The President and Committee of the Tudor Exhibition have every reason to congratulate themselves on the way irf which their applications have' been received by those who are fortunate enough to possess pictures and relics relating to a most interesting period in the history of these kingdoms. Their first duty and pleasure is to offer their most grateful thanks to all those who have so kindly responded to their call, and have rendered the Exhibition possible by intrusting their valuable possessions to their care. It is impossible to exaggerate the debt of gratitude which the Committee owe to the Lenders of the objects of which this is the Catalogue. The Committee have to thank Mr. H. A. Grueber for his notes and description of the pictures and personal relics, and for the invaluable assistance he has afforded in the general organization of the Exhibition, and Mr. G. Scharf, C.B., for his most kind assistance in the selection of the more important historical portraits. They also have to thank Mr. H. Jenner, the Hon. Harold Dillon, Mr. Leonard Lindsay, VI Prefatory Note. Baron de Cosson, Mr. H. Montagu, Mr. W. St. John Hope, and Mr. R. R. Holmes, for the portions of the Catalogue relating to coins and medals, manuscripts and printed books, arms and armour, plate and seals, and miniatures, and for their general services in the classification and arrangement of the objects of exhibition. Thanks are also due to Mr. Lionel Cust, Mr. F. M. O'Donoghue, Mr. I. Spielman, Mrs. H. A. Grueber, and Mrs. H. Jenner, for assistance in the arrangement of the Exhibition ; and to the Hon. Harold Dillon, the Secretary of the Tudor Exhibition, for his continued and valuable services in every department. The Exhibition will remain open to the public till the 6th April, from 10 to 6 daily.

Henry VII,, son of Edmund Tudor, Earl of Richmond (son of Owen Tudor and Katherine of France), and Margaret, dau. of John Beaufort, Duke of Somerset, and great grand-daughter of John of Gaunt, fourth son of Edward III., born at Pembroke Castle, July 26, 1455 ; proclaimed King by Sit William Stanley on the Field of Bosworth immediately after the battle, August 22, 1485; crowned October 30, ensuing; died at Richmond, April 21, 1509, and was buried in his own chapel at Westminster. He married, January 18, i486, Princess Elizabeth Plantagenet, eldest daughter and heiress of Edward IV., who died February 11, 1503. 1. Margaret Beaufort, Countess of Richmond and Derby (1441-1509). Bust, towards left, red square-cut dress, white chemise with gold and jewelled edging, diamond-shaped black hood with gold embroidery ; pearl necklace : inscription on background. Panel \\h X 10.^ in. B 2 Exhibition of the Royal House of Tudor. Margaret Beaufort, Countess of Richmond and Derby, known as "The Lady Margaret," the only dau. and heiress of John Beaufort, Duke of Somerset, great grandson of Edward III. and Margaret Beauchamp, was born at Bletsoe, in Bedfordshire, in 1441, and at the age of fourteen was married to Edmund Tudor, Earl of Richmond (son of Owen Tudor and Katherine of France, and half-brother of Henry VI.), by whom she had one son, after- wards Henry VII. On the death of her husband, November 3, 1456, she married Sir Henry Stafford, son of the Duke of Buckingham, by whom she had no issue. She next married Thomas Lord Stanley, created Earl of Derby in 1485, who died before her in 1504. Margaret died June 21, 1509, just two months after Henry VII., and was buried in his chapel at Westminster. Lady Margaret was an accomplished woman, and translated The Mirroure of Golde to a Sinfull Soul, and also the fourth book of the Imitatio Christi ; but she has perpetuated her name principally by her foundation of St. John's and Christ's Colleges, Cambridge, and of a divinity professor- ship richly endowed. After she had married her third husband, the Earl of Derby, she engaged herself in religious vows, which is the reason of her being painted in the habit of a nun. Lent by G.

Elizabeth of York, Queen of Henry VII. (1465-1509). Small bust, to left, showing left hand, red velvet dress trimmed with jewels and ermine, black diamond-shaped head-dress trimmed with gold and jewels ; pearl neck- lace, jewel pendant. Panel 15 X 11 in. Elizabeth Plantagenet, Queen of Henry VII., called the M White Rose of York," the eldest child of Edward IV. and Elizabeth Woodville, born at Westminster Palace, February II, 1465, was betrothed to Henry VI L, then Earl of Richmond, in 1483, but the marriage was not solemnized till January 18, i486, and her coronation was deferred till November 25, 1488, to the disgust of the adherents of her family. She died in the Tower of London on her birthday, February II, 1503, and nine days after the birth of her child, Catherine. She bore the character of being gentle and good, and her effigy in Westminster bears testimony to her beauty. Bacon tells us that "the King all his lifetime showed himself no indulgent husband towards her ; but that his aversion towards the house of York was so predominant in him, as it found place not only in his wars and councils, but also in his chamber and bed." Lent by Christ Church, Oxford. WEST GALLERY.] Portraits. 3 5. Mary Tudor, Dowager Queen of France, afterwards Duchess of Suffolk (1497-1534). Half-length, life-size, towards right, square-cut grey gown edged with pearls, under- sleeves embroidered with the Tudor rose, diamond-shaped jewelled cloth of gold hood with black veil ; necklace of pearls and diamonds ; jewel on breast with pendent pearl ; hands rest on ledge ; in right, apple. Panel ii\ X 18 in. Mary Tudor, dau. of Henry VII. and Elizabeth of York, born in 1497, was noted for her beauty, gentleness of disposition, and vivacity of manner. At an early age she was affianced to Prince Charles of Castile, but the engagement was broken off in 1513, and in the following year she was married to Louis XII. of France, who was as near as possible three times her age. Louis having survived his marriage but a few months, she privately espoused Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, with whom it is said she fell in love for his bravery at the tourney in honour of her coronation. In April, 151 5, they were publicly married at Greenwich in the presence of Henry VIII., who at the first intelligence of the secret union had affected great displeasure. We know little of the subsequent history of Mary, who died January 23, 1534, at the age of 37. She had by her second marriage one son and one daughter, Henry, Earl of Lincoln, and Frances, mother of Lady Jane Grey. By Johannes Corvus. Lent by Mrs. Dent of Sudeley. 6. Henry VII. (1485-1509).

Within a prison, half-length, seated figure to right, black fur-lined dress and cap ; over shoulders massive gold chain ; in left hand folded paper : before him is seated a cat drawing a pigeon through the grating of a window. Canvas 29 x 24 in. Sir Henry Wyat, of Allington Castle, in Kent, was in his early youth imprisoned in the Tower by Richard III., for his adhesion to Henry, Earl of Richmond, afterwards Henry VII. During his confinement there he suffered much from hunger and cold, and is said to have been preserved by a cat which fed him with pigeons (see No. 21). On the accession of Henry VII. he was knighted and made a Privy Councillor. One of the last services in which he was employed by that king was conducting to the Tower the unfortunate Earl of Suffolk, who was afterwards beheaded by Henry VIII. He was also a member of Henry VIII.'s Privy Council, Master of the Jewel-Office, and served in the vanguard at the Battle of the Spurs. He died Nov. 10, 1537. He married Anne, dau. of John Skinner, and was the father of Sir Thomas Wyat the poet. Lent by The Earl of Romnev. B 2 4 Exhibition of the Royal Hottse of Tudor. 8. Thomas Stanley ist Earl of Derby, K.G. (d. 1504). Bust, to right, life-size ; black doublet with jewelled buttons, white ruff, black cap ; collar of the Garter with George ; right hand holding white staff. Panel 19 X 14 in. Thomas Stanley, ist Earl of Derby, eldest son of Thomas, ist Lord Stanley, was first summoned to Parliament among the Barons, May 24, 1461, about which time he married Eleanor, dau. of Richard Neville, Earl of Salisbury. In 1482 he went with the Duke of Gloucester to Scotland, and having command of the right wing of his army, took Berwick by assault. The next year he was constituted Constable of England for life, and elected a K.G. Having married as his second wife, Margaret of Lancaster, widow of Edmund Tudor, Earl of Richmond, and mother of Henry VII., he joined the latter on his landing in England, was present at the battle of Bosworth Field, and placed on his head the crown, presenting him as Henry VII. For these services Stanley was advanced to the dignity of Earl of Derby, October 14, 1485, and appointed one of the Commissioners for executing the office of Lord High Steward on the day of the coronation. He died in 1504, and was succeeded by his grandson, Thomas Stanley. Lent by The Earl of Derby, K.G. 9. John Colet, Dean of St. Paul's (1466-15 19).

John Colet, son of Sir Henry Colet, twice Lord Mayor, was born in London in 1466, and educated at Magdalen College, Oxford, where he was marked for his proficiency as a Latin scholar. From 1485 to 1497 he travelled in France and Italy, made the acquaintance of Budaeus and Erasmus, the latter esteeming him so highly that he called him " his master." During his absence he was made a prebendary of York and canon of St. Martin's-le-Grand, and on his return in 1497, passed several years at Oxford, where he gave lectures in divinity, and in August, 1505, was appointed Dean of St. Paul's. He founded St. Paul's School, of which he appointed William Lilly first master in 15 12. In 1 5 19 he was seized with the sweating sickness, and dying on September 16 of that year, was buried in the choir of St. Paul's. By Jan de Mabuse. Lent by The Duke of Manchester, K.P. IO.

View of the interior of a church j on the right, under the arch of a screen, stands Henry VII. in royal robes, crowned, and holding sceptre in right hand ; on his right is a figure in ecclesiastical dress holding a cross, supposed to be Cardinal Bourchier, Archbishop of Canterbury, who officiated at both his coronation and marriage ; on the left of the picture, also under a screen, stands Elizabeth of York, wearing a white dress, ornamented with roses, and cap ; near her is St. Thomas (?), holding a spear. Through the arches on either side are seen landscapes. Panel, 545 X 42} in. This picture was in the Strawberry Hill Collection, and was bought at the sale, in 1842, by J. C. Dent, Esq. Walpole (Anecdotes), in describing the picture, says, " The only work besides that (the portrait of the Three Children of Henry VII. , No. 19) I know of this master in England, is a celebrated picture in my possession. It was bought for ,£200 by Henrietta Louisa, Countess of Pomfret, and hung for some years at their seat at Easton Neston in Northamptonshire, whence it was sold after the late Earl's death. The Earl of Oxford once offered ^500 for it. It is painted on board, and is four feet six inches and three quarters wide, by three feet six inches and three quarters high. It represents the inside of a church, an imaginary one, not at all resembling the abbey where those princes were married. The perspective and the landscape of the country on each side are good. On one hand, on the foreground, stand the king and the bishop of Mola, who pronounced the nuptial benediction. His majesty is a trist, lean, un- gracious figure, with a downcast look, very expressive of his mean temper, and of the little satisfaction he had in the match. Opposite to the bishop is the queen, a buxom well-looking damsel, with golden hair. By her is a figure, above all proportion with the rest, unless intended, as I imagine, for an emblematic personage, and designed from its lofty stature to give an idea of something above human. It is an elderly man, dressed like a monk, except that his habit is green, his feet bare, and a spear in his hand. As the frock of no religious order ever was green, this cannot be meant for a friar. Probably it is St. Thomas, represented, as in the martyrologies, with the instrument of his death. The queen might have some devotion to that peculiar saint, or might be born or married on his festival. Be that as it may, the picture, though in a hard manner, has its merit, independent of the curiosity." By Jan de Mabuse. Lent by Mrs. Dent of Sudeley. 13. Sir Rowland Hill, Lord Mayor (d. 1561).

In 1470 when he was summoned to Parliament under the title of Lord Howard, he was made Captain-General of all the King's forces at sea for resisting the Lancastrians, and in the following year Deputy Governor of Calais. He was admiral of the fleet which accompanied the Duke of Gloucester's invasion of Scotland in 1482, and at the accession of Richard III. was made Earl Marshal and Duke of Norfolk, his eldest son, Thomas Howard, being at the same time created Earl of Surrey. In July of the same year he was appointed Lord Admiral for life of England, Ireland, and Aquitaine, receiving most liberal grants in lands and money. He did not long survive all these honours, as he was killed at the battle of Bosworth Field, August 22, 1485, being in command of the leading van of Richard's army. He was warned by some of his friends not to go with Richard, and the night before his death the following distich was set upon his gate : " Jocky of Norfolk be not too bold, For Dickon thy master is bought and sold." Shakspeare {Richard III.). The Duke was attainted by Parliament, November 7, 1485, and all his honours became forfeited. He was twice married, first, to Katherine, dau. of William, Lord Moleyns, by whom he had issue, one son, Thomas, 2nd Duke, and four daughters ; and secondly, to Margaret, dau. of Sir John Ched worth, by whom he had one daughter.

Dent, Esq. at the Strawberry Hill Sale, in 1842. Horace Walpole, who obtained it from Mr. Richard Cosway, thus records it in his description of Strawberry Hill, " Prince Arthur, Prince Henry, and Princess Margaret, children of Henry VI L, by Mabuse from Cosway's Collection." Of this picture there are several repetitions, viz., at Hampton Court, at Wilton House (the Earl of Pembroke), and others belonging to Lord Radnor and Lord Methuen. The example at Hampton Court, the one engraved by Vertue, is described by him in his catalogue made for Queen Caroline in 1743, as " the pictures of Prince Arthur and his two sisters, children of Henry VII., by Holbein? In King Charles I.'s Catalogue it is mentioned, and though no names are given it is clearly to be identified in the following entry : " Item, a Whitehall piece curiously painted by Mabusius, wherein were two children and one woman child playing with some oranges (sic) in their hands by a green table ; little half-figures upon a board in a wooden frame." There is no mention in James XL's catalogue ; but in the old catalogue of Henry VIII. is the following entry : " Item, a table w th the pictures of the three children of the Kynge of Denmarke w th a curtayne of white and yellow sarcanett panel together." This entry Mr. Scharf thinks must refer to the picture in question, and in an interesting paper published in the Archtzologia (Vol. xxxix., p. 245), he identifies the figures with those of the three children of Christian II. of Denmark, John, the eldest, born in 15 18, Dorothy, born in 8 Exhibition of the Royal House of Tudor. 1520, and Christina, afterwards Duchess of Milan, born in 1521 (see No. 92). In June, 1523, Christian II., banished from his kingdom, landed at Dover, accompanied by his Queen, Elizabeth, niece of Katherine of Aragon, and their three children. After a visit of about three weeks they proceeded into Flanders. It was at this time, then, that Mr. Scharf thinks this picture was painted. The grounds for this belief are that the costumes are rather those of the reign of Henry VIII. than of Henry VI L, and apparently not earlier than 1525 ; that the features are quite unlike those which we are accustomed to find in portraits of English royal children of that period, and that the eyes of the children are brown, while Henry VIII.'s are blue. The opinion that these were portraits of children of Henry VII. does not however rest solely with Vertue, as on the back of the Hampton Court picture is the following inscription, written roughly in black ink : Henry hnit cme Roy de la Grande Bretagne avec ses deux soeures Marie espoufe Louis XII., Roy de France en Suitte Brandon. Marguerita espouse Jaques II II., Roy d'Escofe. Mabuge" ; an inscription certainly dating before 1743. On the frame also of the Wilton picture is inscribed : "K. Henry VII. Three of his children, Arthur, Henry, Margaret. { ^^Shef 111 } p. 1495." Mr. Scharf accounts for the many repetitions of this picture in the close relationship of the royal families of England and Denmark ; but Mrs. Dent {Annals of Winchcombe and Sudeley) says, " The fact of there being four replicas in England and not one abroad favours the opinion that the figures are those of the children of Henry VII."

The anecdote of Sir Henry Wyat and his cat is thus related in the Wyat MSS. Sir Henry, who was in the service of Henry VII., underwent many sufferings consequent on his fidelity to that King before his attainment of the throne. " He was imprisoned often ; once in a cold and narrow tower, where he had neither bed to lie on nor clothes sufficient to warm him, nor meat for his mouth. He had starved there had not God, who sent a crow (raven ?) to feed His prophet, sent this His and his country's martyr a cat both to feed and warm him. It was his own relation unto them from whom I had it. A cat came one day down into the dungeon unto him and, as it were, offered herself unto him. He was glad of her, laid her in his bosom to warm him and, by making much of her, won her love. After this she would come every day unto him divers times and, when she could get one, bring him a pigeon. He complained to his keeper of his cold and short fare. The answer was, "he durst not better it." "But," said Sir Henry, "if I can provide any will you promise to dress it for me?" " I may well enough," said he, the keeper ; " you are safe for that matter ;; ; and being urged again, WEST GALLERY.] Portraits, 9 promised him and kept his promise, dressed for him from time to time, such pigeons as his accator the cat provided for him. Sir Henry Wyat in his prosperity for this would ever make much of cats, as other men will of their spaniels or hounds ; and perhaps you shall not find his picture any where but, like Sir Christopher Hatton with his dog, with a cat before him."

After the passing of the Act for the establishing of the crown in the line of Henry, Holinshed says : " Now although by this means all things seemed to be brought in good and perfect order, yet there lacked a wrest to the harp to set all the strings in a monocord and perfect tune, which was the matrimony to be finished between the King and the Lady Elizabeth, daughter to King Edward, which like a good prince, according to his oath and promise, he did both solemnize and consummate shortly after, that is to say, on the 1 8th day of January (i486). By reason of which marriage, [peace was thought to descend out of Heaven into England, considering that the lines of Lancaster and York were now brought into one knot and annexed together. " Sir Reginald Bray, who had held the post of Receiver- General to Sir Henry Stafford, husband of Margaret, Countess of Richmond, mother to Henry VII., was employed by the Duke of Buckingham to carry out with the Countess the arrangement for the marriage of her son with the Princess Elizabeth. He managed the transaction with great dexterity and success, and Henry VII. was so sensible of his services that he made him a K.B. at his coronation, and afterwards a K.G., Lord High Treasurer, and Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. He died in 1503. Lent by The Lord Braye. IO Exhibition of the Royal House of Tudor. 25. Henry VII. and Family with St. George and the Dragon icirc. 1508). The scene is laid in an extensive and unbroken landscape ; the horizon is bounded by- trees and palaces. In front in a flowery mead are pitched two large hexagonal tents, one on each side of the picture striped with white and red, having large crowned roses upon them ; the apex of each is surmounted by an orb held by a flying angel. In the centre stands an angel with wings erect, wearing a white alb and holding in either hand the end of the side curtains of the tents, seemingly drawing them together. In front of the tent, on the left, kneel Henry VII., and behind him his three sons, Arthur, Prince of Wales, Henry, afterwards Henry VIII., and Edmund, who died aged one year ; in front of the right tent kneel Elizabeth of York, and behind her her four daughters, Margaret, afterwards wife of James IV. of Scotland, Elizabeth, who died at the age of three, Mary, who married Louis XII. of France, and Catherine, the infant born at the time of her mother's death ; all the figures are crowned, wear long flowing mantles edged with ermine, and have their hands folded in prayer with their faces directed towards the central angel. Before each of the Sovereigns is a desk covered with a rich brocade, on which is a crystal orb and cross with a book of hours laid open. In a distant plain is represented a colossal St. George, mounted on a brown charger, encountering with his falchion the dragon flying towards him and pierced through the neck by the lance of the knight with the red cross pennon attached to it, on the ground lie the broken tilting spear and its vamplate. Behind kneels the Princess Cleodolinda crowned, and near her is a whitejamb with a red cord round its neck. Panel 56 X 54^ in. Engraved in the Archceologia, vol. xlix. p. 246. Accepted as Henry V. by Walpole {Anecdotes, p. 31), who tells us that this picture was an altar-piece at Shene, and in all probability painted by order of Henry VII. for the chapel in his palace there. After it was taken from Shene it was in the Arundelian Collection, and was sold at Tart Hall in 17 19, when it was purchased by Mr. James West, Secretary of the Treasury. Horace Walpole purchased the picture in 1773 at tne sa * e °f Mr. West's collection, and wrote in the following terms to the Rev. William Cole, dated April 7 of that year, to apprise him of the acquisition : " I have bought his two pictures of Henry V. and Henry VIII. and their families, the first of which is engraved in my Anecdotes, and the second described there. The first cost me 38/. and the last 84/., though I knew Mr. West bought it for six guineas. The price of antiquities is so exceedingly risen that I expected to have paid more/' When the greater part of the Strawberry Hill treasures were dispersed by auction in 1842 this picture was reserved, and it continued in the possession of the Earl Waldegrave till September 1846, when it passed to his widow, and was ulti- mately bequeathed by her to her last husband, Lord Carlingford, under whose auspices it was recently sold amongst other valuables remaining at Strawberry Hill, and purchased by her Majesty the Queen. There is no doubt that the theme of the picture is St. George, and he distinctly as the patron saint of England. It has no reference whatever, as has been supposed, to the order of the Garter. It is also most probable that it was intended to serve as an altar-piece. Taking into consideration the various figures and their ages, the picture appears to have been painted about 1508, as Margaret, the eldest Princess, exhibits no signs of regal dignity. It is not known by whom the picture was painted, but it belongs to the Flemish school, or at least was done under Flemish influence.

Panel 14 J x iof in. Mr. George Scharf (ArchcEologia, vol. xxxix. p. 247) says : " It would be idle at the present time to speculate upon the name of the artist who painted this picture ; but it was most probably the work of a Flemish painter of considerable skill and refinement in the use of his colours. There is3 every probability from its style and costume that this picture belongs to the reign of Henry VII. In King Henry VIII. 's catalogue of all his goods and chattels, which include pictures, the following entry (No. 98) occurs, and probably refers to the above picture : ' Item, a Table with the picture of Prince Arthur, wearing like a red cap with a brooch upon it, and a collar of red and white roses.' " Arthur, Prince of Wales, eldest son of Henry VII., was born at Winchester, Sep- tember 20, i486. His birth was the subject of universal joy throughout the kingdom, as in him were united the claims of the rival houses of York and Lancaster. In 1489 he was created Prince of Wales, and was sent by his father to reside in Ludlow Castle, where he established a court of government for Wales and the Marches. Little is known of his life during this period, ■ except that he developed at an early age a display of precocious talents and a gentle and amiable disposition. In November, 1501, he married Katherine of Aragon, then in her eighteenth year. After their marriage the young prince Exhibition of the Royal House of Tudor. and his bride repaired to Ludlow Castle, where he shortly afterwards died, on April 20, 1502. He was buried at Worcester. The untimely death of this prince was greatly deplored, and indirectly led to that great revolution which gave to England her present religious and ecclesiastical forms, by the marriage of his widow to his younger brother, afterwards Henry VIII., whose subsequent divorce was one of the principal causes of the separation of the English Church from Rome.

She married Edward Hastings, son and heir of William, 1st Lord Hastings, and the attainders of her father and grandfather having been reversed in the first Parliament of Henry VII., she had restoration of the honours and estates of her family, and in consequence bore the titles of Lady Hungerford, Botreaux, Molines, and Moelst.

Notwithstanding his eminent services, Norfolk with his accomplished son, Henry, Earl of Surrey/vvas accused in 1 546 on frivolous charges of attempting to deprive the King of his crown and dignity, was attainted and condemned to be beheaded, but the King dying before the date fixed for his execution a respite was granted, and he was kept a prisoner in the Tower throughout the reign of Edward VI. On the accession of Mary in 1553 he was restored to his rank and property, contributed to the suppression of Wyat's rebellion, and died in 1554. He was twice married, first, to Princess Anne, 3rd dau. of Edward IV., by whom he had no issue, and secondly, to Elizabeth, dau. of Edward Stafford, Duke of Buckingham, by whom he had one son, Henry, the poet, and three daughters.

Full-length figure, life-size, standing to right, of Henry VIII. in the foreground, and behind him his father, Henry VII., standing on a raised step ; architectural background. 103 x 54 in. This cartoon was made by Holbein for the fresco painting in the Privy Chamber at Whitehall, which perished in the fire in January 1698. Happily Charles II. had ordered a small copy to be taken of it thirty years before, which is still preserved in Hampton Court, by the Flemish artist, Remigius van Leemput, for which work the artist received the handsome sum of 1 50/. This copy has been engraved by Vertue. It represents life-size portraits of Henry VII., Henry VIII., Elizabeth of York and Queen Jane Seymour standing in a highly orna- mented room or corridor. In the centre is a large tablet with an inscription setting forth the royal " nobless " of his ancestors and family, then joined with the Seymours, and per- petuating the era or date when the Reformation of religion was settled in England. On the left of the tablet stands Henry VIII., and a little behind him on a step his father, Henry VII., his left arm resting on the tablet. On the right is Queen Jane Seymour, her hands joined, a dog lying at her feet, and behind her Elizabeth of York leaning against the tablet. The date on the engraving shows that the picture was painted in 1537. It is there- fore to Charles II.'s anxiety to possess a smaller picture of this composition that we owe the preservation of one of Holbein's most important and interesting designs. The cartoon before us is done with the brush in Indian ink on white paper. The outline has been pricked for transferring the design on the wall. The attitude in which Henry is represented is very characteristic, and appears to have been rather a favourite one with him : the arms a-kimbo and the legs apart. He was proud of his proportions, more especially of his legs, and Piero Pasqualigo, the Venetian Ambassador, who visited England in April 15 15, when the king was in his twenty-fourth year, tells the following anecdote in a letter dated May 3, 1 5 1 5, to Sebastian Giustinian. " His Majesty came into our arbour, and addressing me in French said, 'Talk with me awhile. The King of France, is he as tall as I am? ' I told him there was little difference.

Her sails and pennants are of cloth of gold, damasked, and the Royal standard is flying on each of the four quarters of the forecastle ; the quarters, sides, and stern are also decorated with shields and royal badges. On the main deck stands the King, richly attired in crimson, with a coat of cloth of gold. Following this, and to the right, are other ships, filled with yeomen of the guard, men beating drums, holding flags, &c. In the offing are a number of ships, and between them small boats, filled with spectators.

The number of those who embarked with Henry VIII. on this occasion included, besides the great nobles and their followers, 4,334 men. with 1,637 horses. Cardinal Wolsey's train alone consisted of twelve chaplains, fifty gentlemen, 23S servants, and 150 horses. The Henri Grace-de-Dieu was built expressly for the King, and on the day of its christening, June 19, 1514, he received the Queen and all the Court, the Pope's legate, and the Emperors ambassadors on board, and himself conducted them through the ship. It had no equal in bulk, and was mounted "by an incredible number of guns." The bills for its decorations are still extant in the Record Office ; and the cost of even- flag, streamer, and badge can be ascertained. One Vincent Volpe, an Italian, painted the streamers, and John Brown, the King's painter, did the badges, flags. &c. (See Archceo- logia, vol. vLj pp. 179-200.)

Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey, eldest son of Thomas, 3rd Duke of Norfolk, and Elizabeth, dau. of Edward Stafford, Duke of Buckingham born in 15 16, was one of the leaders in the poetic movement under Henry VIII. that heralded the great outburst of the Elizabethan period. Of his personal life outside his poetry only the barest outline is known. When his father in 1524 received the title of Duke of Norfolk his son was styled by courtesy Earl of Surrey. He probably received his educa- tion at Cambridge. In 1532 he went to Paris and Germany, and is said to have also made the tour of Europe as a knight-errant, upholding against all comers the superiority of his Mistress '* Geraldine," who is commonly supposed to have been Elizabeth Fitz- gerald, a daughter of the Earl of Kildare. He was elected a K.G. in 1541 ; the following year he served under his father in Scotland, and held a command in the expedition to Boulogne in 1 544. When the King's death was known to be near, Surrey and his father were suspected of aiming at the throne, were arrested, and lodged in the Tower. Surrey was brought to trial for high treason, the main charge against him being that he had "falsely, maliciously, and treacherously, set up and borne the arms of Edward the Confessor ; " was found guilty and executed on Tower Hill on January 19, 1547. Besides his well-known love verses, Surrey translated two books of Virgil's ^-Entid, which is the earliest specimen of blank verse in the English language. He married Frances Vere, dau. of John, 15th Earl of Oxford, by whom he had two sons, Thomas, 4th Duke of Norfolk, and Henry, created Earl of Northampton, and three daughters. By Gwnxm Stretes.

WEST GALLERY.] Portraits. 2 I Hans Holbein, the celebrated painter, son of a painter of the same name, born at Augsburg in 1494 or 1495, removed about 1515 to Basel, where he soon found active employment in drawing illustrations for books, title-pages, and ornamental initial letters. He did not confine his attention entirely to this kind of work, as we find at Basel, as in other towns of Switzerland, many portraits which must have been painted by him at this time. Here he made the acquaintance of Erasmus who employed him in illustrating his Praise of Folly, and other works. Every year bore witness of his activity. He was employed in decorating the Basel Town Hall with historical paintings, in illustrating books, making designs for glass, painting portraits, and large subject pictures. It was at this time that he executed the designs for the so-called " Dance of Death," the magnificent frontispiece for Luther's New Testament, the altar panels in Freiburg Cathedral, the Solothurn Madonna, the Meyer Madonna, and numerous portraits. His marriage in 1525 to Elizabeth Schmid, a widow, plain, many years older than himself, and with a froward temper, did not add to his happiness, and in 1 526, when his fame as a portrait painter had spread far and wide, Holbein was induced by Erasmus to- start for England, where he arrived in the autumn of that year. Furnished with letters of introduction from Erasmus to Sir Thomas More, Holbein was kindly received by the latter, was taken into his house at Chelsea, and worked there for nearly three years painting the portraits of More, his relations, and friends. Walpole says that Henry VIII., one day visiting the Chancellor, was struck by the beauty of Holbein's portraits, and inquiring for the painter, who was introduced to him, took him into his employment. There is however no evidence to show that Holbein entered the King's service before 1534. In 1529 Holbein returned to Basel, finished his paintings in the Town Hall, but finding it hard to gain a living on account of the great distress existing, returned to London in 1531 and soon found active employment on all sides. He has left an interesting memorial of his visit to Basel, in the portrait of his wife and children. In 1534 Holbein entered the King's service, and was appointed Court painter, in which capacity he went to Brussels in 1538, to paint Christina, Duchess of Milan, and in 1539 to Cleves to paint the Princess Anne. He had in the meantime revisited Basel, when the City, hoping to induce him to remain there, bestowed upon him an annuity of fifty florins ; but this liberality did not weigh with Holbein against the opulence of the Court of England, where he returned and remained till his death, which is proved by his will to have occurred in 1543. 53.

Meeting of Henry VIII. and Francis I. at the Field of the Cloth of Gold in 1530. On the left side of the picture is shown the arrival of the English cavalcade at the town of Guisnes, of which we see the church, the gabled houses, and the castle from which salutes are being fired. In the foreground is the chief part of the procession, pro- minent in which is King Henry himself, riding on a white charger, " apparelled in red gown and surcoat of cloth of gold ; " his horse covered with " gold trappings." By the side of the King rides Wolsey on a mule. In front of the King rides the Marquess of Dorset, with the sword of state ; while behind, ride many other officers of state, promi- nent among whom is Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk. These are followed by halberdiers and pikemen. The advanced part of the procession is composed of the King's billmen and various officers on horseback, also Wolsey's chaplains, &c, who are all passing into the castle. On the right side of the picture is seen in the middle background the plain of Ardres studded with trees, amidst which is the pavilion of Henry VIII., all in cloth of gold with two flags. Beyond is the gilt tent, lined with fleurs-de-lis on blue ground, of Francis I. ; above which rises the figure of St. Michael. Inside this tent we see the meeting of the two monarchs affectionately embracing one another, their squires hold their horses with- out, and their retinues are grouped around. More in the foreground is the famous palace, outside which stand the two gold fountains "running with red, white, and claret wine," with which the English and French toasted each other " et disoient ces paroles : Bons amys, Francoys et Angloys, en les repetant plusieurs foys en beuvant lung a laultre de bon couraige.^ In other parts are shown other incidents of the meeting : thus to the right are seen the lists half-way between Guisnes and Ardres, with the galleries of the Kings and Queens, and the great perron or tree of nobility.

This conference was succeeded by a series of tournaments and entertainments unparalleled in the history of the two countries, and the magnificence then displayed by the nobility of England and France procured for the place of interview the name of The Field of the Cloth of Gold. The painter of this picture is unknown. It was probably executed by some artist who accompanied Henry VIII. for the purpose, and who made it up from sketches taken on the spot.

John Fisher, Bishop of Rochester, born in 1456, at Beverley, in Yorkshire, and educated at Michaelhouse (now incorporated into Trinity College), Cambridge, was on account of his learning and virtues appointed by Margaret, Countess of Richmond, mother of Henry VI I. , her chaplain and confessor. In 1501 he was elected Chancellor of the University, and next year first Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity. In 1504 he obtained the bishopric of Rochester, and for many years laboured diligently for the welfare of the Church and the universities in strong antagonism to the principles of the Reformation. In 1527 he refused to declare the marriage of Katherine of Aragon unlawful, and again in 1529 incurred the displeasure of Henry VIII., by opposing the suppression of the lesser monasteries, and by not acknowledging the King as head of the Church. He placed himself in a still more perilous position by defending his attitude towards the " Nun of Kent " in spite of the latter's full confession, for which he was sentenced but not punished. On his declining, together with Sir Thomas More, to subscribe to the " Act of Succes- sion," he was committed to the Tower, April 26, 1534, and the closing scene of his life was hastened by an act of Pope Paul III., who sent him a cardinal's hat as a reward for his faithful services. When Henry was informed of this he exclaimed, " Mother of God, he shall wear it on his shoulders, then ; for I will leave him never a head to set it on." His ruin was now certain ; he was accused of high treason, and after a brief trial, condemned and executed on Tower Hill, June 22, 1 535. By decree of Pope Leo XIII. he was declared a Martyr.

In 1 5 16, Charles took possession of the throne of Spain by the title of Charles I., his mother being of disordered intellect and incapable of reigning ; and three years later, in 15 19, on the death of Maximilian I., he was elected Emperor. In 1555, on account of failing health, Charles resigned the government of his dominions to his son Philip, husband of Queen Mary, and relinquishing to him the crown of Spain on January 15, 1556, retired into the monastery of Yrieste, in Estramadura, where he spent two years, partly in mechanical amusements, partly in religious exercises. He died September 21, 1558. By his wife Isabella, daughter of Emmanuel, King of Portugal, he had one son — his successor, Philip II. of Spain, and two daughters. His brother Ferdinand succeeded him in the Empire. Lent by The Lord Sackville. 65. Queen Katherine Parr (15 13-1548).

Katherine Parr, 6th Queen of Henry VIII., born in 15 13, was the dau. of Sir Thomas Parr, of Kendal, Master of the'Wards and Comptroller of the King's Household, and Mary, dau. of Sir Thomas Green, of Boughton. At an early age she married first, Edward Borough, afterwards Lord Borough, who died in 1529, and 2ndly, John Neville, Lord Latimer, who died at the close of 1542. Soon after his death Katherine became a Protestant, of which creed she remained an earnest friend and defender. On the death of her second husband, she was immediately sought in marriage by Sir Thomas Seymour, brother of the deceased Queen Jane, and had already consented, when she re- 26 Exhibition of the Royal House of Ttidor. ceived the alarming and unwelcome news that she had been selected for the sixth wife of the King. It was impossible to resist the royal will, and she became Henry's wife, July 12, 1 543. On account of her strong attachment to the reformed religion, Gardiner sought to lay snares for her destruction, but by her tact and prudent management she escaped the fate designed for her even when it was resolved to send her to the Tower. She was an accomplished woman, and devoted much of her time to study, composition, and scholarly pursuits, and took great interest in the education of her step-children, even per- suading Henry to restore the right of succession to his daughters. After the death of Henry she married her old lover, Sir Thomas Seymour, then Lord Admiral of England, but her married life was rendered unhappy by his neglect and by his familiarity with the young Princess Elizabeth. She died in child-bed at Sudeley Castle, in Gloucestershire, September 5, 1 548, and was buried in the chapel there, where her remains were found in 1782. Lent by The Earl of Ashburnham. 66.

After the kingdoms of Aragon and Castile were united, Ferdinand and Isabella together assumed the title of King and Queen of Spain. She died at Medina del Campo, after a long illness, November 26, 1 504, and was buried in the cathedral of Granada. " With the graces and charms of her sex, Isabella united the courage of a hero, and the sagacity of a statesman and legislator ; she was always present at the transaction of state affairs, and her name was placed beside that of her husband's in public ordinances " ; her bust also, with that of Ferdinand's, was stamped on the coinage.

Edward Stafford, 3rd Duke of Buckingham, born in 1478, son of Henry, 2nd duke, who was attainted and beheaded by Richard III. in 1483, and Katherine Woodville, sister to the Queen of Edward IV., was on his father's side descended from Thomas of Woodstock, son of Edward III., and quartered the royal arms. He was restored to the dukedom in i486, commanded the royal forces during the rebellion of Perkin Warbeck, elected K.G. in 1505, and Lord High Constable of England. Having incurred the enmity of Wolsey, that ambitious prelate planned and quickly succeeded in accomplishing his ruin. He was charged on the evidence of a former steward, Knevet, of aspiring to the Crown, and of plotting against the lives of the king, Wolsey, and others. Buckingham pleaded his own cause, but was found guilty, sentenced to death, and beheaded on Tower Hill, May 17, 1 521.

Panel 33 X 26. Sir John More, Judge of the King's Bench, &c, probably the son of John More, who rose from butler to be Reader at Lincoln's Inn, and father of Sir Thomas More, Lord Chancellor, was born about 1453. He studied law at Lincoln's Inn, was made a Ser- jeant-at-Law in 1503, a Judge of the Common Pleas in 15 17, and of the King's Bench in 1523. Of his life as a barrister and as a judge, there is no precise information, and it may therefore be concluded that he did not distinguish himself in a high degree in either capacity, but rather owed his advancement to the superior talents and interest of his son, the Lord Chancellor. The description which Sir Thomas More gives of his father in his epitaph, " homo civilis, suavis, innocens, mitis, misericors, aequus, et integer/ 3 presents a higher idea of his moral than of his intellectual qualities, and illus- trates the touching pictures which are drawn of the affectionate intercourse existing in the family.

The original drawing by Holbein for this picture is inscribed, Reskemeer, a Cornish Gent. The picture is described in Charles I.'s Catalogue as "done by Holbein, given to the King, by the deceased, Sir Robert Killegrew, Vice-Chamberlain to the Queen's Majesty." John Reskemeer, Reskimeer, Rekymar, &c, as his name is variously spelt, was the son of William Reskemeer, of Cornwall, and Elizabeth, dau. of Sir John Arundel, of Lanherne. He seems to have been distinguished only by his great possessions in Cornwall, of which county he was High Sheriff in 1557 ; his seat was at Merther. A Mr. Reskemar is mentioned in 1527 in the State Papers, as belonging to Wolsey's house- hold.

Though attached to the principles of the old religion, Wriothesley became a favourite with Henry VIII., and was employed on several missions. In 1540 he was made Constable of Southampton Castle, Chamber- lain of the Exchequer, and in 1 544 created Baron Wriothesley, of Titchfield, Hants. The same year he succeeded Lord Audley as Lord Chancellor, and shortly afterwards was elected K.G. By the will of Henry VIII. Wriothesley became one of his executors and a member of the Council of Edward VI., three days after whose coronation he was elevated to the Earldom of Southampton. Having placed the Great Seal into com- mission without the consent of the King he was accused of an illegal act, and in spite of his able defence, was deprived of his office, March, 6, 1547, and heavily fined.

She married in 1494 Sir Richard Pole, K.G., and in 1 513 had restoration of the honours and estates of her maternal family, being created Countess of Salisbury. She was selected to preside over the household of Princess Mary, at the same time acknowledging with regard the kindness of Henry VIII. to her own children. Her younger son, Reginald Pole, having published a treatise denouncing the King's supremacy, his divorce and second marriage, the Countess and all the members of her family were seized and attainted of treason. The aged Countess was imprisoned in the Tower in 1539, and two years later, May 27, 1541, her grey head fell upon the fatal scaffold. Lord Herbert says : " that when commanded to lay her head on the block, she refused, saying, 'So should traitors do ; I am none,' and turning her head everyway, she told the executioner if he would have it, he must get it as he could." By Sir Richard Pole she had three sons, Henry, Lord Montagu, executed in 1 538, Reginald, the Cardinal, and Geoffrey. By a decree of Pope Leo XIII. December 1886, she was declared to be a Martyr.

Canvas 14 X 12 in. Anne Boleyn, second queen of Henry VIII. and mother of Queen Elizabeth, born at Blickling, in Norfolk, about 1 507, was sent at an early age by her father, Sir Thomas Boleyn, to France, where she was attached to the suite of Mary, sister of Henry VIII. and queen of Louis XII. She became in 1527 maid of honour to Queen Katherine, and speedily attracted the king's favour. On November 14, 1532, she was privately married to Henry, though his marriage with Katherine was not annulled till some months later, and on the Whit Sunday of the following year she was publicly crowned at Westminster Abbey. On September 7, 1533, her daughter Elizabeth was born. Naturally light and gay of heart, and educated at the French court, where these qualities were likely to be developed, she conducted herself with an easy familiarity towards the courtiers, and in consequence was accused of infidelity with Norris, Brereton, Weston, and Smeton, gentlemen about the court, and with her own brother, Viscount Rochfort, found guilty, and beheaded on Tower Hill, May 19, 1536. She was beheaded, according to Holinshed, by the hangman of Calais with a sword, but a Spaniard who was present at the execution states that it was a headsman from St. Omer, whom Henry sent for a week before.

Desiderius Erasmus, one of the early promoters of the Reformation, born at Rotterdam, October 28, 1467, was educated at Deventer, and at the monastery of Emiius near Gouda. At a very early age his talents began to display themselves in so brilliant a manner that it was even then predicted that he would one day be the most learned man of his time. From Gouda he went to Paris, and in 1497 he came to England and was well received by Henry VII. Returning to Paris, he next visited Italy, where the most flattering offers of promotion were made to him, not only by Cardinal Grimani, but also by Pope Julius II. These he declined, and returning to England resided with Sir Thomas More, in whose house he wrote his Encomium Morics, or " Praise of Folly.'' 7 For a short time he filled the office of Professor of Greek at Cambridge, but, disappointed with his very scanty supplies of subsistence, he returned in 15 14 to the Low Countries, and thence took up his residence in Basel, where in 15 16 he published his celebrated edition of the Greek Testament. He removed in 1529 to Freiburg, but a few years later returned to Basel, where he died July 12, 1536. Though a kind-hearted and generous man, Erasmus had little of the hero or martyr in his composition, and in one of his letters he states : " Even if Luther had spoken everything in the most un- objectionable manner, I had no inclination to die for the truth. Every man has not the courage to make a martyr ; and I am afraid, if I were put to the trial I should imitate St. Peter." By Lucas Cranach. Lent by Mrs. Du Buisson. ^est gallery.] Portraits, 33 36.

Thomas Wolsey, cardinal and statesman, born at Ipswich in 147 1, his father (Robert) being perhaps, as is commonly asserted, a butcher, but evidently wealthy, was educated at Magdalen College, Oxford, and took his degree at the age of fifteen. Having been recommended by Sir John Nanfan, the treasurer of Calais, to Henry VII., he was employed in embassies to Germany and Scotland, acquitting himself so dexterously that the king rewarded him with the Deanery of Lincoln. On the accession of Henry VIII. Wolsey became at once a favourite with him, and so rapidly did he rise in the king's estimation, that he was made Bishop of Lincoln and Archbishop of York in 1514, and in 1515 suc- ceeded Archbishop Warham as Chancellor. In the latter year he was also promoted by the Pope to the dignity of Cardinal. He held at various times the Sees of Bath and Wells, Durham and Winchester. From this time till his fall Wolsey was one of the most important men in Europe ; at home his power was almost without limit, and he enjoyed from Henry the most unbounded favour and confidence. He lived in great magnificence, his retinue surpassing even that of royalty ; he built Hampton Court Palace, which he afterwards presented to the King, and founded Christ Church, Oxford, which was first known as " Cardinal's College." Having incurred the displeasure of Henry by his opposition to his divorce from Queen Katherine and his marriage with Anne Boleyn, an indictment was preferred against him in 1529, he was stripped of all his honours, and driven with ignominy from the Court. The Archbishopric of York was, however, restored to him along with other of his minor preferments, and he retired there in order that he might devote himself to the duties of a Christian bishop : but he was soon arrested on the charge of treason, and ordered to be conveyed to London for trial.

She died at Methuen, in Perthshire, October 4, 1541, and was buried with great ceremony in the vaults of the Carthusian House in Perth, beside the remains of James I.

The King is seated under a rich cloth of state in his royal robes, his crown upon his head, his sceptre in his right hand, his left delivering to the citizens of London the royal charter, with the Great Seal attached, which contains the grant of his palace and manor of Bridewell to the mayor, aldermen, and commonalty of the City of London, for a hospital and workhouse for the thriftless poor, vagrants, &c. The Lord Mayor, Sir George Barnes, William Gerrard and John Maynard, aldermen and then sheriffs of London, are represented as kneeling and receiving the royal donation, and near them stands William Blackwell, the town clerk, whose office it was to take and deposit the charter among the City archives. On the left also stands Dr. Thomas Goodrich, the Lord Chan- cellor, robed in his episcopal habit and holding the purse containing the Great Seal of England. On the right stands Sir Robert Bowes, Knt., Master of the Rolls, in his robes 6o Exhibition of the Royal House of Ttcdo?-. of office, and near him William, Earl of Pembroke, K.G., Master of the Horse and a member of the King's Council. The other figures are unknown. Canvas 115 X 108 in. On April 10, 1547, Edward VI. sent for the Lord Mayor and aldermen to attend at Whitehall, where the royal charter for the foundation of Bridewell hospital was delivered to them, and this painting was made in remembrance of the benefaction, which was afterwards confirmed by his charter 26th June following. The King had before given Christ's Hospital to the City, for the use of the impotent poor, and also St. Thomas the Apostle for the poor by casualty ; both which, together with Bridewell, were after- wards united and incorporated under the government of the Lord Mayor, commonalty, and citizens of the City of London. Not only Vertue but also Walpole considered this picture to be the work of Holbein. Walpole says, " Holbein has placed his own head in one corner of the picture. It is be- lieved it was not completed by Holbein, both he and the King dying immediately after the donation.'' It is now certain that it cannot be the work of that artist, as he died in 1543. It is by some considered rather the work of Gwillim Stretes, who sometimes signed himself " William Strote ; " an artist who obviously formed himself in manner and conception from Holbein, with whose later portraits he shows much affinity.

In 1552 he married Catherine, Baroness Willoughby de Eresby, widow of the Duke of Suffolk. His life and that of his wife being in danger owing to the persecutions of Bishop Gardiner, they fled to the Continent, and after suffering great hardships and dangers finally settled in Poland, where they were befriended by Sigismund II., who placed him in the Earldom of Krose, in Samogitia. At the accession of Elizabeth, Bertie with his wife returned to England, and sat in Parliament for the County of Lincoln. He died at Bourn, in Lincolnshire, April 9, 1582.

It represents the Queen life-size, seen to the knees, and seated in a square-back chair, holding a rose in her right hand, and a pair of gloves in her left. More received a gold chain worth ^ioo, and £ 100 a year as painter to their Majesties for painting the picture.

Canvas 36 X 3 1 in- Painted in Rome in 1535 ; and formerly in the Strozzi Collection. Reginald Pole, Cardinal and Archbishop of Canterbury, born in 1 500, was a younger son of Sir Richard Pole, and Margaret, Countess of Salisbury, dau. of the Duke of Clarence, the brother of Edward IV. He was educated at Sheen and Magdalen College, Oxford, and in 1520 proceeded to Italy to prosecute his studies. Returning in 1525, he in- curred the displeasure of Henry VIII. for opposing his divorce and the Reformation, and was attainted, but as the King could not seize his person owing to his having withdrawn from England, his mother and several members of his family were put to death for corre- sponding with him. In 1537 Pole was sent as legate by the Pope to France and the Low Countries, from both which States Henry in vain demanded his extradition. On the accession of Mary his attainder was reversed, and he was welcomed back to England as Papal Legate, and succeeded Cranmer as Archbishop of Canterbury in 1555. He died at Lambeth, November 18, 1 558, on the same day as Mary, and was buried at Canterbury, leaving behind him the character of a strictly conscientious man, and of a mild, generous, and tolerant spirit. The cruelties of Mary's reign do not seem in any way imputable to Pole, although as Papal Legate the proceedings were often taken in his name ; in fact, for his mildness, his conduct was displeasing at Rome, and he would have been removed from his office but for the personal favour of the Queen.

Henry Fitzalan, the last Earl of Arundel of his family, born in 1 5 1 1, was the only son of William, 22nd earl, and Anne, dau. of Henry, 4th Earl of Northumberland. He was ap- pointed Deputy of Calais in 1540, elected a K.G. in 1 544, in the same year was present at the siege of Boulogne, and succeeded in 1554 to the title and great estates of his ancestors. For his bravery in the assault on that city Henry VIII. made him Governor of Calais, Comp- troller of the Royal Household, and afterwards Lord Chamberlain. He was a member of the Council of Edward VI., but having excited the envy of the Earl of Warwick was deprived on a frivolous charge of all his employments, committed to the Tower, and fined 12,000/. He strongly supported Mary at her accession, and received the offices of President of the Council and Steward of the Queen's Household. These appointments were confirmed by Elizabeth, who added those of High Constable and High Steward of England. In 1569 he was one of the Commissioners to inquire into the murder of Darnley, and, having favoured Mary, became an object of suspicion, for which he suffered a short imprisonment in the Tower in 1572. From that time till his death in 1580 he lived in retirement. He married, first, Catherine, dau. of Thomas Grey, second Marquess of Dorset, and secondly, Mary, dau. of Sir John Arundel, of Lanherne, Cornwall, but having no surviving issue, his titles and estates devolved on Philip, eldest son of Thomas, fourth Duke of Norfolk.

Copper 14 x io| in. Lady Jane Grey, celebrated for her talents, her virtues, and her misfortunes, was the eldest dau. of Henry Grey, Marquess of Dorset, and Frances Brandon (dau. ot Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk, and Mary, sister of Henry VIII., and widow of Louis XII. of France). Lady Jane was born at Broadgate Hall, Leicestershire, in 1 537, and having dis- 7o Exhibition of the Royal House of Tudor. covered at an early age surprising talents, received as tutor Aylmer, afterwards Bishop of London, under whose care she made rapid progress in the arts and sciences, and par- ticularly in languages, being able to speak and write Latin and Greek, as well as French and Italian, adding to these some knowledge of Hebrew, Chaldee, and Arabic. She imbibed from her tutor the principles of the Reformation, to which she always remained firmly attached. When Dudley, Duke of Northumberland, perceived the declining health of Edward VI., he induced that monarch to pass over his sisters, Mary and Elizabeth, and to nominate Lady Jane his successor. His next move was to marry her to his son, Lord Guildford Dudley, thus hoping to secure the crown to his own family. On the death of Edward VI., Northumberland proclaimed Lady Jane Grey Queen, but her elevation to the throne, to which she herself was strongly opposed, only lasted a few days, and as it was during the Epiphany she was called the "twelfth-day Queen." The populace resenting the unscrupulous conduct of Northumberland, and of the Duke of Suffolk, rallied round Mary, and Lady Jane and her husband were confined in the Tower, accused of high treason, and being condemned, were both executed on the same day, February 12, 1554.

In 1550 he served the office of sheriff for the counties of Warwick and Leicester, and in the same year took part in an expedition to dislodge the French from a position between Boulogne and Calais. On the death of Edward VI. he supported the cause of Mary, and was made a Privy Councillor, Master of the Horse, and Collector-General of the Queen's Revenues in the City of London. In 1 554 he was sent with Sir Thomas Cornwallis to Dartford to remonstrate with Wyat, who had raised a rebellion to oppose the Queen's marriage. He was appointed one of the com- missioners to arrange with the Emperor Charles V. for the reception of Cardinal Pole in this country and also in 1556 for the inquiry into the Dudley conspiracy. In 1557 Hastings was constituted Chamberlain of the royal household, and was elevated to the peerage, January 15, 1558, as Baron Hastings of Loughborough, but dying the same year at Stoke Pogis the title became extinct.

Panel 9! x y\ in. Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury, born in 1489, was educated at Jesus College, Cambridge, and in 1526 constituted Archdeacon of Taunton. Henry VIII. being pleased with the views which he propounded respecting the divorce of Queen Katherine, took him into favour, bestowed upon him Church preferments, and employed him abroad in various missions. In 1532 Cranmer succeeded Warham as Archbishop of Canterbury, and in the following year pronounced the King's marriage with Katherine of Aragon to have been null and void. By aid of Cromwell, Earl of Essex, Cranmer procured the King's authority that a copy of the new translation of the Bible, known by his name, should be placed for public reading in every parish church through- out the realm. To Cromwell he wrote in gratitude for his success, adding " And this deed you shall hear of at the Great Day, when all things are made manifest." He favoured the divorce of Anne of Cleves and disclosed to Henry the infidelities of Catherine Howard. He attended Henry VIII. in his last moments, and crowned Edward VI., being one of his council and an executor of his father's will. On the accession of Mary, Cranmer was sent a prisoner to the Tower ; thence in 1554 he was removed, together with Ridley and Latimer, to Oxford, and having been tried on the charge of heresy, was condemned, but to save his life recanted. Finding, however, that it was determined to put him to death he retracted his recantation, and was burnt at the stake March 21, 1556. Cranmer was twice married, and had several children. Lent by W.

Elected a K.G. in 1559, he commanded the Queen's forces at the siege of Leith in 1 560, and in the following year was constituted Lieutenant of the North. He was attainted in June, 1 572, of high treason for his intrigues to effect a marriage with Mary Queen of Scots, and being found guilty was executed on Tower Hill on June 2 following. When one reached him a handkerchief to cover his eyes he refused it, saying, " I fear not death." Camden speaks of him as being much loved by the people through his bounty and singular courtesy, and " a man of high nobility, singular goodness of nature, goodly personage, and manly countenance." The Duke was three times married, first, to Mary, dau. and heir of Henry Fitzalan, Earl of Arundel, by whom he had an only son, Philip ; secondly, to Margaret, dau. and heir of Thomas, Lord Audley, of Walden ;_and thirdly to Elizabeth, dau. of Sir James Leybourne.

This type of figure can also be seen in Faithorne's List of Kings, Sandford's Genealogical History, 1677, Burnet's History of the Reformation, &c. Mr. Scharf, in his article on portraits of Queen Mary {Proceedings Society of Antiquaries, 1875, Vol. VII.), divides the authentic portraits of the queen into three classes, distinguishable by the style of dress — (1) with the French hood, and the dress cut square round the open neck ; (2) with a wider hood, and close-fitting dress, and high-rising open collar, so as to show an inner frill and ornaments round neck ; and (3) Spanish costume, close-fitting, with fur round neck, and fur trimmings to the shoulders. Of the first, are the picture of Mary in the National Portrait Gallery, which formerly belonged to the Brocas family at Beaure- paire, Hampshire, and No. 240 from the Earl of Carlisle ; of the second, the Durham Portrait, No. 204, that from the Society of Antiquaries, No. 206, and that from St. James's Palace ; and of the third class, the one above described.

In 1586 he was nominated one of the commissioners to serve on the trial of Mary, Queen of Scots, two years later took the command of a troop when Elizabeth reviewed the army at Tilbury, and in 1 591 entertained her for a week at his seat at Cowdray, in Sussex, where he died, Oct. 19, 1592.

Canvas 83 x 45^ in. This painting is inscribed, " Mary, Duchess of Norfolk, daughter and sole heiress of Henry Fitzalan, Earl of Arundel, &c.

This picture and that of her husband (No. 228) have, in consequence of the monogram FB., often been wrongly attributed to Holbein. Mary, dau. and heir of Henry Fitzalan of Arundel, born in 1541, was the first wife of Thomas, 4th Duke of Norfolk. She died at Arundel House in the Strand, August 25, 1557, in childbed of Philip, Earl of Arundel, being then only sixteen years old, and was buried at St. Clement's Church, near Temple Bar. She was a learned lady, displaying her talents in several elegant versions and selections from the ancient classics, and is described as a person of " so sweet and amiable disposition, so prudent, pious, virtuous, and religious, that all who knew her could not but love and esteem her much."

England, both of which he presented to Queen Elizabeth. In 1 580 he had a serious quarrel with Sir Philip Sidney, which brought him but little credit. In 1585 he went to the Low Countries with the Earl of Leicester, and in the next year sat as Lord Chamberlain at the trial of Mary, Queen of Scots, as he afterwards did on the Earls of Arundel in 1589, and Sussex and Southampton in 1601. He displayed great activity in the preparations to oppose the Spanish Armada, and dying in 1604, was buried at Hackney, July 6. His first wife was Anne, dau. of William Cecil, Lord Burghley, whom he ill-treated out of spite to her father for refusing to save the life of the Duke of Norfolk. His character appears to have been marked with haughtiness, vanity, and affectation. He aped Italian dresses, and was called the " Mirror of Tuscanismo." He was the author of several comedies that have perished, and of a number of odes and sonnets published under the title of Diana. Lent by John Harley, Esq., M.D. 246.

He was twice Governor of Calais, during which period he commanded the English forces in Picardy. On October 10, 1 551, he was advanced to the dignity of a Baron by the title of Lord Herbert of Cardiff, and on the next day created Earl of Pembroke, and at the death of Edward VI. was one of the members of the Council who acknowledged Lady Jane Grey as the lawful Queen of the realm, but finding the nation adverse to the Duke of Northumberland's proceedings, he joined the party in favour of Mary, and in the next year, 1554, was chiefly instrumental in suppressing Wyat's rebellion. In 1557 he was constituted Captain-General of the Queen's forces beyond the seas for the defence of Calais, and commanded the English army at the battle of St. Quentin. At Elizabeth's accession he was made grand master of her household, a member of the Privy Council, and appointed one of the committee to settle the form of religion in this country. He died March 17, 1569, and was buried in St. Paul's Cathedral. His first wife was Anne, dau. of Thomas, Lord Parr, of Kendal, sister of Queen Katherine Parr.

The Earl of Leicester was High Steward of the University of Cambridge from 1563 1588. This picture was presented to the University in 1580 by Edward Grant, D.D. Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, favourite of Queen Elizabeth, born 1 531, was a younger son of John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland, who was executed for the part which he took in the cause of Lady Jane Grey, and he was himself tried on the same account, but pleading guilty his life was spared, and he was imprisoned for about a year. On his release he went abroad and was present at the battle of St. Ouentin. On the accession of Elizabeth the dawn of his future began, and he was made Master of the Horse, a K.G., a Privy Councillor, High Steward of the University of Cambridge, and on September 28, 1563, was created Lord Denbigh, and the next day Earl of Leicester. For these high honours he seems to have been indebted solely to his handsome person and his courtly manner, since the course of his life shows him not to have been possessed of one single quality either of head or heart deserving of admiration. In 1585, he was sent with almost royal powers into the Low Countries, but he greatly injured the cause of the Dutch by his insolence and incapacity; yet in 1588, Elizabeth appointed him commander-in-chief of the army raised to oppose the Spanish invasion. He died suddenly on the 4th of September of the same year, not without suspicion of poison. Leicester was three times married, first to Amy Robsart, dau. of Sir John Robsart, to whose murder the general voice of the time has charged him of being an accessory ; secondly, to Lady Douglas Howard, whom he divorced ; and thirdly, to Lettice, widow of the Earl of Essex, who it is said gave him the potion which he himself had prepared for her, and from the effects of which he died. Elizabeth called him her " Sweet Robin." Lent by The University of Cambridge. SOUTH GALLERY.] Portraits. 79 251. Elizabeth Vernon, Countess of Southampton.

Vertue says of this picture : — " It is painted in oil colours in a very skilful and lively manner by a most curious hand. The date on it is 1559, and the mark LE shows it to have been painted by Lucas de Heere. The whole picture, well preserved, is now in the curious cabinet of pictures of the honourable Horace Walpole, Esq., from whence the engraving is taken. It not only represents Frances, Duchess of Suffolk, relict of Henry Grey, Duke of Suffolk, in her 36th year ; but also with her portrait is joined that of her second husband, Adrian Stokes, or Stock, Esq., aet. xxi., who erected a famous monument for her in St. Edmund's Chapel, in Westminster Abbey, soon after her death an. dom. 1561." Walpole, A?iecdotes of Painting, describes the picture as being " in perfect preservation, the colouring of the hands clear and with great nature, and the draperies, which are black, with furs and jewels highly finished and sound, though the manner of the whole is stiff. This picture was in the collection of Lord Oxford." Adrian Stokes, who married the Duchess of Suffolk, March 1, 1555, is said to have acted as her master of the horse. In spite of this disparity of social position, the marriage appears to have been a happy one, as at her death in December 1559, she left him in possession of large estates in Warwickshire and Leicestershire. In 157 1 Stokes was returned to Parliament for Leicestershire, having under his charge Lady Mary Grey, his stepdaughter, and about that period married secondly, Anne, widow of Sir Nicholas Throgmorton. He died November 30, 1586, without issue, and his estates devolved upon his brother William. By Lucas de Heere. Lent by Colonel Wynne Finch. 256. Philip II. of Spain (i 556-1 598).

She married, December 29, 1558, Don Gomez Suarez de Figueroa, Duke of Feria, whom she joined in Flanders in the following year. From Flanders the Duke and Duchess went to Spain where he died in 1 57 1 , immediately after his appointment as Governor of the Low Countries. The Duchess continued to reside on her late husband's estates, and earned the esteem and regard of all by her liberal and charitable nature. She died at Madrid, January 13, 1612. She not only corresponded with Mary Queen of Scots, whom she met at Amboise, on her way to Spain, Mary signing herself, " Your perfect friend, old acquaintance, and dear cousin," but also at least with four Popes — Gregory XIII., Sixtus V., Clement VIII., and Paul V.

Having joined in the attempt to place his sister-in-law, Lady Jane Grey, on the throne in 1553, he was convicted of treason, but was released and pardoned, October 18, 1554. In 1557 he was present at the siege of St. Quentin, and for his bravery in the assault on that city, the act of attainder of 1 553, which involved all his family, was raised. He was made Master of the Ordnance in 1560, and created Baron de L'Isle, December 25, 1 561, and Earl of Warwick on the day following. He commanded the expedition in aid of the Protestants against Havre, and during the negotiations for the capitulation of that city, was struck by a poisoned bullet in the thigh, which permanently ruined his health. Elected a K.G. in 1563, he was afterwards engaged in 1569 in crushing the rebellion of the Earls of Northumber- land and Westmoreland in the North ; was a Commissioner for the trial of Thomas, 4th Duke of Norfolk, and in 1586 took part in that of Mary, Queen of Scots.

Panel 36 x 26 in. In portraits taken in her youth, Elizabeth is represented as fair, with well-marked features, but not beautiful. She had not at that time conceived that partiality for flattery which so marked her later days. In sending her miniature to her brother, Edward VI., she observes, " For the face I might well blushe to offer, and I beseeche your Majestie to think that when you shall loke in my picture, you will witsafe {vouchsafe) to think that you have the outward shew of the body before you." Sir James Melville {Memoirs, p. 46) describes, in a very interesting manner, his interview and conversation with Elizabeth, when she was in her thirty-second year, 1564. He observed, "That her hair was more reddish than yellow, curled, in appearance, naturally. She desired to know of me what colour of hair was reputed best, and whether my Queen's (Mary Queen of Scots) hair or hers was best ; and which of these two was fairest ?" Melville's reply was very courtly, but not satisfactory ; for, like a true knight, he would not allow the meed of superior beauty to any but his own mistress. So he answered, " They were both the fairest ladies in their countries ; that her Majesty was whiter, but my queen was very lovely." The Queen then inquired which of them was of highest stature ? " My Queen," said the ambassador. " Then," said she, " she is too high, for myself am neither too high nor too low." In 1563 she issued a proclamation, still extant in the State-Paper Office, by which none but a " special cunnynge paynter' n is permitted to draw her likeness, and Zucchero was then probably appointed. Raleigh {Hist, of the World) says that she ordered all pictures of her by unskilful painters to be burned. Hentzner saw the Queen when she had advanced to her sixty-fifth year in 1591. "Next came the Queen, very majestic, her face oblong, fair but wrinkled, her eyes small, yet black and pleasant ; her nose a little hooked, her lips thin, and her teeth black. She had in her ears two pearls, with very rich drops ; she wore false hair, and that red ; upon her head she had a small crown. Her bosom was uncovered, as all the English ladies have it till they marry ; and she had on a necklace of exceeding fine jewels ; her hands were small, her fingers long, and her stature neither tall nor low." Long before this period, she had quarrelled with her looking-glasses ; and her indignation was so great, because they would not flatter, that her female attendants removed the mirrors from any room through which she was about to pass.

This is the earliest regular drama in blank verse in the English language. After travelling for some time in France and Italy, Sackville on his return entered public life, was created in 1 566 Baron Buckhurst, went on an embassy in 1 570 to France to treat of the proposed marriage of the Queen with the Duke of Anjou, and in 1587 was employed as ambassador to the Netherlands to adjust the SOUTH GALLERY.] Portraits. 83 differences between the Dutch and the Earl of Leicester, whose anger he drew down upon himself, and in consequence was imprisoned till the death of his formidable enemy in 1588.

Four years later he was sent to Ireland as deputy. He died May 5, 1586, at Worcester, and was buried at Penshurst, in Kent.

With all these distinctions he died poor, April 6, 1590, and was buried in St. Paul's Cathedral.

She had prevailed upon her first and third husbands, both of whom were very rich, to settle upon her and her heirs all their wealth ; and her last marriage with the Earl of Shrews- bury, one of the richest and most powerful peers of his time, added still more to her wealth, as she persuaded him also to bestow upon her a large portion of his property. She had for some time with her husband the custody of Mary, Queen of Scots, whom at first she fawned upon and flattered ; but her attentions were converted into the most en- venomed hatred, when she began to entertain ambitious schemes for her grandchild, Lady Arabella Stuart. She lived to a great old age, surviving her husband many years, and died in 1607 immensely rich, and it is said without a friend. Lodge says of her : " She was a woman of masculine understanding and conduct, proud, furious, selfish, and unfeel- ing, a builder, a buyer and seller of estates, a money-lender, a farmer, and a merchant of lead and coals."

Panel 22 x 17 in. This picture is described by Granger (Biogr. Hist. I., 101) as having been in the collection of the late James West, Esq. It was engraved in mezzotint by John Faber, jun., in 1742, as " The most illustrious Princess Elizabeth, crowned Queen 0/ England, anno 1558, H. Holbeitt, ftinxt. 1558." In a letter from Mr. Richard Bull to Granger (now in the College Library at Eton) dated February 23, 1773, he states that Walpole was always uncertain whether it was a portrait of the Princess Elizabeth, and that he himself doubted whether it was a portrait at all. A similar picture is at Stanmer Park (see No 282), but the figure differs. The latter is enclosed in a (modern ?) gilt frame on which is in- scribed round the picture — Uxor amet, sileat, servet nec ubique vagetur Hoc Testudo docet, clavis labra juntaque Turtur. 88 Exhibition of the Royal House of Tudor. This picture was part of the famous Lexington collection,and then belonged to Lord George Manners Sutton. It is now in the possession of the Earl of Chichester, great-grandson of Amelia D'Arcy, Countess of Holdernesse, whose great-grandmother, Bridget D'Arcy, was sister of Lord Lexington. In the Emblemata of Hadrianus Junius, drawn by Geoffroy Ballain, and published in 1565, there occurs a similar figure with the exception of the dove. It is entitled, " Uxoriae Virtutes," and> below are some appropriate verses in Latin. Lent by G. E. Martin, Esq. 282. The Princess Elizabeth op v " The Perfect Wife." (See No. 281.)

He was educated by his father as a Protestant, but at an early age changed this creed for that of his ancestors. He assumed the title of Eajl of Arundel in right of his mother, and was accordingly summoned among the peers in 1583, and in the same year restored in blood. At one time he was a great favourite with Queen Elizabeth, but soon fell under suspicion on account of his strong Catholic views. He was in consequence summoned before the Star Chamber, condemned to a fine of 10,000/. and imprisoned during the Queen's pleasure. After enduring a year's confinement he was in 1589 arraigned for high treason and sentence of death was passed upon him, but Elizabeth having secretly resolved that he should not be executed kept him in prison till his death, October 19, 1595, which occurred, as stated on his coffin, non absque veneni suspitione. He married at the age of fourteen, Anne, sister and co-heir of Thomas, last Lord Dacre of Gillesland, by whom he had issue one son, Thomas, known as Lord Maltravers, and one daughter, Elizabeth, who died young.

Allying himself to the Protector Somerset, he was in 1 547 appointed Master of Requests, and in the following year Secretary of State. Under Mary, Cecil resigned his office, but was reappointed by Elizabeth on her accession, whose policy he directed for over forty years. He was created Lord Burghley in 1 57 1 , a K.G. in the following year, and succeeded the Marquess of Winchester as Lord High Treasurer, an office which he held until his death, August 15, 1 598. Cecil was twice married ; 1st to Mary, sister of Sir John Cheke, by whom he had Thomas, his successor, and secondly, to Mildred, dau. of Sir Anthony Cooke, and mother of Robert, Earl of Salisbury. When NORTH GALLERY.] Portraits. 91 asked how he accomplished so much, Cecil answered that "the shortest way to do many things was by doing only one at a time." Elizabeth was deeply sensible of the loss of such a servant, and it is said that to the end of her life she could never hear or pronounce his name without tears. She always spoke of Burghley as her " spirit," her " leviathan." 291. Henry Carey, Lord Hunsdon, K.G. (1524?-! 596).

He sat for Banbury in Parliament in 1547, was knighted on j the accession of Elizabeth, and in the following year, January 13, 1559, was created Baron Hunsdon, with a grant of the mansion of Hunsdon, and a pension of ^4,000 a year. Installed a K.G. in 1 561 , he was next year sent to Charles IX. of France with the Order of the Garter, and in 1569 appointed Governor of Berwick, and whilst holding that office drove the insurrectionary Earls of Northumberland and Westmoreland into Scotland. In 1583 Elizabeth made him Lord Chamberlain of her household, and in 1586 Warden of the Marches towards Scotland, Keeper of Teviotdale, and one of the commissioners for the trial of Mary Queen of Scots. When England was threatened by the Spanish Armada, Lord Hunsdon had charge of the person of the Queen at the camp of Tilbury. He is said to have been much disappointed in never attaining the dignity of Earl of Wiltshire, his grandfather's title, and that when Elizabeth visited him on his deathbed, and laid on the coverlet a patent raising him to an earldom, he replied, " Madam, seeing you counted me not worthy of this honour whilst I was living, I count myself unworthy of it now I am dying." He died at Somerset House, July 23, 1596. 292. Margaret Audley, 2nd Wife of Thomas, 4TH Duke of Norfolk (i 540-1 564).

Anne Clifford, Countess of Dorset, Pembroke, and Montgomery (i 590-1676). Four half-length figures of the Countess, taken in the state of childhood, youth, middle age, and widowhood. Canvas, oval, 27 x 23 in. In her diary for 1619, the Countess says that her picture was drawn by Larking. Pennant says that " Mr. Walpole showed him a medal with the head of the Countess exactly resembling the last of these pictures ; on the reverse is Religion, represented by a female figure, crowned and standing, in one hand the Bible ; the left arm embracing a cross." Anne Clifford, Countess of Dorset, Pembroke, and Montgomery, was the only surviv- ing child of George, Earl of Cumberland, and Lady Margaret Russell, dau. of Francis, 2nd Earl of Bedford. Born at Skipton Castle, January 30, 1 590, she married, February 25, 1609, Richard Sackville, Lord Buckhurst, by whom she had three sons, who died young, and two daughters. Lord Buckhurst dying March 28, 1624, she married, June 3, 1630, Philip Herbert, 4th Earl of Pembroke and Montgomery, by whom she had no issue, and who died in 1650. On the death of Henry Clifford, 5th and last Earl of Cumberland, without male issue, the large family estates in the North reverted to the Countess. Her passion for bricks and mortar was immense. She restored. Skipton, Appleby, Brougham, Brough, Pendragon, and Bar-don Tower, also several churches and chapels, and built the almshouses at Appleby. It was her custom to reside at each one of her six castles, where she freely dispensed her charity and hospitality. Though generous to her friends and dependents, she was frugal in her personal expenses, dressing after her second widowhood in black serge, living abstemiously, and pleasantly boasting "that she had never tasted wine and physic." She wrote curious memoirs of herself preserved in the Harleian MSS. She died March 22, 1676, in her 87th year, and was buried in the vault which she had built in Appleby Church. Lent by The Lord Hothfield. 297. Court of Wards and Liveries. View of the interior of a "court," with various personages seated at a table, others standing " without the bar." The seated figure at the head of the table is supposed to be Lord Burghley, Master of the Court from the beginning of the reign of Elizabeth till his death in 1598 ; on either side of him are the Chief Justices, as assessors: the second figure, on the left, may be Thomas Seckford, the Surveyor, 1580-1589 : the third on the left, George Goring, the Receiver-General, reading a scroll ; next to him Marmaduke Servant, the Usher of the Court, with rod in his hand. The second figure to the right is probably Richard Kingsmill, attorney, and next to him William Tooke, the Auditor, with a book open before him, and on his left, Seward Taylor, the messenger. The three persons at the lower end of the table answer to the clerks. Outside the bar, on the left, is the Queen's serjeant in royal robes, and opposite, on the other side, is a counsellor pleading. At the bottom, without the bar, are two sergeants, Thomas Gent, and Edmund Anderson. Parchment 30 x 28 in. The above particulars are taken from Vertue's engraving, published in the Vetusta Monumenta, Vol. I., pi. 70. The names of the various personages are mostly conjectural. The Court of Wards and Liveries was first erected in the reign of Henry VIII. for the administration of the estates of the King's wards during their minority, and for delivery of seisin upon coming of age.

On the accession of James I. Egerton was reappointed Lord Keeper, and subsequently promoted to the Lord Chancellorship, with the dignity of Baron Ellesmere, an office which he filled till within a few days of his death. In 1616, he was created Viscount Brackley, and James I. promised him an earldom, but he died before the patent could be made out, March 15, 1 6 1 7.

In 1573, he succeeded his father in his title and estates, was installed a K.G., and made Lord Chamberlain of the Royal Household, and in 1585 constituted Lord High Admiral of England. He commanded the fleet which defeated and dispersed the Spanish Armada in 1588, and also that which captured Cadiz in 1596. For this latter success Howard was created Earl of Nottingham, and appointed Justice Itinerant of all the forests south of the Trent. In 1601 he suppressed the Earl of Essex's insurrec- tion, and was principally concerned in bringing that nobleman to the block. James I. continued him in all his employments, and at his coronation appointed him Lord High Steward. In 1605 he went as ambassador to Spain, and in 1613 convoyed the Princess Elizabeth on her marriage to Flushing. He died December 14, 1624.

Panel 42 x 2Sh in. Robert Devereux, 2nd Earl of Essex, son of Walter, 1st Earl, born November 10, 1 567, was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge. Lord Burghley, to whose guardian- ship he had been entrusted, introduced him to Court, where " his goodly person " and "innate courtesy" soon procured him the special favour of Elizabeth. In 1585 he accompanied the Earl of Leicester to Holland as General of the Horse, distinguished him- self at the battle of Zutphen, and on his return to England was made Master of the Horse, and elected K.G. In 1 5Q 1 he commanded the forces sent to the assistance of Henry IV. of France against Spain, and in 1596 accompanied Lord Howard in the expedition against Cadiz. In 1597 he was made Earl Marshal, but next year, presuming on Elizabeth's fondness and admiration for him, he rudely turned his back upon her in the Council Chamber, for which she boxed his ears and told him "to go and be hanged." Essex was thereupon banished from the Court, but being in a measure restored to the Queen's favour, he was sent to Ireland as Lord-Lieutenant. On his concluding a treaty with the Irish Chieftain Tyrone and returning to London without the permission of the Council, he was deprived of his dignities and placed under restraint. In 1601, having attempted to excite an insurrection in London against the Queen, he was imprisoned, tried, found guilty of high treason and executed February 25, 1601. Essex was rash, bold, and pres imptuous ; but brave, generous and affectionate. In 1 591, during the campaign in Normandy, Sir Thomas Coningsby {Journal of the Siege of Rone?i) thus speaks of him : " For such a body hath he made of yron supporting travaile and passioned in all extremities that the following of him did tyre our bodies that are made of flesh and boane." Also in 1 596 in the attack on Cadiz the assailants under Essex were on the point of being repulsed, when at the critical moment he rushed forward, seized his own colours and threw them over the wall " giving withal a most hot assault unto the gate, where, to save the honour of their ensign, happy was he that could first leap down from the wall and with shot and sword make way through the thickest press of the enemy."

Her brother, Sir Philip Sidney, dedicated to her his celebrated romance, the Arcadia. She was carefully edu- cated in modern and ancient languages, including Hebrew, wrote many verses, but the small pieces of her prose surpass them.

In 1 525 he visited Rhodes, as a knight hospitaller of St. John of Jerusalem, was Sheriff of Warwickshire and Leicestershire in 1548, and at the accession of Elizabeth was knighted, made a Privy Councillor, and in the following year Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. During the next few years he filled various offices of a minor order, owing his promotion chiefly to his devotion to Elizabeth, and to his attachment to the reformed religion. Cave was often at Court, and the story runs that he once picked up the Queen's garter, which had slipped off while she was dancing. Elizabeth declined to take it from him ; he thereupon tied it on his left arm, and said he would wear it all his life, for the sake of his Royal mistress. (See the picture.) He died April 2, 1 568, having married Margaret, dau. of William Wellington, of Barchestor, Warwickshire, by whom he had one dau., Margaret, wife of Henry Knollys. Lent by The Lord Braye. 314.

An inscription on the back states that this picture was painted by command of Queen Elizabeth after Drake's memorable voyage round the world in 1581. Sir Francis Drake, circumnavigator and admiral, born about 1540 near Tavistock, in Devonshire, at an early age made voyages to Zealand and France. Excited by the exploits of Sir John Hawkins in the New World, Drake abandoned his life of a trader and joined that commander in an expedition to the Spanish Main. Upon his return Drake fitted out a vessel and with it commenced his long series of voyages to the West Indies, in the course of which he sacked the Spanish Colonies, destroyed their ships, and enriched himself with plunder of enormous value. Successive voyages were made in 1570 and 1572, from both of which Drake returned laden with spoil. Under the sanction of Elizabeth, Drake again set sail in 1577 on his famous voyage round the world, which occupied two years and ten months. In spite of the protests of Philip II., Drake was graciously received by Elizabeth, who visited him on board his ship at Deptford, and conferred on him the honour of knighthood. In 1587 he considerably hindered the preparation of the Armada by entering the Roads of Cadiz and destroy- ing over 100 ships, which he afterwards merrily called " singeing the King of Spain's beard." On the approach of the Armada, Drake was appointed vice-admiral under Lord Howard, and made prize of a large galleon commanded by Don Pedro de Valdez. In 1589 he commanded an unsuccessful expedition to Portugal to expel the Spaniards and restore Don Antonio, and in 1595, along with Sir John Hawkins, was sent with a fleet to the West Indies. Both commanders died during the voyage, Hawkins at Puerto Rico, lO I and Drake on board his own ship near the town of Nombre de Dios, June 28, 1596. In person Drake was low of stature, but well formed, had a broad open chest, a very round head, his hair of a fine brown, his beard full and comely, his eyes large and clear, of a fair complexion, with a fresh, cheerful, and engaging countenance.

In 1541 he was Master of the Wards, in 1542 elected a K.G., in 1544 accompanied Henry at the taking of Boulogne, and was one of the King's executors and a member of his son's Council, in whose first year he had custody of the Great Seal, was Lord Master of the Household and President of the Council. On January 19 he was created Earl of Wiltshire, made Lord High Treasurer, and October 12, 1 551, Marquess of Winchester. By his counsels he in a great measure prevented the Duke of Northumberland's attempt to place Lady Jane Grey upon the throne, for which the Queens, Mary and Elizabeth, continued him in his Treasurer's office, which he held for thirty years. Being asked how he preserved his place through so many changes of Government, he replied, " By being a willow a?id not an oak." He died at Basing, March 10, 1572, in his ninety-seventh year.

He was the father of Robert, Earl of Essex. Essex was a man of great courage, but his sanguinary and treacherous conduct towards the native Irish has been strongly condemned, especially in the case of Sir Brian MacPhiline, who with his wife, brother, and retainers, was invited to Belfast, and there treacherously murdered or afterwards executed.

After about a fortnight's exploration he returned to England, and made further attempts on two subsequent occasions to carry out his enterprise. Frobi- sher afterwards served under Drake in the West Indies, and for his distinguished bravery in the fight with the Spanish Armada, July 26, 1588, was knighted. Having been ap- pointed to command a squadron sent to ravage the Spanish coast, he received a wound in an attack on Brest, from the causes of which he died at Plymouth, November 7, 1594.

In 1564 he suffered a temporary relapse of royal favour on account of a pamphlet on the succession of the Crown, but was soon restored through the intervention of his friend Lord Burghley. In 1579, the Queen visited him at Gorhambury, when upon her remarking that his house was too little for him, he replied : " No, madam, but you have made me too big for my house."

In his later years Bacon was remarkable for his corpulence, which occasioned the Queen's remark, " Sir Nicholas's soul lodges well."

The city being insufficiently provided with water, Middleton under- took in 1606 to increase the supply by bringing it from two springs, one in the parish ot Amwell, and the other near Ware, in Hertfordshire. After many difficulties he effected this object, and brought the water to a cistern at Islington in 16 13. He then received letters patent, by virtue of which a company was created and incorporated under the name of " The Governors and Company of the New River." The proprietors received no divi- dend till the year 1633, but since that time the shares have gradually advanced in value, so that a hundred pound share recently sold for nearly ,£100,000. After completing the scheme, Middleton having exhausted all his substance was compelled to engage in the business of a surveyor. In 1622 he was created a baronet, and died in 1631.

Sir Christopher Hatton, Lord Chancellor, born at Holdenby in Northamptonshire in 1540, was educated at St. Mary's Hall, Oxford, and admitted in 1560 a member of the Inner Temple. Instead of following the law he became a courtier, and attracted the Queen's notice by his graceful dancing in a masque at which Lord Robert Dudley, afterwards Earl of Leicester, was the chief personage. He received continuous marks of royal favour in the form of various appointments, and represented Higham Ferrers in Parliament in 1571 and the county of Northampton in 1572. On November II, 1577, he was raised to the office of Vice-Chamberlain, was sworn of the Privy Council and knighted in the following December. He took an active part in the proceedings against Mary Queen of Scots in 1587, and not only escaped any censure on that account on the part of Elizabeth but was in the same year rewarded with the high office of Lord Chancellor, and elected a K.G. in April, 1588. His elevation to the post of Lord Chan- cellor created some surprise, as he never seriously studied law. His experience, however, as a courtier had taught him prudence and when he sat in Court he always required the attendance of four masters in Chancery, so that he conducted his duties in such a manner as to escape condemnation from his legal contemporaries and to retain the favour of his Sovereign. In 1588 he was elected Chancellor of the University of Oxford. He died November 20, 1591, it is said of a broken heart, as some affirm, occasioned by the Queen demanding a debt which he was unable to pay. By Cornelius Ketel. Lent by The Earl of Winchilsea. 346.

Dated 1602. Age of son 8. Canvas 78 X 48 in. Sir Walter Raleigh, son of Walter Raleigh, of Fardel, in Devonshire, born at Budleigh in 1552, was educated at Oriel College, Oxford, where his residence was brief, relinquishing study for adventure. His first expedition was to France, in aid of the Huguenots. He next served in the Netherlands, assisting the Dutch in their patriotic struggle against the Spaniards ; in 1579 he went on a voyage to America with his half- brother, Sir Humphrey Gilbert ; and on his return distinguished himself against the Irish rebels. His first introduction to the notice of Queen Elizabeth, when he is said to have thrown down his cloak for her to walk upon, has been admirably related by Sir Walter Scott in his tale of Kenilworth. In 1584 at his own expense he fitted out an expedition, and took possession of that part of America afterwards called in honour of Elizabeth Virginia, and on his return was knighted. He bore an active part in the destruction of the Spanish Armada, and in 1592 commanded an expedition against Panama. Soon after this he fell under the royal displeasure on account of an intrigue with Elizabeth, dau. of Sir Nicholas Throgmorton, a maid of honour, whom he privately married. In 1595 he was engaged on a fruitless expedition to Guiana, having for its object the discovery of the fabled El Dorado ; was appointed admiral of the fleet in the expedition to Cadiz in the following year, and took an active part in the downfall of Essex. With the death of Elizabeth his fortunes fell, as on the accession of James I. he was stripped of all his pre- ferments, and being accused of conspiring with others to place Lady Arabella Stuart on the throne, was tried at Winchester and condemned ; but the sentence was respited, and he was confined for thirteen years in the Tower. During his period of confinement he produced besides several poetical, military, maritimal, and geographical treatises, his famous History of the World. Released in 1615 he once more sailed for Guiana, but the enterprise again failed, and on his return being accused of a piratical expedition against Genoa, which did not publicly transpire at the time, he was executed on his former sentence, dying with firmness and resignation, October 29, 16 1 8. The execution took place in Old Palace Yard, and his body was interred in St. Margaret's, Westminster. Raleigh was a man of noble presence, tall, well shaped, and not too slender, his hair of a dark colour, and pale. He was possessed of a versatile and commanding genius, and the moral elevation of his mind shone out eminently in the darkness which beset his later fortunes. When Raleigh set out on his last expedition to America in 1617, he took with him his eldest son Walter, then aged 23, who was killed by the Spaniards at St. Thome. Captain Kemys was so enraged at the death of young Raleigh that he burnt the place to the ground ; but being reproached by Sir Walter for this act was so distressed that he committed suicide.

Sir Henry Hobart, Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, was the son of Thomas Hobart, of Plumstead, in Norfolk, and great-grandson of Sir James Hobart, Attorney- General to Henry VII. He was appointed Steward of Norwich in 1595, and returned to Parliament as member for Yarmouth in 1597, for which place and for Norwich he sat on several succeeding occasions. He was made Attorney of the Court of Awards in 1605, being knighted about the same time ; and on July 4 of the next year was promoted to be Attorney-General, in succession to Sir Edward Coke. Hobart was created a Baronet in 161 1, and Chief Justice of the Common Pleas in 1613, over which he presided for a period of twelve years, during which time he proved himself a sound lawyer and an upright Judge, with so little imputation on his honesty and independence, as to form one of the exceptions to the general subserviency of the Bench. In 16 17 he was selected as Chancellor to Prince Charles. He died at Blickling, in Norfolk, December 26, 1625, and was buried in Christ Church, Norwich. By C. Jansen.

In 1559 he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth, and appointed for a short time ambassador at the Court of the King of Spain's Regent at Brussels. In 1564, having lost his only son, Gresham resolved to devote a portion of his great wealth to the erection of a house or exchange, like that at Antwerp, for the London merchants. The building was formally opened by Elizabeth in 1570, who named it the Royal Exchange. He also under his will founded and endowed Gresham College, and provided for the erection and sup- port of eight alms-houses. He died suddenly, November 21, 1579. By Sir Antonio More. Lent by T. L.

Canvas 6ii X 4 1 in- Francis Bacon, Lord Verulam, Viscount St. Albans, Lord Chancellor, born January 22, 1 561, was the son of Sir Nicholas Bacon (see No. 335). In early childhood on account of the precociousness of his intelligence, he was called by Elizabeth her " young Lord Keeper." Educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, he continued his studies at Paris, being attached to the suite of Sir Amias Paulet, the English ambas- sador. On the death of his father in 1579 he returned to England, betook himself to the study of law, and allied himself with the Earl of Essex, at whose trial for high treason he afterwards appeared as prosecuting counsel. Knighted in 1603, he became Solicitor-General in 1607, Attorney- General in 161 3, Lord Keeper of the Great Seal in 1 617, and a year later attained the dignity of Lord Chancellor with the title of Lord Verulam. In 1621 he was created Viscount St. Albans, but shortly afterwards being found guilty on his own confession of bribery and corruption was heavily fined and deprived of office by the House of Lords on May 3, 1621. Banished from public life he devoted himself to literature and science, and died at Highgate in 1626 at the house of his friend the Earl of Arundel. While the public life of Bacon is marked by dishonour and corruption, his literary and scientific works are everywhere illumined by an intellect which towered over those of other men of the time.

On the death of Edward VI. he went to Germany, and resided at Strasburg till the accession of Elizabeth, who appointed him Bishop of London in 1559, and employed him much in the settlement of the Church and in drawing up the Liturgy. He was translated to York in 1570, and thence to Canterbury in 1575. Having incurred the Queen's displeasure for the favour shown by him to what were called prophesyings, he was suspended for awhile ; but the sequestration being taken off he was continued in his office but voluntarily resigned in 1582 on account of his blindness and other infirmities. He died at Croydon, July 6, 1583. He was distinguished as a preacher. Lent by The University of Cambridge. NORTH GALLERY.] Portraits. 127 417.

Canvas 29J X 25 in. The scarf which Sir Richard Wingfield wears was that presented to him by Queen Elizabeth on his return to England in 1601. When he presented himself at Court the Queen said to him, " Sir Richard, what is to be your reward for your faithful services ? " Sir Richard bowed low and replied, " The Scarf which your Majesty wears is sufficient reward for me." Upon which the Queen tied the scarf round him, as is shown in the picture. Sir Richard Wingfield, ist Viscount Powerscourt, son of Sir Richard Wingfield, Governor of Portsmouth in the reiga of Elizabeth, commenced his distinguished military career under his uncle, the Lord Deputy Sir William Fitzwilliam, in the civil wars in Ireland. For these distinguished services he was knighted, November 9, 1595, and appointed Marshal of Ireland in succession to Sir Richard Bingham, November 29, 1600. In 1601 he signed the articles of capitulation of Cork, by the surrender of which place Ireland was freed from the Spaniards, and Tyrone was driven back into Ulster. At the accession of James t. he was appointed a member of the Privy Council, and in 1608 suppressed the rising in Ulster : he was joined in the Government of Ireland in 161 3, and again in 1624, having in the interim, February 10, 161 8, been elevated to the peerage of that kingdom as Viscount Powerscourt. He died without issue in 1634, his estates but not his title devolving upon his cousin, Sir Edward Wingfield. By C. Jansen. Lent by The VISCOUNT POWERSCOURT, K.P. 418. Queen Elizabeth (1558-1603).

Canvas 88 x 65 in. There are several portraits of Elizabeth which abound in " concetti," and accompanied by emblems of animals or inanimate things. In a picture, at Hampton Court she is represented as issuing out of a palace accompanied by two female attendants ; Juno, Pallas, and Minerva seem flying before her ; Juno drops her sceptre and Venus her roses ; Cupid flings away his bow and arrows, and clings to his mother. Pictures at Hatfield show her in a robe sprinkled with representations of ears and eyes, also with an ermine as the emblem of charity. There is also a picture of her at Hardwick Hall, in which her bust is worked with eyelet holes, having the silk and needle hanging down from each, an allegory much too recondite for common apprehension. The pastoral poems of that age abound in compliments to her beauty, but, as Warton observes, "the present age sees her charms and her character in their proper character."

In January, 1526 — 7, Sir Thomas Wyat accompanied Sir John Russell, after Lord Privy Seal, on an embassy from Henry VIII. to Pope Clement VII. The ambassadors were hospitably received by the Pope, and at twelve miles from Rome were met by a high official of the court, and conducted to their lodgings. Scarcely had the chief favourite of his holiness departed, when another messenger arrived accompanied by two of the chief beauties of the papal court, whom he introduced to the travellers, who answered this courtesy by calling for wine, after which given with a compliment in crowns, and much laughter, the ladies and the messengers were dismissed together. "This fashion was taken as a test to ascertain whether they had come furnished with an abundance of crowns. K 2 132 Exhibition of the Royal Hotise of Tudor. But Sir Thomas took it withal to be an Italian scorn, and kind of pronostick of the event of their success." The business on which they came was much delayed, and Sir John Russell being called to the Privy Council, the ambassadors left Rome without accom- plishing their mission. Sir Thomas, enraged at the conduct of the Pope, drew on the wall of an Inn, where he was stopping, the above picture, the circumstance of which cannot be better recounted than by giving the following extract from the Wyat papers : — " After much delays and expense of moneys in the court of Rome, the ambassador urging earnestly his defects on letters from the king, he finally received answers of evil- satisfaction, according to the expectation of the former pronostick, which signified to the King, he was suddenly called home by new letters- And on his return, in a certain place changing horses, Sir Thomas in his chamber, on the wall drew a maze, and in it a minotaur with a triple crown on his head, both as it were falling, and a bottom of thread with certain guives and broken chains there lying by, and over this word, Laqueus contritus est et ?ios liberati sumus. This was but finished when the ambassador remounted with Sir Thomas : he on the way told him what he had left behind him in return of the scorn used to them at their arrival to Rome, and in disdain of the want of success of the King's affairs there. At it my lord laughed heartily, specially (you may suppose) after he heard his holiness, and all his college of cardinals wisdoms were troubled to scan upon a draft of the imprese, sent to Rome by some that advertised of the author of it. But much the King is said to have taken pleasure to hear the discourse of it at my lord's return, and it was thought an occasion to the King of his employing Sir Thomas the more in his services of Importance and trust ever after.'* Lent by The Earl of Romney. 437.

In 1551 he obtained the rectory of Sunningwell, Berks, but at the accession of Mary retired to Frankfort, and thence to Strasburg, where he renewed his acquaintance with Martyr. At the accession of Elizabeth he returned home, and in 1559 was made Bishop of Salisbury. Died at Monkton Farley, Wilts, September 21, 1 57 1. Lent by Merton College, Oxford. 465.

Half-length, life-size, to left, in the dress of her order. Canvas 26^ x 2 r in. The Abbey of Elstow was founded by Judith, Countess of Huntingdon, for Benedictine Nuns, during the reign of William I. It was dissolved with the other monasteries during the reign of Henry VI II., and the site granted in 1553 to Sir Humphrey Radclyffe, younger brother of the Earl of Sussex. In the south aisle of the chancel of the church at Elstow is the tomb of Elizabeth Hervey, the last abbess, placed there by herself in her lifetime with blank spaces for the dates. As she survived the dissolution of the abbey, it is probable that her body never reached its intended place of burial. Lent by Mrs. Harvey of Ickwell, Bury. 470.

Having acted as the instrument of Cecil in his correspondence with the King of Scotland, James I., on his accession to the English throne, received him into favour, and in May, 1603, made him a Privy Councillor, in 1604 Lord Warden of the I4i Cinque Ports, and Baron of Marnhill and Earl of Northampton, in 1605 a K.G., and in April, 1608, Lord Privy Seal. In 1609 he succeeded John, Lord Lumley, as High Steward of Oxford, and in 1612 Robert, Earl of Salisbury, as Chancellor of the Uni- versity of Cambridge.

The Earl, however, died June 15, 1614, a few months before the inquiry into the death of Overbury.

This is a cap-a-pie suit of russet and gilt with burgonet and buffe, the arms of the Earl of Pembroke, with Garter, &c, are shown in several places. Lent by The Earl of Pembroke. 575. Armour of Anne de Montmorency, K.G., Constable of France, one of the most distinguished captains of the century. Though a great soldier, he had bad fortune, being made a prisoner at Pavia with Francis I. in 1525, again taken and badly wounded at St. Ouentin, August 10, 1557, and a third time a prisoner at the battle of Dreux, which his army nevertheless won December, 1562. He died November 10, 1567, of his wound received at the battle of St. Denis, aged 74. This is a three-quarter blue and gilt suit with burgonet and buffe and splinted breast and back. A large suit.

Lent by The Earl of Pembroke. 577. Armour of George Clifford, Earl of Cumberland, K.G. This, perhaps the finest existing suit of russet and gilt armour, was probably worn by the Earl at his taking over from Sir Henry Lee (afterwards K.G.), the office of Champion of Queen Elizabeth, the chief duties of which office appear to have been the presiding at the jousts and tournaments held every Queen's day, November 17, at West- minster, at the back of the present Horse Guards, then as now known as the Tilt Yard. Exhibition of the Royal House of Tudor. With this suit are additional pieces for the tilt, all of the same ornamentation as the suit, viz., grandgarde, pasguard, extra piece for the lower part of the vizor. Also there are a chanfrein, criniere, and saddle-steels, front and back, and stirrups, all of the same design as the suit. With these are also placed saddle-steels of another saddle of the same rich ornamentation but of a different design. Lent by The Lord Hothfield. LENT BY THE BARON DE C OSS ON 578. Complete Suit of Armour of the reign of Henry VIII., of German make, entirely fluted, and of the fashion called Maximilian armour. In old English inventories it would have been described as a " field " or " hosting (war) harness, crested," to distinguish it from the harness specially made for tilt or tourney. This suit, which came from Lord Stafford's armoury in 1885, is one of the finest examples of this kind of armour extant. The helmet opens down the chin, and is attached to the gorget by a rim. The breastplate is remarkable for being made in two pieces, after the fashion of fifteenth century armour, with some delicate open work at the upper edge of the lower portion. The neck-guards on the shoulders are exceedingly large. The heart- shaped wings of the elbow-pieces could be removed for fighting on foot, the inside of the arm being completely covered with articulated plates. There is an armourer's mark on several of the pieces, consisting of the letters L. B. surmounted by a lion's head. The fluting is close and narrow, and the steel exceedingly hard. The chain-mail breeches are of the date of the suit. The figure holds a lance with its large vamplate of the same period. The leather burr below the grip of the lance rested against the lance-rest, which is on the right side of the breastplate, and transferred the shock of a hit to the body of the warrior, his whole weight being thus available to give power to his thrust. TILTING PIECES. Most of these pieces, it will be noticed, more especially protect the left side of the wearer, that being the side which was presented to the point of the adversary's lance, the lance being held in the right hand, and pointing across the horse's head. It will be seen that the lance rest of the suit of No. 689, is strongly inclined towards the left, thus showing the direction of the lance when couched. 579. Large German Bevor, which could be fixed to the breastplate for tilting, and which protected the neck and lower part of the helmet. Reign of Henry VIII. 580. Volant-Piece, for tilting, decorated with engraving, time of Philip and Mary. This piece, which in England is usually called a placcate, reinforced the whole of the breastplate to which it was screwed for tilting. In Spanish inventories it is termed Volante de fteto. Where, as in No. 584, it only covers a portion of the breastplate, it is CENTRAL HALL.] Arms and Armour. termed medio volante. Obtained by exchange from the Royal Armoury at Madrid, of which it bears the stamp. There is a lance rest of the same epoch with it. 581. Shoulder-Piece for tilting, with engraved bands round the edges. This piece was screwed on to the ordinary shoulder-piece of the armour, to reinforce it when used for tilting. Reign of Philip and Mary. 582. Crest-Piece of a Spanish helmet, of the time of Philip and Mary. These pieces, sometimes called, I think erroneously, plume-holders, are peculiar to Spanish helmets. The name of this piece in Spanish inventories of the epoch is escq/ia, or coif. This one is engraved and gilt. 583. Tilting Bevor, belonging to the same helmet as the crest-piece, No. 582. This piece, in Spanish, is described as a barbote, or baberon de justa. 584. Set of Pieces for Tilting, consisting of a tilting helmet with its bevor, on which is screwed the volant-piece for the left side of the breast and left shoulder, and a large elbow guard, covering the greater portion of the arm. These pieces were used to reinforce those portions of the ordinary suit of armour most exposed to hurt in tilting, and a set like this went in France by the name of " hmit appareil" Reign of Elizabeth. 585. Volant-Piece, for reinforcing the upper portion of the visor of a helmet of the type of No. 702, which has holes for the screws which held it. The lower part of the visor was reinforced by a tilting bevor as in No. 584, where it is firmly screwed to the volant piece for the breast. Reign of Elizabeth. 586. Reinforcing-Piece for the left shoulder, with a high guard for the neck. This piece is found principally on Italian and Spanish suits of armour of the second half of the 16th century, and in Spain was termed a Bufa. It was applied to the left shoulder of the ordinary suit when used in the tilt yard. Reign of Elizabeth. LENT BY EDWIN BRETT, ESQ. 587. Cap-a-Pie Fluted Suit, upright guards on shoulders.

WAR SWORDS, TOWN SWORDS, AND DAGGERS LENT AND DESCRLBED BY THE BARON DE C OSS ON WAR SWORDS. These being intended for use with gauntlets, are not, as a rule, provided with knuckle-guards, and the cross-guard or pair of quillons is the principal feature of the hilt. They are, as a rule, heavier and more powerful than the town sword or rapier. CENTRAL HALL.] Arms and Armour. 655. Sword, of the reign of Henry VII. This is a short, broad-bladed sword for combat on foot, and belongs to the close ot the 15th century. There is a savage holding a club and a shield engraved on either side of the blade, and armourer's marks (a heart and a P twice repeated), which exist on a very similar blade in the Musee d'Artillerie at Paris. The hilt is blued, and delicately ribbed. The quillons curve towards the blade ; the grip is covered with cord. 656. Claymore, Scotch, of the end of the 15th century or beginning of the 16th. Although the hilts of these swords, of which many exist in Scotland, have a 15th century character, and some no doubt may date from earlier times, still the blades of many of them are unquestionably of the early portion of the 16th century. The armourer's marks on the blade of this one (which came from the Marquess of Bredalbane's collection) render it probable that it is of German make, and of the reign of Henry VIII. 657. Sword, of the reign of Henry VI II., German, with a triple grooved blade of superb temper, and very light in the hand, notwithstanding its length. It has its original sheath. Armourer's marks on blade. 658. Sword, South German, of the reign of. Henry VIII. This sword and the next, No. 659, came from the Arsenal of Innsbruck. They are of the kind called in Italy " spada da mano e mezza" hand and a half swords, as they could either be used with one hand, or, by seizing the pommel in the left hand, with both. The grip is of fish skin, the pommel pear-shaped. There are armourer's marks on the blade. The quillons are bold and straight, and the counter-guards small. 659. Sword, South German, of the reign of Henry VIII. Very similar to No. 658, but with the addition of a guard for the back of the hand. It has its sheath, with a ring-formed chape. 660. Sword, of the reign of Henry VIII., German. This is also a hand and a half sword, but the pommel is of different form, and the quillons are curved, the one curved upwards forming a defence for the back of the hand. 661 Sabre, of the reign of Henry VIII. The pommel and the ends of the quillons are in the form of lions' heads. It will be noticed that the guards for the back of the hand are almost identical with those of the big fighting sword, No. 659. The blade has an armourer's mark on the under side, consist- ing of a hand holding a falchion. 662. Practising Sword, for learning the use of the two-handed sword, temp. Henry VIII. Swords of this form are seen in the hands of the swordsmen in Plate 40 of the Triumph of Maximilian. The blades are of soft steel, rounded at the end, and have no 158 Exhibition of the Royal House of Tudor. edges. This one bears a negro's head as armourer's mark, and is probably by Andreis Munesten, of Solingen, who used this mark. It will be remembered that Henry VIII. was himself an adept in two-handed sword play. 663. Practising Sword, similar to the last, No. 662, only bearing different armourer's marks, amongst which are the so-called wolf and the letters L.K. 664. Sword, of the reign of Edward VI. or Philip and Mary, South German, with long blade of the rapier type and blued hilt. This blue was termed in Italy " ' pavonazzo? 1 The long quillons have a bold horizontal sweep in opposite directions, the pommel is heavy and spherical, there are two ring guards on the outer side, and a ring for the thumb on the inner. A number of swords of this type are still preserved at the Castle of Ambras in the Tyrol. 665. Sword, of similar form to the last (No. 664) only that the quillons are straight and that it has its original sheath and sword belt, with prettily chased buckles, hooks, rings, &c. 666. Sword, of the reign of Elizabeth. This is a soldier's weapon, and by reason of its stiff, taper, sharp-edged blade, a very formidable and useful weapon. A certain number of swords identical with this one formerly existed in Italy, but they are rarely met with in such good condition. The hilts being of rapier form and substantial, have often been damascened or chased by modern Italians, and fitted to rapier blades, so as to pass as richly decorated weapons. TOWN SWORDS OR RAPIERS. The fashion of wearing swords in every day life began with the 16th century. At an earlier date the dagger or anlace was the civil weapon. The practice of using swords without steel-covered gauntlets led to the invention of all the complicated guards which characterize the complete rapier. They may be seen in their completest form in No. 67 3 % At a later date there was a tendency to simplify them. The principal feature is the knuckle guard, which became needful when the sword was used without a gauntlet. The hilts of the earlier ones are unsymmetrical, that is to say, the guards on the outer side are much more developed and more decorated than those on the inner. Towards the close of the century they become symmetrical, being similar in form and decoration on both sides of the blade, and at this time the guards usually comprise a pair of shells next the blade, which, gradually increasing, lead to the cup form of hilt common in the 17th century. It must be remembered that all rapiers were held with the first and often the first and second fingers clasped round the square portion of the blade next the cross CENTRAL HALL.] Arms and Armour. 159 guard, called the ricasso, hence the very short grips met with on unaltered rapiers. This mode of holding the rapier prevented the possibility of its being wrested from one's grasp and also threw the centre of gravity of the whole weapon nearer the hand, the heavy pommel forming a counterpoise to the long blade. Rapiers, with their original blades, usually balance four fingers (or three inches) from the base of the guard. 667. Sword, Spanish, of the reign of Henry VIII. This is an early form of the town sword, the guard for the knuckles not reaching to the pommel, but being a rather prolonged and upturned quillon. The hilt is entirely decorated with the work termed azziminia in Italy, ataujia in Spain, and tauchie in France, and which consists of delicate designs in gold and silver hammered on to the hatched surface of the iron or steel. Swords of this form are seen in Holbein portraits, and in others of the time. The blade is probably of Valencian make. This sword formerly belonged to Fortuny the painter, and was purchased by him at Madrid. 668. Rapier, Italian, of the reign of Philip and Mary. The blade is signed caino on the ricasso. Caino is said to have worked at Brescia. The decoration of the hilt is similar to that on the next sword (No. 669), but the form of hilt is simpler. There are no guards on the inner side of the blade, and the knuckle-guard is formed by a sharply upturned quillon, the opposite one being turned downwards. 669. Rapier, Italian, of the reign of Elizabeth. The blade bears the maker's name, picinino, on the ricasso, and the hilt is inlaid with a design in silver. The form of this guard is typical of the complete Italian rapier of the second half of the 16th century. The Picininos were a distinguished family of armourers at Milan during this period. 670. Rapier, Italian, of the reign of Elizabeth. The blade bears the inscription Antonio in TOLEDO, but appears of Italian make (note "in Toledo" for en Toledo), like all the blades signed in that way. There are armourer's marks on the ricasso. The hilt is of great dimensions, of the usual Italian form, and richly chased with battle scenes, lions' heads, &c. 671. Rapier, of the reign of Elizabeth. Blued hilt of Italian fashion, blade by Clemens Wopper, of Solingen. 672. Rapier, of the reign of Elizabeth.

Rapier, for duelling, of the middle of the reign of Elizabeth. This very long rapier has an Italian blade, but was probably mounted in France. The hilt is entirely plated with silver and decorated with a small design in pointille work. It is symmetrical, that is to say, of the same form on both sides of the blade. There are two large pierced shells enclosed in the ring-guards, and two small rings outside them near the blade, to engage or break the adversary's point. The great length of this rapier makes it probable that it was principally intended for duelling. In 1 599 J. de Charmolue, after bequeathing " une petite epee que j'ay a Troyes qui a la garde doree, avec un pommeau la ou est releve le jugement de Pallas et de Venus," says " Je lui laisse ma grande epee de duel .... qui a le fourreau garni d'argent et la poignee d'argent tire." 674. Rapier, Italian, of the reign of Elizabeth, signed on the ricasso, "Sandrino Scacchi," and in the grooves, " Scacchus me fecit Solgn." The hilt of this sword is gilt and symmetrical. It formerly belonged to Fortuny the painter. The personality of Sandrinus Scacchus is still a puzzle. All the rapiers signed by him are found in Italy, and are of Italian fashion ; nor is his name to be found in the known lists of Solingen makers, but the "me fecit Solgn" on this blade clearly indicates that he worked there. 675. Rapier, of the second half of Elizabeth's reign, with i.n.r.i. m.a.r.i.a. inscribed in the grooves of the blade. The guard, which is symmetrical, is formed by a series of rings diminishing towards the blade, and ending in a pair of chased shells. This form of guard indicates the transition to the cap-hilt of the 17th century. 676. Rapier, of the second half of the reign of Elizabeth. The blade is signed clavdio francini. The complicated, twisted, and chased guard terminates in two shells with pierced work and masks. 677. Rapier, of the reign of Elizabeth. The hilt is gilt, and although quite of the end of the 16th century or beginning of the 17th, it is not symmetrical. The blade bears the inscriptions SOLI deo gloria and fides SED cui vide, and a King's head in a gilt medallion, with the name of the maker, adamm aollich me fecit solingen. The King's head is repeated as a punch mark on the ricasso. 678. Rapier, of the last years of Elizabeth. This rapier, although a cup-hilt, is probably one of the earliest forms of that kind of guard ; the cup, which is pierced and engraved, being fixed to the ring-guard by screws, after the fashion of the shells in preceding rapiers. The majority of cup-hilted rapiers, especially the richly chased and pierced Spanish and Italian ones, although often attri- central hall.] Arms and Armour.

The grip is of turned horn. There is no knuckle-ring, showing it was meant to be used in the right hand like a sword. Armourer's mark on blade. 684. Left-hand Dagger, for using with the rapier, of the reign of Mary or Elizabeth. The hilt is inlaid with silver, the blade ribbed, perforated, and serrated at its edges. 685.

CASE D— Central Hall. 689. Part of a Milanese suit of Armour, consisting of the breastplate with a portion of its skirt, backplate with its skirt, front and back of gorget, and the two arms complete from the shoulder to the wrist. These pieces are examples of the best work of the Milanese armourers in the first years of the sixteenth century, and before the practice of embossing their richer armour was adopted by them. The decoration, which is remarkable for its richness, simplicity, and taste, consists, where the ground is not covered with engraving and gilding, in alternate bands of bright steel and of engraving and gilding, separated by ridges in low relief ; the armour being thus of the kind commonly called fluted, and designated in old English inventories as " crested." On the upper part of the breast is a broad band, on which are engraved and gilt the Virgin and Child, with an architectural background, and on either side St. Paul and St. George, each in glory, all in the Lombard style of the fifteenth century. Below, in two lines, is the following inscription in large characters, cristvs . res. (sic) venit . in . pace . et . devs . homo . factvs . es (t). The backplate has iesvs . avtem . transiens . per . medivm . illorvm . ibat, and below a large triangular space covered with engraving and gilding, with flutings on either side of it. On the front of the gorget is a similar triangular space, gilt and engraved with a representation of the Holy Trinity on a nimbus. The decoration of the arms is similar to that of the other pieces. There is no armourer's mark, but it is probable that this suit is the work of Berardino de Negroli, who, with his brothers, was at the head of the great Missaglia-Negroli factory of armour at Milan in 1513 (Archives of Milan). This armour was in the Uboldo collection at Milan, from the early part of this century until 186S. Lent by The Baron de Cosson. CASE E— Central Hall. HEAD PIECES LENT AND DESCRIBED BY THE BARON DE COSSON. 690. Sallad, German, of great strength and beauty of form, from the Soeter collection at Augsburg. This form of defence for the head was used throughout Europe by knights and men- at-arms at the period of the accession of the Tudor family to the throne of England. It was completed by the bevor, and a bevor is placed with it which, although it does not belong to it, fits it well. The armourer's mark on the sallad is a gothic K. The marks on the bevor are of great importance in the history of the armourer's craft. Mr. Boheim has been able to identify the marks on three suits at Vienna as those of the Missaglias of Milan, the leading armourers of the second half of the 1 5th century. He has also discovered the mark of the Negrolis, the greatest of all 16th century armourers, on a CENTRAL HALL.] A Tins and Armour. 163 piece signed by Philip Negroli in 1532. Later investigations have led him to the conclusion that the Missaglias were a branch of the Negroli family coming from the little town of Missaglia in the Brianza, near Ella, a village the name of which is often associated with the Negrolis, who are in documents styled " da Ella." This bevor has first, the crowned M standing for Missaglia, and then twice repeated the reversed cross keys, which occur on the only known piece bearing a Negroli punch mark, thus uniting Missaglias and Negrolis on one piece, in full confirmation of Mr. Boheim's theory. The marks on the gorget plate are I. H. crowned, twice repeated in gothic letters. The history of this piece is singular. Atone time it belonged to the Opera House at Madrid, where it was rivetted to the crown of a cuirassier's helmet for stage purposes. The present owner saw it in that state in Don Jose Vera's collection at Seville, whence it passed into the collection of Fortuny the painter. Recently the Count de Valencia de Don Juan has identified it as forming part of the armoury of Charles V., it being pourtrayed in the album of contemporary illustrations of his armour preserved in the Royal Palace at Madrid, where it figures, together with the two so-called Boabdil helmets, amongst the armour described as " viejo que vino de Fldndres " (old stufY that came from Flanders). It had, therefore, probably, together with the Boabdil helmets, formed part of the aimoury of Philip the Fair, and was sent to Spain when Charles V. became sovereign of that country. 691. Italian Armet, of the time of the battle of Bosworth Field. Helmets of this type were in use throughout Europe during the last quarter of the 15th century. The volant, or reinforcing piece on the forehead, the hinge-attachment of the visor, and the mode in which the helmet opens by means of hinges between the cheek pieces and the crown piece, are the distinctive features of this form of defence for the head. 692. English Armet, of the time of the battle of Bosworth Field. The visor is attached by internal hinges and pins. There is a volant or reinforcing piece on the forehead, and a small bevor covering the lower part of the visor and the chin, on the left side. This last is found on almost all English armets, attached to the helmet. Abroad it was usually a movable piece attached by a strap round the neck. Date about 1490. 693. Armet, probably Italian, of the reign of Henry VII. This armet approaches to the form of close helmet of the 16th century. The visor cannot be removed, being fixed by pivots instead of hinges. There is also a spring catch to fix it down when closed, so that the little bevor is no longer needed, but the mode of opening the helmet is still distinctive of the 15th century. It has an armourer's mark stamped on it. It came from Padua. To the leather strap round the base a camail of chain mail was attached. Date about 1490. 694. Helmet of Nuremberg make, of the reign of Henry VIII. This helmet is of the usual type of those belonging to the fluted suits made in Germany during the reign of the Emperor Maximilian, and often called Maximilian suits. Date about 1525. It bears the Nuremberg mark. M 2 1 64 Exhibition of the Royal House of Tudor. 695. Tournament Helm of Sir Giles Capel, one of the knights who, with King Henry VIII. challenged all comers for thirty days at the Field of Cloth of Gold, A.D. 1520. This form of helm was used for the combat on foot, and perhaps for the tourney. Like all the larger tilting and tournament helms it was firmly fixed to the breastplate, the helmet being large enough for the wearer to turn his head about inside it. Hence the very numerous apertures in the visor, so that one might look about in different directions. The visor is very thick and strong, and the apertures so narrow that no blow or thrust even with the sharp point of an estoc, or as it was termed in England, foining sword, could injure the wearer. A thickly-wadded hood was worn inside, rivetted to the helm at the neck, and tied by aiglettes or arming-points at the sides, through the holes with brass rims, so that it might not flap about inside. This helm hung over the tomb of Sir Giles Capel in Rayne Church, Essex, until 1840, when the church was pulled down. 696. Embossed Casque, of the reign"of Henry VIII., of Italian workmanship and great artistic beauty. This casque was purchased by the late John Walker Baily of a pawnbroker at Hampstead for the sum of £\. The figures represent a warrior (Mars ?) with Victory and Fame holding his moustaches. Date about 1 540. It is of Milanese workmanship, but an attempt to determine what master executed it leads to many interesting questions. In the royal armoury at Madrid there is a casque of similar design, made according to the inscription on it for Charles V. by Philip de Negroli and his brothers in 1535. The variants are that the warrior here wears a turban and the female figures are draped, nor do they end off in fishes' tails. The helmet is also admirably damascened in gold and silver. In the Musee d'Artillerie in Paris there is another superb casque of similar design, still more closely resembling the one exhibited, but presenting some variants. On the French casque in the place of the label is an inscription in Greek characters somewhat rubbed, but which appears to read TAY . AIX IIP02 . A2TEP. The meaning is difficult to understand, but from the similarity of design it seemed probable that this helmet also was the work of the Negrolis. But now it appears that there are at Vienna a shield and casque on the former of which are the words IIP02 . TA . A2TPA . AIA . TAYTA . , which is, no doubt, the correct form of the inscription on the Paris helmet, and the Vienna shield also bears an inscription which Mr. Boheim considers to be a proof that it was made for Charles V. by Lucio Piccinino, a celebrated Milanese master, about the year 1 55 1. The figures of Fame and Victory, with Tritons appear on both casque and shield, and on a fresh examination of the Paris casque the writer is of opinion that it is not by the hand of Negroli, the execution being less stern, and possessing more morbidezza of modelling than in that master's work, and the probability now is that both the Paris helmet and the one exhibited are the work of Lucio Piccinino inspired by the design of N egroli, but whether the two masters ever worked together has not yet transpired. It must be remembered that it is only within the last few years, and by three or four students at most, that any critical study of the work of the great master armourers of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries has been undertaken. 697. Casque, of the reign of Henry VIII. This piece is of Italian make, of graceful and classic form. There is a figure of Cupid on each side of the comb, and arabesques on other portions. The engraving is CENTRAL HALL.] Arms mid Armour. 165 •pure line, not, as in later Italian work, thrown up by a deeply etched ground. The date is 1530-40. Most suits of armour made in Italy had one of these light helmets as well as a close one, a fact proved by examples at Madrid, Vienna, &c. 698. Casque, of similar form and design to the last (No. 697), only the engraving is gilt on a russet ground. On one side of the crest is inscribed Io Ia Pedicinvs. On the other Militvm Dvctor and Svb Karolo. V has been added more roughly. The Io Ia probably stand for iohannes iacobvs, and the inscription would read Giovanni Giacomo Pedicino, leader of troops under Charles V. The date is about the same as that of the last piece. 699. A little pointed Casque, for a foot soldier, of the reign of Henry VIII. or Edward VI. There is a shield with a St. George's cross as the armourer's mark on the umbril. The four-sided crown piece is of good form. 700. Helmet, English, of the end of the reign of Henry VIII. or of that of Edward VI. This helmet exhibits one of the peculiarities of English helmets of this epoch, the very prominent visor with a hollow curve. It is of great weight, and must have been in- tended for tilting. It has its original thickly wadded hood inside. 701. Casque, of the reign of Philip and Mary or Elizabeth. It is of blacked steel, and remarkable for its outline. The comb is very high, and the aperture for the face very small. It is strong and heavy, and a thoroughly useful head- piece for war. 702. Tilting Helmet, of the reign of Elizabeth. This helmet has the Augsburg mark. The crown piece has a considerable swell at the back, and there is a pretty plume holder of engraved brass. In the two portions of the visor are screw-holes for fixing the volant or reinforcing pieces for the tilt. The helmet retains its original wadded hood lined with red silk, and also the cross straps beneath, which formed a spring to take the weight of the helmet when on the head. 703. Tilting Sallad, of the reign of Elizabeth, with its bevor. The bevor was screwed firmly to the breastplate of the suit, and the sallad is fixed to it by a large screw and nut on the front. On the right side of the bevor is a little door with a spring catch, which could be opened by pulling the thong on the outside. This would be opened to facilitate speaking or breathing, without the trouble of removing the helmet after running a course. The visor of the sallad could also be lifted by pulling the button on the right-hand side. This piece was formerly in the Brocas collection. It is exhibited with the Tilting Pieces, Nos. 579 to 586. Exhibition of the Royal House of Ttidor. 704. Tilting Helmet of the reign of Elizabeth. This helmet is of the kind worn with the tilting pieces, No. 584 and has the hole for screwing them to the visor. It also has a small door on the right side of the visor, with a spring catch, which could be opened for the purpose of speaking or getting one's breath. 705. Tilting Helmet of the reign of Elizabeth. This is similar to the last, but heavier. It has its original wadded lining and one of its original aiglettes, or arming-points, for adjusting the tension of the straps inside. 706. Morion, of the reign of Elizabeth. This is of Italian make, with an extrao rdinary high comb without any join in it. To forge such a helmet out of one single piece of steel, show s the remarkable skill of the armourers who produced these pieces. The morion is entirely covered with engraving of rich and bold design. 707. Cabasset, of the end of the reign of Elizabeth. The decoration consists of alternate bands of plain steel, and of bands of spirited engraving, gilt. Each engraved band has an oval medallion with a figure in it. The piece is evidently of Italian workmanship. 708. Helmet, Italian, of the close of the reign of Elizabeth, decorated with richly engraved bands of arabesques. The helmet, although graceful in form, betrays the decadence of the armourer's art. It is closed by a strap and buckle, a usual method at this period, but somewhat unsightly, and the visor is fixed, when down, by a hook, a fashion which henceforward takes the place of all the ingeniously contrived spring catches before in use.

Nicholas Bristowe, a favourite courtier of Henry VIII., was riding with the King and Queen Anne Boleyn in Hertfordshire. Passing Ayot St. Lawrence he greatly admired the place, wondering whose it was. The King said, " It is mine, but now shall be yours." Bristowe asking what evidence he was to produce of the gift, the King gave him the hat he was wearing and asked the Queen for her slippers (see No. 865), saying, " Bring me these in London, and I will give you the Title Deeds." The Hat and Slippers have since always gone with the estate. Lent by Major Ames. 865. Shoes of Anne Boleyn, presented by her to Nicholas Bristowe (see No. 864). Lent by Major Ames. 866.

P. Here Lyethe quene Kateryn Wife to Kyng Henry the VIII and Last the Wife of Thomas Lord of Sudeley high Admiyrall of Englond and Unkle to Kyng Edward the VI dyed 5 September MCCCCCXLVIII." The coffin was again opened in 1784 and 1786, the spot at that time where the body lay being used for the keeping of rabbits, which made holes and scratched about the royal tomb. Again in 1792 the tomb was violated ; the tenant then occupying the Castle allowing a party of inebriated men to dig a fresh grave for the coffin. A tradition lingers in Winchcombe that each one of that band met with an untimely and horrible end. In 1 817, the frequent violations of Queen Katherine 1 s tomb were terminated by the then Rector of Sudeley, the Rev. John Lates, taking upon himself to remove the coffin into the stone vault of the Chandos family, there at last to find a shelter from the eye of the inquisitive and vulgar. Lent by Mrs. Dent. 883.

"A Compendious Treatise on Dyenge Well," &c., by Thomas Lupsete, Londoner, 1541. The volume is a small duodecimo, bound in red velvet, with gilt leaves, and has had ornamental borders and clasps. On the fly-leaf opposite the first page are Scriptural sentences written by the Queen herself. On the opposite side of the fly-leaf are some verses, probably from the Royal pen of Henry VIII., addressed to Katherine. This book was given to Dr. E. Charlton, of Newcastle-on-Tyne, by the sister of the late President of the English College at Valladolid, who obtained it during his residence in Spain. It is not unlikely that it was carried thither by some of the English Catholics who resorted to that country for education. In 1625 it seems to have belonged to John Sherrott. Lent by Mrs. Dent. 891.

A Small Gold Etui, formerly belonging to Anne Boleyn, in the form of a pistol, the barrel serving the purpose of a whistle and enclosing a set of toothpicks ; round the handle is coiled a serpent. A family tradition represents that this interesting trinket was a love token given;! by Henry VIII. to Anne Boleyn, and that the unfortunate Queen on the morning of her execution presented it to Captain Gwyn, the officer on guard, in token of her sense of his respectful conduct towards her. On presenting it, she told him " it was the first token the king had given her/' bidding the officer observe " that a serpent formed part of the device, and a serpent," she said, " the giver had proved to her " (see Strickland's Lives of the Queens of England). Lent by The Rev. Canon W. S. Bevan. 899. Lock of Hair of Mary Tudor, Queen of France, afterwards Duchess of Suffolk. Mary Tudor died in 1534, and was buried in the monastery of Bury St. Edmund, but when that monastery was dissolved, the coffin was removed to the parish church. In September, 1784, the tomb was opened and an act of sacrilegious spoliation was com- mitted. The lead coffin, which was roughly inscribed " Mary Quene of Ffraunc, 1 533," was also opened, the remains were exposed to public view and portions of the hair, still in perfect condition and nearly two feet in length, were cut off. This lock was cut off by Charles Blomfield, Alderman of Bury, in whose family it has since remained. Another lock was presented to the Dowager Duchess of Portland, by Sir John Cullum, who was present at the disinterment, from whom it passed into the possession of the Marquess of Chandos, and sold with the rest of the Duke of Buckingham's treasures at Stowe in 1848.

This medallion is interesting as showing one of the early processes of making medals. In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, when the art of making dies and the machinery then in use would not permit the striking of coins otherwise than in very low relief, medals were cast and not struck. In Germany it was the custom to make models in soap or hone-stone and to cast the silver or bronze from these. In Italy the model was made in wax, but in England it was usually of clay.

This violin is of box-wood, and is carved with woodland scenes. The arms of Elizabeth and the Earl of Leicester are engraved on a silver plate on the finger-board. 15 In the tail-piece is inserted a silver-gilt stud, fastened by a nut inscribed 1 P, supposed to 78 be the date of the instrument and the maker's initials, J. Pemberton. It is, however, generally thought that the wood carving is some centuries earlier than the upper portion of the instrument, and that it dates from about 1330. Hawkins, Hist, of Music, 1776, Vol. IV., p. 342, mentions the violin as having been sold by auction at the sale of the late Duke of Dorset's effects ; and Burney, in his Hist, of Music, London, 1789, Vol. III., p. 16, says, " The instrument is at present the property of Mr. Bremner in the Strand.

Gold Sardonyx Ring, the cameo representing a portrait of Queen Elizabeth in high ruff. The inside is enamelled in blue and gold. It seems to have been originally made for a very small finger, and to have been subsequently enlarged. This is said to be the identical ring given by Queen Elizabeth to Essex. It has descended from Lady Frances Devereux, Essex's daughter, in unbroken succession from mother and daughter to the present owner. (See Lives and Letters of the Devereux, Earls of Essex, 1853, Vol. II., p. 181 ; and Arch. Journal, Vol. IV., p. 178.) There is good evidence that the peace of Elizabeth received an incurable wound by the loss of her unhappy favourite, the Earl of Essex. " Our Queen," writes an English correspondent to a Scottish nobleman in the service of James, "is troubled with a rheum in her arm, which vexeth her very much, besides the grief she hath conceived for my lord NORTH GALLERY.] Relics. 203 of Essex's death. She sleepeth not so much by day as she used, neither taketh rest by night. Her delight is to sit in the dark, and sometimes with shedding tears, to bewail Essex." A remarkable anecdote, first published in Osborn's Traditional Memoirs of Queen Elizabeth, and confirmed by M. Maurier's Memoirs, where it is given on the authority of Sir Dudley Carleton, the English ambassador in Holland, who related it to Prince Maurice, offers the solution of these doubts. According to this story, the Countess of Nottingham, who was a relation, but no friend, of the Earl of Essex, being on her death-bed, entreated to see the Queen, declaring that she had something to confess to her before she could die in peace. On her Majesty's arrival, the Countess produced a ring, which she said the Earl of Essex had sent to her after his condemnation, with an earnest request that she would deliver it to the Queen, as the token by which he implored her mercy ; but which, in obedience to her husband, to whom she had communicated the circumstance, she had hitherto withheld ; for which she entreated the Queen's forgiveness. On sight of the ring, Elizabeth instantly recognized it as one which she had herself presented to her unhappy favourite on his departure for Cadiz, with the tender promise, that of whatsoever crimes his enemies might have accused him, or whatsoever offences he might actually have committed against her, on his returning to her that pledge, she would either pardon him, or admit him at least to justify himself in her presence. Transported at once with grief and rage on learning the barbarous infidelity of which the Earl had been the victim and herself the dupe, the Queen shook in her bed the dying Countess ; and vehemently exclaiming that God might forgive her, but she never could, flung out of the chamber. Returning to her palace, she surrendered herself without resistance to the despair which seized her heart on this fatal and too late disclosure — refused medicine and food, passed days and nights seated on the floor with fixed eyes and finger pressed upon her mouth, and in the space of twenty days expired, March 24, 1603.

As the kerchief long ago disappeared, the pearls have been recently mounted as brooches, their original arrangement being carefully retained. Mistress Jane Purdie is said to have married into the family of Flowerdew, formerly of Hethersett in Norfolk, who became connected by marriage with John Hookham, of Beddington, Surrey, whose daughter and heiress married, in 1768, John Frere, of Roydon, Norfolk, the great grand- father of the present owner, who is himself of Tudor descent through his mother.

These relics were left at Ashridge, under the following circumstances : Queen Eliza- beth (then Princess), was residing at Ashridge when taken into custody by Sir Edward Hastings, Sir Thomas Cornwallis and Lord William Howard, on suspicion of being con- cerned in Sir Thomas Wyat's rebellion, and though confined to the house by illness (such was the strictness of their commission) was compelled to rise from her bed and set off for London in the Queen's litter. Renard, the Ambassador of Charles V. had spread the vilest rumours about Elizabeth, and to give the lie to all such slanders when she entered the city, she threw back the covering of her litter so that she might be seen by all. She was dressed in white, her face pale from her illness, and crowds followed her along the streets to Westminster. In the hurried departure from Ashridge many of Elizabeth's things were left behind, and have been preserved there ever since. Lent by The Earl Brownlow. 1054. Baby Linen, made by the Princess Elizabeth for her sister Mary, when the Queen believed herself to be with child. For some months Mary had believed herself enceinte, and in April, 1555, sne commenced her preparations in earnest for the great event. "About April 20, she withdrew to Hampton Court for entire quiet. The rockers and the nurses were in readiness, and a cradle stood open to receive the royal infant. Priests and Bishops sang Litanies through the London Streets ; a procession of Ecclesiastics in cloths of gold and tissue marched round Hampton Court Palace, headed by Philip in person ; Gardiner walked at his side, while Mary gazed from a window. Not only was the child assuredly coming, but its sex was decided on, and circulars were drawn and signed both by the King and Queen, with blanks only for the month and the day, announcing to Ministers of State, to Ambassadors, and to foreign Sovereigns the birth of a prince. On the 30th, the happy moment was supposed to have arrived, a message was sent off to London announcing the commencement of the event. The bells were set ringing in all the churches ; Te Deum was sung in St. Paul's ; priests wrote sermons ; bonfires were piled ready for lighting, and tables were laid out in the streets. The news crossed the Channel to Antwerp, and had grown in the transit. The great bell of the Cathedral was rung for the actual birth. The vessels in the rivers fired salutes. The Regent sent the English Mariners a hundred crowns to drink, and they made themselves in readiness to show some worthy triumph upon the waters. But the supposed symptoms passed off with- out result and whispers began to be heard that there was, perhaps, a mistake of a more considerable kind. Mary, however, had herself no sort of misgiving. The physicians pro- fessed to be satisfied, and the priests were kept at work at the Litanies. Up and down the streets they inarched, through city and suburb, park and square ; torches glared along Cheapside at midnight behind the Holy Sacrament, and five hundred poor men and women from the almshouses walked two and two, telling their beads in their withered fingers : then all the boys of all the schools were set in motion, and the ushers and the masters came after them ; clerks, canons, bishops, mayors, aldermen, officers of guilds.

Patent of Countship of Thomas, First Lord Arundell of Wardour, surnamed " The Valiant." This patent, which was granted by the Emperor Rudolph II., states "that Thomas Arundell is created a Count of the Holy Roman Empire, at Prague, December 14, 1595, for that he had behaved himself manfully in the field, as also in assaulting divers cities and castles, shown great proof of valour, and that in forcing the water-tower at Gran in Hungary, he took from the Turks with his own hands the banners, so that every of his children and their descendants for ever of both sexes should enjoy that title, place, and vote, in all Imperial Diets, purchase lands in the dominions of the Empire, list any voluntary soldiers, and not to be put to any trial but in the Imperial Chamber." It is related by Camden, that when Elizabeth heard of Arundell's creation as a Count of the Holy Roman Empire, she fell into a great rage and said, "Between Princes and their subjects there is a most straight tye of affection, as chaste women ought not to cast their eye upon any other but their husbands, so neither ought subjects to cast their eyes upon any other Prince than him whom God hath given them. I would not have any sheepe branded with another man's marke, I would not they should follow the whistle of a strange shepherd." Previously, in 1594, when Sir Nicholas Clifford and Sir Anthony Shirley received from the French King the Order of St. Michael, the Queen was much displeased and put them into prison, nor were they released till the Orders were sent back and their names erased from the roll.

Printed " at Malborow in the land of Hesse [i.e. at Marburg] by me Hans Luft," in 1534. 8vo. The second edition of Tyndale's Pentateuch. The first edition printed at Marburg in 1530 was probably issued in separate books, and the Book of Genesis only was " corrected and amended" in the second edition, the rest being exactly uniform with the first edition. Numbers is in black letter, and the rest in Roman type ; but Genesis in the first edition was also in black letter. Tyndale's Pentateuch was the first complete portion of the Old Testament printed in English. In 1 531 a translation of Jonah appeared in Tyndale's name, and besides that translations of the " portions of Scripture appointed for the epistles " taken from the Old Testament appear at the end of his New Testament. The printer's name given above is from the colophon of the first edition. Lent by The Earl Spencer, K.G. 1275. "Biblia. The Bible, that is the Holy Scripture of the Olde and New Testa- ment faithfully and truly translated out of Douche and Latyn in to Englishe 1535 " Fol. The first edition of Miles Coverdale's translation, the first complete Bible published in English. According to an affidavit by Emmanuel van Meteren in the archives of the Dutch Church, Austin Friars, this edition was printed at Paris and London by Jacob van Meteren and Edward Whitchurch. [Perhaps there is here some confusion with the Great Bible of 1539 (see No. 1279). The types used agree with some of those in Christian Egenolph's Frankfurt German Bible of 1534, and the plates are evidently poor copies of his. The whole of the sheets being sent to England, a title-page and a dedication to Henry VIII. were added by an English publisher, probably James Nicholson of Southwark, who reprinted the translation in 1537. This translation was made principally from the Vulgate and Luther's German version, perhaps at the in- stigation of Sir Thomas More. Coverdale was born in Yorkshire in 1488. He studied at Cambridge, was ordained in 1 5 14, and became an Augustinian Friar. He left his convent at Cambridge in about 1526, and after a few years went abroad to Antwerp and Hamburg. At Paris he superintended the printing of the Great Bible, and in 1539 returned to England, where he remained till the fall of Cromwell, when he retired abroad. He married, in 1 540, Elizabeth Macheson. In 1548 he returned to England, and in 1551 was made Bishop of Exeter. He was deprived by Mary, and was allowed to escape to Denmark. At the accession of Elizabeth he returned, and was one of the assistant bishops at the consecration of Parker in 1559. He died in 1568. Lent by The Earl Spencer, K.G.

The fourth edition of Tyndale's New Testament, and the second edition of his third and final revision, issued in the last year of his life, for he was burnt at Vilvorde in 1536. Having found it impossible to perform in England the task which he had set himself of translating and publishing the Bible in English, Tyndale went to Germany in 1524 and joined Luther at Wittenburg, where, assisted by William Roye, he completed the translation of the New Testament. He arranged to have the book printed by Peter Quental at Cologne, and the printing was begun but not finished (the only known fragment is in the British Museum) and subsequently the first complete New Testament in English was issued at Worms in 1525-6 by Peter Schoeffer. Of this only two copies are known, one in the Bristol College Library and the other in the Library of St. Paul's Cathedral. Another revised edition was issued in 1534, and the final revision in 1535.

" The Byble, which is all the holy Scripture in whyche are conteyned the Olde and Newe Testament truly and purely translated into Englysh by Thomas Matthew." Printed in 1537. Dedicated to Henry VIII. Fol. The woodcuts in the Revelation of St. John in this edition are identical with those of Martin Lempereur's Antwerp Bible of 1530, and his New Testament of 1535, and of Tyndale's New Testament of 1537. The same woodcut borders to the title-pages of the Old and New Testament, and the large picture of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden are found in the Copenhagen Latin Bible of 1550. The real author of this translation was John Rogers. The work is to a great extent a compilation of Tyndale's Pentateuch and New Testament and Coverdale's Hagiographa and Prophets. Like Coverdale's translation, it was issued under royal licence. Rogers was educated at Cambridge and afterwards became a priest. He was appointed chaplain to the merchant adventurers at Antwerp, where he became infected with the doctrines of the Reformation, and associated with Tyndale and Coverdale. At Antwerp he married, and thence went to Wittenburg, where he remained till the accession of Edward VI. On the Sunday after the accession of Mary he preached a violent sermon at St. Paul's Cross against the Queen's religion, but though summoned before the Privy Council was not punished. In February 1555, however, he was burnt at Smithfield, the first of the Protestants executed in the reign of Mary. Lent by The Earl Spencer, K.G. 1278. " The Most Sacred Bible, which is the holy Scripture, translated into English and newly recognised with great diligence after most faythful exemplars, by Rychard Taverner...Prynted at London in Flete Strete...by John Byddell, for Thomas Barthlet, 1539." Dedicated to Henry VIII. Fol. A revision of the translation of Matthew. The reviser, Richard Taverner, was born in 1505 at Brisley, in Norfolk. He studied at both Cambridge and Oxford, and was one of those invited by Cardinal Wolsey to his new college. Thence he proceeded to study law in the Inner Temple. He entered the service of Cromwell, and was appointed clerk of the signet in 1537. In 1 541 he was committed to the Tower for " slandering the lady BALCONY.] Anne of Cleve." In 1545 he was chosen a member of parliament. In 1552, though a layman, he received a special license to preach, which, however, was taken away on the accession of Mary. During Mary's reign Taverner remained very quiet, and suffered no molestation, but on the accession of Elizabeth began his preaching again. He died in 1575. Lent by The Earl Spencer, K.G. . 1279. " The Byble in Englyshe, that is to saye the content of all the holye Scrypture, both of the olde and newe testamente, truely translated after the ueryte of the hebrue and greke textes, by the studye of dyuerse excellent learned me expert in the forsaide tonges. Printed by Richard Grafton and Edward Whitchurch, 1539." Fol. The first edition of the Great Bible of Henry VIII., issued under the auspices of Thomas Cromwell, Earl of Essex. This translation, of which Matthew's Bible is the basis, was made by Miles Coverdale. The former version was carefully corrected and deprived of its polemical and offensive notes, and printed first of all in Pans under a license from Francis I., but this license was withdrawn and the sheets already printed seized. These, however, were saved through the good offices of a haberdasher who bought them "to lay caps in," but sent them to England, where the work was continued, and finished. The great size of the volume is the simple reason for its name of " The Great Bible." While it was being printed an order was issued that every parish priest in England should provide " one boke of the whole Bible of the largest volume in Englysche, and have the same sett up in some convenient place within the churche, whereat his parishioners may most commodiously resort to the same and rede yt. ; ' This was considerably obeyed, and the Reformers took great advantage of it, among other things, by annoying their opponents by reading aloud during the performance of public services, which was forbidden by a subsequent proclamation in 154.1. The title page is by Hans Holbein. The arms of Cromwell were effaced from the plate after his fall, and a blank space appeared in subsequent editions. Lent by The Earl Spencer, K.G. 1280.

" The Newe Testament of our Lord Jesus Christ, conferred diligently with the Greke and best approved translations." Printed at Geneva, by Conrad Badius, 1557. 8vo.

It is not a new translation, but a revision of 246 Exhibition of the Royal House of Tudor. various others, by William Whittingham, afterwards Dean of Durham, then an exile at Geneva. In it two innovations in the English translations appear, the division of the text into verses, and the use of italics to denote words that do not occur in the original The preface is by John Calvin. William Whittingham was born at Chester in r524, and educated at Oxford. He became fellow of All Souls in 1545, and afterwards one of the seniors of Christchurch. In May, 1550, he obtained leave to travel for three years, during which time he married the sister of Calvin. In Mary's reign he had to leave England, and settled at Geneva, where he adopted extreme Puritan views, and was ordained according to the Geneva form. At the accession of Elizabeth he returned to England, and was made Dean of Durham in 1563. In 1577, Archbishop Sandys, of York, took objection to Whittingham's orders, and after some dispute the Queen issued a commission to hear and de- termine on the validity of his ordination. The decision, as far as it went, was that " it would be ill taken by all the godly and learned, both at home and abroad, that we allow of Popish massing priests in our ministry, and disallow of ministers made in the reformed church," and Whittingham remained Dean of Durham till his death in 1589.

The first edition of the Geneva Bible, known also as the " Breeches " Bible, from the tianslation of Genesis iii. 7. The translators were William Whittingham, Thomas Sampson, and Anthony Gilby. The New Testament is considerably revised and altered from the translation published by Whittingham three years before. This Bible became very popular, and was largely used in England and Scotland, even after the publication of the Bishops' Bible. In 1565 a new edition of the New Testament, revised by Lawrence Tomson, secretary to Sir F. Walsingham, appeared, and that took the place of the previous one. Lent by The Earl Spencer, K.G.

The Rheims New Testament, translated by William Allen, afterwards Cardinal, Gregory Martin, and Richard Bristow, from the Vulgate, for the use of English Catholics, who were unable to trust the previous English versions. As a translation its elegance of diction is somewhat marred by an excessive use of words of Latin and Greek derivation, the latter principally in the leaving untranslated of certain terms, such as asymes, fiasch, &c. It has, however, the advantage over the Protestant version of being translated from a carefully edited and authorised Latin text, instead of carelessly printed Greek editions.

At the opening of the Tudor Period the service books in general use in the Church of England were : — 1. The Missal, containing the service for the celebration of the Holy Eucharist, with its accompanying Collects, Epistles, Gospels, Sequences, Graduals, Introits, etc. 2. The Breviary, containing the office for the recitation of the Psalter at the Canonical Hours of Mattins, Lauds, Prime, Terce, Sext, Nones, Evensong and Compline, together with the accompanying Antiphons, Lessons, Hymns, etc. 3. The Manual, containing the occasional services which could be performed by a Priest, such as Baptism, Marriage, Burial of the Dead, Churching of Women, Extreme Unction, etc. 4. The Pontifical, containing those services, such as Confirmation, Holy Orders, Consecration of Churches, Coronation of Kings, etc., which required to be performed by a Bishop. To these may be added certain choir books, etc., containing selections from one or more of these, as arranged for musical or other purposes, such as the Antiphoner (con- taining the music of the Breviary), the Grail or Gradual (containing the music of the Missall, the Hymnal, the Processional, etc., as well as the book of ceremonial directions officially entitled Directoriuni Sacerdotale, but commonly known by what may be called its slang name of Pica or Pie. At the beginning of the period to which this Exhibition refers, there were several varieties of these books in use in England, " some following Salisbury use, some Hereford use, some the use of Bangor, some of York, some of Lincoln," but the differences were not very great, nothing like so great as may often be found between the Uses of two churches in the same town at the present day. The Salisbury Use was the most important of these, and was used in a majority of churches. It owed its origin as a distinct Use to St. Osmund, Bishop of Salisbury in the eleventh century, and it has gained a somewhat exaggerated importance through being the direct ancestor of the Anglican Prayer-Book. It has been the fashion with those who wish to minimize the debt due from England to Rome to maintain that the Salisbury Use had an independent origin, and to derive it from a common origin with the Gallican, Mozarabic, and Ephesine family of Liturgies. If the Ancient Celtic liturgy was of that family (which is by no means certain), there may be some very slight remaining influence, but otherwise the theory is utterly untenable. The Salisbury Liturgy was a mere variety of the Roman, and differed from it no more than did the many German, Italian, Polish, Spanish (non-Mozarabic), and other Western rites, and less than many of the French Uses. If it has a right to an independent position, so has also the Use of Mayence, of Magdeburg, of Halberstadt, or indeed of nearly every diocese in the Latin Church. The first liturgical change which the Reformation brought about was the omission ot the word "Pope" as applied to the Bishop of Rome in 1534, and in 1538 of the offices for the two feasts of St. Thomas of Canterbury. The objectionable words and services were erased in the older books, and a newer and revised edition was printed. Until the reign of Edward VI. these altered books were used, and called Salisbwy books ; but the ideal 250 Exhibition of the Royal House of Tudor, of Henry VIII. of a Catholic Church of England differing only from the rest of Western Christendom in its independence of Rome was found to be unattainable, and the growing Protestant party demanded a vernacular Liturgy, an article which had only appeared as yet in the Litany of 1 544. An instalment was given in the " Order of Communion " (to be used with the Sarum Mass), issued in March, 1 548, which was followed the next year by the First Prayer-book of Edward VI., in which a new Communion Service, founded on the old Liturgy, was contained, together with other services drawn from the Breviary (the eight canonical hours being contracted into two), and occasional services from the Manual. But this book did not satisfy the reforming party, and in 1552 another book of a far more Pro- testant form was issued, influenced to a great extent by foreign Calvinist reformers, and, this, with some modifications effected at the accession of Elizabeth, and still more at the Restoration of Charles II., is substantially the Prayer-book now in use. The Second Prayer-book included an Ordinal, which had been published separately late in 1 549, and was of such a nature that Queen Mary in her direction to Bishop Bonner in 1553, directs that those who had been ordained by this " new style and fashion of Order, considering that they be not ordered in very dede " should be reordained, and the careful revisers of 1662 made certain important alterations therein. When Mary came to the throne the Salisbury Use in its old form was restored and several editions were printed, but in 1559, after the accession of Elizabeth, the English Prayer-book was revived, and with the short interval of extremer Protestantism from 1645 to 1660 has continued ever since. The series of books here set out illustrates the above described development of the Book of Common Prayer. Besides the actual English Liturgies there has been added the curious tentative reform of the Roman Breviary carried out in 1553 by Cardinal Ouignon. This is interesting as having influenced the compilers of the English Prayer-book. 1291*. " Missale AD USUM Saru." Printed by Richard Pynson, London, 1500. 4to. Vellum.

The principal idea of this re- vision of the Breviary was the introduction of sufficiently long lessons from the Bible to enable the greater part of the Old and the whole of the New Testament to be read dur- ing the year. The services were shortened and simplified. The influence on the English Prayer-book was very great, even to the extent of the annexation of whole passages from the Introduction, which appear in the preliminary article " Concerning the Services of the Church." The celebrated gibe at the " rules called the Pie " appears in Quignon's book thus : Accedit tarn perplexus ordo, tamque difficilis precandi ratio, ut interdum paulo minor opera in requirendo ponatur quam cum inveneris in legendo." This Breviary was used to a limited extent, but was superseded by the revision of Pius V. in 1 568. Lent by J. Wickham Legg, Esq., M.D. 1301.

It contains an office for the administration of the Holy Communion to be interpolated after the Communion of the Priest in the Mass, which was to be said as usual, " until other order shall be provided." The great innovation was the restoration of Communion of both kinds. Much of this new Order of Communion is included in the present service. Lent by Edwin Freshfield, Esq. 1303.

The music is in the old four-lined notation, as in the former service-books, and is evidently founded on the pre-Reformation plain song. Another book for choir use was published as a companion to the first Prayer-book. It was entitled " The Psalter or Psalmes of David, corrected and poyncted as thei shalbe song in Churches," and also contained " all that shall apperteigne to the clerkes to saie or syng " in the different services. It was printed by Grafton in 1549, and is very scarce, only two copies (one in the British Museum and one in Durham Cathedral Library) being known.

Besides the public service books of the Church, there have existed from the 14th century certain authorised books of private devotion. Called by various names, Horce, Honrs, Prymer, Enchiridion, Hortulus Animce, Orarium, etc., these books were substan- tially the same, though the later ones, especially after the introduction of printing, are considerably fuller than the earlier. The original basis was the service known as the " Hours of Our Lady," to which were added others, such as the " Hours of the Cross," " Of the Trinity," " Of the Blessed Sacrament," etc. These Hours resembled the Breviary Offices in construction, but were shorter and simpler. Their use is somewhat obscure, but they were not only recited in Church, and attended by the laity, but also used for private devotion. Besides these, the Books of Hours included the Seven Penitential Psalms, The Office of the Dead, The Litany, and many miscellaneous prayers, the bulk of which increased considerably as time went on. These " Layman's Prayer-books," as they may be called, were common in England, France, and Flanders, but compara- tively rare elsewhere. They followed the various local Uses of the public service books, those of Paris, Rome, Salisbury, and Rouen, being among the commonest of those that have survived. As may be supposed, Henry VIII. was not content with regulating the public services of his kingdom, and soon began to dictate the private devotions also. In 1534 the first reformed Prymer (Marshall's) appeared under the royal sanction. This was chiefly noticeable for the omission of the title of Pope, and for containing Hours of a less direct reference to Our Lady. The invocation of saints was retained, as were also prayers for the departed, and most characteristically Catholic doctrines, except, of course, those relating to the Pope. This was followed by a somewhat simpler book, compiled by John Hilsey, Bishop of Rochester, in 1539, and further changes were introduced in a book set forth by the King in 1545. Here appeared a Litany (which had been already issued in 1 544), closely resembling the present Anglican Litany but including after the addresses to the Trinity, an invocation of saints, not as in the older Litany individually, but by classes. Edward VI. reissued this Prymer in 1552, but omitted the invocations, and Elizabeth began by a reissue of the Edwardian book, but subsequently, owing to the pro- gress of the Reformation, got rid of the prayers for the dead. Under Mary, the Salisbury 255 2 5 6 Exhibition of the Royal House of Tudor. Prymer was restored ; but even before that it continued in use parallel with the reformed books. It is noticeable that all reformed Prymers down to those of Elizabeth were more Catholic in tone than the public service books. 1314. "Hore beate Marie v'gis Secundu vsum Sarum."

Printed by John Byddell, for William Marshall, London, 1535. 4to. On vellum. The first reformed Prymer, published by Royal authority was printed by John Byddell, without date, but probably as early as 1534. It is supposed that the translator was George Joye. The present book is the second edition. The alterations are considerable. The various sorts of Hours have been simplified into one, and the title of Pope omitted in accordance with the Statute of 1 534 ; and a large proportion of the book is taken up with instruction. The present copy is beautifully illustrated. Lent by The Earl Spencer, K.G. 1317.

Printed by R. Pynson, London, 1 521. 4to. Vellum. The first and very scarce edition of the tract of Henry VIII. against Luther, for which Pope Leo X. conferred upon the King the title of Defender of the Faith. Copies of the " Assertio " were sent at once to Rome for the Pope and Cardinals, and some for the Pope to present with his approval to various princes and universities. The present copy bears on the fly-leaf the words " Regi Daciae," and was probably a presenta- tion copy to the King of Denmark. It is beautifully illuminated in gold and colours.

Printed by Hans Luft, Marlborow in the lade of Hesse [i.e. Marburg], 1528. This is the largest and most important of Tyndale's works. In it the author defends the doctrines of the Reformation, and puts forward strongly the two great theories which became so prominent in the English Reformation, the supreme authority of the Bible in the Church and the supreme authority of the King in the State. A copy of the book was given to the King by Anne Bullen, and his mind was probably much influenced by it. In a proclamation, however, of 1530, this book is mentioned among the" bokes of heresie worthy to be dampned and set in perpetual oblivion," that had recently been printed beyond seas.

In 1530, More wrote a dialogue, concerning the worshipping of images, and " many other t.hinges con- cerning the pestilent secte of Luther and Tyndale." This was answered by Tyndale the same year, and More rejoined in a " confutacyon of Tyndale's answere" in 1 53 2 ~3- An answer to this, in which " Barons," i.e. Robert Barnes, joined, was responded to by this " Apology."

This BALCONY.] Printed Books. 261 was one of the earliest steps in the development of Anglican doctrine.

The development of doctrine in a Protestant direction goes a little further than the " Articles " of the preceding year. A great deal of the book is devoted to controverting the claims of the Bishop of Rome to universal jurisdiction. The "Necessary Doctrine," issued in 1543, superseded this treatise. Lent by The Archbishop of Canterbury. 1343. " Necessary Doctrine and Erudition for any Chrysten Man." Printed by Thomas Berthelet, London, 1 543. 8vo. This was drawn up to supersede the " Institution of a Christian Man " by a commis- sion appointed by King Henry VIII., and confirmed in Parliament in 1540, and was set forth, as Cromwell expressed it, in the Kings' name, because the King " set the pure and sincere doctrine of the Christian faith only before his eyes and therefore was now resolved to have this set forth to his subjects without any corrupt mixtures." According to Burnet, the publication pleased and displeased both parties.

The author was at one time a Roman Catholic, but being suspected of heresy, was directed by the Inquisition " with free lybertie of speeche and pardon granted" to preach before the Pope against him and his religion. This liberty of speech he took very fully, but appears to have been well treated.

The Badge of the Pilgrimage of Grace, embroidered in red velvet consisting of a chalice, a host, five wounds, a crown of thorns, and the sacred monogram t \) s. These are within a shield below which are the letters I G {Itinerariiim Gratice). This badge was made up into a burse and belonged to the domestic chapel of Kingerby Hall., North Lincolnshire. The sudden and violent changes which Henry VJ II. had brought about in the matter of Church government and the dissolution of the monasteries did not pass by without opposition from the populace. In many parts of the country this feeling showed itself in open rebellion. The most serious insurrection was that in the north, known as the Pilgrimage of Grace , in 1536 — 7. The first rising was in Lincolnshire, but was put down by the Duke of Suffolk without much difficulty. A subsequent insurrection in Yorkshire and the northern counties was much more serious and was joined by about 40,000 men. The insurgents were under the command of Robert Aske, a Yorkshire gentleman, and at their head marched several priests in the habits of their order, bearing crosses and banners in which were worked a plough (to encourage the husbandmen), a chalice and host (in remembrance of the spoiling of the Church), and the five wounds of Christ (to signify that they were fighting for Christ's sake). The rebels succeeded in taking Hull and York, as well as Pomfret Castle, into which the Archbishop of York and Lord D'Arcy had thrown themselves ; both of whom with seeming reluctance surrendered, but after- wards joined the insurrection. The insurgents were at length dispersed partly by the negotiations of the Duke of Norfolk, and partly by the swelling of the River Don, which prevented their attacking the king's forces. Acting under Henry's special written orders, Norfolk executed martial law in the punishment of the offenders. Seventy-four persons, laity and clergy, were hanged in various towns in Westmoreland and Cumberland, and their leaders, including Aske, Lord D'Arcy, Sir John Bulmer, and Sir Francis Bigod were brought to London, tried, condemned, and executed, some at Tyburn, others at York and Hull. Lady Bulmer, who had sympathized with the insurgents, died the dreadful death awarded by the English to female treason and was burnt at the stake in Smithfield. Lent by T. J WlLLSON, ESQ. 1416.
