The Hydes were a very able family both in law and state for many generations; but emerging, as they did, out of the regions of competition into that of favouritism, I cannot rightly appraise their merits. Moreover, the male line became extinct. The following are the near relations of the Lord Chancellor :— U. Sir Nicholas Hyde, Ch. K. B. (Charles I.) U. Sir Lawrence Hyde, a great lawyer and Attorney-General to Consort of James L, who had eleven sons, most of whom distinguished themselves in their several vocations. Of these are : US. Sir Robert Hyde, Ch. K. B. (Charles II.) US. Sir Frederick Hyde, a judge in S. Wales. US. Alexander, Bishop of Salisbury. [US.] Fellow of New College, and Judge of the Admiralty. [US.] Dean of Windsor. [US.] James, Principal of Magdalen Hall. S. Henry, 2d Earl, Lord Privy Seal. S. Lawrence, cr. Earl of Rochester, Lord Lieut, of Ireland, a person of great natural parts and honesty. \SP\ Anne, married to the Duke of York, afterwards James 11. A woman of strong character, who insisted, in spite of menace, that publicity should be given to the marriage, let the consequences be what they might.
