Sidney, Algernon (1622–83), the grandnephew of Sir P.
Sidney, took up arms against Charles I and was wounded at Marston Moor. He was employed on government service until the Restoration, but his firm republicanism aroused
Cromwell's hostility. At the Restoration he refused to give pledges to Charles II, and lived abroad in poverty and exile until 1677. He was imprisoned in the Tower after the discovery of the Rye House plot, and condemned to death without adequate evidence, though there was little doubt of his guilt. His
Discourses Concerning Government were published in 1698, and a treatise on
Love in 1884.
