon (1953), the story of a child who is blackmailed into helping a criminal after accidentally causing his friend's death 
He followed it with a comedy, For Better, For Worse (1954) starring Dirk Bogarde, which was even more popular though it is little remembered today 

Social Realist films
Thompson's fourth film as director The Weak and the Wicked (1954), portrays the lives of women in prison and is based on memoirs by Joan Henry, who became Thompson's second wife  Thompson wrote the script, again in collaboration with Anne Burnaby  It starred Glynis Johns and Diana Dors and was a hit at the box office  The success of the film greatly added to Thompson's prestige and he began to be regarded as one of the leading directors in the country Thompson was loaned to Rank Films to direct a Jack Buchanan comedy, As Long as They're Happy (1955), co-starring Dors and An Alligator Named Daisy (1955), also starring Dors, along with Donald Sinden  He returned to ABPC and the theme of female prisoners in Yield to the Night (1956), an anti-capital punishment tale with Diana Dors as the condemned prisoner 
Thompson later said the "pattern" of his ABPC films was "two pieces of tepid rubbish for one decent project - if I could persuade Robert Clark, who was head of production  He used to wring his hands when I insisted  'Okay,' he'd finally say  'Do it if you must  But it won't make money ' I admired him for that really  He did give you a bit of a chance "The Good Companions (1957) was lighter fare, based on a book by J  B  Priestley  According to one obituary Thompson "made excellent use of the CinemaScope screen, assembled a fine supporting cast and, with zestful choreography    came up with one of the few successes in a genre for which the British cinema was not noted "Woman in a Dressing Gown (1957), with Yvonne Mitchell, Anthony Quayle and Sylvia Syms and written by Ted Willis, deals with the collapse of a 20-year marriage 

Action director
Thompson had a big success with Ice Cold in Alex (1958), the story of a British Army unit trekking across North Africa in the Second World War  It featured John Mills, Sylvia Syms, Anthony Quayle and Harry Andrews  It won three BAFTA Awards, including Best British Film  He followed it with North West Frontier (1959), an adventure film set in British India starring Kenneth More and Lauren Bacall  It was one of the most popular films in Britain in 1959 No Trees in the Street (1959) was a thriller written by Willis  Also in that genre was Tiger Bay (1959), starring John Mills  It introduced cinema audiences to Mills' daughter Hayley and German actor Horst Buchholz   Hayley Mills also earned a BAFTA for Most Promising Newcomer portraying a 12-year-old girl who refuses to betray a sailor accused of murder 
Thompson followed this with I Aim at the Stars (1960) 

Hollywood career
Guns of Navarone and Cape Fear
Thompson vaulted to international fame with The Guns of Navarone (1961) as a last-minute replacement for director Alexander Mackendrick  His take-charge attitude during its production earned him the nickname 'Mighty Mouse' from lead actor Gregory Peck  Co-star Anthony Quinn said Thompson:

Never read a scene until he had to shoot it and approached each shot on a whim  And yet the cumulative effect was astonishing  Lee Thompson made a marvelous picture but how? Perhaps his inventiveness lay in defying convention, in rejecting the accepted methods of motion picture making and establishing his own  Perhaps it was in his very formlessness that he found the one form he could sustain, and nurture, the one form that could, in turn, sustain and nurture him  Perhaps he was just a lucky Englishman who pulled a good picture out of his ass 
The Guns of Navarone, a World War II epic filmed on location in Rhodes, Greece, was nominated for seven Academy Awards including Thompson for Best Director  In 1961 he said "primarily I am in the business to entertain  This does not mean that I never want to try artistic movies again  But I do not think you can sell art on the big movie circuits  Art belongs in the art houses " Later he said "I liked the character bits best" about Navarone  "Anyone can make an explosion "The success of Navarone won him entry into Hollywood, where he directed Cape Fear (1962), a psychological thriller with Gregory Peck, Robert Mitchum, Polly Bergen and Lori Martin; Peck and Mitchum co-producing the film  Based on a novel called The Executioners by John D  MacDonald, Cape Fear shows how a sex offender can manipulate the justice system and terrorise an entire family  Highly controversial for its time, the film was cut heavily in both the United States and the United Kingdom 
He worked on a project with Warren Beatty and Clifford Odets based on an idea of Beatty's  It was never made  Neither was The Short Cut which he discussed doing with Darryl F  Zanuck, or The Living Room from a novel by Graham Greene or Chips with Everything by Arnold Wesker 

Mirisch Brothers
Thompson directed Yul Brynner in the Cossack epic Taras Bulba (1962) for producer Harold Hecht  Thompson was going to follow it with Big Charlie starring Brynner but the movie was not made  In 1962 the Mirisch Brothers signed the director to a four-picture contract  The first film made under this contract was the Mayan Indian epic Kings of the Sun (1963), starring Brynner 
In September 1962 Thompson said he would make I Love Louisa with Elizabeth Taylor produced by Arthur Jacobs  (This film became What a Way to Go!(1964) with Shirley MacLaine ) He would put actors under personal contract like Talitha Pol In September 1963 Thompson announced he had formed a company, Bowhall Productions, to make around four films a year in the $120,000-$160,000 budget range  Thompson said it was "unlikely" the films would "make a profit" but they were movies he "deeply wanted to make"  They included Chips with Everything, Rose without a Thorn by Clifford Bax, and a film in Spain  Following Return from the Ashes he would also make a $7 million movie in Africa Thunder of Giants Instead he did another with MacLaine, John Goldfarb, Please Come Home (1965)  Back in England Thompson made Return from the Ashes (1965) for the Mirisch Brothers  In April 1965 Thompson announced he would make High Citadel based on a novel by Desmond Bagley for the Mirisch Brothers  These plans were postponed when Thompson received an offer to replace Michael Anderson, who had fallen ill before he was to start directing a thriller about cults with David Niven, Eye of the Devil (1967) (originally titled 13)  High Citadel was never filmed  Another film announced but never filmed was The Case Against Colonel Sutton which he was going to do with producer Martin Poll  Neither was a proposed musical remake of The Private Lives of Henry VIII After a war film, Before Winter Comes (1968) Thompson was reunited with the star, producer and writer of Navarone in the Western Mackenna's Gold (1969) but it did poorly at the box office  So too did the espionage tale The Chairman (1969) with Gregory Peck  He was meant to follow that with You?, about assassination from a script by Andrew Sinclair  It was never filmed  "I freely admit I've done some pretty bad stuff," he said in 1968  "It's entirely my own fault  The trouble was I accepted some dismal scripts   I wasn't tough enough    Writing is the fundamental thing " Some have argued that Thompson's creative decline coincided with the end of his relationship with Henry 

Apes Movies
Back in the UK he directed Country Dance, also known as Brotherly Love (1970)  Thompson's handling of a smaller scale film impressed producer Arthur Jacobs, with whom Thompson had made What a Way to Go; Thompson was the first director attached to the Jacobs production The Planet of the Apes and Thompson says he turned down the first two sequels  He was available to make the fourth and fifth movies in the series, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes and Battle for the Planet of the Apes  Writer Paul Dehn said Thompson had a reputation as someone with a drinking problem but that he had overcome it by the time of the Apes films "They were cutting back on the budgets the whole time after the first one", said Thompson later  "It was a bad policy "

Later career
US Television
Thompson began working more in US television, directing the television films A Great American Tragedy (1972), Huckleberry Finn (1974) starring Jeff East and Paul Winfield, The Reincarnation of Peter Proud (1974) and Widow (1976) as well as the pilot episode of The Blue Knight (1975) 
He returned to playwriting with Getting Away with Murder (1976) 

Charles Bronson
In 1976, Thompson began a long collaboration with actor Charles Bronson on the Warner Bros  crime story St  Ives   John Crowther, who worked with both men, later said "Thompson was the total antithesis of Charlie and they got along famously  They really worked well together ”In 1977, Bronson and Thompson teamed again on an unconventional western film called The White Buffalo Thompson directed two films starring Anthony Quinn, The Greek Tycoon and The Passage  Reviewing the latter The Guardian called Thompson a director who "should know better but often doesn't"  The Globe and Mail argued Thompson was "possibly the worst experienced director working in the world today "Thompson directed the horror film, Happy Birthday to Me in 1980 
In 1981 Thompson and Bronson made the film Caboblanco, which opened on Los Angeles on 24 April  Also that year he directed an episode of the TV show Code Red, and which he followed with another Bronson movie, 10 to Midnight Thompson worked with Bronson again on, The Evil That Men Do (1984), which was shot in Mexico   Thompson was hired to replace original director Fielder Cook, who was fired shortly before filming began  Producer Pancho Okhenr said Thompson "knew exactly what shots he needed to put together the film     [Bronson] had a lot of respect for Lee  The whole crew appreciated when the director did not make them work over and over to get the same shot from different angles    He was just a terrific filmmaker ”Also released that year was The Ambassador, starring Robert Mitchum 
On 22 November 1985, King Solomon's Mines premiered  Thompson made this film as an Indiana Jones-style pastiche  It was shot in Zimbabwe and starred Richard Chamberlain  The film was reasonably successful at the box office 
On 18 April 1986, Murphy's Law, the Thompson and Bronson collaboration of that year, started its theatrical run  It is a neo-noir thriller film  Acting in the film are Kathleen Wilhoite, Carrie Snodgress, Robert F  Lyons, and Richard Romanus  Thompson tried another Indiana Jones-type tale with Firewalker, which premiered on 21 November  The film paired the actors Chuck Norris with Louis Gossett Jr  as its leads  The action adventure co-stars Will Sampson and Melody Anderson  Norris and Gossett play Max Donigan and Leo Porter, two soldiers of fortune, whose adventures rarely result in any notable gain  They are befriended by an inscrutable woman of mystery Patricia (Anderson)  Patricia's map leads them on a quest for treasure in Central America  The name of the movie comes from the powerful guardian of the treasure 
Now working exclusively for Cannon, Thompson made two more Charles Bronson thrillers  On 6 November 1987 Death Wish 4: The Crackdown was released and 16 September 1988 saw the opening of Messenger of Death  He later reflected, "I realized these films were not going to enhance my reputation  I had to live with that  You're not going to be offered the great films at a certain age "3 February 1989, Thompson's final directorial effort was released Kinjite: Forbidden Subjects starring Charles Bronson In 1990 Thompson moved to Sooke In 1992 Thompson said he was trying to finance a remake of Tiger Bay with Anna Chumsky and Alec Baldwin  The director said "I have certain regrets now  I would rather have stuck to making films like Yield to the Night which had some integrity and importance  But the British film industry caved in  I shouldn't denigrate myself too much because I have enjoyed making my films but I suppose I sort of sold out "

Personal life
Thompson was married three times  His first wife was Florence Bailey, whom he married in 1935 when he was 20  They had a son, Peter (1938–1997), who became a film editor on several of his father's films and predeceased him, and a daughter, Lesley, who survived him  They divorced in 1957 
His second wife was prisoner and author Joan Henry, whom he married in 1958  They collaborated on Weak and the Wicked and Yield to the Night  He left her for actress Susan Hampshire  In March 1962 Hedda Hopper reported that Thompson was "sweating it out" in Los Angeles while Henry and Hampshire were "awaiting his decision in London " Thompson confirmed this in an interview, and Hampshire and Henry were less forthcoming to the press In September, Hopper reported that it was over between Thompson and Hampshire  Henry and Thompson were divorced in the late 1960s In November 1962, Thompson said he had proposed to Shirley Ann Field whom he said accepted then changed her mind His third wife was Penny, who was his widow 

Death
Thompson died of congestive heart failure on 30 August 2002, at his holiday home in Sooke, British Columbia, aged 88 

Critical appraisal
The Guardian obituary called him "a compelling craftsman"  The Washington Post said "he directed adventure films noted for their punchy pacing, rich atmosphere and nuanced characterization " Variety said he was "Known as a craftsman who had a clear sense of how each film should play, scene by scene" The Independent said "he lent his acute sense of atmosphere and vivid visual style to a wide range of material  His intimate kitchen-sink melodramas    were unflinching portraits of social realism unusually stark for their time  His thrillers were tautly edited exercises in suspense, and he also made some engaging comedies and a bracing musical   Though his later films can most kindly be labelled potboilers, his body of work in the Fifties and early Sixties was an impressive one "In 2000 he stated that he made so many American films "because of my insecurity and effort to stay here  If I was given a script and it had something good in it I'd say, 'Good, I've got my next picture!' That is not the way to make good films, so some of them were good and some not so good     What an idiot! 'You should have stayed at what you really wanted to make ' If I have anything to say to young directors today it's don't make a film for the sake of making it  Make it only if you really believe in it  Then success will eventually come to you "

Passage 2:
Lump of labour fallacy
In economics, the lump of labour fallacy is the misconception that there is a finite amount of work—a lump of labour—to be done within an economy which can be distributed to create more or fewer jobs  It was considered a fallacy in 1891 by economist David Frederick Schloss, who held that the amount of work is not fixed The term originated to rebut the idea that reducing the number of hours employees are allowed to labour during the working day would lead to a reduction in unemployment  The term is also commonly used to describe the belief that increasing labour productivity, immigration, or automation causes an increase in unemployment  Whereas opponents of immigration argue that immigrants displace a country's workers, this is a fallacy, as the number of jobs in the economy is not fixed and immigration increases the size of the economy and may increase productivity, innovation, and overall economic activity, as well as reduce incentives for off-shoring and business closures, thus creating more jobs The lump of labor fallacy is also known as the lump of jobs fallacy, fallacy of labour scarcity, fixed pie fallacy, and the zero-sum fallacy—due to its ties to zero-sum games  The term "fixed pie fallacy" is also used more generally to refer to the idea that there is a fixed amount of wealth in the world  This and other zero-sum fallacies can be caused by zero-sum bias 

Immigration
The lump of labour fallacy has been applied to concerns around immigration and labour  Given a fixed availability of employment, the lump of labour position argues that allowing immigration of working-age people reduces the availability of work for native-born workers ("they are taking our jobs") However, skilled immigrating workers can bring capabilities that are not available in the native workforce, for example in academic research or information technology  Additionally, immigrating workforces also create new jobs by expanding demand, thus creating more jobs, either directly by setting up businesses (therefore requiring local services or workers), or indirectly by raising consumption  As an example, a greater population that eats more groceries will increase demand from shops, which will therefore require additional shop staff 

Employment regulations
Advocates of restricting working hours regulation may assume that there is a fixed amount of work to be done within the economy  By reducing the amount that those who are already employed are allowed to work, the remaining amount will then accrue to the unemployed  This policy was adopted by the governments of Herbert Hoover in the United States and Lionel Jospin in France, in the 35-hour working week (though in France various exemptions to the law were granted by later centre-right governments) Many economists agree that such proposals are likely to be ineffective, because there are usually substantial administrative costs associated with employing more workers  These can include additional costs in recruitment, training, and management that would increase average cost per unit of output  This overall would lead to a reduced production per worker, and may even result in higher unemployment 

Early retirement
Early retirement has been used to induce workers to accept termination of employment before retirement age following the employer's diminished labour needs  Government support for the practice has come from the belief that this should lead to a reduction in unemployment  The unsustainability of this practice has now been recognised, and the trend in Europe is now towards postponement of the retirement age In an editorial in The Economist a thought experiment is proposed in which old people leave the workforce in favour of young people, on whom they become dependent for their living through state benefits  It is then argued that since growth depends on having either more workers or greater productivity, the society cannot really become more prosperous by paying an increasing number of its citizens unproductively  The article also points out that even early retirees with private pension funds become a burden on society as they also depend on equity and bond income generated by workers 

Arguments in favor of the concept
There have been critiques of the idea that the concept is a fallacy  Arguments include that Schloss' concept is misapplied to working hours and that he was originally critiquing workers intentionally restricting their output, that prominent economists like John Maynard Keynes believed shorter working hours could allieviate unemployment, and that claims of it being a fallacy are used to argue against proposals for shorter working hours without addressing the non-economic arguments for them

Passage 3:
The Lump of Coal
The Lump of Coal is a Christmas short story written by Lemony Snicket and illustrated by Brett Helquist  Originally published in the December 10–12, 2004 issue of the now-defunct magazine USA Weekend, it was re-released as a stand-alone book in 2008  It is meant to parody traditional children's Christmas stories, à la the 1823 poem 'Twas the Night Before Christmas  Though illustrated and relatively short, the book uses vocabulary above that of most children, including the term objets d'art  Many elements of the story are easily recognizable as Snicket-esque to A Series of Unfortunate Events readers, including a culturally intelligent and talented protagonist who is dismissed by many a mumpsimus 

Plot summary
It is Christmas time  A living lump of coal falls off a barbecue grill  He wishes for a miracle to happen  The lump of coal is artistic and wants to be an artist  He goes in search of something  First, he finds an art gallery that, he believes, shows art by lumps of coal  But when he comes in, he sadly discovers the art is by humans who use lumps of coal  He then finds a Korean restaurant called Mr  Wong's Korean Restaurant and Secretarial School, but he goes in and discovers that all things used must be 100% Korean (although the owner does not use a Korean name or proper Korean spices)  The lump of coal continues down the street and runs into a man dressed like Santa Claus  The lump of coal tells the man about his problem, and the man gets an idea  He suggests he put the lump of coal in Jasper (his bratty son)'s stocking  The son finds it and is ecstatic; he has wanted to make art with coal  So he makes portraits and he and the lump of coal become rich  They move to Korea and open an authentic Korean restaurant, and have a gallery of their art

Passage 4:
Energy value of coal
The energy value of coal, or fuel content, is the amount of potential energy coal contains that can be converted into heat  This value can be calculated and compared with different grades of coal and other combustible materials, which produce different amounts of heat according to their grade 
While chemistry provides ways of calculating the heating value of a certain amount of a substance, there is a difference between this theoretical value and its application to real coal  The grade of a sample of coal does not precisely define its chemical composition, so calculating the coal's actual usefulness as a fuel requires determining its proximate and ultimate analysis (see "Chemical Composition" below) 

Chemical composition
Chemical composition of the coal is defined in terms of its proximate and ultimate (elemental) analyses  The parameters of proximate analysis are moisture, volatile matter, ash, and fixed carbon  Elemental or ultimate analysis encompasses the quantitative determination of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, sulfur and oxygen within the coal  Additionally, specific physical and mechanical properties of coal and particular carbonization properties 
The calorific value Q of coal [kJ/kg] is the heat liberated by its complete combustion with oxygen  Q is a complex function of the elemental composition of the coal  Q can be determined experimentally using calorimeters  Dulong suggests the following approximate formula for Q when the oxygen content is less than 10%: 

Q = 337C + 1442(H - O/8) + 93S,where C is the mass percent of carbon, H is the mass percent of hydrogen, O is the mass percent of oxygen, and S is the mass percent of sulfur in the coal   With these constants, Q is given in kilojoules per kilogram

Passage 5:
Jugband Blues
"Jugband Blues" is a song by the English psychedelic rock band Pink Floyd, released on their second album, A Saucerful of Secrets, in 1968  Written by Syd Barrett, it was his sole compositional contribution to the album, as well as his last published for the band  Barrett and Pink Floyd's management wanted the song to be released as a single, but were vetoed by the rest of the band and producer Norman Smith  "Jugband Blues" is directed towards anyone within Barrett's proximity 

Background and recording
"Jugband Blues" was written around the same time as "Vegetable Man"  Both songs contain the same cynical humour, but while on "Vegetable Man" Barrett focuses his humour on himself, on "Jugband Blues" it is directed towards those around him

Question: When did Robert Bertie, 3Rd Earl Of Lindsey's father die?

The following are given passages.
Context 3: Passage 1:
Thomas Savage, 3rd Earl Rivers
Major General Thomas Savage, 3rd Earl Rivers (c  1628 – 14 September 1694) was an English nobleman and soldier 
He was the first son of John Savage, 2nd Earl Rivers by his wife Catherine, daughter of William Parker, 13th Baron Morley  His father was closely involved in the English Civil War on the Royalist side from 1641  Consequently, he lost his castles at Halton and Rocksavage and their contents were confiscated 
About 1647, he married firstly Elizabeth (b  1627), illegitimate daughter of Emanuel Scrope, 1st Earl of Sunderland by his mistress Martha Jeanes  Their children included: Thomas, who married Charlotte, daughter of Charles Stanley, 8th Earl of Derby; Richard, who succeeded as 4th Earl Rivers; Elizabeth; and Annabella  They also had other children who died young He was widely believed to be a Roman Catholic, and during the Popish Plot he was denounced by informers, but the evidence was so flimsy that no charges were ever brought against him 
About 1684, he married secondly Arabella, daughter of Robert Bertie, 3rd Earl of Lindsey  They had no issue He died at his house in Great Queen Street in the Parish of St Giles in the Fields, Middlesex  A memorial to him by William Stanton was installed in St Michaels Church, Macclesfield Documented evidence exists in the form of a pamphlet which details a murder by a Thomas Savage of St Giles in the Fields  It is likely the Thomas in question is the son of the 3rd Earl Rivers, or a family relation 
Passage 2:
Robert Bertie, 3rd Earl of Lindsey
Robert Bertie, 3rd Earl of Lindsey PC FRS (8 November 1630 – 8 May 1701), styled Lord Willoughby de Eresby from 1642 to 1666, was an English nobleman 
He was the son of Montagu Bertie, 2nd Earl of Lindsey and Martha Cokayne  He travelled on the Continent, in France and Italy from 1647 to 1652, attending the University of Padua in 1651  In 1654, he married Mary Massingberd, who died in the late 1650s, after bearing him one daughter:
Lady Arabella Bertie (d  28 February 1716), married Thomas Savage, 3rd Earl Rivers Before 1660, he married again to Elizabeth Wharton (d  1669), daughter of Philip Wharton, 4th Baron Wharton, by whom he had five children:
Robert Bertie, 1st Duke of Ancaster and Kesteven (1660–1723)
Rt  Hon  Peregrine Bertie (c  1663–1711)
Hon  Philip Bertie (c  1664–1728), married Elizabeth Brabazon, daughter of William Brabazon, 3rd Earl of Meath, without issue
Hon  Norris Bertie (c  1666 – 27 August 1691)
Hon  Albemarle Bertie (c  1668–1742)He contested Boston in 1661 and was returned to the Cavalier Parliament, in which he sat until he succeeded his father as Earl of Lindsey and Lord Great Chamberlain in 1666  In about 1670, he married a third time, to Lady Elizabeth Pope, daughter of Thomas Pope, 2nd Earl of Downe and widow of Sir Francis Lee, 4th Baronet  By her he had two children:
Hon  Charles Bertie (c  1683–1727)
Lady Elizabeth Bertie, died unmarriedLindsey had inherited an electoral interest at Stamford, on which his brother Peregrine had been returned since 1665  In a 1677 by-election, Lindsey treated the voters lavishly and secured the election of his candidate against that of the 4th Earl of Exeter, heretofore the predominant interest in the borough  For a brief period, both Peregrine and their younger brother Charles Bertie sat for the borough, but the Exclusion crisis in 1679 temporarily destroyed Lindsey's influence and both were turned out  Lindsey's brothers regained both seats at the 1685 election, but in 1689, he compromised with the 5th Earl of Exeter and each chose one member, Lindsey's brother Charles holding the seat until 1711  In 1694, he put in his younger son Philip at a by-election alongside Charles, but the Exeter interest put up a candidate again in 1698 and Philip did not stand 
Passage 3:
Robert Bertie, 1st Earl of Lindsey
Robert Bertie, 1st Earl of Lindsey KG (16 December 1582 – 24 October 1642), previously (from 1601 to 1626) 14th Baron Willoughby de Eresby was an English peer, soldier and courtier 

Early life
Robert Bertie was the son of Peregrine Bertie, 13th Baron Willoughby de Eresby (b  12 October 1555 – d  25 June 1601) and Mary de Vere, daughter of John de Vere, 16th Earl of Oxford, and Margery Golding  Queen Elizabeth I was his godmother, and two of her favourite earls (Robert Dudley, 1st Earl of Leicester, and Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex), whose Christian name he bore, were his godfathers 
He had been part of Essex's expedition to Cádiz, and had afterwards served in the Netherlands, under Maurice of Nassau, Prince of Orange  He was even given temporary command of English forces during the Siege of Rheinberg in the summer of 1601  The long Continental wars throughout the peaceful reign of King James I had been treated by the English nobility as schools of arms, as a few campaigns were considered a graceful finish to a gentleman's education He succeeded his father as Baron Willoughby de Eresby in 1601  He was later created Earl of Lindsey on 22 November 1626 and took his title from the northern of the three parts of Lincolnshire, the old Kingdom of Lindsey 

The entrepreneur
The Lindsey Level in The Fens, between the River Glen and The Haven, at Boston, Lincolnshire, was named after the first Earl Lindsey as he was the principal adventurer in its drainage  The drainage work was declared complete in 1638 but the project was neglected with the onset of the Civil War so that the land fell back into its old state  When it was drained again, more than a hundred years later, it was called the Black Sluice Level  There is more information under the article Twenty, Lincolnshire 

The English Civil War
As soon as Lord Lindsey had begun to fear that the disputes between the King, Charles I and Parliament must end in war, he had begun to exercise and train his tenantry in Lincolnshire and Northamptonshire, of whom he had formed a regiment of infantry 

First Siege of Hull
Lord Lindsey accompanied the King in April 1642 as part of a party who tried to negotiate a handover of the magazine at Hull for the King's military use  This handover was turned down by the pro-Parliamentary governor, Sir John Hotham, who expelled the party, causing it to withdraw with the King to York  Early in July, the King returned from York with a force of 3,000 infantry and 1,000 cavalry, intent on besieging the city, now garrisoned by reinforcing Parliamentary troops commanded by Sir John Meldrum, returning to York while leaving Lord Lindsey in command through the siege   Meldrum ordered some effective sorties out of the city, the last of which, on 27 July, blew up the arsenal Lindsey's troops had set up at Anlaby, west of Hull  Lindsey's force, whose cavalry were unsupported by the infantry who had withdrawn to Beverley, gave up the siege after this loss of their munitions and retreated back to York, lifting the siege 

Battle of Edgehill
As Lord Lindsey was a most experienced soldier of 59 years of age at the start of the English Civil War, King Charles I had appointed him General-in-chief of the Royalists for the Battle of Edgehill  However, the King had imprudently exempted the cavalry from Lindsey's command, its general, the King's nephew Prince Rupert of the Rhine, taking orders only from the King  Rupert was only 22 years old, and although an experienced soldier who had fought in the Thirty Years' War, he had not yet learnt that cavalry should also be used in support of infantry and not just against the enemy's cavalry 
With Lindsey was his son Montagu Bertie, Lord Willoughby who had seen some service against the Spaniards in the Netherlands, and after his return had been made a captain in the Lifeguards, and a Gentleman of the Bedchamber  Anthony van Dyck has left portraits of the father and the son; the one a bald-headed, alert, precise-looking old warrior, with the cuirass and gauntlets of earlier warfare; the other, the very model of a cavalier, tall, easy, and graceful, with a gentle reflective face, and wearing the long lovelocks and deep-point lace collar and cuffs characteristic of Queen Henrietta's Court 
At eight o'clock, on the morning of 23 October 1642 King Charles was riding along the ridge of Edge Hill, and looking down into the Vale of the Red Horse, a fair meadow land, here and there broken by hedges and copses  His troops were mustering around him, and in the valley he could see with his telescope the various Parliamentary regiments, as they poured out of the town of Kineton, and took up their positions in three lines  "I never saw the rebels in a body before," he said, as he gazed sadly at the subjects arrayed against him  "I shall give them battle  God, and the prayers of good men to Him, assist the justice of my cause " The whole of his forces were not assembled till two o'clock in the afternoon, for the gentlemen who had become officers found it no easy matter to call their farmers and retainers together, and marshal them into any sort of order 
Lord Lindsey, who was an old comrade of Robert Devereux, 3rd Earl of Essex, who was by then the commander of the Parliamentarian forces, knew that he would follow the tactics they had both together studied in Holland, little thinking that one day they should be arrayed one against the other in their own native England  He had a high opinion of Essex's generalship, and insisted that the situation of the Royal army required the utmost caution  Rupert, on the other hand, had seen the swift fiery charges of the fierce troopers of the Thirty Years' War, and was backed up by Patrick Ruthven, Lord Ruthven, one of the many Scots who had won honour under King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden  A sudden charge of the Royal horse would, Rupert argued, sweep the Roundheads from the field, and the foot would have nothing to do but to follow up the victory  The King, sad enough at having to fight at all with his subjects, and never having seen a battle, seemed entirely bewildered between the ardent words of his spirited nephew and the grave replies of the well-seasoned old Earl  Eventually the King, willing at least not to irritate Rupert, desired that Ruthven should array the troops in the Swedish fashion 
It was a greater affront to the General-in-chief than the king was likely to understand, but it could not shake the old soldier's loyalty  He gravely resigned the empty title of General, which only made confusion worse confounded, and rode away to act as colonel of his own Lincolnshire regiment, pitying his master's perplexity, and resolved that no private pique should hinder him from doing his duty  His regiment was of foot soldiers, and was just opposite to the standard of the Earl of Essex 
In the afternoon the Royal forces marched down the hill  Prince Rupert's charge was fully successful  No one even waited to cross swords with his troopers, but all the Roundhead horse galloped headlong off the field, hotly pursued by the Royalists  However, the main body of the army stood firm, and for some time the battle was nearly equal, until a large troop of Parliamentary cavalry who had been kept in reserve, wheeled round and fell upon the Royal forces just when their scanty supply of ammunition was exhausted  Step by step, however, they retreated bravely, and Rupert, who had returned from his charge, sought in vain to collect his scattered troopers, so as to fall again on the Roundheads  Some were plundering, some chasing the Roundheads, and none could be got together 

Death
Lord Lindsey was shot through the thigh bone, and fell  He was instantly surrounded by Roundhead cavalry; but his son, Lord Willoughby, seeing his danger, flung himself alone among them, forced his way forward, and raised his father in his arm, unheeding his own safety  The throng of Roundheads around called to him to surrender, and, hastily giving up his sword, he carried the Earl into the nearest shed, and laid him on a heap of straw, vainly striving to staunch the blood under watch of a Roundhead guard 
It was a bitterly cold night, and the frosty wind came howling through the darkness  Lord Lindsey himself murmured, "If it please God I should survive, I never will fight in the same field with boys again!"–no doubt deeming that young Rupert had wrought all the mischief  His thoughts were all on the cause, his son's all on him  It proved impossible to stop his wounds bleeding and gradually the old man's strength ebbed away 
Toward midnight the Earl's old comrade Essex had news of his condition, and sent some officers to enquire for him, and promise speedy surgical attendance  Lindsey was still full of spirit, and spoke to them so strongly of their broken faith, and of the sin of disloyalty and rebellion, that they slunk away one by one out of the hut, and dissuaded Essex from coming himself to see his old friend, as he had intended  The surgeon, however, arrived, but too late, Lindsey was already so much exhausted by cold and loss of blood, that he died early in the morning of 24 October 1642, as he was being carried through the gates of Warwick Castle where other Royalist prisoners were being kept  His son, despite King Charles' best efforts to obtain his exchange, remained a prisoner of the Parliamentary side for about a year  Lindsey is buried in St Michael and All Angels Church, Edenham, Lincolnshire Lord Lindsey should not be confused with Ludovic Lindsay, 16th Earl of Crawford, who also fought for the King at the Battle of Edgehill 

Marriage and issue
In 1605, Lindsey married Elizabeth Montagu (d  30 November 1654, sister of Edward Montagu, 1st Baron Montagu of Boughton)  They had thirteen children:

Montagu Bertie, 2nd Earl of Lindsey (1608–1666)
Hon  Sir Roger Bertie (d  15 October 1654), married Ursula Lawley, daughter of Sir Edward Lawley
Hon  Robert Bertie (1 January 1619 – 1708), married firstly Alice Barnard, secondly Elizabeth Bennet, and thirdly Mary Halsey

Capt  Hon  Henry Bertie (d  1643), killed at the First Battle of Newbury
Hon  Vere Bertie, died unmarried
Hon  Edward Bertie (17 October 1624 – 25 December 1686)
Lady Katherine Bertie, married about 1631 Sir William Paston, 1st Baronet, one son, Robert Paston, 1st Earl of Yarmouth
Lady Elizabeth Bertie (d  28 February 1684), married in 1661 Sir Miles Stapleton
Lady Anne Bertie (d  1660), died unmarried
Lady Mary Bertie, married firstly Rev  John Hewett (d  1658), and secondly Sir Abraham Shipman
Lady Sophia Bertie, married Sir Richard ChaworthThe office of Lord Great Chamberlain descended through to him following the death of his cousin Henry de Vere, 18th Earl of Oxford, as being the closest heir male 

Notes
Passage 4:
Montagu Bertie, 2nd Earl of Lindsey
Montagu Bertie, 2nd Earl of Lindsey, KG, PC (1608 – 25 July 1666), was an English soldier, courtier, and politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1624 and 1626  He was created Baron Willoughby de Eresby by writ of acceleration in 1640 and inherited the peerage of Earl of Lindsey in 1642  He fought in the Royalist army in the English Civil War 

Early life
Bertie was born in Grimsthorpe Castle, Grimsthorpe, the eldest son of Robert Bertie, 1st Earl of Lindsey, and his wife Elizabeth Montagu, daughter of Edward Montagu, 1st Baron Montagu of Boughton  After a brief term at Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, in 1623, Bertie then served as Member of Parliament for Lincolnshire in 1624 and Stamford from 1625 to 1626, when, upon his father's elevation to an earldom, he assumed the style of Lord Willoughby de Eresby 
At some point during his early life, he was also Captain of a cavalry troop in the Low Countries  He rose in favour with King Charles I and was appointed a Gentleman of the Privy Chamber, High Steward of Boston, and Steward, Warden and Chief Ranger of Waltham Forest in 1634 In 1639, Willoughby raised The King's Life Guard of Foot, composed of four companies, for service in the First Bishops' War and was given a Captaincy in the regiment  The following year, he was appointed High Steward of the Honour of Bolingbroke and the Manor of Sutton  When the Long Parliament was convened on 3 November 1640, he was summoned to the House of Lords by a writ of acceleration as Baron Willoughby de Eresby  In October 1641, Lord Willoughby and four companions, including Endymion Porter, visited Scotland  Their sight-seeing was recorded in an anonymous poem, A Scottish Journie 

English Civil War
Both Lord Willoughby and his father supported the King and raised a regiment of cavalry in Lincolnshire on his behalf  Lord Willoughby commanded the Life Guards at Edgehill, where his father was mortally wounded by a shot through the thigh  Willoughby surrendered to the Parliamentarians in order to attend his father, whom he now succeeded as Earl of Lindsey and Lord Great Chamberlain  He was imprisoned in Warwick Castle, where he wrote a defiant declaration and justification of his loyalty to the King  He was not released until a prisoner exchange in July 1643, whereupon he rejoined the King at Oxford and was appointed a Privy Counsellor in December  As colonel of the King's Life Guards of Foot and subsequently lieutenant-general of the Life Guards "and all the foot", he fought at the First Battle of Newbury, Cropredy Bridge, Lostwithiel, Second Battle of Newbury, and was wounded at Naseby  In addition to his military services for the King, Lindsey frequently acted as a commissioner to treat with Parliament and persistently urged reconciliation  The King additionally honored Lindsey with the post of Gentleman of the Bedchamber from 1643 until 1649, and Steward, Keeper and Ranger of Woodstock in 1644 Lindsey was present at the surrender of Oxford in June 1646, attended the King in 1647, and finally served as a commissioner for the Treaty of Newport in 1648  He continued to attend the King during his trial and accompanied the King's body to its burial at Windsor  Lindsey paid heavily for his allegiance, compounding for his estates in December 1646 at £4360 (later reduced to £2100), a sum he did not pay off until 1651 

Commonwealth and Restoration
