==== Richard Lovelace was born in 1618, however, the exact location of his birth is unknown. He was born into a Kentish family, the majority of whom was involved in the military lifestyle. His father, Sir William Lovelace was honored by King James I with knighthood for his service in the Low Countires. Together, Sir William Lovelace and his wife, Anne Barne Lovelace had eight children, with Richard Lovelace being the eldest. When Lovelace was just eleven years old, he attended Sutton’s Foundation at Charterhouse School. He spent five years here before being appointed as a "Gentleman Wayter Extraordinary" to the King. His time spent at the Charterhouse is questioned because there is no record of his attendance due to the fact that he did not need financial assistance to remain a student. ==== ==== After being appointed as a “Gentleman Wayter Extraordinary” to the King, Lovelace went on to study at the University of Oxford. He achieved the Master of Arts degree at Oxford when he was just eighteen years old. Defining himself as a Cavalier poet, he focused greatly on the emotional aspect of humanity, including love and relationships. Following his time at the University of Oxford, Lovelace continued his studies at the University of Cambridge. This was only the beginning of a period of trouble for Lovelace, specifically with his introduction to a man named Lord Goring. ====
