    1. Henry Earl of Arundel, and Lord Mowbray.

      This is in fact one person: Henry Howard, 6th Duke of Norfolk and 17th Baron of Mowbray (1628-1684). He was the second son of Henry Howard, 22nd Earl of Arundel (a title now united with Norfolk). He had married his mistress, Jane Bickerton, in 1676 or 1677, thus alienating most of his family. He was also Catholic, and a victim of the Popish Plot, but had returned to England in the early 1680s to restart his political career. Behn celebrates him for his--and his family's--Royalist loyalties.
