Biography


Cotterell was born on 7 April 1615 in Wilsford, Lincolnshire, England. He is the son of Sir Clement Cotterell (1585–1631) and Anne Alleyne (d. 1660). Sir Clement was appointed as muster-master of Buckinghamshire in 1616 and groom-porter to James I in 1619, and was knighted in 1620.[1]


Cotterell attended Queens' College, Cambridge in 1629. He completed one more year at university but did not take any degree. In June 1632 he began touring Europe with aristocratic friends. On his second tour the death of Charles of Pembroke resulted in an early return to England and enlistment in Charles's father's service in 1636. Cotterell served the Earl of Pembroke under courtly and military service until knighted in Oxford in 1645.[1]


In Oxford, Cotterell collaborated with William Aylesbury in translating Davila's Storia delle guerre civile at the request of the king. This was published in 1647. In March 1649, after the king's execution, Cotterell, along with his wife and elder daughter, accompanied Aylesbury and the Duke of Buckingham into exile in Antwerp.


By 1652 Cotterell had moved to The Hague as steward to Elizabeth Stuart, Queen of Bohemia, while completing a translation of La Calprenède's Cassandre. After resigning his stewardship in September 1655, Cotterell was appointed an adviser to the Duke of Gloucester, under whom he fought in three campaigns in Flanders.[1]


On 29 May 1660 Cotterell returned with the royal party to London, where he was sworn master of the ceremonies on 5 June. The pursuit of a young widow, Anne Owen, after the death of Frances his wife in 1657, led Cotterell to form a friendship with Katherine Phillips, whose husband was the MP for Cardigan. Phillips was a young poet known in her salon as Orinda. Cotterell became a major figure in Orinda's literary circle. She dubbed him Poliarchus, after a character in Barclay's Argenis.Cotterell later took Phillips's seat in Parliament.[1]


Sir Charles Cotterell resigned his seat on 27 December 1686 in favour of his son Charles Lodowick. His last years were quiet. He died on 7 June 1701.[1]
