Henry Roberts (fl. 1606)

Henry Roberts (fl. 1606) was an English writer and poet. His works are all of extreme rarity, may be identical with the "Henrie Roberts, one of the sworne esquires" of Queen Elizabeth and envoy from her highness to "Mully Hamet, emperour of Marocco and king of Fes", in 1585, whose embassy is recounted in Richard Hakluyt's Voyages (1589, pp. 237–9). He was subsequently attached to the court of James I, and was present at the festivities upon the occasion of the visit of Christian IV of Denmark to England in 1606.
