John Pawlet, Marquesse of Winchester, Earle of Wiltshire and Lord St John of Basing       View larger image (Estimated download time 12 secs with a 56k modem) Brief Description: Portrait of John Paulet, 5th Marquis of Winchester by Wenceslaus Hollar, about 1645. Subject Date: About 1645 Creator: Wenceslaus Hollar Owner: Hampshire Library and Information Service Contributor: Hampshire Library and Information Service   Full Description: The descriptive catalogue of the etched works of Hollar, by Richard Pennington (1982) describes this small oval: "Half right; with long hair and moustache and imperial. He wears a white collar with a scalloped lace edge over a doublet with eight buttons down the centre. Unsigned." John Paulet is famed as the royalist and Catholic peer who, in the Civil War, held his castle of Basing House for three years against the Parliamentary forces before being stormed on 16 October 1645. Hollar is erroneously often listed among the defenders. John Paulet (1598-1675) was created Baron St John in 1624, became captain of Netley Abbey in 1626 and succeeded to the marquisate in 1629, becoming also keeper of Pamber Forest. Basing House was his chief seat: on every pane of glass in the house he had etched with a diamond "Aimez Loyaute" as a sign of his loyalty to the king. At the end of the Civil War siege, Paulet was taken prisoner, charged with high treason, and his estates sequestered. After the Restoration of Charles II in 1660, he retired to his restored estates at Englefield, Berkshire, where he died on 5 March 1675, the premier marquis of England.   Collection: The Hampshire Collection Place: Old Basing, Hampshire Subject: portrait, Civil War, Basing House, siege, Netley Castle, Pamber Forest, Englefield Name Subject: John Paulet, John Pawlet, 5th Marquis of Winchester, Earl of Wiltshire, Lord St John, Lord St John of Basing, Baron St John Content Type: Print Location: Winchester Library - Jewry Street Local Ref: H 15 P; 361 Unique ID: hs-hl-hs6310-i-00-000.jpg
