Sackville, Thomas

    0.04 sec.

Sackville, Thomas (1536-1608)

English poet and politician. He collaborated with Thomas Norton on Ferrex and Porrex (1561), afterwards called Gorboduc. Written in blank verse, this was one of the earliest English tragedies. He also contributed to the influential Mirror for Magistrates, intended as a continuation of John Lydgate's Fall of Princes. An influential figure in Elizabeth I's last years, he held offices of Privy Councillor, Lord Steward, and Lord Treasurer.

He was born in Buckhurst, Sussex, educated at Oxford and Cambridge, and studied law in London. He was made Baron Buckhurst in 1567 and Earl in 1604.
