The son of <a href="/wiki/Edmund_Dudley" title="Edmund Dudley">Edmund Dudley</a>, a minister of <a href="/wiki/Henry_VII_of_England" title="Henry VII of England">Henry VII</a> executed by <a href="/wiki/Henry_VIII" title="Henry VIII">Henry VIII</a>, John Dudley became the <a href="/wiki/Ward_(law)" title="Ward (law)">ward</a> of <a href="/wiki/Sir_Edward_Guildford" class="mw-redirect" title="Sir Edward Guildford">Sir Edward Guildford</a> at the age of seven. Dudley grew up in Guildford's household together with his future wife, Guildford's daughter <a href="/wiki/Jane_Dudley,_Duchess_of_Northumberland" title="Jane Dudley, Duchess of Northumberland">Jane</a>, with whom he was to have 13 children. Dudley served as Vice-Admiral and <a href="/wiki/Lord_Admiral" class="mw-redirect" title="Lord Admiral">Lord Admiral</a> from 1537 until 1547, during which time he set novel standards of navy organisation and was an innovative commander at sea. He also developed a strong interest in <a href="/wiki/Age_of_Discovery" title="Age of Discovery">overseas exploration</a>. Dudley took part in the 1544 campaigns in Scotland and France and was one of Henry VIII's intimates in the last years of the reign. He was also a leader of the religious reform party at court. In 1547, Dudley was created <a href="/wiki/Earl_of_Warwick" title="Earl of Warwick">Earl of Warwick</a> and, with the <a href="/wiki/Edward_Seymour,_1st_Duke_of_Somerset" title="Edward Seymour, 1st Duke of Somerset">Duke of Somerset</a>, England's <a href="/wiki/Lord_Protector" title="Lord Protector">Lord Protector</a>, distinguished himself in the renewed <a href="/wiki/Rough_Wooing" title="Rough Wooing">Scottish war</a> at the <a href="/wiki/Battle_of_Pinkie_Cleugh" class="mw-redirect" title="Battle of Pinkie Cleugh">Battle of Pinkie Cleugh</a>. During the country-wide uprisings of 1549 Dudley put down <a href="/wiki/Kett%27s_Rebellion" title="Kett's Rebellion">Kett's Rebellion</a> in Norfolk. Convinced of the Protector's incompetence, he and other privy councillors forced Somerset out of office in October 1549. Having averted a conservative reaction in religion and a plot to destroy him alongside Somerset, Dudley emerged in early 1550 as de facto <a href="/wiki/Regent" title="Regent">regent</a> for the 12-year-old Edward VI. He reconciled himself with Somerset, who nevertheless soon began to intrigue against him and his policies. Somerset was executed on largely fabricated charges, three months after Dudley had been raised to the <a href="/wiki/Dukedom_of_Northumberland" class="mw-redirect" title="Dukedom of Northumberland">Dukedom of Northumberland</a> in October 1551. As <a href="/wiki/Lord_President_of_the_Council" title="Lord President of the Council">Lord President of the Council</a>, Dudley headed a distinctly <a href="/wiki/Privy_Council_of_England" title="Privy Council of England">conciliar</a> government and sought to introduce the adolescent King into business. Taking over an almost bankrupt administration, he ended the costly wars with France and Scotland and tackled finances in ways that led to some economic recovery. To prevent further uprisings he introduced countrywide policing on a local basis, appointing <a href="/wiki/Lord-lieutenant" title="Lord-lieutenant">lord-lieutenants</a> who were in close contact with the central authority. Dudley's religious policy was — in accordance with Edward's religion — decidedly Protestant, further enforcing the <a href="/wiki/English_Reformation" title="English Reformation">English Reformation</a> and promoting radical reformers to high Church positions. The 15-year-old King fell ill in early 1553 and excluded his half-sisters, <a href="/wiki/Mary_I_of_England" title="Mary I of England">Mary</a> and <a href="/wiki/Elizabeth_I" title="Elizabeth I">Elizabeth</a>, whom he regarded as <a href="/wiki/Legitimacy_(family_law)" title="Legitimacy (family law)">illegitimate</a>, from the succession, designating non-existent, hypothetical male heirs. As his death approached, Edward changed his will so that his Protestant cousin <a href="/wiki/Lady_Jane_Grey" title="Lady Jane Grey">Lady Jane Grey</a>, Northumberland's daughter-in-law, could inherit the Crown. To what extent the Duke influenced this scheme is uncertain. The traditional view is that it was Northumberland's plot to maintain his power by placing his family on the throne. Many historians see the project as genuinely Edward's, enforced by Dudley after the King's death. The Duke did not prepare well for this occasion. Having marched to <a href="/wiki/East_Anglia" title="East Anglia">East Anglia</a> to capture Mary, he surrendered on hearing that the Privy Council had changed sides and proclaimed Mary as queen. Convicted of <a href="/wiki/Treason" title="Treason">high treason</a>, Northumberland returned to Catholicism and abjured the Protestant faith before his execution on 22 August 1553. Having secured the contempt of both religious camps, popularly hated, and a natural scapegoat, he became the "wicked Duke" — in contrast to his predecessor Somerset, the "good Duke". Only since the 1970s has he also been seen as a <a href="/wiki/House_of_Tudor" title="House of Tudor">Tudor</a> Crown servant: self-serving, inherently loyal to the incumbent monarch, and an able statesman in difficult times. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Career_under_Henry_VIII">Career under Henry VIII</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=John_Dudley,_1st_Duke_of_Northumberland&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Career under Henry VIII">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Coat_of_arms_of_Sir_John_Dudley,_1st_Duke_of_Northumberland,_KG_(cropped).png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/24/Coat_of_arms_of_Sir_John_Dudley%2C_1st_Duke_of_Northumberland%2C_KG_%28cropped%29.png/175px-Coat_of_arms_of_Sir_John_Dudley%2C_1st_Duke_of_Northumberland%2C_KG_%28cropped%29.png" decoding="async" width="175" height="286" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/24/Coat_of_arms_of_Sir_John_Dudley%2C_1st_Duke_of_Northumberland%2C_KG_%28cropped%29.png/263px-Coat_of_arms_of_Sir_John_Dudley%2C_1st_Duke_of_Northumberland%2C_KG_%28cropped%29.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/24/Coat_of_arms_of_Sir_John_Dudley%2C_1st_Duke_of_Northumberland%2C_KG_%28cropped%29.png/350px-Coat_of_arms_of_Sir_John_Dudley%2C_1st_Duke_of_Northumberland%2C_KG_%28cropped%29.png 2x" data-file-width="653" data-file-height="1066" /></a><figcaption>Garter-encircled Arms of John Dudley as Duke of Northumberland (<a class="external text" href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Arms%20of%20Sir%20John%20Dudley,%201st%20Duke%20of%20Northumberland,%20KG.svg">SVG version available here</a>)</figcaption></figure> John Dudley was the eldest of three sons of <a href="/wiki/Edmund_Dudley" title="Edmund Dudley">Edmund Dudley</a>, a <a href="/wiki/Privy_Council" class="mw-redirect" title="Privy Council">councillor</a> of <a href="/wiki/Henry_VII_of_England" title="Henry VII of England">Henry VII</a>, and his second wife <a href="/wiki/Elizabeth_Grey,_6th_Baroness_Lisle" title="Elizabeth Grey, 6th Baroness Lisle">Elizabeth Grey</a>, daughter of <a href="/wiki/Edward_Grey,_1st_Viscount_Lisle" title="Edward Grey, 1st Viscount Lisle">Edward Grey, 1st Viscount Lisle</a>.<a href="#cite_note-2">[2]</a> His father was <a href="/wiki/Attainted" class="mw-redirect" title="Attainted">attainted</a> and executed for <a href="/wiki/High_treason" class="mw-redirect" title="High treason">high treason</a> in 1510, having been arrested immediately after <a href="/wiki/Henry_VIII" title="Henry VIII">Henry VIII</a>'s accession because the new king needed <a href="/wiki/Scapegoating" title="Scapegoating">scapegoats</a> for his predecessor's unpopular financial policies.<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a> In 1512, the seven-year-old John became the <a href="/wiki/Ward_(law)" title="Ward (law)">ward</a> of <a href="/wiki/Sir_Edward_Guildford" class="mw-redirect" title="Sir Edward Guildford">Sir Edward Guildford</a> and was taken into his household.<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a> At the same time Edmund Dudley's attainder was lifted and John Dudley was restored "in name and blood".
