EARLY MARYLAND'S NARROW ESCAPE
FROM BEING BOSSED BY A POET
,ByB. HOWELL GRISW DIR.
I'm the Baltimore Sunday Sum- April 16, 1889

William Shakespeare, on his way
from Standardization to London,
frequently visited with the Davenants.
He was evidently close friend, for
when young William Davcnant was
baptized at the Crown Inn on March
3, 1906, Shakespeare became his god
father.
However, the statement that he
was the great poets illegitimate son
is generally decried today. The mid
Victorians did not like the idea, and
in "The Lives of the Poets Laureate"
the author brings forward as justiti-
able argument the fine character of
the mother of Davenant, but adds
Tin manner delightfully."- mid-Vic-
torian) that the idea liars with our
well-grounded belief in the irreproach-
able character of our great national
dramatist."
Young Davenant's first attempt at
composition was an lode in Remem-

became too inactive, and his earlier
biographers say that in 1850 Charles
head had fallen and his widow and
his son were in eXile) Davenant PRO
jected a plan for leading a body of
workmen to Virginia, a scheme great
ly encouraged by the Queen.
This is interesting, for it is at this
point, apparently, that we in Mary
land became interested in him. 1t is
evident that his earlier biographies
missed the significance of his voyage.
Present information indicates that if
the copy of the commission of Dave
nant now in possession of the Mary
land Historical Society is correct, the
trip was something more than that
of an adventurer leading a body of
workmen to Virginia. 1t becomes ev-
ident that he was on his way to Mary
land probably by way of Virginia)
to carry out the warrant of his Prince
and patron, and to assert his position
as "Lieutenant-G Governor" of Mary
land.
What were the causes that led to
his appointment by that exile who
already called himself Charles II, al
though his realm refused to admit
him until the Cromwellians were GUST
ed some years later? The best APP

was royalist-Governor who at
tempted to support the crown through
all Of its troubles.
Lord Baltimore, of course, was be-
set with difficulties. He had been a
close friend of Charles |, had obtained
his charter and his rights from him,
had attempted to establish a relig-
ious sanctuary in Maryland, primar-
lily for Roman Catholics, and held
what was in those days a very adj
vanced view-namely, the wisdom of
the separation of State and church.
But during the rapidly changing
scenes in England, the Calverts must
have appeared as somewhat shifty
fellows. All England knew that
George Calvert had been befriended
by Charles |. His son Cecilius, too,

brance of Master William Shakes
peare." He was only fairly well edu-
Gated. He attended the grammar
school Of his native parish, and in
1921 matriculated at Lincoln College,
but did not obtain degree. On leav-
ing the university, he became page to
the famous Frances, Duchess of Rich
mond a romantic creature-whO as
pired to an alliance with the King and
thereafter refused to eat at the table
of a subject.
Later Davenant resided in the
household of Sir Fulke- Greville, Lord
Brooke, the poet and philosopher, and
friend of Sir Philip Sidney. Lord
Brooke, while Davenant was a men,
Der of his household, was stabbed to
death by one of his servants and Dav-
enant was left without money or posi-
ton. He set himself seriously to lit
erary work, became the literary and
fashionable man of his day, and was
constantly about the court. He wrote
many poems Of miscellaneous char
acter, but his. real prediction was for
the theatre. After the death Of Ben
Jonson in 1887, by the Queens aid, he
was made Poet Laureate of England.
But the age was not destined to con-
tinue as one of poetry and plays. The
struggle between the King and Com
mons was approaching crisis and
Davenent, the courtier, naturally al
lied himself with the Kings interest.
Even at this time he was evidently
something more than a versifier and a
man about the courts, for he was ac-
cused in 1641 of sharing in a plot to
induce the army to desert Parliament.
He sought safety in flight, was
brought back to London and released
on bail, second time attempted to
escape and again was captured. Even
tually he managed to evade his jail
ers and joined his friends, Queen Hen
rietta Marie, the young Prince and
their adherents in France.
As the Kings affairs became more
and more menacing Davenant dropped
his pen and picked up the sword. In
September, 1913, after a series of ad-
ventures including imprisonments, re-
leases and escapes, he received the
honor of knighthood for services at
the siege Of Gloucester. Charles for
tunes collapsed and Davenant fled to
France. Yet neither war, nor rumors
of war, nor imprisonments, nor es-
capes, nor adventures with royalty
could stop the flow of his facile pen.
In the army, in prison, in exile, he
poured out his wit, if not his soul, in
plays or in verse.
Still this outlet to emotions could
not wholly satisfy. Life in France

pointed Giles Brent to act for him
during his absence.
In this same significant year (l643)
the Virginia Assembly had passed an
act requiring all ministers to conform
to the orders and constitution Of the
Church of England. As result Lord
Baltimore had extended an invitation
to the Puritans of Virginia to change
their residence and move to Maryland.
The response was not great, but even
tually about 300 of them established
a settlement which they named Provl-
dencc, at the mouth of the Severn at
what is now Eastport.
We now see what Charles II meant
when he charged Lord Baltimore with
having admitted into the Plantations
of Maryland all kinds of schismatics
and sectaries." The adherence to
the Rebels of England" traces to the
fact that in 1919, when news of the
death of Charles | had reached Mary
land, Governor Stone was absent and
Thomas Greene, his appointee and
Vice-Governor, following the example
Of Governor Berkeley of Virginia, pro-
claimed Charles II the lawful sover-
eign; Governor Stone, on his return,
set aside this action and Lord Balti-
more had supported Governor Stone.
And so it was that from the Isle of
Jersey Charles II issued his warrant
to Sir William Davenant. But that
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1933-05-04

great prejudice to our service there
by, and very great danger to Our
Plantations in Virginia, who have car
ried themselves with so much loyalty
and fidelity to the King, our father
of blessed memory, and to US. '""%'
What was the basis of the charge
that he had admitted all kinde of
schismatics and sectaries in" Mary
land? In 1912 the royalist had with
drawn from Parliament and Charles
l had raised his standard at Noting
ham. In 1913 Parliament had passed
an ordinace for the sequestration of
properties of the Kings adherents,
doubtless causing no little uneasiness
in the minds of men like Lord Balti-
more. At all events, we find that
Leonard Calvert himself in this year
had returned to England and had ap-

But the attention of the twenty
year-old eldest Some of the late
King, Charles l." as the Puritans re-
ferred to him, or King Charles H."
as he was known to the royalists, had
not centered alone upon the crown of
England. His attention had been
called to Virginia and Maryland and
moved by what he had heard, he APP
parently determined to attempt to as
sist Governor Berkeley, of Virginia,
who had recognized him as King, and
to avenge himself for what he con-
sidered the disIoyalty of Lord Balti-
more.
1t was worth his while to protect
his loyal followers in Virginia and to
control these two colonies, and for
lack of a better tool, perhaps, he de-
termined to appoint and did appoint
as Lieutenant overnor" of Mary
land, Sir William Davenant, his
friend-an adventurous spirit and a
soldier of fortune. Furthermore, he
intended to make it worth while, for
it was not to be merely ports and
forts that his Governor" was to
command, but Davenant was to be en-
titled to "Soyle and all"
There had been radically varying
views in the American colonies. The
Puritans of New England had con-
tinuously sided with the Puritans Of

proach, of course, is to sum up the
conditions in England and Maryland
at this time
Davenant's commission reads: Civ
en- at our Court in Jersey the GIG
day of February, 1649/50, in the sec
ond Yeare of Our Reigne"; that is
February 16, 1850, by our dating
method. Charles had been beheaded
in January, 1649. Cromwell had later
marched from victory in Ireland, and
the future Charles II had retired to
the Island of Jersey. He was in ne
gotiation with Scotland, urging the
Scotch to a renewed effort to put a
Scotch Stuart back on the throne of
England. The negotiations brought
him to Scotland and to the ill-omened
battlefield of Dunbar and the disaster
at Worcester.

poet-warrior was not destined to see
Maryland. His ship was seized in the
Channel by a Parliamentary man-of-
war, which took the new Governor"
back to the Isle of Wight and thence
to the Tower to await trial for high
treason. One historian pleasantly in
dicates that Henrietta Maria, Queen
of Charles |, was on this vessel with
Davenant on her way to visit the
Neales of Maryland. This is not only
important but delightful-if true
but there seems to be no justification
for the statement.
~**
In London, Davenant was brought
before the Council for trial on the
charge that he and other leading 10y
alists had been concerned in a scheme
to bring a French army to England in
| 1641. Evidently the Council at the
! time did not know of the Kings COM
mission to Davenant and that they
had before them the Kings Governor
of Maryland"
His case coming up before a some
what tolerant committee of Parlia-
ment, as a wit of the day remarked,
/ they gave him "the noes Of the House
! because he had no nose of his
own"-a reference to the deplorable
! fact that Davenant's nose, whether
due to a wound or to disease, was a
matter for jest Still he was kept in
prison.
! In November, 1862. however, the
/ commission to him as Maryland Gov
ernor' came to light, but the Council,
after consideration, did no worse than
return him to prison In 1854 he made
an appeal to the protector to consider
his case as a whole, and he was re-
leased June %, 1865. Gosse says it
/ is believed that the personal inter-
cession of Milton led to this result.
( Another account is that he was re-
! leased DN tHC uGSlIe Vi lNO fAiuSEIleH
of York, once Davenant's prisoners,
whom he had allowed to escape.
/ However, he was released and short
ly thereafter published "Gondibert,"
the work on which his fame mainly
rests. He gayly renewed his interest
/ in the theatre despite the continued
reign of the Puritans. Somehow, in
deed he persuaded the Government to
permit him to open Rutland House in
/ Charter House Yard-not to the hated
/ plays" but to representation"
which the ingenious Sir William called
operas" as term which even Pur-
itan could not regard as frivolous.
Thus was the word first introduced
into the English language as applica-
/ bic to a stage performance.
Instead of lodging trouble there
after, in 1859 Davenant again found

had proclaimed his loyalty, but later
in the presentation of his Cease Con-
corning the Province of Maryland"
Cecilius asserted his loyalty, not to
the King, but to the Commonwealth,
and added: 1T is VIGOROUSLY known
that, by his lord Baltimore's) ex-
press direction, his officers and the
people there did adhere to the inter-
est CT the Commonwealth. when all
other English Plantations Except
New England) declared against the
Parliament" He adds, as an argument
persuasive to a Puritan Parliament,
that he chad received their friends in
time of their distresse." SO much for
adherence to the Commonwealth.
But this view of the Lords Balti-
more as "shifty" politicians does not
do them justice. 1t overlooks, as has
been indicated, what was perhaps
their main purpose, namely, that Ma
ryland was to be LAND of sanctuary
for men of all crecds."
-
What were the "acts of disloyalty'
on the part of Lord Baltimore of
which Charles II complained? They
are cited in the commission which he
issued to Davenant. They referred
to Lord Baltim0re's "visible adher-
ence to the Rebels of England" his
admission of all kinds of schismatics
and sectaries *"%into the Plantations
of Maryland" and finally "the very
