Rich, Robert, first earl of Warwick (1559?–1619), nobleman and politician, was the second son of Robert Rich, second Baron Rich (c.1537–1581), and his wife, Elizabeth Baldry (d. 1591). He was baptized in early January 1560.
Lord Burghley, guardian of Robert Devereux, earl of Essex, and Henry Hastings, third earl of Huntingdon, guardian of Essex's sister Penelope (1563–1607) [see Rich, Penelope], swiftly arranged a match: Rich and Penelope were married probably on 1 November 1581.
Rich died on 24 March 1619 at his London mansion, Warwick House, Holborn, and was buried on 7 April at Felsted.[2]
