George Calvert, who had been one of the origi nal associates of the London Company, and later of the governing council, and who four years sub sequently was elevated to the Irish peerage with the title of Baron Baltimore, was then Secretary of State and one of James''s most intimate favourites, owing doubtless to his Spanish leanings.
