Francis Bacon, 1st Viscount St. Alban, Kt., KC ( 22 January 1561 – 9 April 1626 ) was an English philosopher, statesman, scientist, jurist, and author.

Bacon was knighted in 1603, and created both the Baron Verulam in 1618 and the Viscount St. Alban in 1621 ; as he died without heirs, both peerages became extinct upon his death.

Bacon was born on 22 January 1561 at York House near the Strand in London, the son of Sir Nicholas Bacon by his second wife Anne ( Cooke ) Bacon, the daughter of noted humanist Anthony Cooke.

Biographers believe that Bacon was educated at home in his early years owing to poor health ( which plagued him throughout his life ), receiving tuition from John Walsall, a graduate of Oxford with a strong leaning towards Puritanism.

When the Attorney-Generalship fell vacant in 1594, Lord Essex's influence was not enough to secure Bacon that office.

In 1598 Bacon was arrested for debt.

With others, Bacon was appointed to investigate the charges against Essex, his former friend and benefactor.

Bacon was subsequently a part of the legal team headed by Attorney General Sir Edward Coke at Essex's treason trial.

After the execution, the Queen ordered Bacon to write the official government account of the trial, which was later published as A DECLARATION of the Practices and Treasons attempted and committed by Robert late Earle of Essex and his Complices, against her Majestie and her Kingdoms ... after Bacon's first draft was heavily edited by the Queen and her ministers.

According to his personal secretary and chaplain, William Rawley, as a judge Bacon was always tender-hearted, " looking upon the examples with the eye of severity, but upon the person with the eye of pity and compassion ".

In 1613, Bacon was finally appointed attorney general, after advising the king to shuffle judicial appointments.

Bacon continued to use his influence with the king to mediate between the throne and Parliament and in this capacity he was further elevated in the same peerage, as Viscount St Alban, on 27 January 1621.

There seems little doubt that Bacon had accepted gifts from litigants, but this was an accepted custom of the time and not necessarily evidence of deeply corrupt behaviour.

Bacon has been accused of servility, of dissimulation, of various base motives, and their filthy brood of base actions, all unworthy of his high birth, and incompatible with his great wisdom, and the estimation in which he was held by the noblest spirits of the age.

When he was 36, Bacon engaged in the courtship of Elizabeth Hatton, a young widow of 20.

When Bacon was appointed Lord Chancellor, " by special Warrant of the King ", Lady Bacon was given precedence over all other Court ladies.
