Painted in 1739, this portrait of Peregrine Bertie, 13th Lord Willoughby de Eresby, after the picture in the Ancaster Collection, Grimsthorpe Castle, is one of only two known copies made by Francis Hayman. The sitter was the son of Richard Bertie (1517-1582) and his wife, Katherine, Duchess of Suffolk, daughter of William Willoughby, 11th Baron Willoughby de Eresby, whom she succeeded as 12th Baron in her own right. He was born in Wesel, Cleves, while his parents were in exile during the reign of Mary I, returning to England on Elizabeth I’s accession. He married Mary, daughter of John de Vere, 16th Earl of Oxford. Willoughby’s illustrious military career and exceptional powers of leadership on the battle field were celebrated in contemporary verse, including the ballad of ‘Brave Lord Willoughby’.
