(Sir Charles Sedley (March 1639 - August 20, 1701), Englis...)
Sir Charles Sedley (March 1639 - August 20, 1701), English wit and dramatist, was the son of Sir John Sedley of Aylesford in Kent. He was member of parliament for New Romney in Kent, and took an active and useful part in politics. A speech of his on the civil list after the Revolution is cited by Macaulay as a proof that his reputation as a man of wit and ability was deserved. His bon mot at the expense of James II is well known. The king had seduced his daughter and created her countess of Dorchester, whereupon Sedley remarked that he hated ingratitude, and, as the king had made his daughter a countess, he would endeavour to make the king's daughter a queen.
