Notes Algernon Percy, 10th Earl of Northumberland (1602-1668), a moderate Parliamentarian, was entrusted with the care of Charles l's children in 1645, and played a prominent part in the restoration of the monarchy. He married twice; first to a daughter of the Cecil family, in spite of his father's deep disapproval, who said that 'the blood of Percy would not mix with the blood of Cecil if you poured it on a dish'.' The marriage produced five daughters, and the wife died. His second wife was a daughter of the Howards; through this marriage he and his descendants gained possession of Northampton House (built by Henry Howard, Earl of Northampton), subsequently known as Northumberland House, and occupying a prize position where Northumberland Avenue now runs, from the river to 'Trafalgar Square. This second marriage produced one son, the 11th Earl.
