[6] HENRY, LORD MORDAUNT, _second_ EARL _of_ PETERBOROUGH, was the son and heir of _John, first Earl of Peterborough_, who died in 1642. He raised a regiment, at his own expense, in behalf of King Charles I.; was wounded at the _battle of Newbury_ on the 27th of October, 1644, and in 1648 was concerned, with the _Earl of Holland_, in an attempt to rescue the King from his imprisonment:--the _Earl of Holland_ was taken, and was beheaded in February, 1649; the _Earl of Peterborough_, and his brother _John_, (who was created _Lord Mordaunt_ and _Viscount Avelon_ on the 10th of July, 1659,) escaped, and were voted traitors to the Commonwealth, and their estates were sequestered. The services of the Earl of Peterborough, in support of the royal cause, during the civil wars, entitled him to the favour of King Charles II. at the Restoration; and the Colonelcy of the Queen's regiment of foot, and the governorship of Tangier, were deservedly conferred upon a nobleman who, under the severest trials of his fortitude and consistency, had shown himself a constant and zealous supporter of monarchical government. He was employed in several important situations of trust in the service of King James II., and on the 20th of June, 1685, he was appointed colonel of the 3rd Regiment of Horse, (now the 2nd Dragoon Guards,) from which he was removed at the Revolution in 1688. His lordship died on the 19th of June, 1697, and was succeeded in his titles, &c. by his nephew, CHARLES, _third Earl of Peterborough_, so celebrated in the wars in Spain in the reign of Queen Anne.

[9] Andrew Rutherford, Earl of Teviot, was of a Scotch family, and he commanded a battalion of Scots Guards in the French service for several years. He attained the rank of Lieutenant-General, in France, and enjoyed considerable reputation for his military talents. At the Restoration he accompanied King Charles II. to England, and having been especially recommended to the notice of his sovereign by Louis XIV., was created, in 1661, Lord Rutherford. He was appointed, on the 22nd of May, 1661, to succeed Sir Edward Harley as Governor of Dunkirk, which he held until the place was sold and delivered up to the French in 1662: on the 2nd of February, 1663, he was advanced to the dignity of _Earl of Teviot_. He was killed in an engagement with the Moors on the 4th of May, 1664, as above stated; and dying without issue, his title became extinct.
