The regiment served as a second regiment of foot guards, mirroring the form and function of Lord Wentworth's Regiment.

Upon the death of Lord Wentworth in 1665, the two regiments were amalgamated into the 1st Regiment of Foot Guards.

In 1550, Lord Wentworth was appointed Lord Chamberlain to Edward VI and died the following year.

Lord Wentworth had no legitimate male and on his death in 1815 the viscountcy and baronetcy became extinct.

Massively outnumbered and poorly provisioned, the English governor, Lord Wentworth held out until the following morning before surrendering.

Next morning the bill was discovered and taken to Lord Wentworth, who was to conduct the examination, and he answered that 'the bill was good counsel.'

After the fall of that garrison, he joined the King's Main Field Army, and as Lord Wentworth, raised a company of dragoons.

When Lord Wentworth died, a few months after Anne Isabella's marriage to Lord Byron, her mother was co-heiress of the estate in abeyance.

An unqualified reference to Lord Wentworth would usually mean:

Lord Wentworth, the governor of the city, and the English inhabitants of Calais and Guines returned to England.
