Trumbull was a protégé of Sir Thomas Edmondes , and succeeded him as resident [ambassador] to the court of the Archduke Albert of Austria, regent of the Netherlands, in Brussels in 1609. He remained there for 16 years, although he was appointed to an ordinary clerkship to the Privy Council in Feb. 1614. Much of his correspondence survives.
