Killigrew

Killigrew, William, Thomas, and Henry, three brothers, sons of Sir Robert Killigrew, who suffered much in the cause of Charles I., but were amply recompensed after the Restoration. Both Sir William (1606-95) and Thomas (1612-83), who from his familiarity with Charles II. became known as the "king's jester," were dramatists of note in their day. Henry's daughter was the "Mistress Anne Killigrew" (1660-85) of Dryden's elegy, "excellent in the two sister arts of poetry and painting."
