Philip Herbet, Earl of Pembroke (1584-1650) became Lord Lieutenant of Kent and member of the privy council in 1624. Pembroke had close ties with the crown established during James I's reign - James had paid off Pembroke's gambling debts and made him a Knight of the Garter and high steward of Oxford. Pembroke and his older brother, William were active literary patrons, and "the incomparable pair of brethren" to whom the First Folio of Shakespeare's works was dedicated.
Mildmay and Holland were declared regicides on Charles I's death.
