Sir Orlando Bridgeman (1606-1674): A Distinguished Statesman and Lord Keeper This evocative portrait captures the enigmatic and sophisticated presence of Sir Orlando Bridgeman, an influential figure in English politics during the mid-seventeenth century. Born in 1606, Bridgeman rose to prominence as a statesman and lawyer, serving as Lord Keeper from 1662 until his death in 1674. The image of Sir Orlando Bridgeman, as depicted in this print from Mary Evans Prints Online, reveals a man of refined sensibilities and intellectual depth. His piercing gaze and well-groomed appearance suggest a man of great intelligence and determination. The intricate lace collar and elaborate ruff collar, fashionable attire for the time, further underscore his status as a man of wealth and influence. Bridgeman's political career began in earnest under the Commonwealth, serving as Solicitor General and then Attorney General under Oliver Cromwell. However, he later switched allegiances and became a prominent figure in the Restoration court of King Charles II. Bridgeman's tenure as Lord Keeper was marked by his efforts to restore order and stability to the English legal system, which had been disrupted by the political upheavals of the previous decades. Despite his close association with the monarchy, Bridgeman remained an independent voice in the court, using his position to advocate for the rule of law and the protection of individual rights. His commitment to these principles earned him both admirers and enemies, and he faced numerous challenges during his time in office. This portrait of Sir Orlando Bridgeman serves as a reminder of the complex political landscape of seventeenth-century England and the remarkable individuals who shaped its history. With his sharp intellect, unwavering commitment to the law, and unyielding determination, Bridgeman left an indelible mark on the English political scene, making him a figure worthy of study and admiration.
