Hyde, Sir Edward ; cr. Earl Clarendon ; Ld. Chanc. (Chas. II.)
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 I., 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.

S. Henry, 2d Earl, Lord Privy Seal.

and honesty.
[S.] Anne, married to the Duke of York, afterwards James II. 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.
