PREFACE. 
 
 The present work was undertaken and commenced 
 some years ago, as a source of relaxation and 
 amusement in leisure hours; but owing to a series 
 of unfortunate circumstances, over Avhicli the Editor 
 had no control, added to the illness occasioned by- 
 severe domestic affliction, its publication has been 
 interrupted and protracted till the present time, — 
 much, as the Editor fears, to its disadvantage. He 
 may truly assert, that the pages of the volume at 
 length presented to the public, have been written 
 and revised " in sickness and in sorrow," and may 
 therefore justly claim some indulgence for the 
 errors or defects they contain. 
 
 The value of Accounts of this nature has already 
 been so ably and forcibly pointed out by Mr. 
 Nicolas, in his publications of the Expenses of King 
 Henry the Eighth and Elizabeth of York, as to 
 render it wholly unnecessary to repeat the argu- 
 
PREFACE. 
 
 ment here. The mere list of those Household Books 
 which are yet preserved, from the reign of Edward 
 the First to that of William the Third, would fill 
 no inconsiderable space, but it would undoubtedly 
 be a most desirable undertaking, could an Abstract 
 and Excerpts be made from each, as affording real 
 materials for the history, genealogy, and biography 
 of the sovereigns, nobles, and gentry of England, 
 whilst the most ample and curious illustrations of 
 ancient manners and customs are held out to the 
 lover of our national antiquities. 
 
 This volume is edited on the same plan as the 
 " Privy Purse Expenses of King Henry the Eighth," 
 to which it may be considered, in some measure, as 
 a companion, since the greater part of the indivi- 
 duals mentioned are common to both. The original 
 MS. of these Accounts is preserved in the Royal 
 Collection in the British Museum, and is marked 
 17 B. xxviii. It is a moderate sized quarto volume, 
 written on paper, in a fair and distinct hand, and is 
 authenticated in many places by the signature of 
 the Princess Mary ; who has also made several cor- 
 rections, and, in a few instances, added marginal 
 observations. The most scrupulous care has been 
 
PREFACE. XI 
 
 taken to represent the text literatim, since, in some 
 cases, the errors even of the scribe become a subject 
 of curiosity, or capable of affording information. 
 
 The Accounts commence in the month of Decem- 
 ber, A\ 28 Hen. VIII. [1536], and are continued 
 (with the omission of part of February, and the 
 whole of March, 1538-9) to the month of May, 
 A°. 31 Hen. VIII. [1539], and then from the month 
 of December, A°. 34 Hen. VIII. [1542], to the same 
 month, A". 36 Hen. VIII. [1544], both inclusive; 
 comprising altogether the expenses of four years 
 and seven months. 
 
 From the circumstance of a blank space occur- 
 ring in the MS., between fol. 55.b and fol. 62.^, it 
 was conjectured at page 82, that the accounts for 
 the year 1539 were omitted, and the items of that 
 year have consequently been erroneously assigned 
 to the next. That this supposition was incorrect is 
 proved, not only by the total of the sums disbursed 
 from December, 1538, to the May following, inserted 
 on the corner of fol. 73.b, (but not regularly entered), 
 but also by the following item in April, p. 89 : — 
 " Payed to the Kinges Brawdrer for embrawdring 
 
Xll PREFACE. 
 
 a Cote for the Prince grace, liiJ5. uijd" Now it 
 appears from a list of the new year's gifts presented 
 to the Prince Edward on the 1st of January, 30 
 Henry VIII. [1538-9], in MS. Cott. Append, xxviii., 
 foh 39, that " the Ladj/ Mary is grace" gave " A cote 
 of crymosen satten, embrowdered w* gold, w* paunses 
 of pyrles, and sieves of tynsell, and iiij aglettes of 
 gold," and this completely identifies the period to 
 which the above entry refers. 
 
 It must be observed, that in the MS. the ex- 
 penses of each page are separately added up ; but 
 as these are represented by the total of each month, 
 it was judged unnecessary to retain them. Some 
 few errors also of calculation are made by the 
 accountant, which are noticed in the errata at the 
 end of the volume. 
 
 The Expenses are followed by Lists or Invento- 
 ries of the Princess's Jewels, remaining in the cus- 
 tody of Mary Fynche, one of her household, (who 
 also had the charge of her purse, p. 91, and pro- 
 bably was the writer of the greater part of the MS.,) 
 from 1542 to 1546, authenticated on every page by 
 the signature of the Princess. In the margin are

 notes, chiefly in the handwriting of the Princess 
 herself, of the names of various persons to whom 
 part of the jewels were presented, among whom 
 occur the Princess Elizabeth, Lady Margaret Len- 
 nox, Lady Eleanor Brandon^ Lady Jane Grey, and 
 many other personages connected with the Court. 
 These lists are printed in the same form as in the 
 MS. 
 
 One remark more only remains to be made with 
 regard to the MS. ; viz. that the only work in which 
 it was ever previously noticed is Mr. Ellis's first 
 series of Original Letters, vol. i., p. 273, a publica- 
 tion which, for its intrinsic value and interest, is 
 worth all the romance and philosophy of history, 
 that ever has been or ever will be written. 
 
 In compiling the Notes to this volume more time 
 and labour have been expended than, perhaps, the 
 subject required. Those who are accustomed to 
 inquiries of a similar nature will know best how 
 many tomes may be turned over in a fruitless search 
 after a date, or explanation of an obscure term. Of 
 the latter description, a few instances will be found 
 which have eluded all the researches of the Editor,

 and he is contented to leave them, without indulg- 
 ing in useless conjectures, to the solution of more 
 fortunate or ingenious expositors. 
 
 The Editor begs leave, in conclusion, to offer his 
 acknowledgments to his friends, the Rev. Bulkeley 
 Bandinel, D.D., for his obliging attention in con- 
 sulting some MSS. in the Bodleian library; Charles 
 George Young, Esq., York Herald, for his kind 
 assistance in some genealogical queries, and to 
 John Caley, Esq., for permission to inspect the 
 Household Accounts of the Princess Mary and King 
 Henry VHI., perserved in the Chapter-house.

INTRODUCTORY MEMOIR. 
 
 Perhaps there is no name in the annals of our 
 history which has descended to us with such general 
 and indiscriminate obloquy as that of Mary, Prin- 
 cess and Queen of England. The epithets applied 
 to her by some of the most popular writers have 
 been constantly those of unmingled reproach and 
 contempt; and so apt are the majority of readers 
 to yield to opinions presented to them in print, and 
 authorised by repetition, that the terms, " narrow- 
 minded," "ill-conditioned," "ill-tempered," "gloomy 
 bigot," and " bloody Mary," seem to have, till lately, 
 been almost synonymous with her own name. This 
 sweeping and indefinite abuse carries on its front 
 indications of a want of candour ; and when exa- 
 mined with the impartial and dispassionate eye of 
 reason, is characterized still more by a want of 
 truth. Even Strype has admitted, (and he will 
 scarcely be accused of prejudice in favour of her,) 
 that the real character of Mary is not to be expected 
 from Protestant writers alone; and when we consi- 
 der how much it was the interest of the Court of 
 Elizabeth to favour invectives against her predeces- 
 
XVI INTRODUCTORY MEMOIR, 
 
 sor, we shall cease to be surprised, that the abuse 
 so lavishly heaped on Mary for her intolerance 
 should have overshadowed every attribute of worth 
 she possessed as a female and a sovereign. 
 
 It is very far, however, from the wish or inten- 
 tion of the Editor to enter into a defence of the 
 measures adopted by Mary and her councillors, 
 after her accession to the throne, or to attempt to 
 remove the stain which those sad " Marian days" 
 have fixed on the history of her reign. But it can- 
 not be deemed irrelevant here to remind those who 
 judge of past times by the present, that the six- 
 teenth century was altogether " an age of intoler- 
 ance," and the Catholic and the Protestant* alike 
 esteemed themselves the agents and ministers of the 
 Almighty's will, when they inflicted death on such 
 as were opposed to their several views of religious 
 conformitv. If men like Sir Thomas More, Lati- 
 mer, Ridley, and even the venerable Cranmer, could 
 calmly and deliberately commit to the stake t their 
 
 * See the Act of the Six Articles, issued 28th April, 1539, con- 
 demning all to be burnt who denied the real presence; also the 
 Commission issued by Edward VI., " Ad inquirendum de heretica 
 pravitafe," in 1549, (Rymer, xv., 182,) and the Warrant from Queen 
 Elizabeth, dated in July, 1575, addressed to the Lord-Keeper Bacon, 
 to burn two unfortunate Anabaptists as heretics, " juxta leges et 
 consuetudines regni nostri Anglice in hoc parte consuetas" (Rymer, 
 XV., 740) ; yet no one has laid this to the charge of the " Virgin 
 Queen!"

 ing of Joan Bocher and others may be found in Burnet, vol. ii., pp.

 fellow-beings for erring- on points of doctrine, may 
 we not find some excuse for the religious enthusiasm 
 of a woman whose chief error was a deep-rooted 
 and insurmountable faith in the creed she had 
 learned in her infancy, — the creed her mother had 
 died in the profession of, and sanctioned, to her be- 
 lief, by the voice of ages, — one, too, whose recollec- 
 tion of the wrongs and sufferings of herself and 
 parent must ever have been a ruling principle, and 
 whose measures were guided and controlled by 
 minds of a harsher and sterner character, — such as 
 the unpitiable Bonner, the subtle and revengeful 
 Gardiner, and the politic Pole? 
 
 But it is chiefly with a view to the life and cha- 
 racter of Mary as Princess, and previous to the 
 death of her father, this Memoir is intended to 
 apply, and here, it is believed, she will be found 
 most deserving of pity and of praise. If ever 
 wom^an undeservedly suffered from insult and de- 
 gradation, Mary did ; and if ever woman cultivated 
 in solitude and retirement the virtues of benevo- 
 lence, charity, kindness, and unaffected piety, or 
 adorned herself by the acquirement of such branches 
 of science or art as tend to elevate and soften the 
 mind, Mary was that one. These are not mere 
 assertions, but are founded on the authority of ex- 
 isting documents, and on the concessions of many 
 of our latest and best informed writers. The judg- 
 ment of men like Lodge, Lingard, Turner, Ellis, 
 and Singer, may be sufficient of themselves to oppose 
 
 d

 to the invectives of Rapin, Hume, Walpole, and 
 Grainger ; for as to the more ancient of her vitupe- 
 rators or panegyrists, their testimonies must be con- 
 sidered more liable to be biassed, and, therefore, 
 less deserving of notice. The remark of Lodge, 
 that Mary's " private life is more barren of circum- 
 stance than her public," might equally be said of 
 any individual, however exalted in birth, whose early 
 years are but slightly and incidentally noticed by 
 general historians. Bat we shall be better enabled 
 to admit or deny the justice of this observation, by 
 an examination of the various memoranda relatins: to 
 the Princess, yet preserved in manuscript or print. 
 To collect and place these in something like chrono- 
 logical order, with as little comment as possible, has 
 been the object of the Editor in the present imper- 
 fect Memoir. 
 
 The Princess Marv, eldest daug-hter of Kino; 
 Henry the Eighth, by his first wife, Catherine of 
 Arragon, was born at Greenwich, on Monday, the 
 18th* of February, 1515-16, about four o'clock in 
 the morning, and baptized on the Wednesday fol- 
 lowing, in the monastery of Grey-Friars, with all 
 the solemnity due to her rank. She was carried to 
 
 * So say Hall, Holinshed, and Sanders, and the contemporary MS. 
 account of her christening. MS. Add. 6113, f. 114. Sandford, p. 499, 
 who copies from the MS. ceremonial, has printed 8th Feb. by mistake 
 for 1 8th, yet this error has been followed by Lingard, and, on his 
 authority, by Nichols (Royal Autographs). Stowe and Godwin assign 
 it to 11 th Feb., 1517, which date Turner has thought proper to adopt. 
 So that even in such a trifling circumstance as this both of our 
 modern historians are decidedly in error! 
 
INTRODUCTORY MEMOIR. XIX 
 
 the ceremonial by the Countess of Surrey, assisted 
 by the Dukes of Norfolk and Suflblk. Thomas 
 Wolsey, the Lord Cardinal of York, stood godfather, 
 whilst the godmothers at the font were the Lady 
 Catherine* and the Duchess of Norfolk; and at the 
 bishoping, or confirmation, (a ceremony which took 
 place immediately after the baptism, and generally 
 at the altar,) the Countess of Salisbury held the 
 same office. Liimediately after the ceremony, the 
 style of the Princess was proclaimed by the Heralds 
 as follows ; " God give good life and long unto the 
 right high, right noble, and right excellent Princess 
 Mary, Princess of England, and daughter of our 
 sovereign lord the King," &c. 
 
 It appears always to have been usual, on the 
 occasion of the christening of a royal infant, to 
 employ a silver font, specially appropriated for this 
 purpose, which was preserved in the Priory of 
 Christchurch, Canterbury. No mention whatever 
 of it is to be found in Somner or his annotator, but 
 that such was the fact may be inferred from the 
 following entries in a Household Book of Henry 
 VHL, in the Chapter-house f, referring to the above 
 event. 
 
 * Daughter of Edward IV. and widow of William Courtenay, Earl 
 of Devon. 
 
 t There are in the Chapter-house two folio volumes of Household 
 Accounts of Henry VIII. The first is entitled, " The Kyngis boke of 
 Paymentis begynnyng Primo die Maij Anno prirao [1509] regni 
 Regis nac Henrici Octaui," and ending 1st April, A°. 9 [1518]. The 
 second is continued from the above date, and extends to the 4th 
 April, A°. 12 [1521].

 Similar items occur in October, 1518, for the 
 christening of a child of Mary, the dowager French 
 Queen, wife of Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk; 
 and the same silver font, it is presumed, was used 
 at the baptism of Prince Arthur, son of Henry VII., 
 at Winchester*, and of Prince Edward, son of Henry 
 VIII., at Hampton Court f. 
 
 Of the period embracing the earliest infancy of 
 the Princess, but few and scanty notices can, neces- 
 sarily, be gleaned ; but from a curious letter to 
 Secretary Crumwell, preserved in MS. Cott. Otho 
 C. X., f. 230:}:, we learn that Lady Margaret Bryan, 
 wife of Sir Thomas Bryan, Knt., a lady of great 
 good sense and ability, was appointed Ladj/ Mais- 
 tress, or Governess to the Princess, shortly after 
 her birth, and so continued for some years. The 
 mode in which the royal infant was attended is 
 incidentally stated in the same letter, by which it 
 appears she was allowed one mess or course of meat

 for her own lodging, the reversion of which was 
 considered, with a suitable quantity of bread and 
 drink, sufficient for her attendants; and this plan is 
 recommended by the Lady Bryan to be adopted with 
 regard to the Princess Elizabeth, when about the 
 same age. The name of Mary's nurse is also ascer- 
 tained from an entry on the Patent Rolls, dated 2d 
 July, 1517, by which an annuity of 20/. is granted 
 to Catherine, wife of Leonard Pole, Esq., " Nutrici 
 Marie filie Regis*." An earlier entry in the King s 
 Household Book for March, 1516-17, for this lady's 
 half-year's salary, stands thus : — " To the p'nces 
 norice, xx li." From the same MS. volumes may 
 be extracted a few other notices relative to the Prin- 
 cess, and the state it was judged proper to maintain 
 about her, even at this period. Thus so early as 
 October and November, 1516, within a twelvemonth 
 of her birth, we find 33.?. 4d. allowed as the wages 
 of Avis Woode, her launderer, for one half year; to 
 Alys Baker, one of her gentlewomen, the annual 
 salary of 10/.; and to Sir Henry Rowte, priest, her 
 Chaplain and Clerk of the Closet, a remuneration 
 at the rate of 6d. per diem. After the list of rewards 
 for new year's gifts presented to the King, on Jan. 
 1st, 1517-18, follow those paid on account of similar 
 gifts made to the infant Mary, (the first she ever 
 received,) which are of some interest, considering 
 the rank of the persons who offered them.

 This last item is deserving of attention, as it 
 shows that the Princess and her attendants had 
 crossed the Thames to Ditton Park, one of the royal 
 mansions allotted in the autumn to her residence, 
 as will hereafter appear. The King kept his Christ- 
 mas that year at Windsor, and it is probable the 
 choice of Ditton may have been made from its 
 lying so close in the vicinity. 
 
 The allowance for the Household of the Prin- 
 cess at this time may be judged of from a view of 
 the Royal Expenditure from 1st Oct. 1517 to 31st 
 March, 1518*, in which her expenses during the 
 twelvemonth are stated to amount to 421/. 12^. Id.

 In tlie King's Household Book in tlie Chapter-house, 
 the only item of the sort in 1518 occurs 25th Dec. : 
 " Item to Master* Sydno' for fynding of ij lytter 
 horsses for the princes, and other diuerse thyng-f — 
 xiiij s. viij d." But in December the following year 
 we find 100/. paid to Mr. Sydnour on " a prest to- 
 wardes the kepyng of my lady princes howsholde 
 this Cristemas;" and in January, 1519-20, to the 
 same, '' for diuerse exspences for my lady princes 
 for certain Rewardes for new yeres yeftes and 
 othere,'" 17/. lOs. Sums also of 200/. are paid to 
 him in February, 200/. in April, 500/. in May, and 
 200/. in December of that year, for the expenses of 
 Mary's household, amounting altogether to 1100/., 
 a large sum, compared with the disbursements of 
 other years. 
 
 Of the Princess's growth and improvement at this 
 period there exists a satisfactory testimonial, ex- 
 pressed in a letter from the Lords of the Council to 
 Henry VIII., (then in France,) dated at Westmin- 
 ster, 13th June [1520], in which they write, — 
 " Ascertaignyng your Highnes w^e were on Satur- 
 day last passed [9th] at your manoir of Richemounte 
 with your dearest daughter the Princesse, who, 
 lauded bee Almighty God, is right mery and in pros- 
 perous helth and state, dailly exercising her self in 
 vertuous pastymes and occupacions, iv her of we saive

 this period, Mary's treasurer.

 This is no mean praise for a child not four years 
 and a half old, and corresponds with what we are 
 told from other quarters of Mary's early inclination 
 for learning, which she derived equally from both 
 her parents. 
 
 But the Princess was destined, almost from her 
 birth, to become an object of political intrigue with 
 foreign courts; and even in her cradle, (viz. in 1518, 
 when she had not attained the age of three years,) 
 overtures were made by the French ambassador to 
 the King, for a match between her and the Dauphin. 
 The proposition was so far seriously entertained, 
 that a treaty was drawn up*, bearing date the 1st 
 October, 1518, by the articles of which espousals 
 were to take place by proxy within four months 
 afterwards, and repeated as soon as the Dauphin 
 arrived at the age of fourteen. The Princess was 
 then to be sent to Abbeville, and her dowry fixed 
 at the sum of 333,000 crowns. But this project, 
 like many other subsequent ones of the same sort, 
 was never concluded^ principally, says Hall, on 
 account of Mary's tender years f. 
 
 The next notices in point of time which concern 
 the Lady Mary, are contained in two Household 
 Accounts of her establishment, from 1st October, 
 1520, to 30th September, 1522, preserved in the 
 Chapter-house J. These chiefly relate to the ordi-

 nary disbursements of tlie different brandies of the 
 household, such as the Bakehouse, Pantry, Butteiy, 
 kc, but there are also sums of money paid for ser- 
 vices extra Curiam, for oblations, alms, rewards, &c., 
 which furnish some interesting particulars of the 
 young Princess's style of living, and movements. 
 She was then between five and seven years old, 
 and her establishment was formed on a scale appro- 
 priate to the high station of only child to one of the 
 greatest monarchs in Christendom. Of the persons 
 then composing her immediate suite but few are 
 mentioned. The " Lady Maistress"' once occurs, but 
 only by that title. Sir Weston Browne* was her 
 Chamberlain, Richard Sydnour, clerk, her Trea- 
 surer, and Sir Philip Calthrop and his wife, Lady 
 Jane Calthrop, held places of honour near her 
 person. The Princess seems to have had no fixed 
 place of residence during that period, but to have 
 usually passed the autumn at Ditton Park in Buck- 
 in2"hamshire, and divided the rest of the year 
 among certain others of the royal manors, which she 
 visited in turn. Thus, in October, 1520, she went 
 from Ditton to Windsor, and thence in the same 
 month to Hanworth, Martyn Abbey, Greenwich and 
 Eltham. In December she returned to Greenwich, 
 where the King kept his Christmas, and remained 
 there till near the end of February. Various new 
 year's gifts were presented to her, according to cus-

 torn, on the 1st of Januar^^ a few of whicli it may 
 be curious to select. The Lord Cardinal W olsey 
 sent a cup of gold; Catharine, Countess of Devon, 
 two small flagons, silver-gilt; the Duke of Norfolk, 
 a pair of silver snuffers; the Queen Dowager of 
 France, a pomander of gold; the young Countess 
 of Devon*, two smocks; Mistress Margaret, the 
 Nurse, (who must have succeeded Catharine Pole,) 
 a purse of " tynsent saten;" and a poor woman of 
 Greenwich, " rosemary bushis, cum spangilles de 
 auro." The following entries, also, occur among 
 the rewards given during this month of festivity : — 
 " Item cuidam homini et tribus pueris ludentibus 
 ante Principissam, in regardo, vj s. 8 d." " Item 
 Domino Mali Giibcrnatoris Hospicij domini Regis, 
 pro le newieres gyfte, ad mandatum Principisse, 
 XX s." The sum total of receipts of the Princess's 
 household for the year ending in September, 1521, 
 amounts to 641/. \s. 5^d., of which 500/. were re- 
 ceived from the King's Treasurers. The disburse- 
 ments for the same period come to 560/. Is. lOd. 
 
 In November, 1521, the Lady Mary again pro- 
 ceeded to Ditton Park, where she remained till the 
 January following. On Christmas-day her oblation 
 at Ditton was 20d., and the sum of lOs. is o-iven in 
 reward, " Johanni Sentone et aliis Clericis Collegij

 Tliis Christmas was passed in a maimer riu'lit juyuus 
 by the young Princess and her household, in imita- 
 tion of the Kinu-"s pan-eant-lovinii' court, at which, 
 writes Hall, •• this yere many li'doflly and o-oroious 
 mommeries were made/" Not only were three Boars

 the price of 9-?. 8f/. each, but the Boar'd jlK^^tl was 
 ushered in with the u.sual ceremonies, and 
 
 " Croi;vn"d with gay sarlands and with rosemary, 
 Smoak'd on the Christmas board." 
 
 Painters and decorators were brought from Windsor 
 to gild and decorate it*, and to assist in preparing 
 the mummeries which succeeded, under the goyern- 
 ance of the Lord of ^lisrule. This will appear 
 from the foUowinsf curious entries ; — " Oliuero Hunt,

 properties exhibited during the reign of the Lord of 
 Misrule, which extended from Christmas-eve till 
 Twelfth-night, (in the present instance, apparently, 
 somewhat longer,) and who on this occasion was 
 personated by John Thurgoode, one of the valets of 
 the Princess's household. The sum of forty shillings 
 is paid to him, " pro diuersis garnamentt factis & 
 conditis ac pro diuersis infhicK per ipsum & alios 
 factis coram Principissam," in January. Attached, 
 also, to the expenses of this year is a bill of the 
 particulars of the above item, thus intitled : " These 
 ben the Costf and Chargf leyde owte and payde by 
 Jo!in Thurgoode, Lorde of Mysrule w' the Prynceff 
 gc e in Crystni's tyme the xiijth yere of the Reigne 
 of Kynge Henry the xiijth." As a relic of ancient 
 manners, this account is invaluable ; but as we un- 
 derstand Mr. J. P. Collier intends to print it at 
 length in his forthcoming interesting work on the 
 early Drama, we refrain from a repetition of it here, 
 except so far as to give some general idea of the 
 amusements devised to divert a child then not 
 six years old. The list is as follows : two taborets, 
 a man who played the Friar, another who played 
 the Shipman, a stock of visors, coat-armor, hats, 
 gold foil, cony-skins and tails for mummers, four 
 dozen of clatering staves, and two dozen of morice 
 pikes, twelve cross-bows, gunpowder, and four gun- 
 ners, frankincense, ten dozen of bells and nine mo- 
 rice coats, a hobby-horse, straw to cover twelve 
 men in a disguising, and a man to kill a calf behind

 a cloth ! It is difficult to conceive what species of 
 dramatic representation could be formed out of such 
 strange materials, but doubtless the young- Princess 
 was amused, nor is there any reason to question 
 that the taste thus early encouraged for innocent 
 diversion had at all diminished at a maturer ao-e, 
 notwithstanding the opprobrious terms of gloominess 
 and discontent subsequently cast upon her. At all 
 events, we can trace in the childhood of Mary none 
 of those seeds of ill-temper and asperity, which 
 might lead us to conclude she was naturally of a 
 bad disposition. 
 
 At the conclusion of these amusements, or shortly 
 after, the Lady Mary removed to Windsor. The 
 customary new year's gifts were sent to her here, 
 viz., by the King, a standing cup of silver-gilt, ^' cum 
 denariis in eodem;" the Lord Cardinal, a gold salt, 
 set wuth pearls; and the Countess of Devonshire, a 
 gold cross. It is singular that the name of the 
 Queen, her mother, should not once appear as 
 sending any token of regard to her daughter ; but 
 this might have arisen from some point of court 
 etiquette, to which, probably, we must also ascribe 
 the separation of the Princess from her parents, 
 so that she rarely joined them, except at the 
 feasts of Easter and Christmas. From Windsor 
 she proceeded to Hanworth, where she made her 
 oblation on Candlemas-day, (2d Feb.) and from 
 Hanworth to Richmond, whence she was conveyed in 
 the Queens barge to Greenwich. In the course of 
 
XXX INTRODUCTORY MEMOIR. 
 
 this montli, the Princess stood godmother to Mary 
 the infant daughter of Sir William Compton, Knt. ; 
 and at the baptism the smn of 33.s. 4d. was given 
 to the Lady Maistress to distribute in reward. In 
 March she returned to -Richmond, where the feast 
 of Easter was kept by the King; and during the 
 same month she visited Hanworth, and the Convent 
 of Brigittines at Sion, where she offered the sum of 
 12(1. In June, the Princess came again to Green- 
 wich, where the court was assembled to receive 
 with solemn pageants the Emperor Charles the 
 Fifth, then on a visit to the King. The Emperor, 
 says the old chronicler Hall, who grows quite gar- 
 rulous when aught of feasting or revel is going 
 forward, " had great joy to see the Queen his aunt, 
 and in especiall his young cosyn germain the Lad^ 
 
 It was at this period, that by the policy of the 
 two monarchs, the Treaty of Windsor was signed ; 
 by the first article of which, the Emperor engaged 
 to marry the Princess by proxy, so soon as she 
 arrived at the age of twelve years, and if either 
 party violated the engagement, he should forfeit 
 the sum of 500,000 crowns. Notwithstanding this 
 contract, both Henry and Charles, with the versa- 
 tility so strikingly exemplified throughout the reign 
 of the former, subsequently devised means to break 
 off the match, as will hereafter appear.

 Princess seems to have removed to Richmond about 
 the same time as the Emperor and the King went 
 there to hunt, in June, 1522 ; and from thence she 
 proceeded to pay her usual visits to Hanworth and 
 Windsor. In July, a reward was given to certain 
 of the Queen's footmen, for accompanying the Lady 
 Mary from Windsor to Chertsey, in her way to 
 Esher. In August, the King sends her a present 
 of a goss-hawk, and Lord Bergavenny a horse, and 
 the youthful lady seems to have been anxious to try 
 the merits of both; for^ on the 25th of that month, 
 the sum of 5s. is paid to John Wylde, son of one of 
 the foresters of Windsor, for supplying bread and ale 
 and other viands to the Princess and her attendants 
 in the forest, — quite in the style of a rural pic-nic. 
 In September, she crosses from Esher to Hanworth, 
 and horses are brought for that purpose by two of 
 the Queen's servants from Chertsey. The cost of 
 boat-hire at Hampton ferry came to 20cl. The en- 
 tire receipts of this year amount to 1118/. 16^. O^d. 
 of which sum 1000/. were received from the King's 
 Treasurer, being double the allowance made the 
 preceding twelvemonth, and afford a striking con- 
 trast to the miserable pittance allowed the Princess 
 after her mother's divorce. The expenditure, not- 
 withstanding this increase, exceeds it, and amounts 
 to 1139/. 6s. Hd. 
 
 During the above period, the Princess's inferior 
 household consisted of six gentlemen, at 7^d., and 
 ten valets, at 3d. per diem ; fifteen garciones, at the 
 
XXxii INTRODUCTORY MEMOIR. 
 
 rate of 10/. a year, one stable boy, at SfJ., three 
 children of the kitchen, and one woodbearer, at If?. 
 
 per day. 
 
 About three years after the date of these accounts, 
 the events which had taken place on the continent 
 caused Charles to regret his precipitancy in enter- 
 ing into the treaty of matrimony signed at Windsor, 
 and his ministers were not behind-hand in suggest- 
 ing expedients to break off the match. Although 
 much doubt has been thrown on the sincerity of 
 both parties in the above contract, yet it is probable 
 Henry was earnest, up to a certain period, in desir- 
 ing its accomplishment, since in the instructions to 
 Dr. Knight and others, sent ambassadors to the Lady 
 Margaret, Regent of Flanders, in the spring of 1525, 
 are contained several secret articles concerning the 
 contemplated marriage of the Princess ; her apparel, 
 number of attendants, &c., respecting which the 
 advice of the Lady Margaret is to be asked. The 
 first is thus expressed : " First forasmoche as the 
 kinges pleas'" is that my lady the princesse apparaill 
 for her persone shal be acording to the facion and 
 manor of thoes parties, the kinges grace hath pro- 
 vided all manor of cloth of every sorte for her, like 
 as shal be shewed vnto her [the Lady Regent] bi 
 the said ambassado''s, prayng her to deuyse for the 
 making thereof after such manor as best shall please 
 her*," &c. 
 
 * MS. Cott. Galb., B. viii., f. 135. Books containing particulars of 
 the apparel, plate, servants, &c., were promised to be sent to the am- 
 
INTRODUCTORY MEMOIR. XXXIII 
 
 At the same time, Tunstal, Bishop of London, and 
 Sir Richard Wingfield were sent to the Emperor; 
 and in their Commission, dated 26th March, 1525, 
 they have full powers given to them to conclude 
 the delivery of Mary to Charles, " si commodo, ho- 
 nori et exaltacioni nostre et dicti patris nostri expe- 
 dire videbitur, eciam ante annos mibiles facienda, 
 modoque et forma, ac locis et temporibus eiusdem 
 tradicionis peragendi," &c.* But notwithstanding 
 this apparent readiness to meet the Emperor's 
 wishes, Henry and his ministers undoubtedly anti- 
 cipated objections in regard to their conduct, for 
 the ambassadors are instructed f, in case any diffi- 
 culty should arise on the ground " that communy- 
 cacion hath ben had for lyke maryage both w* the 
 French Kvnge nowe of latte, and also w*^ the Kynge 
 of Scottes:}:," to deny it, and declare, " that neither 
 
 bassadors after their arrival in Flanders. One of these was delivered 
 to them before their departure, but expressly commanded to be kept 
 secret till further instructions.

 % These are the causes assigned by our historians for the Emperor's 
 breaking off the match. Hall, fol. 136, and Lingard, p. 88. The 
 latter charge receives corroboration from the Commission issued by 
 James of Scotland, in November, 1524, to negotiate a marriage 
 between himself and ]\Iary. See Rymer, vol. xiv., p. 27. In a letter, 
 also, from Wolsey to the ambassadors, of the 7th April, 1525, he 
 writes, " the Scots have nowe ofFred that havinge ray lady Princes 
 givene in marryage vnto the yonge kynge, they will delyuer him into

 w*'' France ne w^'' Scotland the Kynges liighnes hath 
 admitted any oiierture that might be made touchinge

 Scottes have desyred the same, offeringe thearfore 
 to abandon Fraunce for evere, yet neverthelesse 
 expresse refusall and denyall hath bene made vnto 
 them ;" and as to France, " ther was never since 
 the warres such intelygence or entrey of communy- 
 caco^n w*^ that partye, wherby they mighte have 
 corage to move or desire such marryage," and, there- 
 fore, the Emperor ought not to doubt the King's in- 
 tentions. If, however, such explanation was deemed 
 unsatisfactory, and the delivery of the Princess* 
 insisted on, as a test of sincerity, and a prelimi- 
 nary step to further negotiation, the ambassadors 
 are to urge the tenderness of her age, ''■ w*^ the 
 respecte to be had to her noble person, not meete 
 as yet to be transported over the sea, ne to endure 
 the paines of the sea, ne also to be broughte vppe

 person," with other arguments of a similar nature.

 * This formed one of the points required by the Emperor in the 
 conference held with Wolsey at Bruges, in August, 1521, but he was, 
 at length, persuaded by the Cardinal to defer it " tylle sche be of 
 perfite age." Her dote or portion was then fixed at 80,000/., and the 
 dowry or jointure at 10,000/., to be secured on the best lands in the 
 Low Countries and Spain. See Wolsey's despatch to the King, 
 dated 19th August, printed in the vol. of" State Papens," just pub- 
 lished, pt. i., p. 38. 
 
INTRODUCTORY MEMOIR. XXXV 
 
 Finally, if these did not satisfy, they were to pro- 
 pose two alternatives, both of them of too extrava- 
 gant a strain to be listened to, viz., that the French 
 king should be given into Henry's hands, in ex- 
 change for his daughter, and so to remain till she 
 were of age, (although, as it is insinuated, the 
 French kinof mio-ht be thouo;ht " an insuffvcente 
 pledge and surety for so greate a Princes,') or else, 
 that the Emperor should assist to place the crown 
 of France on Henry's head, on the accomplishment 
 of which the Princess should be delivered to him 
 at Paris. 
 
 A letter from Wolsey to the ambassadors, pre- 
 vious to their embarkation, supplied a fresh expe- 
 dient to ascertain the Emperor's feelings towards 
 the Princess, in the shape of an emerald sent in her 
 name to him, at the delivery of which they are 
 desired to say "4hat her grace hath devised this 
 tokene for a bettere knowledge to be had, when 
 god shall send them grace to be together, whether 
 his Ma*'^ dothe keepe him selfe as contynen'^ and 
 ehas*^ as w'^ godes grace she will, wherby, ye may 
 saye, his Ma"^ may see that her assured loue to- 
 wardes the same hath alredy such opperacone in 
 her, that it is also confirmed by jileousye, being one 
 of the greatest signes and tokenes of hearty love 
 and cordiale affectyone*.'"' But the Emperor was 
 not to be cajoled by a conceit of so puerile a nature,

 and received tlie present in tlie same strain of 
 affected courtesy in wliicli it was sent. " We deli- 
 uered hym," write the ambassadors, in their first 
 despatch from Toledo, of 2d June*, " my Lady 
 Princes tokyne, w*^ her moost harty reco~mendacions, 
 shewing how glad she w^as after she vndirstode of

 lernyng, whiche we declarid vnto hyme the best 
 that we colde, shewing vnto hym the manyfold 
 sedes of vertwus that were ine her grace," — he pro- 
 ceeded to the subject of the French king, &C7 In a 
 second conference, what Wolsey had anticipated 
 came to pass, viz., the demand of the Princess's 
 immediate deliverance, together with her portion of 
 400,000 crowns, half of which might be employed 
 in the projected invasion of France. To such a 
 stipulation, demur of course was made, which at 
 once led to an overture on the part of the Emperor's 
 council to dissolve the marriage, and Henry's con- 
 sent was in form required thereto. In consequence, 
 a Commission was issued at London, bearing date 
 6th July, to revoke the Treaty of Windsor, so far as 
 related to the match between Charles and Maryf; 
 but previous to this another conference had taken 
 place at the Imperial court, and the Princess's deli- 
 
 * MS. Cott. Vesp., C. iii., f. 1G2.

 very again insisted on. The same refusal was given 
 as before ; but to a pretended solicitude of the Em- 
 peror to have her educated in Spain, the ambassa- 
 dors replied, " as concernyng the bringing vp of 
 hyr, if he [King Henry, her father] shuld seke a 
 Maistres for hyr to frame her after the maner of 
 Spayne, and of whom she myglit take example of 
 vertue, he shulde not fynde in all christiendome a 
 more mete then she now hathe, that is to saye, the 
 Queues grace, her mother, who is common of this 
 house of Spayne, and who, for thaffeccione she 
 beritli to themperour, wille norishe her, and bring her 
 vp as may be hereafter to his moost contentaco~n*." 
 In August, therefore, the Emperor wrote with his 
 own hand to the King and Cardinal to request their 
 consent to his marriage with the Infanta of Portugal, 
 and in the following; month he was declared free to 
 follow his own wishes, and the wishes of the Cortes, 
 provided certain pecuniary conditions were com- 
 plied with. These, in consequence of Henry's 
 Treaty of Peace with France, concluded previous to 
 the arrival of the last despatches from England, 
 were partly evaded, and the remainder formed the 
 subject of a tedious discussion f. The whole nego- 
 tiation ended by the recall of Tunstal and Sampson 
 in January, 1525-6, and the union of the Emperor 
 to Isabel of Portugal, in the following March. 
 During the time in which these proceedings had

 taken place, a scheme was formed by the advice of 
 Wolsey, which places the Lady Mary in a new and 
 more dignified point of view, yet it has been- singu- 
 larly neglected by our historians. Hall tells us 
 that the Cardinal, in the 17th Hen. VHI. [1525,] 
 " toke vpon him as the kynges chief counsailler to 
 se a reformacion in the ordre of the kynges hous- 
 hold/' He not only established a new household 
 for the young Duke of Richmond, (of which the 
 original, signed by Wolsey 's own hand, is still pre- 
 served in the British Museum*,) but also at the 
 same time " ordeined a Counsail and stablished 
 another houshold for the Ladie Mary, then beyng 
 Princes of the Realmef." The ulterior object of 
 this is not stated by Hall, nor has it been alluded 
 to by any subsequent historiographer J, although 
 part of the docum.ents illustrative of the proceedings 
 are printed in the Sidney Papers. 
 
 From the Welsh descent of Henry, he was natu- 
 rally induced to direct his attention towards the 
 country of his paternal ancestors, the Tudors ; and 
 the unsettled state of the several districts or marches, 
 and the difficulties felt in consequence of the sepa- 
 rate jurisdictions claimed in them, sufficiently ac- 
 count for the Cardinal's policy, in desiring to reduce 
 them within the stricter limits of the King's autho-

 rity. To accomplisli this object, a household was 
 appointed for the Princess in July, out of which were 
 selected as her Council, Vosey, Bishop of Exeter, 
 President; the Lord Dudley, Chamberlain; the Lord 
 Ferris, Steward; Sir John Port, Knt., Justice; James

 and other officers, who were appointed Councillors 
 attendant on the person of the Princess, and Com- 
 missioners in the parties of Wales and marches of 
 the same, for the execution of the instructions given 
 to them. With these were also appointed, the 
 Countess of Salisbury, as Lady Governess, thirteen 
 ladies and gentlewomen, of whom the Lady Cathe- 
 rine, Countess of Devon, was principal. Dr. Woot- 
 ton, as Dean of the Chapel and Physician, and Mr. 
 John Fetherstone, as Schoolmaster; besides two 
 Chaplains, an Apothecary, a Herald (Chester) and 
 Pursuivant (Wallingford), a Cofferer, a Clerk of the 
 Closet, and a variety of others holding inferior 
 stations, amounting in all to the number of 304 
 persons, the aggregate of whose salaries amounted

 In the instructions signed by Henry VIII. and 
 delivered to the Commissioners, it is recited, that 
 on account of the long absence of the monarch, the 
 tranquillity of Wales and the Marches had been 
 greatly disturbed, and justice imperfectly executed. 
 It was therefore determined by the King, with the 
 advice of his Council, " to send at this tyme our 
 deerest, best beloved, and onelye daughter, the Prin- 
 cesse, accompanied and established w*'' an honor- 
 able, sadd, discreete, and expert counsayle, to reside 
 and remayne in the Marches of Wales, and the par- 
 ties thereaboutes ;" furnished with sufficient power 
 and authority to hold courts of oyer and determiner, 
 for the better administration of justice, the viewing 
 of letters-patent, &c. ; to ensure the due performance 
 of all which certain rules or orders are drawn up*. 
 They are directed to proceed towards the Marches, 
 and when the Princess shall have arrived at Thorn- 
 pointed to be resident about the persone of my lady princes in the 
 Marches of Wales." It agrees generally with the above, but in addi- 
 tion is the Lord Marquess Dorset, as Lord Master, Sir Philip Cal- 
 throp appears as Vice-Chamberlain, and Sir Thomas Denys, Knt., as 
 Comptroller; Christopher Hales is added to the learned council, the 
 Schoolmaster is called Doctor Fetherston, and the Physician is 
 Doctor Fynch. With regard to the female part of the Establishment 
 is this entry, " The Lady Mastres that now is, w* the rest of the gen- 
 til women." It will not fail to be remarked that among the persons 
 thus nominated to attend on the Princess occur some of the brightest 
 names that afterwards shone forth as statesmen and lawyers.

 the Commissioners are to proceed to the execution 
 of their commission. Besides these directions con- 
 cerning the Council, there are also others more 
 especially relating to the governance and ordering 
 of the Princess herself, and her female attendants. 
 The first of these throws so much light on the early 
 education of Mary, that we may be excused for 
 quoting it at length, particularly since it has never 
 yet been printed.

 + The appearance of Mary at this period, accompanied by her reti- 
 nue, is very favorably drawn in a letter from Dr. Sampson to Wolsey, 
 dated 3d Sept., 1525, on the occasion of her visit to her father, at 
 King's Langley, in Hertfordshire, probably to fake leave of him, pre- 
 vious to her departure to the Marches. " My lady princesse com

 Illation can be gleaned. It is probable she passed 
 her time alternately at Ludlow Castle and Ticken- 
 hill, according as the Court for the Marches was 
 held at either house*. The mansion at the latter 
 place is stated by Leland to have been built by- 
 Henry VIL, for his son Prince Arthur, and repaired 
 for the Lady Mary. He describes it as " a fayre 
 manour place by west of the towne [of Bewdley] 
 standinge in a goodly parke, well wooded, on the 
 very knappe of an hill that the towne standeth onf." 
 Li November, (but whether of the year 1525 or 1526 
 is uncertain,) a curious letter is preserved, dated the 
 27th of that month from Tewksbury, and addressed 
 by six of the Princess's Council to Cardinal Wol- 
 seyj, in which they represent, that on account of 
 the great repair of strangers to the Lady Mary anti- 
 cipated at the ensuing Christmas, they beg to know 
 his grace's pleasure respecting " a ship of siluer for 
 the almes disshe," and " spice plates;" as also, " for 
 trumpettes and a rebeck," and whether " any Lorde 
 of Misrule" should be appointed, or provision made 
 '' for enterludes, disgysynges or pleyes in the said 
 fest, or for banket on twelf iiyght." Also whether 
 the Princess should send any new year's gifts to the 
 King and Queen, his Grace, and the French Queen,

 and the value and devise of the same. The Cardi- 
 nal's reply is unfortunately lost, but it is scarcely to 
 be doubted that the request was complied with, at 
 least in part. It would be curious to learn the 
 value of the new year's gift fixed by Wolsey to be 
 sent to himself; but the whole tenor of the letter 
 completely proves the truth of Hall's remark, " that 
 all thyng that was doen was doen by hym, and 
 without his assent nothyng was doen." Two rolls 
 of the expenses of the Princess's Council and House- 
 hold are yet extant among the royal MSS. The first* 
 is an account of the sums paid by the Treasurer of 
 the Chamber and the Cofferer, from 1st July, 1525, 
 to 31st Dec. 1526, i. e., for the space of one year 
 and a half, amounting to 5962/. 5?. 0|c?., over and 
 above a payment of 426/. lis. Od. into the Exche- 
 quer. Of this large total, 1192/. 6s. 5d. are dis- 
 bursed by the Treasurer on the following accounts : 
 For alms and oblations, 31/. 19^. 8d. Expenses of 
 the Councillors being out of court on commissions, 
 96/. 15.?. 9^d. Rewards to messengers, and apparel 
 of footmen, 89/. I5s. 6jc?. Cloth, velvets, &c., for 
 the wardrobe, 163/. 11^. 2d. Wages and fees of 
 the Councillors and others, 265/. I6s. 8d. Buildings 
 and reparations at Ludlow and Bewdeley, in the 
 manor of Tyknell, 534/. 7s. 6d. ; and wages of four 
 gentlewomen for three months, 10/. The Cofferer's 
 disbursements for the same period (which are not 
 specified, but which comprehended the ordinary 
 
 * Bibl. Reg. 14, B- xix. 
 
INTRODUCTORY MEMOIR. xlv 
 
 expenses of provisions, wine, &c.) amounted to 
 4769/. 18?. 7|f/. The second roll* is a particular 
 of the Cofferer's account for October, November, 
 and December, 1526, contrasted with the three pre- 
 ceding months, viz. for the latter, 895/. 9^. lOjc/., 
 and for the former, 1033/. 11*. 4|f/., leaving an 
 excess of 138/. Is. 6^d. These accounts afford a 
 competent idea of the state kept up in the Princess's 
 Court during this period, and the dignity conferred 
 on her at a time when the mind begins to feel 
 deeply the impressions made by exterior objects, 
 but which, afterwards, must only have contributed 
 to render more bitter the obscurity and retirement 
 to which she was condemned. 
 
 It is, apparently, to the residence of the Lady 
 Mary in the Marches, that we are to attribute the 
 intimacy formed with the Lady Herbert of Troy, 
 Sir Rice Mansell, and other Welsh families of dis- 
 tinction, and to the same cause may be ascribed tlie 
 appearance of so many Cambrian names in the lists 
 of her household. 
 
 The Princess, however, did not long continue to 
 support the royal character conferred on her f , for in 
 May, 1527, we find her taking a part in the grand 
 banquet and mask given at Greenwich to the French 
 ambassadors, described at length by Hall. After 
 various scenes of courtly mummery, " then out of a 
 caue issued out the Ladie Mary, doughter to the

 Kyng, and with her seuen ladies, all appareled 
 after the romayne fashion, in riche clothe of gold of 
 tissue and crimosin tinsel, bendy, and their heres 
 wrapped in calles of golde, with bonetes of crimosin 
 veluet on their heddes, set fidl of pearle and stone : 
 these eight Ladies daunced with the eight Lordes 
 of the Mount*," &c. The principal object of the 
 ambassadors, Gabriel, Bishop of Tarbes, and others, 
 was to demand the hand of the Princess in marriage, 
 either for Francis, the French king, or for his second 
 son, Henry, Duke of Orleans, afterwards Henry H. 
 This negotiation had commenced in 1526, and 
 formed one of the wily plans of Wolsey to detach 
 Francis from an alliance with the Emperor. In the 
 month of November of that year, the English minis- 
 ter at Paris, John Clerk, Bishop of Bath, was in- 
 structed to sound the Lady Regent on the subject, 
 and to express to her how sincerely the King de- 
 sired the match. Finding her favorable to the 
 scheme, the Bishop then spoke to Francis himself, 
 and used every argument in his power to induce 
 the King to enter into the Cardinal's views. He 
 called Mary " the perle of the worlde, and the 
 jowelle that his highnes [Henry VHL] estemyd 
 more then any thyng in erthe ;" and " besides this, 
 Sir," added the ambassador, " she is of that beawtie 
 and vertue'' — and here he was proceeding to enter 
 at large in praise of the Lady Princess, but Francis 
 interrupted him, and said, " I praye you repeat vnto 
 
 * Fo]. 156. b. 
 
INTRODUCTORY MEMOIR. xlvii 
 
 me non of alle thies matters. I knowe welle ynou 
 hir education, hir forme and fassion", hir beawtie 
 and vertue, and what father and mother she comythe 
 of; expedient and necessarie it shal be for me and 
 for my realme that I marye hir. And I assure you 
 for the same causis I have as great a mynde to hir 
 as evir I had to any woman*." But notwithstand- 
 ing this avowal, on the Bishop questioning him 
 more closely, the King professed his intention was 
 to marry Eleanora^ the sister of the Emperor, to 
 which he was bound by a previous promise. The 
 Cardinal's plan, however, was by no means relin- 
 quished, and Sir William Fitzwilliam was despatched 
 with fresh instructions at the commencement of the 
 ensuing year. By the intrigues also of Wolsey at 
 the Papal court, the Pope's minister was directed 
 to urge Francis to accomplish the match ; tellino- 
 him it was " sancta conjunctio," a holy union, and 
 calculated to secure him a most potent ally ao-ainst 
 the designs of the Emperor. These suggestions, 
 aided by the representations of the Queen Regent, 
 wrought so far on the King, that he is stated to 
 have sent for Mary's picture f, and having made up 
 his mind to marry her, despatched his ambassadors 
 forthwith to England, to enter into negotiation for 
 that purpose. But the political vie^vs formed by 
 Francis and his mother required the immediate 
 solemnization of the marriage, so as to render any

 future evasion, as in the Emperor's case, impossible 
 on the part of Henry. To the objections raised on 
 account of her immature age, the Queen Regent 
 paid little regard, telling Bishop Clerk, she herself 
 had been married when eleven years old; but, to 
 satisfy both parties, she proposed that the marriage 
 should take place at Calais, in August, and after the 
 solemnization, the King, her son, might " abide him- 
 self for an hour or less with the Princess," and so 
 beino; assured of his wife, Kino- Henry miaht carry 
 her back aofain to Enoland, " till she should be ac- 
 counted more able*," Sec. The Bishop adds in his 
 despatch, " This overture our ambassadors think 
 very strange." It was, indeed, of a nature not at all 
 likely to be complied with by Henry, who must have 
 foreseen the many objections which might subse- 
 quently have arisen on the leoality of a match so 
 concluded. The French ambassadors, Tarbes and 
 Turenne, finding him inflexible on this point, at 
 length signed a treaty on 30th April, by which the 
 sinofular alternative was ao-reed on, that ]Mar\- should 
 marry either Francis, or his second son, Henry, 
 Duke of Orleans, — the former, should he remain a 
 widower till she arrived at the age of puberty, — the 
 latter, should a marriao-e in the mean time be con- 
 eluded by Francis with the Emperor's sister f.

 The object of this treaty, as in the case of most 
 of those entered into prospectivelj/, was never accom- 
 plished ; but, singular to remark, it gave rise to 
 that extraordinary series of events, which produced 
 the degradation of the Princess and her mother, 
 and eventually, that change both in Church and 
 State, known by the name of the Reformation. It 
 is stated to have been by the Bishop of Tarbes, 
 (the principal minister employed by Francis on the 
 above mission,) that scruples were first excited in 
 Henry's mind of the validity of his marriage with 
 his brother's widow; and so predisposed was the 
 King to free himself from an union which had be- 
 come tasteless, that before the month of July, in 
 the same year [1527], rumours of a divorce were 
 very generally reported, and were as generally un- 
 popular*. The mission of Wolsey to France about 
 that timef seems to have had for its object two 
 
 set up in London against it. They objected also to tlie Duke of 
 Orleans: " Some said she was mete for him self (Francis), but many 
 a man raarueled vvhy she was denayed for the second sonne, seyng 
 that in the x yere of this kyng, it was concluded that she should 
 marry the Dolphin, beyng the first sonne." Hall, fol, 155. b. 
 
 * Henry's affection, or, to speak more truly, desire for Anne Boleyn, 
 must have commenced, as remarked by Lingard, before the death of 
 the old Earl of Northumberland, who expired in 1526. (Dugd.p. 283.) 
 According to Turner, p. 473, it began in the spring of 1527, certainly 
 before the arrival of the ambassadors.

 1527. Rymer, vol. xiv., p. 207, and his own Minute of the points to

 principal points, — one, the often talked of marriage 
 between the Princess Mary and the Duke of Orleans, 
 which formed the first article in the Treaty of Fe- 
 deration, signed at Amiens, the 18th of August*; 
 and secondly, the choice of a future Queen. But 
 with regard to the latter, the will of the monarch 
 prevailed over the ambitious schemes of his minis- 
 ter, and Wolsey, on his return, had the mortification 
 to hear the King's fixed intention of marrying the 
 daughter of Sir Thomas Boleyn ; a determination 
 which struck a death-blow to all the Cardinal's 
 long-enjoyed pomp and power. 
 
 There can be little or no doubt, that the plan of 
 divorce was originally projected by Wolsey him- 
 self f, probably in the preceding year, and commu- 
 nicated to the King by means of some secret collu- 
 sion with the Bishop of Tarbes, and Longland, 
 Bishop of Lincoln, Henry's confessor. When first 
 disclosed to the Queen, about the middle of the 
 year 1527, it produced, as one of Wolsey 's unfeeling 
 
 "^ Rymer, vol. xiv., p. 203. Le Grand, i., 54. Wolsey's account 
 of his conference with Francis is higlily curious. The King begged 
 the Princess might be given to himself, protesting she would be the 
 " lapis angularis" of the Treaty with Henry, not only because he 
 loved her above all creatures, but also on account of her excellent 
 quaUties, education, virtue, favour, and beauty. After this rhetorical 
 display " set forth vehemently" by Francis, but rightly appreciated 
 by the Cardinal, the King w^as induced to transfer the Princess's hand 
 to his son, the Duke of Orleans. " State Papers," p. 244.

 agents writes, " a short tragedy;" and instead of 
 submitting at once to the pleasure of the King and 
 Cardinal, as was expected, " she was very stiff and 
 obstinate," and appealed to the Court of Rome as 
 the only authority competent to judge her cause. 
 Application was formally, therefore, made to the 
 Pope in Sept. 1527, for a divorce, solemn consulta- 
 tions of doctors and jurists were held, and every 
 wheel put in motion to urge the matter forward, 
 that political intrigue or money could command. 
 The sequel of these proceedings is well known. 
 The arrival of Campegio, the legate, in Oct. 1528, — 
 the judicial proceedings in England, — the reiterated 
 appeal of the injured Queen, — the revocation of her 
 cause to Rome, in July, 1529, — the consequent fall 
 of Wolsey, — the papal sentence in January, 1531-2, 
 in favor of Catharine, — the private marriage of the 
 King to the object of his admiration in January, 
 1532-3, — and the divorce pronounced by Cranmer* 
 in the following May, — are all related with the 
 utmost detail by historians. 
 
 Throughout these transactions, Catharine pre- 
 served a dignity and loftiness of spirit that com- 
 manded the admiration even of her enemies. Her 
 defence was simply this, " I am the King's true 
 wife ;" and after an union of more than twenty

 years, it was surely no common instance of unfeel- 
 ing conduct towards a woman he had so long- 
 cohabited with, and at one time sincerely loved, 
 as to stio-matize her with the crime of incest, and 
 their daughter with the stain of illegitimacy ! And 
 this, too, from one who had publicly declared of 
 her, that she was " a woman of moste gentlenes, of 
 moste humilitie and buxumnes, and of all good qua- 
 lities appertainyng to nobilitie ! *" The King still 
 treated her with external marks of civility, although 
 at the same time writing letters of the most fulsome 
 language to Anne Bolevn, which, in the eyes of any 
 virtuous woman, so long as Catharine lived, ought 
 to have been considered as an insult f. Many writers 
 have fixed on the year 1525 as the period when 
 Henry first abstained from the Queen's bed, but 
 this cannot be true, since a letter written in October, 
 1528, by the Bishop of Bayonne, expressly notices 
 the circumstance of the King-'s continuino- to live 
 with the Queen on the same familiar terms as be- 
 fore:}:. Hall speaks the same language, when refer- 
 ring to the spring of 1531, and says, although Henry 
 " sore lamented his chaunce & made no maner of

 Casali, in January, 1528-9, in which he says, that the King, on account 
 of some diseases in the Queen pronounced incurable, (" morbus non- 
 nullos quibus absque remedio Regina laboral,") added to some 
 scruples of conscience (which are prudently mentioned last), had 
 at length resolved to abstain from her company. Burnet, vol. i., pt. i.,

 myrtlie as he was wont to do/' yet he " dyned & 
 resorted to the Queue as he was accustomed, & 
 minished nothyng of her estate, & moch loued & 
 cheryshed their doughter the Lady Mary*." But 
 this was a veil to blind the eyes of the world : the 
 *' Privy Purse Expenses" of the King instruct us 
 more accurately as to the real feelings of Henry 
 towards his consort, and the utter neglect she expe- 
 rienced from him. During a period of more than 
 three years, from November, 1529, to December, 
 1532, her name occurs but twice, and then only in 
 reference to her servants, whilst in every page evi- 
 dence appears of the favours and honours heaped 
 upon the minion Anne Boleyn. At length, this 
 scene of duplicity ceased, and on the 14th July, 
 1531, Henry took his leave of the Queen at Wind- 
 sor, never again to see lierf. 
 
 Of the Princess, from the year 1527 to the con- 
 clusion of her mother's long-pending cause, scarcely 
 the slightest information is to be found. Strype 
 mentions incidentally, that about May, 1528, she 
 had an attack of the small-pox ; but this appears to 
 be a mistake, arising from the circumstance of some 
 of Anne Boleyn's attendants having been affected 
 by the disease then prevalent, called the " sweating 
 sickness J." A few scattered notices of the Princess

 also occur in Henry's " Privy Purse Expenses," 
 which may be here excerpted. In December, 1529, 
 the sum of twenty pounds was given to her, " for

 household, for her use^. She had been ill shortly 
 before this, for on the same day an entry is made,

 was accustomed to bestow on Anne Boleyn in a 
 single day. 
 
 From the time of Catharine's divorce, her daughter 
 had been separated from her entirely, probably in 
 order to prevent the latter's imbibing too strongly 
 her mother's principles. Yet they were permitted 
 to correspond, or did so by stealth ; for a letter from 
 the Queen to the Princess, written probably in 1531 
 or 1532, is preserved, dated from Woburn, in Bed- 
 fordshire*. It is in reply to one sent by Charles 
 Morley, one of Mary's footmen, to inquire after 
 her mother's health, in which Catharine writes, " I 
 am in that caas that the long absence of the King 
 and you troublethe me.'' She expresses her joy to 
 hear from her daughter, and the amendment of her 
 health, and then adds some advice relative to Mary's 
 studies, which shall be considered hereafter. She 
 concludes by desiring to be remembered to " my 
 lady of Salisbury," and signs herself " your loving 
 mother, Katherina the qwenef."' The household, 
 also, of the Princess was certainly permitted to re- 
 main for some months on the same footing as pre- 
 vious to the divorce. This is proved by a roll of 
 her establishment J, dated 1st October, 25th Hen.

 sisted of was 162, of whom the Countess of Salis- 
 bury was Lady Governess; Lord Huse (Hussey), 
 Chamberlain ; the Lady Margaret Douglas and eight 
 others, Gentlewomen ; Mr. Fetherston, Schoolmas- 
 ter ; two Chaplains, a Clerk of the Closet, Cofferer, 
 &c. But, it is obvious, this appearance of state 
 could not be suffered to continue long, and the 
 birth of Elizabeth, in September, 1533, decided the 
 fall and degradation of Mary. Soon after this event, 
 the Council sent word to her by John, Lord Hussey, 
 her Chamberlain, that she should lay aside the 
 name and dignity of Princess, which she was com- 
 manded to bestow on the infant daughter of Anne 
 Boleyn*. Both of these orders she refused to obey, 
 and by this opposition to the King's will gave such 
 cause of offence, that she was thenceforth not 
 allowed to come near the Court, but confined to 
 different houses in the country. 
 
 It is, in all probability, to this period must be 
 referred the extraordinary letter written by the 
 Queen to her daughter, printed by Burnet f, occa- 
 sioned by a knowledge she had obtained of the 
 atrocious deed meditated by Henry, who (to use

 Burnet's own words), " being impatient of contra- 
 diction from any, but especially from his own child, 
 was resolved to strike a terror in all his people, hy 
 piittmg her openlj/ to death !!! " The language she 
 adopts is that of ardent piety, mingled with the 
 feelings of a mother, but in some passages obscure, 
 owing to our being so imperfectly acquainted with 
 the transaction. She tells Mary, she has heard 
 such tidings, " that I do perceive (if it be true) the 
 time is near that Almighty God will provide for 
 you;" and beseeches her to agree to his pleasure 
 " with a merry heart," and offer herself to God, by 
 the use of confession, and keeping his command- 
 ments. Next follows some advice relative to Mary's 
 conduct towards her father ; and she is bidden, in 
 case " a certain lady" shall come to her, bringing a 
 letter from the King, to answer in few words, 
 ^' obeying the King your father in everything, save 
 only that you will not offend God, and lose your soul, 
 and go no further with learning and disputation in 
 the matter," (evidently here alluding to the argu- 
 ments used for and against the divorce.) The cau- 
 tion is repeated to " speak few words, and meddle 
 nothing." She sends her daughter two books in 
 Latin ; one De Vita Christi, (probably the celebrated 
 work of Thomas a Kempis,) the other, Jerome's 
 Epistle to Paula and Eustochium. The Queen, in 
 addition, desires the Princess to keep her mind and 
 body chaste, not desiring any husband nor deter- 
 mining herself to any kind of living " until this

 troublesome time be past." Then again recurring 
 to the cause which prompted the epistle, she writes, 
 " And now you shall begin, and by likelihood I 
 shall follow. I set not a rush by it, for when they 
 have done the uttermost they can, then I am sure 
 of the amendment." She concludes by telling Mary 
 not to take any pains to send to her, for, if she may, 
 she will write again; and desires, as usual, her re- 
 membrances to the Countess of Salisbury*. 
 
 Whatever may be thought of Henry's real inten- 
 tions towards his daughter, it cannot be doubted, 
 after reading the above letter, that the Queen be- 
 lieved her life to be in danger f. But shortly after 
 this, viz. in December, 1533, the King's determina- 
 tion to lessen, and, in fact, abolish altogether, the 
 state still maintained by Queen Catherine and the 
 Princess, was evinced by certain propositions made 
 to the Council, one of which was " to set order and 
 establishement of the Pryncesse Dowagiers house 
 w* all celeryte, and also of my Lady Maryes house, 
 and of the Lady Princesses [Elizabeth's] house:}:." 
 Commissioners were accordingly appointed for this 
 purpose. The Duke of Suffolk, the Earl of Sussex,

 Mr. Comptroller [Sir William Poulet], and Mr. 
 Dean [Richard Sampson], were ordered to wait 
 on the " Princess Dowager*," whilst " for the 
 diminishing- the house and ordering of the Lady- 
 Mary," were nominated the Duke of Norfolk, the 
 Lord Marnix, the Earl of Oxford, and Dr. Fox, the 
 King's almoner, who were directed to repair to her, 
 and follow such instructions as they should receive. 
 What these instructions were, does not appear on 
 record, and the Privy Council Books, which might 
 supply the deficiency, are also lost ; but we know 
 that the Lady Mary's household was dissolved, and 
 only those few persons permitted to remain whose 
 attendance was indispensable. 
 
 Early in the following year, 1533-4, the Act of 
 Succession was passed, which declared the marriage 
 of Catherine to have been unlawful, and settled the 
 crown on the issue of Anne Boleynf . By the same 
 authority, Catherine is ordered to be styled no

 t This Act seems, by special order, to have been sent to the Queen 
 and Princess, and read before them, as may be inferred from some 
 private memoranda in Cromwell's handwriting, made in this year, 
 among which occurs : " Item to send the Copye of the Acte of the 
 Kinges Succession to the Prynces Dowager and also to my Lady 
 Marye, and to geve specyall comandement that the same may be

 longer Queen, but the Dowager of Prince Arthur, 
 
 This indignity she never would submit to, and 
 
 documents still exist, in which with her own hand 
 
 she has blotted out the obnoxious title. The King 
 
 seems to have urged this point beyond any other, 
 
 probably from the peculiar situation in which he 
 
 had placed Anne Boleyn, who must have felt she 
 
 had no right to the name of Queen, so long as 
 
 Catherine insisted on retaining it. To persuade her 
 
 to yield, a deputation was sent to her at Bugden, in 
 
 May, consisting of Lee, Archbishop of York, and 
 
 Tunstal, Bishop of Durham, but without avail*. 
 
 Another trial was soon after made, and certain 
 
 articles or instructions were delivered by the 
 
 King's Council to Lord Mountjoy, Sir Ralph 
 
 Dymok, and others of the Queen's household, the 
 
 principal object of which was to induce her to 
 
 relinquish the disputed title. After employing 
 
 threats and menaces of the King's displeasure 
 
 against herself and attendants, a specious argument 
 
 is used, drawn from the Queen's well-known fears 
 
 and affection for Mary ; and the Commissioners are 
 
 directed to beseech her " cheifly aboue all to haue 
 
 reorard to her honorable and most dere dauofhter the 
 
 Ladie Princesse. From whom, percase, the Kings 
 
 highnes (being thus enforced, exagitate, and moued 
 
 by the vnkindnes of the Dowagier) might also with-

 drawe his princely estimation, goodnes, zeale & 
 affection, [to] her no litle regreete, sorrow, and ex- 
 treeme [ca] lamitie*." In the report given bv the 
 above persons of their proceedings, they state they 
 came to the Queen's house on the 3d of July : she 
 was unwell at the time, and was oblio-ed to receive 
 them lying on a pallet. Having assembled her 
 household, she listened and replied to the several 
 arguments made use of; and when they came to the 
 covert menace directed against her daughter, she 
 replied thus : — " As to the Prynces her doughter, 
 she sayde that she was the Kynges true begotten~ 
 Childe, and as God had gyven her vnto them, so 
 for her parte she wolde rendre her againe vnto the 
 Kyng, as his doughter, to do w* her as shall stande 
 w* his pleas^ trustyng to God that she woll proue 
 an honest woman f ." 
 
 Not being able to succeed in their attempts to 
 force Catherine to renounce the title of Queen, the 
 King and his Council seem to have turned their 
 wrath on the Princess, and to have adopted mea- 
 sures of a harsher nature towards her. In a mutilated 
 letter % from Sir William Fitzwilliam, Treasurer of 
 the King's Household, to Crumwell, is an account 
 of a search made in the coffers of the Lady Mary, 
 which were sealed up, and various papers seized,

 put into a bag, sealed, and sent to the Secretary, 
 together with a purse of purple velvet, containing 
 some writing (perhaps the very letter from her 
 mother quoted from above). The document is un- 
 fortunately too imperfect to enable us to learn more 
 particularly the cause of this proceeding, but it 
 unquestionably has reference to the conduct of 
 Mary in espousing her mother's cause. Several 
 persons also were about the same time committed 
 to the Tower, on the charge of holding private in- 
 tercourse with the Lady Mary, and styling her 
 Prmcess after the prohibition issued against it. 
 Among these was Lady Anne Hussey, who had 
 formerly been one of Mary's Gentlewomen ; and her 
 examination, taken on the 3d of August [1534?], 
 is still preserved *. Various interrogatories are put 
 to her, such as the following: How often she had 
 repaired to the Lady Mary since the time she lost 
 the name of Princess? whether she was sent for, 
 and on what occasion she went ? whether she knew 
 that the Lady Mary was justly declared by law to 
 be no Princess, and yet had so called her ? what 
 moved her to do so ? whether she had received any 
 messages or tokens from the Lady Mary, and what 
 persons at that time visited her at Hunsdon (where 
 she then resided) ? The replies are short and un- 
 equivocal, the language of one who felt she had

 done nothing wrong, yet sensible of the dano-er 
 incurred. She states she had visited the Princess 
 only once since the King had discharged her from 
 that lady's service (in Dec. 1533), namely, at 
 the previous Whitsuntide, as she and Lord Hussey 
 came up to the parliament, and the visit was 
 altogether accidental. She owned she had inad- 
 vertently called the Lady Mary twice by the 
 name of PrincesSy not from any wish to disobey the 
 laws, but simply from her having been so long ac- 
 customed to do so. She confessed also having re- 
 ceived a trifling present from Mary. In regard to 
 the names of those persons who continued to visit 
 at Hunsdon, she mentions the Lord Morley and his 
 Lady, Mr. Shakerley and wife, Sir Edward [Bayn- 
 ton?], and others, most of whom, it will be remarked, 
 occur in the present volume as personal friends of 
 the Princess. 
 
 This proceeding affords a striking example of the 
 mean and petty system of tyranny and espionage 
 pursued by the King against his unoffending wife 
 and daughter * ; but in other respects, also, his 
 
 * The Emperor and his Court were loud in their complaints of 
 Henry's conduct ; and in MS. Cott. Nero, B. vi., f. 85, is the draft of 
 a letter to the English Ambassador resident there, containing a la- 
 boured and varnished defence of the measures pursued by the King. 
 The letter is corrected and interlined by Cromwell, as distinguished 
 beneath in Italics. The Ambassador is directed, as touching the 
 " brute" of the " misentreatie " of the Queen and Princess, to alledge 
 " that suche reporte and brute is vntrwe, affirmynge that in all thinges

 behaviour towards them was carried to a height of 
 cruel insensibility scarcely credible. Both lived in 
 retirement and obscurity, and the health of either, 
 naturally indiiferent, suffered considerably from the 
 privations they were compelled to endure. The 
 most ardent wish of Catherine was to see and em- 
 brace her daughter before her death, yet Henry was 
 monster enough to refuse the request. There is a 
 long and earnest letter from her on the subject, 
 addressed to some person she calls her " especial 
 
 allotting and apoynteng vnto hir of londes, tentes, possessions, and 
 all other thinges condigne for suche an estate, it is donne in euery 
 thinge to the beste that can be deuised, and the like also of or dowghter

 mete that any persone sholde prescrybe vnto vs how we sholde order 
 d' own dowghter, we being her naturall Father, which thinges o' plesure 
 is that ye boldlieand assuredlie shall declare 85 deffend." Catherine's 
 conduct is then complained of towards the councillors sent to declare 
 the divorce to her, and {he justness of the King's cause, which, never- 
 theless, she had " in moste vngoodlie, obstinate, and inobediente wise 
 wilfullie resisted, sette at nowght, and contempned," so as to have 
 incurred thereby the extreme penalty of the law. This was probably 
 written in 1534. In the draft of another despatch to Mr. Pate, Arch- 
 deacon of Lincoln, dated 25 Oct. [1535 ?], in MS. Harl. 283, f. 10, 
 allusion is made to a report, at the Imperial Court, of Henry's inten- 
 tion to marry Mary " to som base bloode, at the persuasion of som 
 one man, that neither loueth God, vs, nor that house and famylie.'' 
 Cromwell himself is probably here meant, but the circumstances 
 which occasioned such a rumour are unknown to us. The King con- 
 tradicts it, and writes, " we here suche naturall and entier affection 
 to 0"^ saide doughter, as when we shall happen to bestowe her, it shall 
 well appere that we have no lesse regarde to o' bono' and thavaunce- 
 ment of 0' blode theu appertyneth." Cf. MS. Cott. Vitell., B. xxi.,

 friend," the perusal of wliicli will demonstrate the 
 pitiful insults this good and amiable woman had 
 submitted to. She thanks him for the pains he has 
 taken in speaking to the King on the subject of 
 seeing her daughter, and adds " as [touching] the 
 answer which hathe byn made youe, that his [High- 
 ness] is contented to sende her to some place nygh 
 me \_so as] I do not se he?','' she prays him to pre- 
 sent her thanks for even this shadow of comfort, and 
 then proceeds " [as to my] seyng of her, yow shall 
 certifie that if she were [within] one myle of me, I 
 wolde not se her. For the [time per] mvttith not 
 that I shuld go aboute sightes [and be it] that 
 I wolde, I coulde not, by cans I lack [provision] 
 the? for e^.'' The poor Queen is content to relin- 
 quish the sight of her child, so that she may be 
 near her, but should her affection create a wish to 
 break the promise she makes, she declares tlie 
 means of leaving her house are not in her power, 
 i. e., she has not even a horse or a litter allowed 
 her ! She goes on, however, to beg that the King 
 may be always told, the thing she most desires, is 
 the company of her daughter, " being assured, [that 
 a little] comfort and myrth which she shuld take 
 [with me] shuld undoubtedly be half a health unto 
 her." She concludes by appealing to the honour 
 and conscience (!) of the King, and offers her own 
 person as surety for the Princess. But Henry was

 deaf to all entreaties ; and although she was 
 seconded by her daughter with tears*, permitted 
 the Queen to expire without the sad indulgence of 
 bidding her only child a last farewell ! She expired 
 at Kimbolton (whither she had removed from Bug- 
 den) on 8th January, 1535-6, worn out by a load 
 of bodily and mental affliction. Just before her 
 death she addressed a few lines to her husband f, 
 beseeching him to be a good father to her daughter, 
 and concluding with an expression of affection the 
 man she wrote to least of all men deserved. By 
 her will she bequeathed to Mary the collar of gold 
 she brought with her from Spain, and the furs of 
 her gowns J. 
 
 A few reflections may here be allowed on the 
 feelings of the Princess at the loss of her mother. 
 She had now arrived at the age of twenty years, 
 and had long been accustomed to think and judge 
 for herself. " She could not have been ignorant," 
 to use the words of an acute and learned historian, 
 " of the injuries she had suffered, and her resent-

 ment was daily strengthened by the jealousy of a 
 hostile queen and the caprice of a despotic father *." 
 To be degraded from the rank to which she was 
 entitled by birth to a state of comparative obscurity ; 
 to hear the marriage of her revered parent pro- 
 nounced incestuous, and herself shut out from all 
 hope of succession to the throne ; to witness the law- 
 less proceedings carried on under the cloak of religion ; 
 to be deprived of the natural right of a child to see 
 and embrace its parent ; and more than all, to sub- 
 mit to the insolence of the woman who had assumed 
 the title of Queen, and who had the indecency to 
 rejoice publicly at her mother's death ; — were all 
 these wrongs to be silently stifled and forgotten? 
 No. The common feelings of nature and of female 
 pride forbade it, and even Christian charity could 
 claim no more from Mary than what she voluntarily 
 oifered, — a prayer for the forgiveness of " that 
 womanj'' who, while she lived, was her enemy, and 
 the cause of all the obloquy and disgrace her mother 
 had sunk under, and she herself had endured. The 
 situation, indeed, of Mary, at her mother's death, 
 was truly pitiable, and even her life was not 
 considered in safety. In a letter from Edmund 
 Harvel, the English Resident at Venice, to Thomas 
 Starkey, a learned divine, and afterwards the King's 
 Chaplain, dated 5th Feb. 1535-6, he writes f, that

 the news of the old Queen's death had been divulged, 
 and received with great lamentations. " For she 
 was incredibly dere unto al men for her good fame, 
 wiche is in grete glorye emong al exteriour nations." 
 He continues, in Latin, " Hie palam obloquuntur 
 de morte illius. Verentiir de Puella Regia, ne 
 brevi matrem sequatur. I assure you men speaketh 
 here tragice of thes maters, wiche is not to be 
 towched by letters." 
 
 But the term was now quickly approaching 
 which was to change wholly the relation then ex- 
 isting between the Princess and her father, and 
 restore her as suddenly as unexpectedly to a share 
 of the favour and consideration she had previously 
 enjoyed. The arrest and execution of Anne Boleyn, 
 in May, 1536, at once opened a path to Mary's 
 reconciliation with the King. 
 
 It may be considered among the last acts of 
 Anne Boleyn's repentance, that, on the evening 
 previous to her execution, falling on her knees 
 before Ladv Kino-ston, wife of the Lieutenant of the 
 Tower, she requested her to go in her name to the 
 Lady Mary, to kneel before her in like manner, and 
 beg of her to pardon an unfortunate woman the 
 many wrongs which she had done her*. It was, 
 most probably, on the occasion of this visit from 
 Lady Kingstone, at the Manor of Hunsdon (where, 
 for the last two years, the Princess had resided), 
 
 * Linganl, p. 244. 
 
INTKODUCTOUY MEMOIR. IxiX 
 
 that Mary solicited the good offices of Crumwell 
 towards a reconciliation with her father. Her first 
 letter to him on the subject is dated 26th of May*, 
 in which she writes, " I Avoiild have been a suter- 
 to you before this time to have been a mean for me 
 to the King's grace, my father, to have obtained his 
 Grace's blessing and favour ; but I perceived that 
 no body durst speak for me as long as that woman 
 lived, which now is gone, whom I pray our Lord of 
 his great mercy to forgive." She desires him, 
 therefore, as one of her chief friends, to obtain per- 
 mission for her to write to the King. She adds, 
 she has not written so much " this two year and 
 more, nor could have found the meanes to do it at 
 this time, but by my Lady Kingston's being here." 
 With much difficulty this permission was obtained, 
 which she acknowledo'es in another letter to the 
 Secretary, on the 30th Mayf- Accordingly the 
 Princess addressed a letter to the King, on the 1st 
 June:};, begging for forgiveness in the most humble 
 terms, and asking leave to wait on his new Queen, 
 Jane Seymour. A week after, having received no 
 answer, she ventured to send " a token " to Crum- 
 well, to deliver to her father, and to ask for one in 
 return from him§; and the following day, June 8th, 
 she again addressed the King, praying to receive some 
 mark of his favour, bv letter or message ||. Two

 days afterwards the same request is repeated in still 
 more abject and humiliating language*, and she 
 sent a copy of it inclosed to Crumwell, intreat- 
 ing, at the same time, not to be forced to anything 
 beyond what her conscience would admit : " For I 
 assure you," she writes, " by the faith I owe to 
 God, I have done the uttermost that my conscience 
 will suffer me'| ." This last letter did not please, 
 because she had used the words " next to Almighty 
 God," in speaking of her submission to the King. 
 In her next letter, of the 13th June:j:, she declares 
 she did not mean this to be understood as Crumwell 
 had taken it, but wrote so by reason of continual 
 custom ; " For I have always used in writing and 
 speaking to except God in all things." She had 
 now, however, to deal with one who was his own 
 god, and, therefore, by Crumwell's direction, she 
 re-copied the letter, but in the same terms as before, 
 and on the following day (14th) a third copy was 
 made, omitting the reservation complained of§. 
 Shortly after this, certain of the King's Council 
 seem to have been sent to her with propositions so 
 repugnant to her conscience, that she refused to 
 comply with them||; and in this perplexity she 
 once more wrote to Crumwell, desiring he would 
 find means to speak with her. This letter is not

 preserved, but CrumweU's answer is*, and, as a 
 specimen of unfeeling and imperious language, ad- 
 dressed to a young woman without a friend near 
 her, and without any resource but the strength of 
 her own mind, is without parallel. He reproaches 
 her in the rudest terms for her conduct, and calls 
 her " the most obstinate, obdurate woman that ever 
 was, and one that so persevering well deserveth the 
 reward of malice in extremity of mischief." He 
 tells her at the same time he has sent a book of 
 articles for her to sign, which, if she refuses to do, 
 he threatens to take his leave of her for ever, and 
 never think her other than the " most uno-rate, un- 
 natural, and most obstinate person living both to 
 God and your most dear and benign father, and 
 not meet to live in a Christian congregation!" In- 
 timidated by such language, Mary at length re- 
 luctantly signed a confession, in the presence of the 
 Council, consisting of three points ; in the first 
 place, submitting herself to the King and his laws, 
 — secondly, acknowledging him to be Supreme 
 Head of the Church, — and, thirdly, confessing her 
 mother's marriage with the King " was by God's 
 law and man's law incestuous and unlawful f." 
 
 Protestant writers have made this acknowledge- 
 ment a cause of triumph. A poor one indeed! The 
 King and his Council, armed with all their power,

 and uttering menaces of the most violent descrip- 
 tion, arrayed against a girl in her twentieth year of 
 age, to force her, against her conscience, to pro- 
 claim her mother incestuous and herself a bastard ! 
 And they succeeded. But it is worthy of remark, 
 so absolute and despotic was the King in his own 
 proceedings, and so tenacious of being in the slightest 
 degree the subject of comment, that at the very 
 time these letters were passing between himself and 
 daughter, to bring about a reconciliation, several 
 persons were arrested and examined by his orders 
 touching the part they had taken in spreading 
 rumours of the probability of such an event 
 taking place. Among them were Sir Anthony 
 Browne, and Sir Francis Bryan, two of the King's 
 Privy Chamber, who were interrogated on the sub- 
 ject in June or July, 1536. They state generally 
 in their replies the report circulated among the 
 gentlemen of the Privy Chamber, that the Princess 
 should be made heir apparent, in case she submitted 
 herself, and the King had no issue by Jane Sey- 
 mour ; that Mr. Carew had sent her a letter, ad- 
 vising her to do so ; that Bess Harvye had applied 
 to be admitted into the Princess's service, but was 
 refused by the King ; and that Bess Darell (who had 
 been left 300 marks by Queen Catharine) had said, 
 she saw no hope of the Lady Mary's relaxing, and, 
 therefore, petitioned for a situation in the Queen's 
 service*. Sir Anthony Browne's statement is more

 circumstantial than that of his companion, and one 
 of the heads of his deposition is as follows : "Item 
 he saieth that sithens master Treasor^s [Sir Will. 
 Fitzwilliam] cummyng to the courte, he hathe de- 
 maunded of him whether the lady Mary shuld be 
 heire apparant or no, to whom he had answered, 
 that in case she wold submytt herselff and be obe- 
 dient as she ought to be, he trusted she shuld, and 
 if she woU not be obedient vnto his grace, I wold 
 q [quod] he, that her hed was from her shulders, 
 that I might tosse it here w^ my fote, and soo put 
 his fote forward spurnyng the russhes." 
 
 After these honorable proceedings the King 
 thought proper to relent, as appears by a letter of 
 the Princess to her father, bearing date 26th June, 
 and another to Crumwell, dated 1st July, thanking 
 him for his favour, and for a horse he had sent her 
 as a present, "wherein," she says, "you have done 
 me a great pleasure. For I had never a one to 
 ride upon sometimes for my health*." For her ap- 
 parel, she adds, she has made out no account, being 
 satisfied to wear whatever the King shall appoint. 
 Two more humble letters to her father on the 8th, 
 and 21st of July, continue to express the poor lady's 
 
 ff. 172, 174. A copy of Sir A. Browne's is also in MS. Sloan, 1786, 
 19, from which it was printed, by the present writer, in "Blore's 
 Sepulchral Monuments." 
 
 * Hearne, lb. pp. 128, 129. In another letter, 20th Aug., she 
 thanks him for the present of another horse. " Wherefore I trust the

 happiness " for the certain arguments of a perfect 
 reconciliation " she had received *, and with these 
 concludes the scene of humiliation she had gone 
 through. 
 
 Soon after this the Princess was allowed an es- 
 tablishment mxore suitable to her rank, and a letter 
 to Crumwell from her on the subject is in Hearnef . 
 A list of the persons nominated, forty-two in number, 
 is preserved in the Cotton library J, and the same 
 continue to attend her during the whole of the period 
 embraced by the Accounts now published ; viz. four 
 gentlewomen, four gentlemen, two chamberers, a

 Strype wishes to ascribe the change in Mary's 
 sentiments towards her father to a project not long 
 after moved by the French King's Ambassadors, the 
 renewal of the match between herself and the Duke 
 of Orleans, but there is not the least reason to 
 believe she was influenced by views of this nature. 
 Notes of a conference between the Princess and the 
 Ambassadors of Spain and France still remain §, 
 which took place some time in June, before the re- 
 conciliation was completed. The paper is much

 damag-ed, and the sense obscure, but we learn from 
 it, that the Imperial Ambassador expressed surprise 
 at " the hevynes of her apparail," and after some 
 commendations of the King-, her father, advised her, 
 on the part of the Emperor, to obedience. She 
 replied, she thanked him for his good counsel, and 
 then proceeds to give some account of her having 
 been so bold as to write to the king, but here, un- 
 fortunately, the MS. is destroyed. The Ambassador 
 assured her, the letters were so conceived, that he 
 could scarcely believe them of her own composition. 
 " They were vndoubtedly, quod she," and added, 
 that she wrote only the truth ; as she thought and 
 felt. " Of trouthe, quod he, yo"" grace in the same 
 declared bothe your wisdom and your lernyng." 
 The French Ambassador is then introduced, but no 
 notes are taken of what passed. But the plan of 
 marriage could scarcely have then been mentioned, 
 since it was only proposed to the King about Oc- 
 tober or November. It is certain, however, Lord 
 Herbert was mistaken in supposing the overture to 
 I have been scarcely listened to, by the Memorial of 
 \ the Articles of the Treaty, printed in Strype *. By 
 one of these the Ambassadors demanded that the 
 Lady Mary should be declared legitimate f, and by

 another, the Duke of Orleans is required to make 
 his abode in England, to be educated and instructed 
 in the language and manners of the people. The 
 negociations were carried on for several months*. 
 So late as the 3d of April, 1537, the advantage of 
 the match and of Mary's legitimacy being declared, 
 are enumerated among the points deliberated on in 
 Council, and although in the hand writing of Paget, 
 were evidently dictated by Crumwell, with whom, 
 in all probability, the project originated. The me- 
 morandum, as written previous to the Council's 
 being held, commences thus : — " First his Highnes 
 hath two doughters, though not laiifidl, yet Kinges 
 doughters, and forasmoche as princes commonly 
 conclude amyties and thinges of greate importance 
 by alliaunces, it is thought necessary that those 
 twoo doughters shalbe made of some estimacion, 
 withoute the which no man woU haue any greate 
 respecte unto them. And forasmoche as thone of 
 them is of more age thenne thother, and more apt 
 to make a present alliance — if it might please the 
 Kinges Highnes to declare her accordmg to his 
 lawes, which to her estimation is thought wilbe 
 a greate thing, or elles otherwise to advannce her 
 to some certain living decent for suche an estate, 
 
 * In a letter from the Privy Council to the Duke of Norfolk, dated 
 4 Feb. 1536-7, they write that letters have been received from the 
 English Ambassadors at Paris, stating their conference with the French 
 King " of the matter of my Lady Mary, which yet remaineth in the 
 same terms you left it." Hardwicke's State Papers, vol. i. p. 35.

 Sec, and so having by this means secured " a pre- 
 sent freende, soo he may haue thother in store her- 
 after at his pleasure, to get also an other freende*." 
 But little sincerity existed on the part of the French 
 Court, and after much discussion, the "matter "was 
 suffered on both sides to drop ; to be renewed when- 
 ever a change of political aifairs rendered it desir- 
 able. 
 
 It is about this period, namely in December, 153C, 
 that the Accounts in the present volume commence. 
 From them may be gleaned many interesting par- 
 ticulars of the private life of the Princess ; her 
 society, style of living, studies, amusements, move- 
 ments from one place to another, and various traits 
 of personal character, together with much curious 
 illustration of the manners and customs of the first 
 half of the 16th century. 
 
 Early in December she appears to have been at 
 Richmond f, which she left some time after the 14th, 
 and removed to Greenwich, for the purpose of 
 spending the Christmas there with the King and 
 Queen:}:. The New Year's gifts then sent to her 
 by the principal persons of the Court will serve 
 to show the good understanding prevailing be- 
 tween the Princess, her father, and Queen Jane 
 Seymour, as also the respect paid to her by inferior

 personages. In the beginning of January tlie Prin- 
 cess went for a short time to the Manors of Hatfield* 
 and New-Hall, alias Beaulieu, in Essex f, and in 
 her way thither, or return, gave money to the 
 Friars of Chelmsford J, and received presents from 
 the Abbess of Barking and Abbot of Stratford §. 
 She returned to Greenwich || by the 7th, where she 
 appears to have remained the rest of the month, 
 and part of the next, since in February the sum of 
 5s. is paid for making a window in her chamber 
 there ^, and lOs. for the rent of a room for her 
 robes**. At the end of February she removed to 
 Westminster, where the French gardener presents 
 her with apples ff, and in March goes to St. 
 James's j:;]:, and pays a visit to Lady Beauchamp in 
 the King's barge §§. Shortly after she appears 
 again on her progress to Hatfield, Chelmsford, and 
 Hunsdonllll, and on Maunday Thursday receives the 
 Sacrament, on which occasion she offers 3*. 9c?. ^^ 
 In the beginning of April we find her returned 
 to Greenwich***, and the removal of her " stuff"" 
 from Westminster is noticed fff . About the middle 
 of this month she seems to have been at New-Hall, 
 but only for a short time, since she is at Greenwich 
 again soon after :}::{; J. She remains here during the 
 months of May and June§§§. At this period she 
 was sick, and her physician and apothecary were

 sent for, the hire of a barge for whom comes to 
 7s. Gd. The sum of 20.?. is also paid to a surgeon 
 for taking blood from her. Soon after this she pays 
 a visit to Mr. Page, where the King's sackbuts play- 
 before her. In July the Princess was at Hampton 
 Court*, and on the 9th of the same month, at 
 Guildford, in Surrey t, where 3.?. Ad. are paid for 
 making a door to her chamber, and 7?. 6d. given to 
 the Friars there. By the 23d she had removed to 
 Easthampstead, in Berkshire, and her apothecary 
 receives a fee of 205. for attendance. During August 
 she was at Windsor, and various keepers receive 
 presents for bringing venison to her;]:. On the 31st 
 her offering is also made there §. Her health must 
 have continued indifferent, for Dr. Michael, the 
 physician, is summoned twice during the month |j. 
 It is pleasing, also, to record at this time a present 
 from the Queen of 50/.^, which was, doubtless, 
 very acceptable, in the slender state of the Princess's 
 finances. 
 
 During September the Lady Mary seems to have 
 resided at Richmond**, and an entry at p. 41 
 would lead us to infer she paid a visit to Hunsdon, 
 towards the close of the month. On the 12th of 
 October following Prince Edward was born, and 
 christened on the ISthtt- At the ceremonial the 
 Princess was godmother, and her train borne by 
 Lady Kingstone, who has before been noticed as a

 particular favorite, tn the expenses of the month 
 an item occurs of 10/. paid for a kirtle of cloth of 
 silver to be worn on the occasion*, and it was pro- 
 bably at the same time the hundred pearls were 
 purchased at the price of I3s. Ad. eachf- Alms 
 also were distributed on the day of the Prince's 
 birth, to the amount of 40.?., and in presents to the 
 nurse, mid wives, and rockers, the large sum of 30/., 
 in which, perhaps, might be included a gold cup 
 she is stated to have presented at the christening:}:. 
 To meet these extraordinary disbursements, an ad- 
 ditional sum of 100/. is received by her from the 
 King. 
 
 In November we find the Princess again at 
 Hampton Court §, and 45?. are paid to Nicholas 
 Sympson, sent by the King from London to draw her 
 tooth ||. At this period we meet, also, with marks 
 of her esteem for the late unfortunate Queen, in the 
 presents made to each of her chamberers, and the 
 sum offered at thirteen masses for her soul at 
 Hampton Court and Windsor. About the 19th of 
 this month she removes to the latter place, and two 
 of Lady Hertford's daughters are brought to visit 
 her there ^. In December, she receives presents 
 from the Abbesses of Elnestow, in Bedfordshire, 
 and Sion, in Middlesex**, probably when on a 
 journey, and shortly after she proceeds by water 
 from Windsor to Richmond ff ; nor does she appear 
 to have joined the King, who is said to have kept

 his Christmas at Greenwich, in mourning apparel*. 
 Against the ensuing New Year's day a cap was 
 bought as a gift to the infant Prince, the cost of 
 which was 3/. 5s., and some silver to embroider a 
 box for the Lady Elizabeth '\\ 
 
 During January, 1537-8, the health of the Prin- 
 cess seems to have suffered, for the apothecary's 
 servant twice brings "stuff" to her J. She con- 
 tinued at Richmond till the middle of February, 
 when she removed to Hanworth Park, and a person 
 is paid 20^. for making, i. e. repairing the way 
 thither. In March she seems to have gone back 
 to Richmond, as two of her tailor's servants are sent 
 there to mend her apparel §, Shortly after a visit 
 is paid to the Prince at Hampton Court, and one of 
 the late Queen's palfrey-men attends the Princess, 
 with two horses, there and back||. At this time, 
 also, a daughter of the Earl of Sussex is brought 
 to her, for the purpose of being baptized, when the 
 Lady Mary stood godmother^. Visits to Hampton 
 Court are repeated twice in April, and once by 
 water**, and a payment of 20^/. occurs for her being 
 ferried on the Thames at various times ft- About 
 the 12th of May she rode again to see the Prince, 
 and returned by water :|::|:. 
 
 It was probably at this period she wrote a letter 
 to Crumwell (now Lord Privy Seal), dated from

 Richmond, 27th May*, to thank hhn for his friendly 
 epistle, advising her to avoid giving cause of offence 
 to the King, concerning the lodging of strangers at 
 her house. She says, " I fear it hath been reported 
 to the worst," nevertheless, so ready was she to 
 yield to the most captious of her father's wishes, 
 that she adds, " I will promise you, with God's help, 
 from henceforth to refrain it so utterly, that of right 
 none shall have cause to speak of it." Crumwell 
 does not seem to have mentioned the authors of 
 these illnatured reports, nor do the expenses pre- 
 sent any extraordinary items of disbursement to 
 authorise them. 
 
 In the following month the Princess was at West- 
 minster f, where she receives some strawberries as 
 a present, and a warrant is issued for some apparel 
 for her J. We find her in July at New Hall, and, 
 about the same time, she courses with her grey- 
 hounds in Waltham Forest§. According to the 
 usual mode adopted of treating her complaint, she 
 again loses blood ||, and has some "stuff" sent 
 her by the apothecary, which is repeated in Sep- 
 tember^. 
 
 It is uncertain where she resided during the 
 latter month, but probably at Hunsdon. She was 
 certainly not far from the Prince (who was either 
 at Bedwell or Tittonhanger), since gratuities to his 
 minstrels are several times noticed**.

 In December a letter is written by her, from 
 Hunsdon, to Crumwell*, in which she says, "It 
 hath pleased the King's Majesty, my most gracious 
 father, of his great goodness, to send me every 
 quarter of this year fourty pounds t, as you best 
 know, for you were always a mean for it, as, I thank 
 you, you be for all my other suits. And seeing 
 this quarter of Christmas must needs be more 
 chargeable than the rest, specially considering the 
 house I am in, I would desire you, if your wisdom 
 thought it most convenient, to be a suiter to the 
 King's said Highness (if it may so stand with his 
 gracious pleasure) somewhat to increase that sum." 
 She adds, she is ashamed to be a beggar, but the 
 occasion is such, that she cannot choose. The cau- 
 tious style Mary had by this time learned to write 
 in cannot fail to be remarked, and we may presume 
 her application was successful, since 100/. are en- 
 tered as received from the King, by the hands of 
 Mr. Hennage, in the same month;};. 
 
 As a New Year's gift to the Prince an embroidered 
 coat of crimson satin was presented §, and a kirtle 
 of yellow satin to the Lady Elizabeth. There are 
 also purchases made in January and February of 
 cloth of silver and cloth of gold ||, but on what par- 
 ticular occasion is not mentioned. The account for 
 the month of March, 1538-9, is wanting in the

 MS., but in April and May the Princess was at 
 Tittonhanger*. At this time the Lady Elizabeth 
 was with her, for there is an item of 20^. given to 
 the former " to playe her w* alle," and a similar 
 entry occurs in the next month f- The minstrels 
 of the Prince also receive a gratuity twice for 
 coming to play to the two ladies J. Indeed, Eliza- 
 beth seems for some time to have inhabited the 
 same mansion with Mary, since, in July, 1536, they 
 were together at Hunsdon§, and in December, 1539, 
 at Hertford Castle ||. Whilst at Tittonhanger, the 
 Princess is let blood twice, and her surgeon comes 
 from London for that purpose^. 
 
 Here there is a blank in the MS., and the Expenses 
 are not resumed till December, 1542. This will 
 afford us an opportunity of reviewing the political 
 incidents of the last three years, so far as they are 
 connected with the Princess. Perhaps there was 
 never an individual whose matrimonial settlement 
 formed so frequently, and with so many powers, 
 the principal feature in their negociations with this 
 country. The proposals made for her by the Em- 
 peror, and by the French King, in behalf of himself 
 and sons, have already been noticed**, and accord-

 ing to the varied state of politics on the continent, 
 the strength or the weakness of Charles and Fran- 
 cis, these offers, somewhat varied, were constantly 
 renewed, as presenting the most ostensible and 
 fairest pretext for drawing the English Monarch 
 into an alliance favorable to the views of either 
 party. The cause of Henry's misunderstanding 
 with the Emperor being partly removed by the 
 death of Queen Catharine, the opportunity was 
 eagerly seized by Charles of renewing an amity 
 which might tend to weaken the power of the 
 French King. But the honor of the imperial family 
 demanded the restoration of the Princess to her 
 place in the succession, whilst Henry's pride re- 
 fused to bend to an act which would be a tacit 
 acknowledgement of his own injustice*. 
 
 So early as April, 1536, a conference was held 
 at Greenwich between the Emperor's Ambassador 
 and the King, as detailed in a despatch to Mr. Pate, 
 
 Casali, in which allusion is made to some overture respecting the 
 marriage of Mary to John Zapolski, King of Hungary, on condition 
 the Emperor would consent and use his influence that the Princess 
 should renounce all pretensions to the throne. The writer proceeds, 
 " Dominus de Gramueles [Granvelle] viro amico meo dixit, quod 
 Orator qui in Anglia est, ad Imperatorem scripsit, quod si Imperator 
 voluerit assentire ut Maria filia renuntiet juribus Regni Angliae, 
 regem Angliae omnia facturum quae Imperator voluerit. Verum 
 autem est quod ista dixit." This was probably about 1536 or 1537. 
 In MS. Cott. Nero, B. vi. f. 24, is the minute of a letter from Henry 
 to the above King of Hungary, alluding to the intelligence received 
 from Casali, and promising him his protection.

 Archdeacon of Lincoln, the English minister resident 
 at the Imperial Court*. Overtures of amity were 
 made on the Emperor's part, accompanied by the 
 demand of Mary's legitimation, " in suche degre, as 
 in defaulte of yssue by o'^ moost dere and moost 
 entirely beloued wif the Queue, she might not be 
 reputed inhable to some place in our succession." 
 As Anne Boleyn at that time was in the full enjoy- 
 ment of the King's favor, and as no steps had been 
 taken or thought of towards a reconciliation with 
 the Princess, a favorable reply could scarcely be 
 expected to such a proposition, and accordingly the 
 following qualified answer was returned, that " in 
 case she shal in her doinges shewe her due obedi- 
 ence to vs, and humbly submyt herself to o"" grace, 
 w* out reluctacon contencon or wresteling against 
 the determynacon of our lawes, we shal not only 
 knowe her for o"" doughter, but vse her besides in al 
 thinges as to the degre of the doughter of soo greate 
 a prince, and the hono"" of her parentage shalbe 
 semely and convenient " — but at the same time de- 
 claring the King's determination not to be directed 
 in or pressed to any particular line of conduct in 
 her behalf. The speedy change, however, produced 
 by the death of Anne Boleyn, in the connection 
 existing between the King and the Emperor, was 
 manifested by the mission of Sir Thomas Wyat to 
 succeed Mr. Pate in the quality of Ambassador 
 
 * MS. Harl. 282, f. 7, dat. 25 Apr. a°. 28 [1536]. 
 
INTRODUCTORY MEMOIR. Ixxxvii 
 
 with the Emperor. In the instructions delivered to 
 him*, he is directed, should the Emperor speak on 
 the subject of Mary's illegitimacy, to argue that it 
 was according to the law of God, by which her 
 mother's marriage was pronounced unlawful, and, in 
 addition, to present a letter from the Lady Mary 
 to the Emperor, whereby he should know how 
 she did repute herself, and how she was willing 
 to be reputed by himf, "his grace [?*. e. Henry] 
 being neuertheles soo good Lorde and Father to her 
 as he is and vndoubtedlye wyll be." And should 
 the Emperor then enter on the subject of the mar- 
 riage lately proposed between the Lady Mary and 
 the Infant of Portugal, and show himself desirous 
 of having it concluded, Wyat is instructed to say 
 he had no special commission to treat on that head, 
 but if the Emperor would be content to receive her, 
 placed in the succession to the crown after all other 
 the King's lawful issue, the King would be willing 
 on such terms to listen to the match. The Emperor 
 seems to have received Wyafs proposals with his 
 usual courtesy and caution, and in May, 1537, sent 
 Don Diego de Mendoza into England to negociate. 
 At first the conferences were unsatisfactory to the 
 English minister, owing to some stipulations re- 
 specting the Pope being " stuck at," but in July

 hopes are entertained of good success *. In October 
 and November the proceedings of the Imperial 
 Ambassadors are again complained of; and it is 
 mentioned that since the Queen's decease, they 
 had demanded Prince Edward for a daughter of the 
 King of Portugal t- Early in the following year 
 a new alliance was suggested, that of Henry to the 
 Duchess of Milan, and amidst such a variety of 
 schemes it is cause of little surprise they should 
 have been conducted on both sides with such an 
 apparent want of sincerity. Shortly after, the 
 official despatch to Wyat states the result of a con- 
 ference held on the 16th Feb., in which the Lady 
 Mary is offered to Don Louis of Portugal, with a 
 portion of 100,000 crowns, and to succeed to the 
 throne after all the King's lawful children, on con- 
 dition Don Louis should be invested with the Duchy 
 of Milan J. This overture appears to have been 
 partly accepted by the Ambassadors, and the mea- 
 sure was considered so ripe, as to occasion a letter

 to be written from King John of Portugal to Henry, 
 signifying his pleasure at the contemplated mar- 
 riage*. But the difficulties were by no means re- 
 moved, and the entanglement of Henry's own match 
 with his daughter's served to render any conclusion 
 more doubtful f, although Dr. Haynes and Dr. 
 Bonner were sent over specially to the Emperor for 
 that purpose. In another conference the Princess 
 was offered on the same conditions as before, but 
 the Ambassadors thought her dote too little, and 
 proffered in return a jointure of only 5000 crowns 
 per annum, and the fourth part of Duke Louis's 
 goods. The King affected to be angry at their 
 offering her " so exile and tenuous a lyving, that 
 she might rather thinke herself marryed to mysery 
 thenne advaunced," and proposed to augment the 
 dote after the rate given to Mary, late Queen of 
 France, provided the Emperor would prefer Duke 
 Louis to Milan, and assure to him and the Lady 
 Mary, and their issue, as much yearly rent as the 
 late Duke of Richmond, " our onely Bastarde sonne, 
 had," with a proportional jointure. But the Am- 
 bassadors could not be prevailed on to concede more 
 as a jointure than the twentieth part of the dote, 
 which the King said, all the world would think " to 
 farre vnder the footej." Some Minutes of Crum- 
 well, touching this negotiation, suggest another

 expedient on the King's side, viz. that in conse- 
 quence of the increase of the dote, "my Lady 
 Marie for her self & alle her posteritie shalle clerely 
 renownce alle thinges that euer she hathe, maye 
 haue, or shulde haue, in your realme, and be bounde 
 to kisse the steppes of your Ma*'^^ fete, for the best 
 father that euer woman had!"* Thus, had the 
 match succeeded, for the consideration of 200,000 
 crowns, the Princess would have forfeited all claim 
 to the succession, i. e. if the will of her despotic 
 parent had been permitted to overbalance the na- 
 tural laws of succession and of the kingdom. 
 
 These proceedings must necessarily have been 
 watched by the French King with a jealous and 
 anxious eye, and the first opportunity seized of 
 interposing between two princes whose union 
 threatened him with danger. Accordingly, we find 
 in May an overture had been made by Francis, 
 personally, to the Bishop of Winchester, resident 
 in France, of a renewal of the often debated mar- 
 riage between Mary and the Duke of Orleans, sup- 
 posing the Emperor, out of the nearness of blood 
 she was to him, would bestow the Duchy of Milan 
 with her, and by so doing promote a general peace. 
 Conferences were held on the proposal in England, 
 and the King professed himself friendly to itf. 
 This appears to have decided the Emperor to con-

 tinue the treaty no longer, and Mendo^a, the Im- 
 perial Ambassador, took his leave in August*, to 
 return homef. Excuses are offered by the King, 
 and the coldness of the Emperor complained of; 
 but at the same time, strange to say, proposals were 
 made to marry Mary to the young. Duke of Cleves, 
 or to the Duke of Urbinoj:! Thus new and mo- 
 mentary projects perpetually prevailed in a court 
 where the King's humour was the guide of his 
 ministers. 
 
 But the matrimonial schemes for the Princess 
 with Portugal having failed §, another was speedily 
 set on foot, and in December, 1538, Christopher 
 Mount and Thomas Pannell were sent to the Duke 
 of Saxony ||, to treat of an alliance between the Lady 
 Mary and the young Duke of Cleves, as previously 
 conferred on between Crumwell and Francis Bur- 
 
 * 1 conceive it is to this period must be referred a letter in Hearne, 
 Syll. Epp. p. 135, addressed by Mary to Crumwell, in which she 
 writes: "I have received your letters, whereby I do perceive the 
 King's Highness pleasure touching my communication to the Em- 
 peror's Ambassadors, when they shall come to visit the Prince Grace, 
 my brother; which thing although (his Grace's pleasure except) I 
 would have been very loath to have spoken of, considering my self a 
 young maid, and very willing to continue that life, if his said Majestic 
 will permit the same ; nevertheless, according to my duty, I shall 
 fulfil all things contained in your letters, as well as my simple wit will 
 serve me." Dated from Portgore [Pyrgo, in Essex], this St. Bartho-

 gart, the Duke of Saxony's Vice-Chamberlain. 
 Their instructions direct them to consult the Vice- 
 Chamberlain on the measures to be adopted, " And 
 if the said Burgartus shall' desire the picture of her 
 face, and alledge that he wrote for it, he ought to 
 remembre that her degre is suche, being the Kinges 
 doughter^ that of no tyme it hath bene sen that the 
 pictures of suche shuld be sent abrodd ; and spe- 
 cyally seen [seeing] that the said Burgartus canne 
 testifie of her proportion, countenaunce, and beautie 
 whoself hath seen her; and although she be but 
 his Graces doughter naturall' oonly, yet nevertheles 
 she is indewed and adornate, as all' the world 
 knowetli, as well' of suche gr'cice of beautie, and ex- 
 cellent proportion of her personage, as of moost ex-

 wold styck nor staye for any parte concerning her 
 beautie and goodnes, but rather more then contente- 
 ment, as he knoweth right well', who, at his being 
 here, sawe her self visage*." But all this was only 
 a cloak to cover Crumwell's real plan of bringing 
 about an union between the King and a daughter 
 of the Duke of Cleves, the accomplishment of which 
 proved so little to Henry's satisfaction, and so fatal 
 to the adviser of it. 
 
 And this brings us to another match in which

 the Princess was seriously engaged, within the 
 period we are now treating of, viz. that in which 
 she was contracted to Duke Philip of Bavaria, 
 Count Palatine of the Rhine. He was one of the 
 noblemen who preceded the arrival of Anne of 
 Cleves into England, about September, 1539*, and 
 the marriage appears to have been arranged in 
 December. It is undoubtedly to this period we 
 must refer the two letters printed in Hearne, pp. 
 126, 149. About the middle of that month Mr. 
 Wriothesley was sent by Crumwell, Lord Privy Seal, 
 with a token from the King to the Princess, then 
 resident at Hertford Castle, to obtain her consent 
 to the proposed match; and in his letter, dated 
 Wednesday, 17th December, he details the result 
 of his conference : " Whereunto she made answer, 
 that albeit the matter were towards her of great 
 importance, and besides, of such sort and nature, as, 
 the King's Majestic not offended, she would wish 
 and desire never to enter that kind of religion, but 
 to continue a maid during her life ;" yet, remember- 
 ing how she had bound herself to submit to the Kino-"s 
 pleasure in every thing, she placed herself entirely 
 in his hands, to provide for her as he thought best. 
 " I assure your Lordship," adds \yriothesley, "here 
 can be no more desired than with all humility and 
 obedience here is offered." Mary's own letter to 
 Crumwell, of the same date, in which she repeats

 the sentiments above expressed, is in Hearne dis- 
 joined from the other, and hence its tendency may 
 have been mistaken*. A draft and fair copy of the 
 Treaty of Marriage, corrected in the hand-writing 
 of Tonstall, Bishop of Durham, is still preserved f- 
 The Duke covenants in it to contract espousals with 
 Mary, who is described as ''juste et legitime inha- 
 bilem et per leges et statuta regni Anglie incapacem 
 ad quamcunque successionem aut titulum, jure 
 hereditario petendum," within one month after his 
 return to England with the ratification of the ar- 
 ticles by his brother Otto Henry, the Elector, and 
 his uncles Lewis and Frederic. Her dote or portion 
 is fixed at 40,000 gold florins of the Rhine, each to 
 be taken at the value of 'Ss. 4d. sterling, equal to 
 66661. ISs. 4d. ; and the King, in addition to this, 
 is to give annually to her, by way of pension, the 
 sum of 12,000 florins, for life. As an equivalent, 
 Philip is to grant letters patent to the Princess, 
 
 * It is a subject of no little surprise, that so acute a writer as Dr. 
 Lingard should have understood the above letters to refer to a project 
 of the King to make the Princess a Nun (!) ; and he places the letters 
 in the year 1536. — Hist. Hen. VIII., p. 252, tz. This assignment is 
 erroneous, for the following reasons, — 1. Because the 17th of Decem- 
 ber in 1536 was not on a Wednesdmj but a Sunday — 2. Because in 
 December, 1536, the Princess was not at Hertford Castle, as proved 
 by these her Accounts — 3. Because Wriothesley describes the Prin- 
 cess Elizabeth as speaking with the gravity of forty years old. This 
 is, of course, exaggerated praise, but in 1536 she could scarcely have 
 spoken at all, whereas in 1539 she was old enough to have learned to 
 say what appeared to him so womanly.

 conveying to her in dower, lands, castles, and 
 domains, equal in value to the annual sum of 10,000 
 florins, or 2500 marks sterling, ultra reprisas. The 
 marriage was considered .-o far advanced, that the 
 Princess received from the Duke a cross of dia- 
 monds, as a present; and in January, 1539-40, he 
 took his departure, for the purpose of obtaining the 
 ratification of the treaty*. This, however, by the 
 change of politics in regard to a confederacv with 
 the German Princes, and the divorce of the King, 
 never took eff"ect, and the treaty itself is almost the 
 only existing evidence of the transaction t- 
 
 During the next two years nothing occurs of a

 January, 1541-2, a final effort was made by the 
 French King to obtain her hand for his youngest 
 son, Charles, now Duke of Orleans. Accordino- to

 the purpose of discussing the match, on 27th Fe-

 Philip was in England a second time ; but I have preferred placing 
 the Treaty in 1539-40, because the Elector Lewis, one of the parties 
 named in it, died in March, 1544.

 merit of certain arrearages due to England, until the 
 marriage was agreed to, and demanded 500,000 
 crowns as the Princess's marriage portion, whilst 
 Henry would only offer 300,000. Another confe- 
 rence took place in April, and on both sides profes- 
 sions made of willingness to conclude the match. 
 But difficulties still existing, the French Ambas- 
 sador asked and obtained a personal interview with 
 Henry, the account of which, in a despatch to 
 Pao-et, is interestino- *. The Kins^ would not listen 
 to the demands respecting the arrearages, and said 
 he loved his daughter well, but himself and honour 
 more. " And, Monseire le Ambassador, (quoth his 
 Ma*'^), she is a Kinges daughter as well as Monsure 
 Dorleaunce is a Kinges sone. And as I shoulde 
 give her, if we proceede herein, she shalbe alsoe

 she is in that case an other manere of pece, and 
 more "to be regarded, then to be asked w*^ such 
 vnreasonable condicon's." 
 
 The interview ends unsatisfactorily to both par- 
 ties, and a few days afterwards certain of the Com- 
 missioners deliver the final answer to France, declin- 
 ing the marriage, unless a reciproqiie or equivalent 
 were given. Thus ended a series of negotiations 
 in which the chief object of either party was to 
 outwit the other.

 We may now return to the Princess's Accounts, 
 vvliich, in December, 1542, shew she then left the 
 Prince, to whom she had been paying a visit, and 
 went to join the King*. In the list of New Year's 
 gifts exchanged shortly afterwards, the Prince sends 
 her a standing cup, gilt, and the Lady Elizabeth a 
 little chain and pair of hose, gold and silkf- Her 
 cousins, Lady Margaret Douglas and Lady Frances 
 Dorset, also send presents. In return Mary sends 
 to her brother " a Boke lymmed with gold J." In 
 the same month of January she removes from 
 Hampton Court to Westminster^, where she remains 
 for some months. On Maundy Thursday she re- 
 ceives the Sacrament, as usual, and offers Ss. 9d. to 
 the Dean of the King's Chapel ||. In April her 
 health is aifected, and she is let blood by Dr. Ni- 
 cholas, the King's Physician^. In June the Prin- 
 cess crosses the Thames to Lambeth **, and shortly 
 after makes a present to the clerk of the church at 
 Bedington. Hence she proceeds to visit the Lady 
 Anne of Cleves, at Richmond tt> t)ut her stay was 
 but short, for towards the close of the month we 
 find her at Greenwich JJ, where the sum of \\s. is 
 paid for articles purchased for her breakfast, and

 the King sends her a present of artichokes, then a 
 rare and fashionable vegetable. About the 2Gth of

 ness t- The following month she again loses blood 
 at Greenwich, and 10*. at the same time are paid

 Soon after this the Princess moves to Oatland 
 Park§, and thence to Guildford 1| and Windsor^. 
 In August she goes to Hanworth, and in the course 
 of the same month visits the Manor of More, in 
 Hertfordshire**. The bill of her Apothecary, paid 
 this month, amounts to 555. 4cl Whilst at the 
 More she receives a message from the Queen ff 
 [Catharine Parr], probably an invitation, for the 
 next place we find the Princess at is Ampthill, in 
 Bedfordshire, where the King and Queen then 
 were J J, and to which she is attended by the ser- 
 vants of the Lord Privy Seal §§. On her way thither 
 rewards are given to the King's Household at Dun- 
 stable ||||. From Ampthill she proceeds by Grafton 
 to Woodstock, where she arrives by the 17th Sep-

 week in November || to Dunstable, and the Princess

 and Missenden, whence she is conveyed in a litter 
 to Bisham, in Berkshire, and for this purpose a

 Jewelry not specified, and to Prince Edward a

 for the Queen, for John Hayes is paid 7s. for draw- 
 ing a pattern for that purpose §. In consequence of 
 the King keeping Christmas at Hampton Court, 
 the Princess has her "stuff" sent by water from 
 London, the cost of which comes to 5s. 8d. \\ This 
 month, also, she stood godmother to a daughter of 
 Lord Wriothesley, whose creation took place on 
 New Year's day^. 
 
 There is no material entry in the account for 
 February, but from another source we learn she 
 attended the Queen at Westminster, on the 17th of 
 this month, to give audience to the Duke of Najera, 
 a Spanish grandee, who had paid a visit to the 
 Ena-lish Court on his return homewards from the 
 Emperor's army**. The account of this interview, 
 as narrated by the Duke's Secretary, is very flatter-

 ing to the Princess, both in regard to her personal 
 appearance and mental endowments. One trait 
 of her frank behaviour may be noticed. On the 
 Duke's taking leave, he kissed the Queen's hand, 
 and on requesting the same favour of the Princess, 
 she would by no means permit it, but, of her own 
 accord, offered her lips to him. But it should be 
 remembered, that to salute a lady was, at that 
 period, a simple mark of courtesy, universally al- 
 lowed, as remarked by Erasmus and others. 
 
 During the months of March, April, and May 
 the Princess resided either at Greenwich or West- 
 minster, and in June removes, with her women, to 
 Hampton Court*, where the Prince then wasf. 
 Not long after she receives a present of Spanish 
 silk from the Lady Anne of Cleves J. In August 
 she goes to Richmond and back again §, probably 
 to visit the Lady Anne ; and in the same month the 
 King, and the Lady Elizabeth, join her at Hampton 
 Court ||. At this period we meet with an entry in 
 the Kings Household Books of a payment of 10/. 
 to Christopher Velassois, for " bringing tres out of 
 Spaine to the Lady Mary^." And in her own 
 Expenses is noticed, in September, a present of 
 gloves, sent to her from a Duchess in Spain**; 
 perhaps the Duchess of Najera, in return for her 
 condescension to the Duke.

 In the Parliament summoned in the spring of 
 the year 1544-5 it was at length judged necessary 
 to pass a third Act of Succession, by which, in case 
 of Prince Edward's death without issue, the Crown 
 was limited to the Lady Mary, " the Kinges High- 
 nes daughter," and heirs of her body lawfully 
 begotten, and after them, in like manner, to the 
 Lady Elizabeth ; thus restoring both of them in 
 blood, without any formal recognition being made 
 of legitimacy. This tardy act of justice to Mary 
 was caused chiefly through the intervention of the 
 Emperor, and the necessity felt by Henry of culti-

 vating his friendship against the French King. We 
 find, also, in the despatches to the Ambassador 
 at the Imperial Court, a marriage again talked of 
 between the Princess and the Emperor, and also 
 between the Lady Elizabeth and the Prince of 
 Spain*. But these were mere political sugges- 
 tions, written to serve the purposes of the Minister. 
 During the remaining period of Henry's mortal 
 existence, the war undertaken against France seems 
 to have occupied his mind too completely to admit 
 of any other consideration, and the Lady Mary is 
 almost wholly forgotten. It is evident, however, 
 she never again forfeited her father's favour, but, 
 on the contrary, by her prudent conduct, rose higher 
 in his estimation, for in July, 1546, six months 
 before the King's death, he m^ade her an unusually 
 large present of jewels, which are enumerated in 
 the present volume f. One more event only re- 
 mains to be noticed in this reign, in which the 
 Princess Mary is associated with the political mea- 
 sures of the Crown, viz. the visits of Duke Philip of 
 Bavaria, in March and September, 1546, to England, 
 to negotiate a treaty between the King and his 
 Uncle, the Elector, and also to set on foot once more 
 the marriage projected some years previously be- 
 tween himself and the Princess. Several confe- 
 rences took place on the subject, but the particulars

 are not stated, and the whole appears only a repe- 
 tition of the false and hollow system of policy so 
 often practised by the English Court*. 
 
 Henry the Eighth expired on 23d January, 
 1546-7, and by his will, dated 30th December, 
 1546, he confirmed the succession as settled by the 
 previous Act, and left to Mary and Elizabeth the 
 sum of 10,000/. each, towards their marriage (pro- 
 vided they married with the consent of the Council), 
 or a larger sum, as to his Executors should seem 
 convenient, in money, plate, jewels, or household 
 stuff. And whilst they continued unmarried, the 
 yearly income of 3000/., ultra reprisas, was allotted 
 to eaclit- This forms the last act of Henry's life 
 with which the Princess Mary was in any way con- 
 nected, and by his death she w^as released from the 
 fear of giving offence to one who had enforced 
 obedience by his severity, but never could have 
 been entitled either to her respect or affection. He 
 was, in fact, a complete Mormo to his subjects as 
 well as to his family ; and it would seem, from the 
 term " Old Harry '' applied in later times to the 
 Author of Evil, that the recollection of the King's 
 violence and arbitrary proceedings had survived all 
 traces of any good qualities he might have pos- 
 sessed.

 It is obvious, that the nearer the Princess Mary 
 approached to the throne the more she would at- 
 tract the notice of historians, and, in consequence, 
 we find her conduct during her brother's reign de- 
 tailed with sufficient accuracy to preclude any 
 attempt here to give more than a very brief review 
 of it. The strength of mind, sincere, yet mis- 
 directed piety, and deeply-rooted principles of the 
 Princess, which had enabled her, when she had 
 scarcely attained the age of womanhood, to resist 
 the menaces of a tyrant father and his myrmi- 
 dons, ought to have convinced the counsellors of 
 the new Monarch how vain would be the attempt 
 to force her conscience, or, by the whining of a boy 
 and the mandates of an upstart Nobleman, to sub- 
 due the spirit which had for so many years learned 
 how to endure oppression. 
 
 At the commencement of Edward the Sixth s 
 reign, before his mind was warped by the Pro- 
 tector's influence, his behaviour towards his sister 
 seems to have been generous and affectionate, the 
 result of the intercourse previously kept up between 
 them*. A list of the articles contributed from the 
 
 * Nothing can be more affectionate and flattering than the language 
 of his letters to her. In one, dated from Hunsdon, 8lh May, 1546, 
 he writes to congratulate her on her recovery from recent indisposition, 
 and says, " Amo te sicut/rater debet amare charissimam sororem, quce 
 habet omnia ornmnenta virtutis et honestatis i?i se ;'" and in another, 
 dated the 'ZOth of the same month, he writes, " Valetudo tua hetijicat 
 me, quia amo te, et cegritudo tua facit m.e trisiem eodem nomine.'

 Royal Wardrobe towards the furnishing of her 
 house is still extant*, as well as to the Lady Eliza- 
 beth ; and it is a little singular to remark, in re- 
 ference to those writers who are pleased to contrast 
 what they call Mary's " sullen solemnity " to the 
 studied demeanour and affected magniloquence of 
 Elizabeth, that in the choice of tapestry and hang- 
 ings, all the pieces appropriated to the former con- 
 tain subjects of a gay and allegorical description, 
 whilst in those given to Elizabeth the patterns are 
 of a sombre, religious hue, and the '' Passion" and 
 " Assumption of our Lady" are among the most 
 conspicuous ! Had the reverse proved the case, 
 what satisfaction it would have afforded such a 
 superficial writer as Walpole to quote it as another 
 proof of Mary's bigotry ! 
 
 On the accession of Edward, the Princess seems 
 to have resided at the Manor of New-Hall f, alias 
 Beaulieu, in Essex, which she quitted in December,

 mas liolidays with him and the Lady Elizabeth*. 
 This is the only instance recorded of her joining in 
 the Court festivities, and she seems, both on ac- 
 count of her ill health and her dislike to the mea- 
 sures adopted by the King's advisers, to have 
 studiously sought the retirement of one of her own 
 houses. Her chief residences were New-Hall in 
 Essex, Kenning-Hall in Norfolk, and Hunsdon in 
 Hertfordshire ; to which she was attached from her 
 having passed much of the earlier part of her life 
 in them. These manors, together with various 
 other lands, amounting to the yearly value of 
 3489/. ISs. 6id., with a reserved rent of 
 99/. 185. G^cl, were settled on her, in pursuance 
 of her father's will, in the second year of her 
 brother's reignf ; and in 1553 an additional grant 
 was made to her of the Castle and Manor of Hert- 
 ford, and other estates, amounting to 91/. 2^. 3|d.

 Had it not been for the persecuting zeal of

 it is from their own words, as exhibited in the 
 Journal of the young Monarch and the Privy 
 Council Books, we are enabled to form a judgment 
 of the harshness of their proceedings, and the spi- 
 rited resistance of Mary. She had taken an early 
 opportunity of expressing to the Protector her sen- 
 timents on the innovations proposed by him, and 
 his reply could not have tended to remove her 
 disquietude on the subject of toleration*. Shortly 
 after this, the Statute of Uniformity afforded an 
 opportunity of putting Mary's constancy to the test, 
 and she received an admonition from the Council 
 to conform, which she refused to do, and appealed 
 to the Emperor's protection f. At the same period 
 a negotiation was carrying on with the Emperor 
 for a marriage between the Princess and Don Louis 
 of Portugal, who had once before (in 1538) been 
 proposed to her. Her acquiescence had been pre- 
 viously obtained (no doubt much influenced by the 
 fear she must have felt of her religious scruples 
 being violated), and Sir William Paget, the Comp- 
 troller, was sent to Germany, with powers to open 
 the treaty. The details are preserved in his letter 
 to the Council J, and are nearly similar to those in

 preceding overtures of the same nature. The 
 Council, however, ordered the matter not to be 
 pressed, and the project was soon after abandoned, 
 but not finally, for in November Sir Thomas Chey- 
 ney was despatched with fresh instructions to the 
 Emperor, and in April of the following year, on the 
 occasion of an offer received from Albert, Marquis 
 of Brandenburgh, for the hand of the Princess, 
 reply was made, that " ther was talk for her mariag 
 w' thenfant of Portungal, wich being determined, 
 he shuld haue answere*." But nothing more oc- 
 curs in reference to either. 
 
 By the Emperor's intercession Mary had hitherto 
 been permitted the exercise of her religion, yet this 
 was granted more from the fear of provoking hos- 
 tilities than with any liberal view of concession to 
 her form of worship. About July, 1550, serious 
 apprehensions seem to have been entertained of her 
 leaving the Kingdom, and under this impression 
 the coasts were guarded by a naval and military 
 force. A strange shortsightedness ! for had the 
 policy of Warwick permitted her to leave England, 
 in all probability the Dudleys would have usurped 
 
 the course of Paget's conference with Granvel, the Imperial Minister, 
 he says, " I promise you that the Lady Mary is, as I suppose you 
 know well enough, in beauty, virtue, and honest qualities, nothing 
 inferior to that worthiness ye report this gentleman, Don Louis of 
 Portugal, to be of."— See MS. Cott. Galb. B. xii.

 the throne of the Tudors without opposition. Mes- 
 sages were sent to her to come to Oking, or to the 
 Court at Windsor. She declined to comply, but 
 consented to go to the Chancellor's, and thence to 
 Hunsdon, but this was prevented by the Chancel- 
 lor's illness, and she remained at New-Hall. The 
 Council then turned their anger on her Household, 
 and in December orders were issued to arrest her 
 Chaplains for saying Mass*. This proceeding 
 roused the spirit of the Princess, and in the follow- 
 ing March she came to the King at Westminster, 
 attended by a number of noblemen and ladies f, 
 where she held, with Edward and his Council, a 
 conference of two hours duration. The simple 
 narrative of Edward will best describe what passed : 
 "March 18. The L. Mary, my sister, came to me 
 to whestmuster, wheare, after salutacions, she was 
 called w* my counsel into a chambre, where was

 day earlier than Edward's Journal : " The xvij day [of March] the

 declared how long i had suflered her masse against 
 my will*, in hope of her reconciliation, and how 
 now being no hope, which i perceiued by her lettres, 
 except i saw some short amendement, i could not 
 beare it. She answerid, that her soul was god ['s] 
 and her faith she wold not chaung, nor dissemble 
 hir opinion w* contrary doingesf." This determi- 
 nation was seconded by the Emperor's Ambassador, 
 who, the next day, brought a message of war, in 
 case she were molested. Such a declaration puzzled 
 the Council ; and Cranmer, with the Bishops of 
 London and Rochester, advised the King to icink at 
 the use of the Mass for a while, at which he 
 cried J ! The correspondence which ensued between 
 Mary and the Ministers is in Fox §, and terminated 
 in a resolution on the part of the latter to abolish 
 the service privately used in her house. Accord- 
 ingly, in August, the three principal officers of her 
 Household were summoned to the Council, and 
 ordered to execute the commission. But the office 
 was of so ungracious a nature, that after one ineffec- 
 tual visit to the Princess they declined it altogether, 
 and offered to submit to any punishment rather than

 undertake " what they could not find in their hearts 
 or consciences to perform." They were, on this, 
 committed to the Tower, and the Lord Chancellor, 
 the Comptroller, and the Secretary, took upon them- 
 selves the management of the business. On August 
 the 28th they proceeded for this purpose to Copt- 
 Hall, in Essex, where Mary then lay, and a faithful 
 narrative of their interview is entered in the Council 
 Book*. The Princess received them with great 
 dignity and command of temper, but declared that 
 " rather than use any other service than that used 
 at the death of her father, she would lay her head 
 on the block t." This tone of decision, the danger 
 of coming to an open rupture with the Emperor, 
 and, above all, the declining health of the King, 
 seem to have had due weight with the Council ; 
 and, as Lingard remarks, it is probable Mary con- 
 tinued to hear Mass, but in greater privacy, and 
 that the Council deemed it prudent to connive at 
 what it soon became dangerous to notice. Amity 
 having been thus, in some measure, restored be- 
 tween Edward and his sister, the latter (who was 
 most aifectionately disposed towards him, as ap- 
 pears by her letters) twice came to visit him pre-

 vious to his decease, the first time at Greenwich, in 
 June*, 1552, just before the King's progress, and 
 the second at Westminster, in January t, 1552-3. 
 On the latter occasion she was accompanied by a 
 great number of lords, knights, and ladies, who 
 now, says Strype, looked upon her "as the rising- 
 sun." Amono- them were the Duchesses of Suffolk 
 and Northumberland, the Marchionesses of North- 
 ampton and Winchester, the Countesses of Bedford, 
 Shrewsbury, and Arundel, with their respective 
 Lords. Notwithstanding these evident marks of 
 subservience from the courtiers, she again withdrew 
 to her retirement at New-Hall, whence, on the 16th 
 May, she addressed an aifectionate letter to the 
 King, expressive of her joy at his getting better:}:; 
 and this was the last act of friendly intercourse 
 which passed between Mary and her brother, whose 
 illness was slowly approaching to a fatal termina- 
 tion. 
 
 The King expired on the Gth July, 1553, and by 
 the advice of those around him excluded the Prin- 
 cess Mary from the succession, merely leaving to 
 each of his sisters annuities of 1000/. each, and 
 10,000/. in addition to the portions devised by 
 Henry VHL, in case they married with the consent 
 of the Council^. ''This nefarious combination,"

 as it is justly termed by Turner, of the Sovereign 
 and heads of the Aristocracy *, to shut out the right- 
 ful heir from the throne, met with the fate all such 
 plots deserve, and was atoned for by the death of 
 the principal conspirators. It is needless here to 
 repeat the oft told tale. Mary was at Hunsdon 
 when the news arrived of her brother's death, and 
 the usurpation of her royal title, and having taken 
 proper measures for her defence she was soon joined 
 by a force amounting to 30,000 men, who were 
 so devoted to her cause that they refused to receive 
 pay, but served through the sole motive of loyaltyf. 
 A few days sufficed to seat her firmly on the dis- 
 puted throne, and on the 3d of August (having been 
 publicly proclaimed on the 19th July) she made 
 her entry into London as Queen, accompanied by 
 a splendid train of ladies and gentlemen, and above 
 10,000 horsemen, and bearing with her the sympa- 
 thies of the entire population ;]:. And thus, by a

 been made by the King, between Lord Guildford Dudley and the Earl

CXVl INTRODUCTORY MEMOIR, 
 
 With the accession of Mary to the throne these 
 memoranda may close, so far as they relate to the 
 more public features of her life. Her short and 
 inauspicious reign has been elsewhere sufficiently 
 canvassed, but — it is only justice to add — ^by her 
 enemies rather than by her friends. One of the 
 least partial of our historians* has fairly remarked, 
 that had Mary lived half a century earlier, or as 
 much later, she would • have obtained a reputation 
 inferior to few of her predecessors. But her un- 
 shaken attachment to her mother's faith, and the 
 unfortunate circumstances in which she was placed 
 on assuming the sceptre, to rule over a people 
 then convulsed by a revolution so momentous as 
 the abolition of their religious creed, added to 
 the false principles of intolerance urged by her 
 Councillors, — all conspired to cause her failure, 
 and to throw a shadow over her reign no ar- 
 gument could probably have power to remove. 
 Yet, if we regard with an unprejudiced eye the 
 transactions of that period, there will be found 
 much to praise and admire. The salutary and 
 popular laws passed under her government, the

 reformation of many abuses introduced during- tlie 
 preceding reign — the remission of the subsidy 
 granted by parliament — the restoration of tlie de- 
 based currency, and the attention paid to the in- 
 crease of commercial interests, not to mention the 
 encouragement of the universities and of literature, 
 and the restoration of the church property to the 
 amount of 60,000/., are all proofs of the upright- 
 ness and sincerity of the Queen's intentions. Her 
 noble speech to the Lord Chief Justice of the 
 Common Pleas — " You are to sit there, not as ad- 
 vocates for me, but as indifferent judges between 
 me and my people*,"— and the disinterested gene- 
 rosity with which she threw into the fire a scheme 
 presented to her by the Imperial Ambassador for 
 despotic power 'j", ought alone to entitle her to some 
 respect, and would have been lauded to the skies 
 had Elizabeth spoken or acted thus. Mary has 
 ever been judged too harshly, simply from the 
 universal prevalence of religious prejudice, which 
 gives way last of all to dispassionate judgment. 
 
 But before this imperfect memoir is concluded, 
 it may not be improper to collect such passages as 
 have occurred in the course of our researches, which 
 serve to illustrate the natural acquirements of the 
 Princess, her studies, amusements, feminine virtues,

 To the great care and diligence used by Cathe- 
 rine of Arragon in the education of her daughter, 
 has been fairly ascribed much of the proficiency 
 made by Mary in various branches of learning; 
 and to the same cause may be assigned that ap- 
 proach to austerity in her religious duties which 
 so strongly characterized the Queen*. Yet it will 
 scarcely be denied, that considerable natural talent 
 must have co-operated to render the instructions 
 received from her mother or preceptors of any avail. 
 The appointment of Lady Margaret Bryan as go- 
 verness to the Princess in her infancy has already 
 been noticed, but not the less on this account did 
 Mary continue several years under the immediate 
 care of the Queen, whose attention to her daughter's 
 studies did not cease till they were separated by 
 death. This early period of Mary's life, and the 
 subsequent measures adopted to imbue her youth- 
 ful mind with those seeds of knowledge then con- 
 sidered requisite in the education of a female of 
 rank, are thus rudely but faithfully traced by the 
 hand of one who was well acquainted with both

 numbered among' her preceptors the illustrious 
 names of Lynacre and Vives. This is undoubtedly 
 correct in one sense, since they both wrote elemen-

 evidence has occurred of either of them having 
 been by warrant, or otherwise, appointed her " pre-

 age, drew up a treatise on female education*, vvhicli 
 he dedicated to Queen Catherine of Arragon, in 
 an address dated at Bruges, oth April, 1523. In 
 it he says, — " Legit hrec monita mea Maria filia 
 tua, et effinget ea, dum se ad domesticum exemplum 
 componit probitatis et sapientise tuae, effinget certe, 
 et nisi humanas omnes conjecturas sola fallat, optima 
 et sanctissima ut sit, necesse est." The work is 
 curious, as affording a complete view of the mode 
 of instruction pursued with j^oung Vv'omen of the 
 higher class^ and forms a singular contrast to the 
 modern plan of female education. The names of 
 the learned dauohters of Sir Thomas More are cited 
 by him with exultation, and pointed out as models 
 worthy of imitation. The books recommended to 
 be given to the pupil are such as will tend to im- 
 prove their morals, and all such " libri pestiferi " as 
 romances and poetry are to be rigorously avoided. 
 Among them are enumerated, the Spanish Amadis 
 de Gaul, Florisand, Tirante the White, Tristan of

 mended for perusal the Gospels, Acts of Apostles, 
 and Epistles, portions of the Old Testament, Cy- 
 prian, Jerome, Augustine, and other Fathers, Boe- 
 thius, Plato, Cicero, Seneca, and such like, to be 
 chosen by the judgment of a grave and discreet 
 preceptor. We may conceive what would be the 
 feelings of a Princess of the blood-royal at the pre- 
 sent day, if set down to the lecture of such awful 
 tomes, yet it was undoubtedly in the study of these, 
 and similar works, that the Lady Mary was exer- 
 cised when young. The proofs, indeed, of her par- 
 tiality for this grave and sententious reading, thus 
 early implanted, everywhere present themselves 
 throughout the whole of her life, and to such a 
 moral code of discipline did she conform in her 
 general manners and demeanour. But she certainly 
 did not adhere strictly to all the precepts of Vives, 
 for, amongst other recreations prohibited by him, 
 are cards and dice, ornaments of the person, danc- 
 ing, &c., some of which Mary appears to have been 
 fond of, and often innocently indulged herself in. 
 
 Shortly after the compilation of this work Vives 
 came over to England*, probably at the invitation

 of Wolsey, wlio procured his appointment as public 
 lecturer at Oxford, where he was heard by the 
 King- and Queen, in the summer of the same year. 
 In October, at the request of the Queen, he wrote, 
 for the use of the Princess, another system of in- 
 struction*, to be adopted by her preceptor, which 
 was dedicated to Catherine, from Oxford, 7th Oct. 
 15*23. He says of it: " Et quoniam Institutorem 
 illi [the Princess] doctum imprimis hominem ac pro- 
 hum (ut par erat) deleg'isti, res velut digito indicasse 
 fui contentus ; ille reliqua explicabit." On the 
 supposition that Lynacre was then Mary's precep- 
 tor, of course he must be the person here alluded 
 to ; but it may reasonably be doubted whether Vives 
 (however learned) would have been desired or 
 willing- to undertake the dictation of a form of in- 
 struction to one whose fame in England stood as 
 high, and spread as widely, as that of Vives on the 
 continent. 
 
 The system proposed by Vives is good but ar- 
 duous, and, considering the sex, rank, and age of 
 the pupil, more calculated to repel than attract. 
 He gives rules for the pronunciation of Greek and 
 Latin, and advises that something should be learnt 
 every day mefiioriter, and read over two or three 
 times before the scholar went to bed. Translations 
 from Eno'lish to Latin are then recommended, and 
 the acquisition "by heart'' of the distichs of Cato,

 the sentences of Publius Syrus, and tlie sayings of the 
 seven sages of Greece ; all published by Erasmus. 
 Certain narratives or stories are permitted to be 
 read for the sake of amusement, but which contri- 
 bute also to the knowledge of what is virtuous, 
 such as those of Joseph in the Scriptures, of Papy- 
 rius in Aulus Gellius, of Lucretia in Livy, and of 
 " Gresilida vulgata jam fabula." A Latin and 
 English Dictionary (either Calepin or Perotti) is 
 also to be used, but the pupil is forbidden to learn 
 the naughty words in them. Conversations in 
 Latin with the preceptor are advised, and two or 
 three school-fellows or companions suggested for 
 the sake of emulation. The volumes named for 
 the pupil's studies are Cicero, Seneca, Plutarch, 
 some Dialogues of Plato, particularly those of a 
 political turn, Jerome's Epistles, part of Ambrose 
 and Augustine, the Enchiridion, Institutio Principis, 
 Paraphrases, and other writings of Erasmus, and 
 the Utopia of Sir Thomas More. A portion of the 
 New Testament to be read morning and evening ; 
 and of the Christian poets, Prudentius, Sydonius, 
 Paulinus, Arator, Prosper, and Juvencus, are par- 
 ticularized ; and of classic authors, Lucan, the 
 tragedian Seneca, and great part of Horace. 
 
 From these details (which we have extracted at 
 the hazard of being thought tedious) may be formed 
 some notion of the manner in which the mind of 
 the young Princess was modelled, and taught to 
 bend itself to studies of so grave a description ; nor

 can we be surprised, after this, to find Mary en- 
 gaged in the translation of Aquinas or Erasmus. 
 
 Vives returned to the continent in April, 1524, 
 for the purpose of marriage*, but under a promise 
 to return in September. This promise he per- 
 formed, for we find him again in London in Novem- 
 ber, when he presented his book on Free-Will to 
 the King and Queen, which was wonderfully ad- 
 mired by bothf. No farther evidence of this great 
 man's share in the education of the Princess ap- 
 pears on record ; and although he appears to have 
 subsequently paid one if not more visits to England, 
 yet, in 1527, he finally settled at Bruges, where he 
 remained till his death >n 1536. 
 
 Doctor Thomas Lvnacre, the second individual 
 noticed as participating in the honour of being pre- 
 ceptor to the Lady Mary, was one of the restorers 
 of learning in Europe, and the chief founder and 
 first President of the College of Physicians. His 
 skill in the art of healing caused his appointment 
 as Physician to the Kings Henry VII. and VIII., 
 and in that capacity he attended also on the Prin- 
 cess Mary. This we learn from his Dedication to 
 her prefixed to the Latin Grammar;}: written by him 
 
 "^ Letter to Erasmus, ICth June, 1524, " tantum ad ducendura 
 uxorem." And afterwards he writes, " Feriis Eucharistiae subjeci

 for her use, in which he speaks of such an appoint- 
 ment*, and mentions, that having been prevented by 
 illness from waiting on her, he had composed this 
 work for her instruction. Of her abilities and love 
 of learning, he writes in terms of the utmost praise : 
 " Itaque cernens in te, prct;ter indohm quandam ad 
 omne virtutwn genus, qiice eminere in muliere possunt, 
 incredibilem, nunc quoque felicissimi ingenii tui ad 
 studia literarum generosum impetum,'' he felt desi- 
 rous to contribute towards the nurture of such a 
 noble disposition, and augurs highly of her future 
 excellence, both as an ornament and patron of lite- 
 rature. In some panegyrical verses also inserted in 
 the work, by William Lilly, she is spoken of as — 
 
 " Virgo, qua nulla est indole fertilior." 
 
 No additional proof has been met with of Ly- 
 nacre's havino- interested himself in the education 
 of the Princess, and his death, which took place 
 the same year [1524], deprived her of any advan- 
 tao-e she mio-ht afterwards have derived from his 
 precepts. She had then not attained her ninth 
 year, and if the difficulty of acquiring the Latin 
 tongue by means of a task-book like Lynacre's

 famous Buchanan into Latin, and printed at Paris, ap. R. Stephens, 
 1533.

 Riidimenta be considered, it will justify all the 
 praises given to Mary's youthful genius. 
 
 In 1525, when the Council was formed for the 
 Princess to reside in W ales, we find Mr. Fether- 
 stone* appointed her tutor (who may possibly have 
 held that situation for some years previous), and 
 the Countess of Salisbury, governess. The in- 
 structions then given relative to her studies, «Scc. 
 have been already cited f, and prove that no pains 
 Wjsre spared in contributing towards her improve- 
 ment. The French and Latin languages are men- 
 tioned as forming part of her education, and the 
 lio^hter exercises of dancing- and music. It is at 
 the same time judiciously ordered (evidently by the 
 vigilance of her mother, from whom, indeed, the 
 whole article originated), that none of these should 
 be carried to excess, so as to render them fatiguing 
 or injurious to the Princess's health. 
 
 Her proficiency, if we may believe contemporary 
 writers, must have been very extraordinary, since, 
 at the early age of eleven years, she translated into 
 English a prayer of Thomas Aquinas, which was 
 unknown to Walpole, Ballard, or Park. To this 
 proof of Mary's juvenile attainments most lionour-

 burnt 30th July, 1540, together with Abel and Powel, two other of 
 Queen Catherine's Chaplains, for writing against the divorce, and re- 
 fusing to acknowledge the King's supremacy. See Burnet's Hist.

 able testimony is given by the Lord Morley, who 
 was himself a scholar and translator of celebrity. 
 He thus refers to it in the Preface to one of his 
 works*, presented as a New Year's gift to the 
 Princess. " I do well remember, that skante ye 
 were cum to xij yeres of age, but that ye were 
 so rype in the laten tonge, that rathe dothe happen 
 to the women sex, that youer grace not only coulde 
 perfectly rede, wright, and constrewe laten, but

 in to ouer Inglysshe tonge, and emonge all other

 A copy of this identical prayer, so translated, is

 rendered singularly valuable from tlie autog-raphs 
 it contains, and as an inedited specimen of a child's 
 performance, not inferior to any composition made 
 at tlie same age either of ancient or modern times ; 
 it is printed at length in the Appendix to the pre- 
 sent Memoir *. It is surely not too much to say, 
 that the strain of piety breathed in this prayer 
 would be acceptable either to Catholic or Pro- 
 testant, and might serve to soften the harshness 
 with which Mary's memory has been treated by 
 the Reformers. 
 
 At the period of Henry's divorce, and the con- 
 sequent separation of the Lady Mary from her 
 mother, the anxiety felt by the latter for the im- 
 provement of her daughter is evinced by the letter 
 she wrote to her, in which she says, " As for your 
 writing in lattine, I am glad that ye shalt chaunge 
 frome me to Maister Federstoi?, for that shalt doo 
 you moche good, to lerne by hyifl to write rigRt, 
 but yet some tyme I wold be glad when! ye doo

 both are remarkable for a plain unaffected manner, 
 and in sentiments betray only the feelings of a kind 
 and affectionate heart. In this respect they differ 
 much from the absurd and inflated mode of writing 
 adopted by Elizabeth, whose whole study seems to 
 have been to invent artificial forms of expression, 
 which not un frequently border on the ridiculous. 
 Mary's penmanship, indeed, is inferior in beauty 
 to the flowing Italian hand of her successor, but 
 superior in uniformity and clearness. 
 
 The Princess's usual mode of dividing her time 
 at this period, when twenty years of age, was to 
 appropriate a certain portion of it to the reading of 
 the Scriptures, another to the study of foreign lan- 
 guages, composition, or various branches of science 
 and natural philosophy, and a third to the lighter 
 employment of working, or playing on the lute or 
 virginals. These various occupations are thus 
 pointed out in the account given of her by a French 
 gentleman then living in England, in 1536, An- 
 thoine Crispin, Lord of Miherve'

 Burnet says of her, not by way of praise, " She 
 was naturally pious and devout, even to supersti- 
 tion," but such a remark might be spoken in the 
 same tone of any zealous Catholic or Protestant of 
 the present day. To make a practice of reading the 
 Scriptures ought, in the eyes of the Bishop, to have 
 been reckoned neither bigotry nor superstition ; and 
 it is mentioned by Lord Morley, a layman, in terms of 
 admiration, that she was accustomed to read over 
 every day with her Chaplain the daily service*. So 
 differently do men judge of what is superstition and 
 what is not ! Mary, in truth, felt most conscien- 
 tiously that the first duty required from man is to 
 worship his Creator, and if she has been censured 
 or sneered at for her piety, it must be ascribed 
 to the wickedness or weakness of her calumniators. 
 The same nobleman, in the Dedication of another 
 workf to her, thus gives expression to his senti- 
 ments on the changes then taking place, " O noble 
 and vertuouse kynges doughter ! How is it that 
 men in oure tyme are so blynded ! I can thynke 
 noone other but that the ende of the worlde hasty the

 apasse !" He calls her " the secunde Mary of this 
 wourlde in vertiie, grace, and goodenes," and be- 
 seeches her " to helpe to supple, wher I have by 
 any meanes erryde in the translacori, my faultes." 
 
 Mary's acquirements as a linguist were, indeed, 
 very respectable. She was acquainted with Greek* 
 and Latin, and wrote in the latter, even when 
 young, with no inconsiderable degree of elegance f. 
 She also wrote and conversed in Spanish and 
 French, and understood Italian, but not so well as 
 the rest. Michele, the Venetian Ambassador, de- 
 scribing her mental accomplishments in 1557, speaks 
 as follows : " Whatever she may lose in regard to 
 personal beauty is amply compensated for, with- 
 out flattery, by those of her mind, since, bej^ond a 
 natural quickness and capability of mind to acquire 
 anything in common with others, even of the male 
 sex, she is mistress of five languages (a thing which 
 seems marvellous in a woman), and not merely 
 understands but fluently converses in four of them. 
 These are, besides the English, her native tongue, 
 the Latin, French, Spanish, and Italian ; but in the 
 latter she does not venture to speak, although she 
 
 * In addition to the testimony of Crispin, Lord of Miherve, on this 
 point, may be cited the panegyric pronounced in the funeral Oration 
 delivered at Rome by Antonio Guidi, who says of her, " Literis vero

 artium cognitionem haberet." 4to. ex Offic. Salv., 1559.

 understands it. In the Latin she astonishes every 
 one with her replies and conversation*." Hence 
 Mary might justly deserve the encomium of Lelandf, 
 as one 
 
 "bonus colit quae 
 
 Multum pectore litteras benigna." 
 
 And in another place he addresses her in a still 
 
 more flattering strain : 
 
 " Quicquid habeut Charites niveae, Leneia proles, 
 Musarum quicquid Candida turba novem, 
 Quicquid habet Pithu, quicquid facunda Minerva, 
 Denique virtutis foemina quicquid habet,

 in una donna parra miracoloso, e instrutta di cinque Unique, le quali 
 non solamente intende, ma quattro di esse parla speditamente. Sono 
 queste, oltre la sua maternaet naturale Inglese, la Latina.la Francese, 
 la Spagnuola, et la Italiana; ma in questa, non ardisce parlare ancor- 
 che la intenda. Nella Latina farebbe stupire ognuno con le rispose 
 che da, e co i propositi che tiene." — MS. Lansd. 840, A., f. 156. 
 This is the true and authentic copy of Michele's narrative. The copy 
 in the Cotton MS. Nero, B. vii., from which Mr. Ellis translates, 
 is very much abridged, and often falsifies the text. The Editor begs 
 to observe, that in translating this and oiher passages of Michele, lest 
 he might be accused of giving an unfaithful version, he has had re- 
 course to his friend Mr. Panizzi, of the British Museum, (whose 
 learned edition of Boiardo is sufficiently known to the world,) to whose 
 kindness he is indebted for some corrections.

 It is most probable that during the interval of 
 the Princess's seclusion from the Court she applied 
 herself more diligently to the studies she was fond 
 of*. And no less from her acquaintance with 
 the writing's of Erasmus than her love for sacred 
 literature, she was induced to undertake, some 
 years after, at the request of Queen Catherine Parr, 
 a translation of the Paraphrase on St. John's Gospel 
 into English. But her constant enemy, the perio- 
 dical illness which had afflicted her from the time 
 she ceased to be a child, prevented her completing 
 the task, and it was relinquished, when nearly 
 finished, to the hands of her Chaplain, Dr. Mallet. 
 " Certain it is," says Strype, " she took a great deal 
 of pains in it, and went through a good part of 
 itf." There is yet extant a letter from the Queen 
 to Mary on the subject, in which, after inquiries 
 about her health, she mentions the fact of Mallet's 
 having given tlie finishing stroke, " summa manus," 
 to the Paraphrase, and nothing remained but to 
 
 * The Secretary of the Duke de Najera, a Spanish Grandee, who 
 visited the Enghsh court in February, 1543-4, contributes his testi- 
 mony to those already quoted. He writes in his Narrative thus, " It 
 is said of her, that she is endowed with very great goodness and dis- 
 cretion, and among other praises I heard of her is this, that she knows 
 how to conceal her acquirements, and certainly this is no small proof 
 of prudence." He adds, " This Princess is so much beloved through- 
 out the kingdom, that she is almost adored." — See Archaeologia, vol.

 revise it. She then adds, " I beseech you to send 
 me this beautiful and useful work, when corrected, 
 by Mallet or some other of your household, and at 
 the same time let me know whether it shall be pub- 
 lished under the auspices of your own name or 
 anonymously. In my own opinion, you will not 
 do justice to a work in which you have taken such 
 infinite pains for the service of the public, (and 
 would have still continued to do so, as is well 
 know^n, had your health permitted it,) if you refuse 
 to let it descend to posterity under the sanction 
 of your name. For, since everybody is aware 
 what fatigue you have undergone in its accomplish- 
 ment, I do not see why you should refuse the praise 
 that all will deservedly offer you in return*." This 
 letter is a sufficient reply to the pointless sneer of 
 Walpole at Mary's leaving the work incomplete, 
 which some writers have had the bad taste to repeat. 
 Had Elizabeth been the authoress, we should have 
 heard of nothing but her piety, zeal, patience, learn- 
 ing, and ten thousand other virtues, all of which 
 Mary had the modesty to decline ; and the work 
 was ultimately sent forth to the world by Udal, the 
 Master of Eton, who, in his Preface to St. John's 
 Gospel, pays a proper tribute of respect to the 
 share the Princess had in itf. Perhaps the most

 singular circumstance in its history is to find the 
 name of the Princess associated with those of Co- 
 verdale, Okie, Kay, Cox, and others, in the compi- 
 lation of a work decidedly of a Protestant charac- 
 ter, and thus contributing towards the propagation 
 of what was afterwards directed against herself. 
 
 Besides these proofs of Mary's learning*, Strype 
 has preserved three religious compositions by her, 
 written during the reign of her brother, which may 
 deserve a short notice here. The first is a Prayer 
 " Against the assaults of vices," composed in a 
 spirit of the utmost humility and lowliness of heart, 
 at the conclusion of which was written, "Good 
 Francis [meaning her Chaplain, Dr. Mallet], pray 
 that I may have grace to obtain the petitions con- 
 tained in this prayer before written : your assured 
 
 rare occurrence) runs thus, " And in this behalfe lyke as to your

 phrases of the moste famous clerke and moste godly writer Erasmus

 loving- mistress during my life, Marie*." The 
 second is a "Meditation touching Adversity," made 
 in 1549, addressed to a friend she calls "Cousin 
 Capel;" and third, a "Prayer to be used at the 
 hour of death," which, for its piety and fervour of 
 expression, may vie with any composition ever 
 issued from the Palace of Lambeth. 
 
 Nor was Mary deficient in the graces of elocu- 
 tion, or the power of expressing her sentiments with 
 ease and fluency. Her speeches in public, parti- 
 cularly that on the occasion of Wyat's rebellion, 
 are remarkable for their force of expression and 
 unaffected precision ; whilst her conferences with 
 foreign Ambassadors prove her to have possessed 
 an acute and vigorous mind. This is, also, the 
 united conviction of Lodge, Ellis, and Singer. The 
 former elegant writer admits that all the negative 
 presumptions against her are overthrown by the 
 single narrative of her behaviour on the conference 
 held with the King's Ministers, respecting her claim 
 to the exercise of her faith. Alone and unaided, she 
 contended with three Privy Councillors f, and cer- 
 tainly had the best of the argument. Mary's con- 
 duct at that period, to use the language of the 
 author just referred to, " affords incontrovertible 
 proof that the powers of her mind and understand- 
 ing were of no ordinary class.' And again : " It is

 then ascertained, that Mary possessed prudence, 
 presence of mind, acute feelings, and an undaunted 
 courage, and that she joined to extensive powers 
 of expression, a lofty sense of the dignity of her 
 station." 
 
 Whether the Princess ever attempted to compose 
 anything in verse no positive evidence remains, but 
 from a curious item among some "Remembraunces" 
 of Cromwell, we might be led to suspect she once, 
 at least, indulged her genius in this manner ; and 
 singular to say, that single example was a satyrical

 this effusion survived, it would, doubtless, have

 t Although Elizabeth, when young, was treated with sisterly af- 
 fection by Mary, and a scrupulous regard paid to the rank assigned 
 her, as is apparent from the word grace being several times interlined 
 by Mary herself, in her Book of Expenses, after Elizabeth's name ; 
 and although, when Queen, she treated her with every outward mark 
 of civility, yet it is probable she never really could forget, nor perhaps 
 forgive, the injuries her mother and herself had suffered, on account 
 of Anne Boleyn and her offspring. She might also have recollected 
 that Anne Boleyn was married to Henry at least four months before 
 the sentence of divorce was pronounced by Cranmer, and that Eliza- 
 beth was born within eight months after this marriage, and conse- 
 quently, could hardly have been conceived in wedlock.

 the tragic and epic muse budded forth, and are in 
 themselves proofs that natural genius was not then 
 so cramped and shackled as some writers would 
 persuade us. She is also stated to have bestowed 
 a pension for life on the Spanish poet Vargas, who 
 composed an Epithalamium on her marriage with 
 Philip of Austria*. 
 
 In regard to the lighter accomplishments of 
 music and dancing, Mary equalled, if not excelled, 
 Elizabeth. Of the first, indeed, she appears to 
 have been passionately fond, as intimated in the 
 letter addressed to her from Queen Catharine 
 Parrf. She played on three instruments, the vir- 
 ginals, regals, and lute, and, according to Michele, 
 excelled on the latter to a surprising degree :|;. So 
 early as 1525 we find particular directions given 
 to her Governess, in regard to the Princess's occa- 
 sional practice in both the above accomplishments ; 
 and in the letter of maternal advice sent by her 
 mother after their separation, she is desired some-

 times to use her virginals or lute, " if she had any*." 
 From the Expenses contained in the present volume 
 we learn that this monition was not disregarded, 
 and after Mary's restoration to favour she seems to 
 have sedulously applied to the cultivation of music. 
 Mr. Paston is named as her teacher on the virgi- 
 nals f, and Philip Van Wilder, of the Privy Cham- 
 ber, as instructor on the lute J. She was accus- 
 tomed, it seems, to take these instruments with her 
 wherever she removed, and items often occur of 
 payments to a person coming from London to tune 
 them§. Her dancing is spoken of by Hall, in his 
 description of the pageant at Greenwich in May, 
 1527 ; and again by the Duke of Najera's Secretary, 
 in 1544, when describing his master's audience at 
 Court ||. Even when Queen, she did not relinquish 
 this elegant amusement, but is recorded to have 
 danced with her husband, King Philip, in a Mask, 
 1554^. 
 
 The Princess's other diversions, as incidentally 
 noticed in the Expenses, are such as we might 
 naturally expect in a young person of her rank, and 
 serve to contradict the commonly received opinion

 of her gloominess and morose temper. Slie was 
 fond of riding', and used it not merely as a pastime, 
 but as the best remedy against the disorder she 
 was continually subject to. This appears from her 
 letter to Crumwell, printed by Hearne *. She also 
 often partook of the pleasures of the chase, particu- 
 larly coursing f, and a kennel of hounds was kept 
 for this purpose, as proved by the items of her 
 expenditure. Cards she seems to have indulged 
 in freely, and there is a sum generally allotted as 
 pocket-money for this recreation every month. She 
 was also fond of minstrelsy and public entertain- 
 ments, but not to the extravagant excess of her 
 successor. Rewards to musicians are often noticed 
 in these accounts, and on two other occasions gra- 
 tuities are given to a set of morris-dancers, and to 
 the facetious Heywood for playing an interlude 
 before her with his children J. The harmless prac- 
 tice of drawing Valentines was permitted in her 
 household ; and once a game of bowls is noticed, at 
 which a breakfast was the wager, and the Princess 
 lost it§. During Mary's reign, too, the popular 
 diversions of the " Boy-Bishop " and May-games 
 were renewed, much to the satisfaction of the 
 people; yet this even has been made the subject 
 of reproach to her by her inconsistent accusers.

 scribed by Hume, is notorious to those at all ac- 
 quainted with the history of the period. One 
 instance of this may suffice. In January, 1555-6, 
 the Queen's pensioners mustered in Greenwich 
 Park, and after the muster was concluded, a tum- 
 bler came and played many pretty feats, at which 
 the Queen was observed " to laugh heartily*." The 
 custom also adopted by Mary of retaining in her 
 service a female jester f, and the familiarity she 
 admitted the witty Hey wood to assume in her pre- 
 sence:}:, even almost to the last hour of her exist- 
 ence, are sufficient proofs of her piety not so far 
 prevailing over every other sentiment as to prevent 
 her enjoying rational pastime and mirth. 
 
 To the above may be added a fondness for sing- 
 ing birds §, which would contribute to indicate a 
 mind naturally of a soft and kind disposition. But 
 few ill-tempered women will be found to indulge 
 in partialities of so innocent a description. 
 
 One more feature in Mary's character deserves 
 notice, since she has been, as usual, censured for 
 it, viz. her attempt, when Queen, to introduce a 
 more splendid style of dress into the Court, and 
 adoption of the French fashions ||. This could not 
 have proceeded from ostentation or personal vanity,

 since she abolished the expensive custom of Pro- 
 gresses, and preferred walking out with her maids, 
 without any distinction of dress, at her Palace of 
 Croydon ; visiting in disguise the houses of the 
 poor, and apprenticing their children*. Nor did 
 she ever carry her love of rich apparel to extrava- 
 gance, as was the case with her successor. Mary's 
 portraits always represent her richly dressed f, 
 but do not exhibit that monstrosity of whale- 
 bone, ruff, and pearls seen in the pictures of Eliza- 
 beth. 
 
 The private virtues of Mary were such as to 
 need no encomium beyond the simple enumeration of

 t A description of Mary's dress, on two splendid occasions, by eye- 
 witnesses, may not unaptly illustrate the remark in the text. The first 
 is on her entry into London, previous to her coronation: " She sat 
 in a gown of blew veluet, furred w' poudrid armyne, hauyng on hir 
 heade a call of clothe of tynsell, besett w' perle and ston, and about 
 the same, apon hir hed, a wid circlett of golde, muche like a hooped 
 garlande, besett so richely w' many precyouse stones that the value 
 therof was inestymable. The same call and circle being so massy and 
 ponderous that she was fayn to beare vppe hir hedd w' hir hande." — 
 MS. Harl. 194, f. 60 b. The second is on her marriage : " La Reina 
 era vestita alia Franzese, con una vobba di broccato riccio sopra ric- 
 cio, con istrassino Inngo, riccamata attorno di perle grossissime, & di 
 diamenti di molta grandezza. Nella rivoltura della manica era tutta 
 appresa di un groppo d" oro, riccamati con perle, & con diamanti ; 
 il chiapirone con due bordive di gran diamanti ; & nel petto portava 
 il diamante tanto honorato, & di tanto valore, che le mando a donare 
 11 Re per lo Marchese di Las Naos, mentre sua Maesta era in Ispagna. 
 La veste di sotto era di raso bianco, riccamata d' argento ; le calze di 
 scarlatto ; le scarpe di velluto nero." — Raviglio Rosso, Historia delle

 them. She was thoroughly sincere in her religious 
 principles : this praise is admitted by her enemies, 
 and cannot be denied. She was of a kind and 
 generous disposition, not merely towards her con- 
 nexions and dependents, but towards the poor. She 
 was constantly in the habit of dispensing alms to 
 the indigent prisoners of London, as well as to 
 casual petitioners for relief, out of the limited in- 
 come allowed her as Princess ; and in her will this 
 liberality is evinced in a more ample and munificent 
 manner. By the same document she gains immor- 
 tal honour for having been the first to suggest the 
 foundation of an establishment for the reception of 
 invalid soldiers, and certain funds were appro- 
 priated to so noble a design, but which, with every 
 other testamentary bequest, was utterly neglected 
 by her successor. Towards her household, even 
 to the meanest servant, Mary ever proved herself 
 a kind, attentive mistress. When sick, every per- 
 sonal comfort and medical attendance was allowed 
 them ; their children were put to school at her 
 expense*, and, if necessary, letters were written to 
 those in power in their behalf. Another proof of 
 her liberality is the circumstance of her standing 
 godmother to so many children, on which occasions 
 it was always usual to make handsome presents to 
 the attendants. In this respect, likewise, her con-

 duct to Elizabeth is without blame, for when Prin- 
 cess she constantly sent the latter money or gifts of 
 various sorts*, and when Queen made her a mag- 
 nificent present of jewels, as proved by the margins 
 of an Inventory still in existence. In her manners 
 and behaviour, even in that age of license, there 
 cannot be found a single circumstance to cast sus- 
 picion for one moment on the purity and sanctity 
 of her heart. 
 
 Let us now turn to the testimonies of those his- 
 torians whose judgment may be considered as im- 
 partial. In these we cannot include the names of 
 Buchanan f, Carte, or Hume, whose coarse invec- 
 
 * Pp. 50, 88, 90. MS. Harl. 73, 76. See also pp. 178, 194, 197, 
 of the Inventory at the end of these Expenses. Warton had justice 
 enough to point out the falsity of the opinions respecting Mary's treat- 
 ment of Elizabeth, in his Life of Sir T. Pope, p. 91. 
 
 f The famous line, " Male grata patriae, male grata marito," is a 
 censure on Philip rather than the Queen. His treatment of her was 
 scandalously neglectful, and doubtless contributed to hasten the ter- 
 mination of her existence. The stories also in circulation among 
 those who wrote against Mary's government would show how licen- 
 tiously the Spaniards vi^ere accustomed to speak of her. Thus speaks 
 one of these malcontents, in a scarce work called " The Lamentacion 
 of England," 12mo., bl. 1., 1553: " And as touching the King's per- 
 sone, I knowe non to finde any faute with it, except the Queue her 
 selff do, for lake of his company so long, the which, as it is reportid, 
 he litle regardith, for as his Spanierds haue blasid abrode in other 
 contres saieng, what shall the King do with such an old bich ; also 
 affirming that she may be his mother, a yonger is more meter for him, 
 w^ith no dispitfuU words spoken off them, the which yffan Englishman 
 should report, should be taken for odius." — p. 1 2. The fact of Philip's 
 inconstancy is mentioned in very unqualified terms by Bradford, in 
 his Letter to the Lords of the Council, ap. Strype, Eccl. Mem. iii. 2,

 tives are undeserving of serious refutation. And 
 first on the list may be cited the description of 
 Michele, the Venetian Ambassador, whose original 
 text, as yet unpublished, it may be proper to annex ; 
 " As to the more important qualities of her mind," 
 he writes, " with a few trifling exceptions, (in which, 
 to speak truth, she is like other women, since, be- 
 sides being hasty and somewhat resentful*, she is 
 
 352 : " Paradventure, after he wer crowned, he woulde be content 
 with one woman, but in the mean space he niuste have iij or iiij in one 
 nyght, to prove which of them he lyketh best ; not of ladyes and jen- 
 tyllworaen, but of bakers doughters, and suche poore whores ; where- 
 upon they have a certayne saying. The baker's daughter is better in 
 her goune, than Queue Mary ivythout the crowned And this incli- 
 nation of the King may not be unaptly illustrated from a rare tract 
 entitled "The Life of the La. Magdalen, Viscountesse Montague, 
 written in Latin by Richard Smith, D.D., her Confessor, and trans- 
 lated into English by C. F.," 4to., 1627, in which the following anec- 
 dote of Lady Magdalen's chastity is recorded : " For whiles she liued 
 a mayd of honour in the Court, on a tyme King Philip, who had 
 maryed Queene Mary, youthfully opened a window, where by chance 
 she was washing her face, and sportingly putting in his arme, which 
 some other would perhaps haue taken as a great honour, and reioyced 
 therat, she knowing that the condition of virgins was not vnlike vnto 
 flowers, which with the least touch doe loose of their beauty, hauing 
 more regard of her owne purity then of the Kings Maiesty, she tooke 
 a stafFe lying by, and strongly stroke the King on the arme. Which 
 fact the prudent King did not only take without offence, but it was 
 the increase of her honour and esteeme." — p. 19. It was probably 
 on occasion of some such "jest," that Mary is said, in afit of jealousy, 
 to have torn Philip's portrait in pieces. — Carte, iii. 329. 
 
 The Editor has to express his best thanks to B. H. Bright, Esq. for 
 the loan of the above two very curious tracts. 
 
 * The original word " sdegnosa " does not mean disdainful, as in- 
 terpreted in Mr, Ellis's Orig. Lett., but signifies that sort of resent- 
 ment which proceeds from, and is proof of a noble and spirited dis- 
 position. See Dante, Inferno, cant. viii. 1, 44.

 rather more parsimonious and miserly than is fitting 
 to a munificent and liberal sovereign,) she has, in 
 other respects, no notable imperfection, and in some 
 things she is without equal ; for she not only is 
 endowed with a spirit beyond other women, who 
 are naturally timid, but is so courageous and reso- 
 lute, that no adversity nor danger ever caused her 
 to betray symptoms of pusillanimity. On the con- 
 trary, she has ever preserved a greatness of mind 
 and dignity that is admirable, knowing as well 
 what is due to the rank she holds as the wisest of 
 her councillors, so that in her conduct and pro- 
 ceedings during the whole of her life, it cannot be 
 denied she has always proved herself to be the 
 offspring of a truly royal stock. Of her humility, 
 piety, and observance of religious duties, it is un- 
 necessary to speak, since they are well known, and 
 have been proved by suflferings little short of mar- 
 tyrdom ; so that one may truly say of her, with the 
 Cardinal, that amidst the darkness and obscurity 
 which overshadowed this kingdom, she remained 
 like a faint flame strongly agitated by winds 
 which strove to extinguish it, but always kept 
 alive by her innocence and true faith, in order 
 she might one day shine to the world as she now 
 does. And certainly but few other ladies of rank, 
 or even private individuals, are known, more as- 
 siduous than she is, as well in prayers (which no 
 impediment is ever suffered to interrupt) as in going 
 from time to time with her chaplains either to church

 ceiving the Sacrament, and in every other Christian 
 duty, just as if she were a nun, or a person be-

 this description, which requires notice, is the charge 
 of illiberaliti/, which is manifestly false, and must

 be grounded on some personal views of the Ambas- 
 sador, who, probably, had not received quite so 
 large a douceur as he expected. The contrary is 
 abundantly proved by the evidence already cited, 
 and may still further be corroborated by the opi- 
 nions of those whose interest it was not to heap too 
 large a share of praise on her. Bishop Godwin 
 says of her : " She was a woman truly pious, 
 benign, and of most chaste manners, and to be 
 lauded above all, if you do not regard her failure 
 in religion*." And Cavendish, in his panegyric :

 Camden is still more laudatory: "She was a lady 
 never to be sufficiently praised for the sanctity of 
 her demeanour, her charity towards the poor, and 
 her liberality towards noblemen and ecclesiastics;]:." 
 And Bishop Burnet, whose testimony must be al- 
 lowed to outweigh Michele's : " She had a generous 
 disposition of mind, but much corrupted by melan-

 clioly, which was partly natural in her, but much 
 increased by the cross accidents of her life*."' In 
 the same manner the objection of an irritable tem- 
 per, if spoken generally of Mary's disposition, is not 
 true, but towards the close of her life her constant 
 sufferings from illness and neglect may have con- 
 tributed to render her occasionally peevish f. The 
 character given by Lingard, drawn up from the 
 preceding authorities, may also be referred to with 
 confidence, but need not be quoted, and is con- 
 firmed by the views taken by Lodge and Singer. 
 It is not the Editor's wish to institute any parallel 
 between Mary and Elizabeth, yet it is impossible 
 not to observe, that in the manners and conversa- 
 tion of the former we find none of that levity, 
 unseemly use of oaths, or violent gesture, which 
 disofrace her successor. Such instances of un- 
 womanly conduct and bitterness of enmity as are 
 presented in Elizabeth's treatment of Rookwood, 
 after partaking of his hospitality;]:; or the impri- 
 sonment of poor Lady Jane Hertford in the Tower 
 till her death, simply for the crime of marrying

 t Turner first adopts Michele's statement, p. 233, and in the very 
 next page admits her temper was not ungentle ! So, also, in his text, 
 p. 274, he asserts in good round terms, that Elizabeth "was saved 
 with great difficulty, from Mary's desire for her execution ;" and 
 then, in a note, adds, "There is not any reason to believe that Mary 
 ever contemplated an action so atrocious." Is this the part of a 
 faithful historian ?

 without asking leave, and then daring to love 
 her husband*, are nowhere to be traced in the 
 annals of Mary's reign. Such examples of cruel 
 and unfeminine conduct seem a fouler blot on the 
 memory of Elizabeth than the intolerance of Mary. 
 The former proceeded from the ivomaii, the latter 
 from the sovereign. 
 
 In person Mary has been represented by many 
 writers of history as deformed as in mind, and with 
 an equal disregard of truth. Historic prejudice 
 generally endeavours to blacken the one as a con- 
 sequence of the other, as notorious in the case of 
 Richard III. To examine fairly the question, two 
 sources may be adduced : first, the descriptions of 
 contemporaries, and secondly, the authentic por- 
 traits of Mary now in existence. The former spe- 
 cies of evidence is in many respects to be preferred, 
 because, although there may occasionally be a 
 shade of flattery mingled with truth, yet, by com- 
 paring various testimonies, some just conclusions 
 may be arrived at. In regard to portraits, the little 
 resemblance preserved among them renders it diffi- 
 cult to decide which is entitled to credit ; and the 
 hand of the artist may be accused of infidelity, or 
 the authenticity of the picture questioned. How 
 is it possible, for instance, to look at the original 
 drawings of Holbein, in the Royal and Arundel 
 collections, and believe them to represent the same 
 person, painted by the same artist, at Burghley 
 
 « Collins's Peerage, i. 172, ed. Brydges.

 House? Or how can we reconcile the features of 
 Mary, delineated by Sir Antonio More, in the 
 picture sent to Madrid, with those engraven by 
 Hogenberg the year after? Engravings, also, from 
 the absence of colour and animation, speak not to 
 the eye, and in this respect the Coronation Medal 
 of Mary cannot be esteemed a fair criterion of her 
 features — to say nothing of the artist's skill — 
 which, even in modern times, has often transformed 
 a comely face into a caricature*. 
 
 The earliest description of Mary's person and 
 appearance is contained in the letter from Dr. 
 Sampson to Wolsey, already quoted f, when she 
 was about nine years of age, and is highly flatter- 
 ing to her. And in Roy's Satire against Cardinal 
 Wolsey, composed probably about 1527, and cer- 
 tainly printed before 1530, is a more valuable and 
 disinterested testimony, since it proceeds from a 
 Protestant Reformer. After alluding to the children 
 of Queen Catherine, the Dialogue proceeds thus :

 The tlieme, also, of lier beauty, virtues, and 
 accomplishments is always urged in her favour, 
 in the various matrimonial negotiations entered 
 into on her account with Continental Princes, 
 and had there not been some pretensions to such 
 praise, objections would certainly have been taken 
 to it. In the case of the young Duke of Cleves, 
 the personal testimony of Burgart, the Duke's Vice- 
 Chamberlain, is appealed to, who had seen Mary 
 in England, and is a decided proof her appearance, 
 when Princess, was of a pleasing character. A 
 still more favourable account is given by Hey wood, 
 when she was eighteen years of age, but, perhaps, 
 somewhat questionable, on account of his poetical 
 language. It is intitled, " A Description of a most 
 noble Ladye, advewed by John Heywoodef :"

 nance and person. The dress she wore was a 
 petticoat of cloth of gold, and gown of violet- 
 coloured three-piled velvet, with a head-dress of 
 many rich stones*." Two other foreigners have 
 left us descriptions at a later period. Perlin, who 
 was present at the ceremony of Mary's public entry 
 into London, on her accession, states her appear- 
 ance in the following terms : " Next came the 
 ladies, married and single, in the midst of whom 
 was Madame Mary, Queen of England, mounted on 
 a small white ambling nag, the housings of which 
 were fringed with gold thread. The Queen herself 
 was dressed in violet-coloured velvet, and was then 
 about forty [thirty-seven] years of age, and rather 
 fresh coloured f." And Michele, the Venetian Am- 
 bassador, in 1557, still more minutely, thus: "She 
 is of low stature, but has no deformity in any part 
 of her person. She is thin and delicate, and alto- 
 gether unlike her father, who was tall and strongly 
 made, or her mother, who, although not tall, was 
 stout. Her features are well formed, and, as her 
 portraits prove, was considered, when younger, not 
 merely good-looking but more than moderatelj/ prettj/. 
 At present, with the exception of some wrinkles, 
 caused more by sorrow than by years, which make 
 her appear older than in fact she is, her looks are of

 a grave and sedate cast. Her eyes are so piercing 
 as to command not only respect but awe from those 
 on whom she casts them, yet she is very near- 
 sighted, being unable to read, or do anything else, 
 without placing her eyes quite close to the object. 
 Her voice is deep-toned, and rather masculine, so 
 that when she speaks she is heard some distance 
 off. In conclusion, she is a well-looking lady, nor, 
 putting out of the question her rank as Queen, 
 should she ever be spoken ill of for want of suffi- 
 cient beauty*." 
 
 Others proceed beyond this in praising her looks. 
 Antonio Guidi, who delivered her funeral oration 
 at Rome, by request of Ascanio Caraccioci, the 
 Spanish Ambassador, speaks in terms of laboured 
 panegyric : " Why should I tell," he says, " the

 sweetness of her manners, with whicli she capti- 
 vated the minds and hearts of all ? Why describe 
 the beauty of her person, or the lovely lips and 
 fair sparkling eyes, animated by a modesty and 
 maidenly grace that caused every body to admire 
 her beyond what is mortal*?" And many years 
 after Sandrart says expressly " that she was a 
 beautiful woman f." 
 
 In her gesture and manner of walking she seems 
 to have been less stately and precise than Elizabeth, 
 as we learn incidentally from Puttenham, who, in 
 speaking of the carriage proper to be adopted by a 
 sovereign, says it is " to goe slowly, and to march 
 with leysure, and with a certain granditie." Eliza- 
 beth, he adds, usually affected this, " unlesse it be 
 when she walketh apace for her pleasure, or to 
 catch her a heate in the colde mornings." He then 
 observes, " This comeliness " [rather say, formality] 
 " was wanting in Queene Marie, otherwise a very 
 good and honorable Princesselj;." 
 
 It is now time to turn to the portraits of Mary,

 and see if the preceding passages are at all corro- 
 borated by tliem. The paintings of her as Princess 
 are few in number, and are mostly ascribed to 
 Holbein. Of these, perhaps, the one best entitled 
 to consideration is that preserved at Burghley 
 House, and engraved in Lodge's splendid work*. 
 A general resemblance can easily be traced in the 
 features to those of Catharine of Arragon, as she 
 appears in Houbraken's print, and the quiet, intel- 
 lectual cast of countenance accords strictly with 
 what we know of Mary's habits and disposition. 
 In the original she is represented with brown hair, 
 large open hazel eyes, full red lips, and a good 
 complexion, but inclining to the brunette. Alto- 
 gether it is a face which, although it would not 
 strike at first sight, yet, by degrees, commands a 
 considerable degree of admiration. With this may 
 be compared the sketch, by Holbein, preserved in 
 the Royal Collection, as improved by Bartolozzi, and 
 enofraven amono; the Holbein Heads. The liberties 
 taken by the artist are such as to prevent any ac- 
 curate judgment being made of it, but it evidently 
 appears to be an enlarged draught of the miniature 
 
 * The period at which the picture was taken is not noticed in the 
 work, which is an omission, since, when Mary became Queen, her 
 features had assuredly undergone considerable alteration. It appears 
 more than probable that this is the identical picture of the Princess 
 mentioned in Troughton's narrative, which, in 1553, was preserved in 
 the house of one Fetherstone (probably a relation of IMary's tutor), 
 at Stamford. See Archceologia, vol. xxiii. p. 38.

 Avhich existed in tlie Arundel Collection, and was 
 engraven by Hollar*. Witli the exception of a 
 slight degree of pettishness about the lips, it is a 
 pleasing and interesting face. Even Walpole was 
 softened by it, and allows it to be "■ not disagree- 
 able." There is also in the British Museum f an 
 ancient portrait bearing this inscription " Maria 
 Princeps. An° Dom. 1531," with the initials J. B., 
 supposed to have been painted by John Brown, 
 Sergeant-Painter to Henry the Eighth. In some 
 respects this resembles the BurgJiley picture, but 
 as its authenticity has been questioned by several 
 good judges, and the inscription is of doubtful 
 antiquity, it is not worth while to say more of it 
 here. A fourth portrait deserves notice from its 
 date J. On it, in small capitals, is written, " Ladi 
 Mari dovghter to the most vertvovs prince 
 KiNGE Hexri the Eight. The age of xxviii 
 YERES. Axxo DNi', 1544." The engraving from 
 it is a very poor one, but the painting seems to be 
 authentic, and may be the same referred to in the 
 Accounts in the present volume, as the year exactly 
 corresponds §. The dress and attitude resemble

 bein*, but the engraver has deformed her features, 
 and no opportunity has occurred to the Editor of 
 consuhing the original f. 
 
 The portraits of Mary as Queen are very nu- 
 merous, but may all be reduced to three or four 
 classes, and of these the most authentic is, unques- 
 tionably, the portrait painted by Sir Antonio More, 
 previous to her marriage with Philip, and sent 
 to Madrid. For this service the artist received 
 the liberal reward of a gold chain, worth 100/., 
 and an annuity of 100/. J. An engraving of it, 
 
 * Formerly in the apartments of the Society of Antiquaries at 
 Somerset House, and now at the King's Palace in St. James's Park. 
 It represents Henry VIII., Queen Jane Seymour, Prince Edward, 
 the Princesses Mary and Elizabeth, the Jester Will Somers, and 
 Jane the Fool. Mary is represented on the right of the King, with a 
 full, open countenance, well-formed nose, and small mouth. Her 
 hair appears shaded on either side of the forehead, and she wears a 
 cap studded with precious stones. Her dress is of figured silver 
 brocade, with black sleeves, and a crimson petticoat ; her hands 
 clasped together, and adorned with rings, and a necklace of pearls. 
 After an attentive examination of this picture, the Editor is bound to 
 say, it does not appear to him to have proceeded from the hand of 
 Holbein ; and the anachronism of placing Prince Edward, as a boy of 
 twelve or fourteen years, by the side of his mother, who died in giving 
 him birth, is such as to prevent any just opinion being formed of the 
 period at which it was executed. 
 
 t To those who wish to compare additional instances, it may be 
 useful to know that the Princess is to be found in three other engraved 
 prints : 1 . In the extremely rare family print, by Rogers, at Straw- 
 berry Hill— 2. In the family print, by Bartolozzi, fi'om the original, 
 belonging to the Earl of Besborough— and 3. In the print given in

 by Vasquez, is well known to print collectors, but 
 is rare. She was then thirty-eight years of age, 
 and the features, though broader, and altered much 
 from what they were whcii younger, present a face 
 by no means harsh or unpleasing. More painted 
 or copied various other likenesses of her, many of 
 which are still preserved* ; and from these have 
 proceeded the prints by Delaram, Vertue, and their 
 numerous followers. It would be tedious to pursue 
 the inquiry farther, but we should scarcely be for- 
 given for omitting to notice the rare and extraor- 
 dinary pair of prints by Hogenberg, published 
 during Mary's lifetime. The first is a large oval, 
 containing only the bust, in her usual dress, with 
 the inscription " Maria Hen. VIII. F. Dei gratia 
 Regina," &c., and the motto "Veritas Temporis 
 Filia," F. H. 1555. The features are on a large 
 scale, and the artist has contrived to throw a ma- 
 lignity of expression into them impossible to be 
 described and difficult to imitate. They must be 
 pronounced a decided caricature. This will be 
 evident by comparing the artist with himself, for 
 in his other print, published about the same time, 
 no such sinister expression is visible, but, allowing 
 a certain latitude for the coarseness of the engraving, 
 
 * The most curious among them is the picture at Woburn Abbey, 
 representing the whole-length portraits of Mary and Philip, and 
 dated 1558. The Queen is seated, and in the same dress and position 
 as in the picture sent to Madrid. A beautiful copy of this painting 
 (which has never been engraven) is in the hands of Mr. George 
 Harding, to whom the Editor is indebted for a sight of it.

 it may very well be considered the representative 
 of what Mary then was, after a long series of ill 
 health and misfortune, compared with what she ap- 
 pears when young, in the Burghley portrait. This 
 second print of Hogenberg resembles the former in 
 dress, and is also within an oval, round which is 
 this inscription : " Illa. ego. cvi. svperare. svos. 
 
 DEVS. OPTIMVS. HOSTES. IVSTITIAQVE. DEBIT. GEN- 
 TEM. FRENARE. BrITANNAM. AnNO ^TAT. SV^. 
 
 XXXIX." It is the more remarkable from being 
 particularly noticed in a rare black-letter tract of 
 the period*, (apparently unknown to Strype,) in 
 which the writer accuses her of pretending to be 
 with child for the sake of inducing the Parliament 
 to give the crown to Philip — " to thentent that he

 It appears conclusive, from the preceding con- 
 current testimonies of contemporary writers, and 
 the earliest portraits, that Mary possessed in her 
 youth no inconsiderable share of beauty. But it 
 happened with her, as with hundreds of others, 
 even in the present day, who, from constitutional 
 ill-health, and constant grief and sadness, lose every 
 attraction of feature they once might pretend to. 
 These causes had been severely felt by the Prin- 
 cess, more or less, for a long period, and they in-

 creased with her years, so that by the time she was 
 forty a very material change in her appearance 
 had taken place*. To the ruddy complexion she 
 once had, succeeded an ashy paleness, which was 
 not relieved by the formal mode in which she wore 
 her hair, or the unbecoming head-dress she ordina- 
 rily adopted. Her marriage, also, to which she 
 had looked forward with hope and confidence, 
 served only to increase her sufferings ; and the 
 disappointment felt at the want of offspring, added 
 to the cold neglect of Philip, materially added to 
 her malady. Noailles, the French Ambassador, 
 writing in May, 1556, declares her so altered^that 
 she looked ten years older |; and the effect of all 
 this on her mind as well as body became visible to 
 all around her. 
 
 Her delicate constitution, indeed, she seems to 
 have inherited from her mother, who was subject 
 to many infirmities, but the disorder under which 
 the Princess laboured (called by physicians amenor- 
 rhwci) commenced only at years of puberty, and 
 never left her during the rest of her life. The 
 remedies adopted were frequent bleedings:]: and 
 
 * It is expressly so stated by her panegyrist Guidi, in his oration 
 before the Consistory : " Interea Maria propter publicas privatasque 
 calamitates ita vivebat, ut ad ejusassiduos fletus mseroremque incre- 
 dibilem, qui perditis hominibus jucundus esset, bonorum omnium 
 raentes oculique flecterentur, ejusque species oranis & pulchritude

 horse exercise*, from both of which she expe 
 rienced partial relief, but which rendered her, by 
 degrees, pale and emaciated. Her "old guestf 
 returned again and again, and, after her marriage, 
 increased to that excess that her person swelled, 
 and not only herself but her medical attendants 
 were deceived by the belief of her being pregnant [f. 
 It is singular such a delusion should have prevailed 
 so long, since, as appears by her will, she still 
 firmly believed in her pregnancy until a few months 
 previous to her death.

 I Noailles, iv, pp. 290, 331, 333 ; v. 12, 13. Lingard, v. 71. The 
 Venetian Ambassador, speaking of the public and private causes 
 which contributed to her uneasiness, is very minute as to the real 
 cause of her illness : — " Ch' ella naturalmente patisce per la retentione 
 de' mestrui, et sufFocatione della matrice, alia quale da molti anni in 
 qua e spesso sottoposta, si che per remedio non bastandole lo sfogarsi 
 come spesso usa conle lagrime et col piangere, essendo fin da picciola 
 assuefatta in quest o, bisogna cauarle sangue, quando da un piede, et 
 quando da altra parte, ch' e quello che la tiene di continuo pallida et 
 macilente."— MS. Lansd. 840, A. f, 157. Tlie other copy, in MS. 
 Celt. Nero, B. vii. f. 156 6, reads thus : "Haancolei qualche pas- 
 sioni che la perturbano, cosi publiche come priuate, le quali sono la 
 retentione delli menstrui, per remedio del qual morbo si fa cauar sangue, 
 che la tiene del continuo pallida et masilenta. Di questo morbo e 
 proceduto quel vano rumore della sua gi-avidanza, che andaua tanto 
 innanzi, che le tette s' ingrossauano, et mandauano fuori del latte." 
 In Ware's Annals is a curious passage bearing on this point, as 
 follows : " Queen Mary, by the running of water behind her skin, or, 
 as others will, by a distemper which physicians call mola, was de- 
 clared to be with child, but the error was found out the next year 
 through the assistance of an Irish doctor." — p. 234.

 For some time before lier decease her health liad 
 been very indifterent, and in August a slight febrile 
 indisposition caused her to remove from Hampton 
 Court to St. James's. The following month she 
 was rather better, but in October she again suffered 
 considerably from the attack, which was rapidly 
 gaining ground, and on the 28th of that month she 
 was sufficiently conscious of her danger to add a 
 codicil to her will. During her sickness her 
 cheerfulness and piety never forsook her, and on 
 the morning of her death mass was celebrated, by 
 her desire, in her chamber. She was perfectly sen- 
 sible, and received the Sacraments appointed by 
 the Roman Catholic Church, but expired a few 
 moments before the conclusion of the ceremony*, 
 between four and and five o clock in the mornino- 
 of the 17th November, 1558, at the age of forty- 
 two years and nine months, having reigned five 
 years, four months, and eleven days. By various 
 writers the immediate cause of her death is ascribed 
 to fever or dropsy t, while some have thought it 
 accelerated by the loss of Calais and death of the

 spirite into y" hande of her Maker."— Bp. of Winchester's Funeral 1 
 Sermon. MS. Cott. Vesp. D. xviii. f. 104 b. Strype speaks of her / 
 death in most indecent terms. Surely, at such a moment, the piety of 
 the Catholic deserves equal respect with that of the Protestant.

 Emperor. Others assign still more improbable 
 reasons, and some (amongst whom was Osorius) 
 suspected her life, with that of Cardinal Pole (who 
 only survived her twenty-two hours) to have been 
 terminated by means of poison. 
 
 Her corpse was embalmed with the usual solem- 
 nities, and on Saturday, the 10th December, was 
 brought to the Chapel and laid in state, and on the 
 13th placed in a chariot and removed with great 
 pomp to Westminster Abbey, where she was in- 
 terred, on the north side of Henry the Seventh's 
 Chapel*. During the reign of her successor, not 
 the slightest mark of respect was shown to her 
 memory by the erection of a monument, and even 
 at the present day no other memorial remains to 
 point out the spot where she lies, except two small 
 black tablets at the west base of the sumptuous 
 tomb erected by order of King James I., over the 
 ashes of Elizubeth and her less fortunate sister.

 a diamond sent her by the Emperor, and a diamond, 
 collar of gold, and ruby set in a gold ring pre- 
 sented to her at various times by himself. To Car- 
 dinal Pole, who is named also Executor, is left 
 1000/.; and to the other Executors sums respec- 
 tively of 500/. and 500 marks each. The witnesses 
 to the Will are these : Sir Henry Bedingfield, Sir 
 Thomas Wharton, Sir John Throkmorton, and Sir 
 Roger Wilbraham. 
 
 The Codicil to her Will bears date 28th October, 
 the same year. In it we evidently discern the fear 
 of one who doubted the sincerity of her successor. 
 All hope of issue was now abandoned, and Eliza- 
 beth, therefore, was the person to whom not only 
 the Queen but the whole nation must have turned 
 their eyes. She is not mentioned by name, but 
 sufficiently indicated by the dying Queen's earnest 
 entreaties that she would suffer the bequests and 
 intentions of her Will to be carried into effect. 
 Her husband is, in the same solemn manner, adjured 
 to maintain peace and amity with England. How 
 both of these last requests were complied with 
 history may inform us. So far from the Will being 
 complied with by Elizabeth, it was so completely

 disregarded, that it is only after the lapse of more 
 than two centuries and a half we learn such a 
 document ever existed, and it redounds very little 
 to the honour of the " Virgin Queen " that such a 
 total and heartless indiiference should have been 
 shown towards the memory and wishes of her pre- 
 decessor. 
 
 Thus have we gone through the various memo- 
 randa relating to Mary accessible to research. Some 
 few may hereafter be discovered, or have escaped 
 the vigilance of the Editor, but they cannot be nu- 
 merous or very important. The motto she adopted 
 when Queen, " Veritas Temporis Filia," was not 
 then more applicable to her than now, and there is 
 no reason why prejudice should prevent our doing 
 justice at present to her character. "Her merits," 
 says Warton, " seem to have been overlooked in 
 her misfortunes ; and as the latter were aggravated, 
 so the former were obliterated by the blaze of 
 prosperity which surrounded the succeeding reign." 
 There have been brighter characters in history, 
 but few would bear so strict an examination in 
 regard to the irreproachable and unblemished tenor 
 of private life. Mary, in this view, must be ranked 
 amongst the best although not the greatest of our 
 Sovereigns ; and it would prove a real satisfaction 
 to the writer of this Memoir to find that what 
 is here supplied may induce a single person to 
 judge of her more leniently, or to cause the vulgar 
 appellation of "bloody Queen " to be replaced by 
 one of more truth and more Christian charity.

 Originally forming one of a set engraved by Goltzius in 1584. The

 Tlie editor has been unable to find 
 any definition of the above word 
 in the limited sense in which it is 
 here used, either in the French or 
 English lexicographers. It evi- 
 dently implies some ornaments of 
 goldsmith's work, probably worn 
 round the neck or bosom, and 
 not unfrequently set with pearls, 
 diamonds, rubies, &c. In a MS. 
 list of Mary's jewels, after she 
 became queen {3JS. Hail. 7376, 
 fol. 5, 6), are mentioned various 
 " Habillemenis of golde, ferle and 
 stone," distinguished, as here, by 
 the epithets tipper and nether. 
 The term is evidently equivalent 
 to that of border, which was also 
 divided into upper and nether 
 {Gage's Hen grave, p. 213), so that 
 the ornaments must have been 
 nearly the same.

 The above items comprehend the

 Dec. l.')44, and must therefore be 
 referred to more persons than one. 
 Ilenrj' Fitzroy, Duke of Richmond, 
 natural son of Henry VIII-, was 
 appointed Lord High Admiral 
 IGth Jul\-, 15'2r) {liymer, xiv.) ; 
 and continued to hold that office 
 
 until his death, 22nd July, 1536. 
 He was succeeded, on the IGth 
 Aug. of the same year, by William 
 Fitzwilliam, created Earl of South- 
 ampton in 1537, who was replaced 
 July 18th, 1540, by John, Lord 
 Russell, afterwards Earl of Bed- 
 ford ; and on 27th Jan., 1543-4, 
 Sir John Dudley, Viscount Lisle, 
 subsequently Duke of Northurn- 
 berland, was nominated to this 
 office. The lady mentioned p. 
 170 was Jane, daughter and heir 
 of Sir Edward Guildford, knight 
 and wife of the last mentioned 
 nobleman. See Dudley. 
 Aelmer, Elmer, Mrs. 28, 53, 70. 
 In the hsts of persons forming 
 the household of the Lady Maiy, 
 in July, 1525, and October, 1533 
 (MS. Har/. 6807, fF. 3, 7), we find 
 31rs. Frances Elmer, or Aelmer, 
 included among the " ladies and 
 gentlewomen," each of whom is 
 allowed an attendant. She was 
 also one of the ladies of the court 
 who attended the funeral of Queen 
 Jane Sej-mour on horseback. See 
 Strype's Aylmer, p. 127, ed. 1821, 
 who considers her of the same 
 family as the bishop.

 These were worn by both sexes ; 
 by the men chiefly as tags to their 
 laces or points {aiguillettes), which 
 were made either square or pointed, 
 plain or in the form of acorns 
 {MS. Harl. 7376, fF. 8, 17, 32, b.), 
 or with small heads cut at the end, 
 (see Warburton's note on Shak- 
 speare's Much Ado about Nothing, 
 act iii., sc. 1), or topped with a 
 diamond or ruby. We are told 
 by Latimer, that when Lord Sey- 
 mour, of Sudley, was a prisoner 
 in the Tower, he wrote letters to 
 the Princesses Mary and Elizabeth 
 with the aglet of one of his points. 
 They were worn also by ladies, as 
 pendants or ornaments in their

 head-dress ; and hence Baret, in 
 his Alvearie, 1573, explains "ag- 
 let or jewel in one's cap," by 
 monile ex atiro vel gemmis con- 
 fectum ; and Cotgrave renders 
 " golden aglets" \>y guipures d'or, 
 and under affiquet adds the fol- 
 lowing illustration : " Any pretty 
 toy or trinket, as a little brooch, 
 flower, button, aglet, &c., stuck on 
 the hat, head, hood, or elsewhere, 
 and worn (especially by a woman) 
 for ornament." Junius is therefore 
 evidently mistaken in explaining 
 aglet by spangle, into which error 
 Archdeacon Nares has also partly 
 fallen. See also a note on this 
 term in the Wardrobe Account of

 There can be no doubt that this

 tory of Queen Elizabeth's jewels

 1C50), there are many curious in- 
 stances of its uses, a few of which 
 I will select, f. 26. " Item, oone

 siluer and guilt, emlDossid w' boyes

 1797. There were various sorts 
 of mLxtures which passed under 
 this name, the most famous of 
 which seems to have been invented 
 by a Doctor Stevens, and hence 
 called Dr. Stevens's Imperial or 
 Sovereign IVater. ^Vith this water 
 Doctor S. is said to have preserved 
 his own life " vntill such extreame 
 age, that he could neither goe nor 
 ride, and he continued his life, 
 being bed-rid, for fine yeeres, &c. ; 
 also the Archbishop of Canter- 
 burj' vsed it, and found such good- 
 nesse in it, that he liued till he was 
 not able to drink of a cup, but 
 sucked his chink through a hollow 
 pipe of silver." — Epulario, or the 
 lialiun Banquet, Aio. London, 1598, 
 p. 29. The ingredients of the 
 above celebrated water were, a gal- 
 lon of Gascoign wine, with an in- 
 fusion of ginger, galmgale, camo- 
 mile, cinnamon, nutmegs, grains, 
 cloves, mace, anise-seeds, fennel- 
 seeds, caraway seeds, &c., the vir- 
 tues of which are represented as 
 almost miraculous. — Treasury of 
 Cotmnodious Conceits, cap. 68, 
 12mo., London, 1586. This re- 
 ceipt is copied in Deliyhts for 
 Ladies, 12mo., London, 1654; and 
 we there learn that, of this water, 
 so prepared, may be made Usque- 
 bath, or Irish Aqiia-vitce, by adding 
 certain things to it. Another sort 
 was made of rosemarj-, hyssop, 
 thyme, sage, parsley, borage, &c.,' 
 infused in ale; but this seems to 
 have been a spurious or inferior 
 imitation. See The JViddoive's

 Augustinus de Augustinis, a Ve-

 nim is preserved, addressed to 
 Cromwell, from Esher, Jan. 19, 
 1529-30, begging that Dr. Butts 
 and Master Walter [Cromer] might 
 be sent down speedily, on account 
 of the Cardinal's illness. He de- 
 sires also some leeches might be 
 procured, and that Master Bal. 
 thasar, or some other person, should 
 be despatched, who understood how 
 to put them on. {MS. Cott., Tit. 
 B. 1. f. 365). A curious anecdote 
 of him is related by Cavendish, 
 how, when he was at Cawood 
 Castle with Wolse}', and havino- 
 on " a boisterous gown of black 
 velvet," he overthrew at dinner 
 time a cup which stood in the 
 corner, which, in its fall, fractured 
 Bonner's head. The Cardinal said 
 it was " malum omen." — Vol. I. 
 p. 273, Ed. Singer. The omen, at 
 least, proved bad for the doctor, 
 snice he was arrested with his 
 master, and sent ofF to London,

 quotes a passage from Woodward 
 on Fossils, in which the ba/as ruby 
 is said to be of a crimson colour, 
 with a cast of purple. In the 
 writers on gems, some additional 
 information may be gleaned re- 
 specting the balas ruby. Cleandro 
 Arnobio describes it as " La se- 
 conda specie dei Rubini chiamato

 in minore stima." He then enu- 
 merates nine different sorts. Tc-

 It is found iu Italy, as we are in- 
 formed by the same writer. The 
 term appears to have been borrowed 
 from the Continent at a very early 
 period, for •' rubros bales''' are men- 
 tioned in the patent roll of 51 
 Hen. III., m. 19 ; and it may also 
 be found in the household books 
 of Edward I., in Chaucer, and in 
 William of Wykeham's will. In 
 later waiters it is by no means of 
 rare occin-rence, although not to be 
 met with in Spenser or Shake-

 Some confusion arises from the 
 variations of orthography, and 
 from there being hvo other pei-sons 
 of the same name in the Princess's 
 household. The individual above 
 mentioned, in the rolls of 1525 and 
 1533, is entered as " S"^ Richard 
 Baldwyne, clerk of the closett," 
 with one attendant ; but in a sul> 
 sequent list, made about 1536-7 
 {3'IS. Cott. Vesp. C.xiv., f.246), is 
 described as chaplain. In the above 
 items he seems cliicfly to have 
 acted as almoner. His name oc-

 She is frequently called Cecily, 
 and in the household Ustof 1536-7 
 occurs as one of the Princess's 
 ehamberers. In 1556,Mrs. Cecile 
 Barnes, " oone of the previe cham- 
 ber," presents to the queen " thre 
 guilt spones," and receives in re- 
 turn " oone guilt cruse," and a 
 " guilt spone."

 In a letter from Eleanor, Countess 
 of Rutland, to the Lady Lisle 
 (wife of Arthur Plantagenet, Vis- 
 count Lisle), she Avrites; " And 
 where ye be verey desirous to haue 
 youre daughter, Maistres Basset, 
 to be oon of the quene's grace's 
 maides, and that ye wold I shuld 
 move hir grace in that behalf;" 
 she tells her ladyship that the king 
 will have no more maids " taken 
 in" until a vacancy occurs, but re- 
 conunends her to " Mother Lowe" 
 for assistance. {MS. Cud. Vesp, 
 F. xiii. f. 90.) Should this be the 
 same lady as above, her Christian 
 name was Frances; and her hus- 
 band was John Basset, who appears 
 as one of the council in the Marches 
 of Wales in 1551. There was a 
 Mr. Basset, one of the gentlemen 
 of the privy chamber to Queen 
 Mary, buried Nov. 26, 1558 (il/S. 
 Colt. Vit. f. v., f.95), but whether 
 the husband of the above lady, is

 she writes: — "Touching the no- 
 mination of such women as I would 
 have about me, surely, Mr. Secre- 
 tary, what men or women soever 
 the king's highness shall appoint 
 to wait on me, without exception 
 shall be unto me right heartily 
 welcome; albeit, to express my 
 mind to you whom I think worthy 
 to be accepted for their faithful 
 service done to the king's majestie 
 and to me, sythens they came into 
 my company, I promise you on 
 my faith, Margery Baynton and 
 Susan Clai-encijus have in every 
 condition used themselves as faith- 
 fully, painfully, and diligently as 
 ever did woman." — Syllog. Epp.

 Justice of the Common Pleas ; and 
 secondly to Isabel, daughter of 
 Sir John Leigh, of Stockwell, co. 
 Sm-rey. The latter is probably 
 the one mentioned in the above 
 pages ; for in 1 540, Sir Edward 
 Baynton, and his wife Isabel, ob- 
 tained a grant from the crown of 
 the Manor of Scarleigh, co. Wilts.

 he had two sons ; and secondly, 
 to Anne, daughter of Sir Edw.

 to a good wife." He was remark- 
 able for being so elegant a dancer, 
 that at Mary's coronation the Spa- 
 niards '• were greatly out of coun- 
 tenance" at being surpassed. He 
 was subsequently accused of plot- 
 ting against the government, and 
 in 1556 was put into the Tower; 
 but through the interest of Mrs. 
 Clarentius, and others, Lady Bray 
 obtained the Queen's favour for 
 him. She was much pitied by 
 Mary, who said earncst/i/, "that 
 God sent oftentimes to good wo- 
 men bad husbands ;" and we may 
 believe this to express the Queen's 
 own feelings at the treatment she 
 had received from the cold-blooded 
 Philip. Lord Bray died on 18 
 Nov., 1557; and his widow mar- 
 ried, secondly, Thomas, Lord

 The same person is meant, whether

 to Henry VIII. Hall calls him 
 " a goodly gentleman and aconily

 his portrait in the large picture by 
 Holbein, formerly at Cowdray 
 House. He was twice married : 
 first to Alice, daughter of Sir John 
 Gage, who died 31 March, 1540; 
 and secondlj^ to the Lady Eliza- 
 beth Gan-et, daughter of the Earl 
 of Kildare (the Fair GeraUline of 
 Lord Siurey), who survived him, 
 and was afterwards married to 
 Edward, Earl of Lincoln. Sir 
 Anthony died 6 May, 1548. See

 to Secretary Cromwell, in 1536, 
 concerning the appointment of her 
 establishment, she writes, " One 
 other there is, that was sometime 
 my maid, whom for her vertu I 
 love, and could be glad to have in 
 my company, that is Mary Brown,

 It seems to have been an esta- 
 blished practice to give at certain 
 periods a buck to the servants or 
 dependants of the royal house- 
 hold, with an accustomed gratuity, 
 at the same time, to pay for the 
 feast or wine. We find an instance 
 of this in the Household Expenses 
 of Henrj' VII., July 25, 1504. 
 " Itm', to the gentylmen of tlie 
 king's chapell for to drinke to' a 
 bticke, 40s." And a similar entry 
 occm's in Henry the Eighth's Pri- 
 vate Expenses, p. 156, respecting 
 the meaning of which the editor 
 need not have felt any difficulty. —

 In the household roll of 1533, 
 Simon Burton occms as one of the 
 gentlemen waiters, with an at- 
 tendant ; and his name is also 
 found on the list of 1536-7, among 
 the geniijlmen. From the King's 
 " Book of Payments" it appears 
 that a person of this name received 
 a quarterly payment of 50s. and 
 in the MS. in the possession of Sir 
 Thomas Phillipps, Bart, he is called 
 " pleyour on the virgynalles." Qy.

 clerk of the stable, with one attend- 
 ant, a salary of 7\d. per diem, and 
 a gratuity of 100s. per annum. He 
 is omitted in the roll of 1536-7, 
 and therefore was not at that pe- 
 riod on the Princess's establish-

 The individual above alluded to 
 maybe Dr. William Butts, or Butt, 
 one of the most celebrated medical 
 practitioners of the period, and one 
 of the founders of the College of 
 Physicians. He was much fa- 
 voured by Henry the Eighth, and 
 appointed by him medical attend- 
 ant to the young Duke of Rich- 
 mond, with a salar\' of 20/. per 
 annum. {MS. Har'l. 6807.) He 
 was also sent by Henry to Wolsey, 
 when the Cardinal was sick. His 
 name occurs as one of the physi- 
 cians who attended Queen Jane 
 Sejmour, and signed the certiiicate 
 of her danger. (MS. Colt. Nero, 
 C. X.) As physician to the king he 
 received a salary of 100/. per ann. 
 {MS. Nor/. 97) ; and on the 10th 
 Nov. 1529, an annuity of forty 
 marks was granted to him, charged 
 on the manors of Acton, Royden, 
 and Weston, in Suffolk. ( Rijiner's 
 Cul/ect. vol. iv., MS. Add. 4622.) 
 Some specimens of his skill may 
 be found in MS. Sloane 1017. 
 
 He died in 154.'), and was buried 
 at Fulham. His wife is included 
 among the Princess's Ladies and 
 Gentlewomen in the Household 
 List of 1533.

 of Cauutorburie and the Duke of

 In a collection of poems written 
 in the early part of the 1 4th cen- 
 tury, by \Vill. de Schoreham, vicar 
 of Chart, Kent, it often occurs.

 De 7 Sacramenlis. 
 From many passages in MS. Add. 
 6113, in the Brit. Mus., it appears 
 that the confirmation generally 
 took place at the high altar, im- 
 mediately after the ceremony of 
 christening at the font. 
 
 The verb to Bishop is still pre- 
 served in Norfolk and Suffolk. 
 " It is chiefly used," says Forby, 
 " in the part, pass., and so it was 
 in the Saxon, biscopod, confirma- 
 tus." — Focab. East Angl.

 Caffa, paid for a yard of crimson,

 The price of the above was 12*. 
 a yard, doubtless on account of the 
 colour ; for the white caffa, as we 
 learn from the Privy Purse Ex- 
 penses of Hen. FIJI, was sold for 
 7s. a yard, p. 1 34. In what respects 
 this stuff diiFered from damask 
 and taffeta (as would appear from 
 Cavendish, vol. i. p. 182), it is dif- 
 ficult precisely to say ; nor does 
 Nares here at all assist our in- 
 quiries. Its material, however, 
 appears to have been silk, and its 
 distinctive mark ome peculiar 
 preparation in the loom, for in an 
 inventory of silks and velvets taken 
 at this period, in MS. Cott. Add. 
 xxviii. I find mention of white, 
 black, and russet caffa damask, 
 and crimson caffa diaper.

 The above lady was probably Jane, 
 daughter of John Blenerhasset, 
 Esq., and second wife of Sir Philip 
 Calthrop, who, in 1525, held the 
 
 situation of vice-chamberlain to the 
 Princess, when in Wales. — MS.

 Candlemas Day, taper offered

 58, 109. 
 This day (Feb. 2nd) is a high feast 
 in the Catholic Calendar, as the 
 commemoration of the Virgin's 
 Purification. The custom of offer- 
 ing tapers is thus alluded to by 
 Barnaby Googe : — 
 " Then numbers great of tapers 
 large, 
 Both men and women beare 
 To church, being halowed there 
 with pomp ; 
 And dreadful words to heare. 
 Tliis done, eche man liis caudell 
 lightes. 
 Where chiefest seemeth he 
 Whose taper greatest may be seene 
 
 And fortunate to be," &c. 
 King Edward VI. caused a procla- 
 mation to be set forth, that no man 
 should be imprisoned for neglecting 
 to bear a candle upon Candlemas 
 day, not creeping to the cros.s, &c. 
 It is a relic of the old Pagan cere- 
 mony observed on the Lupercalia.

 him, in the way of charity, to be 
 good lord to the Prior of the 
 Charter- House, "which is as ho- 
 nest a man as ever was in that

 Called also the Kind's Children 
 and King's Bui/s. This part 
 of the Roj-al Establishment ex- 
 isted at an early period ; for in the 
 Liber Niger of Edw. IV., we find 
 very particular rules relative to its 
 government. The number of Chil- 
 dren (or, as we should now term 
 them, Choristers) was then eight, 
 who were found in apparel by 
 the King's Cofferer, and had a 
 " Master of Song " appointed by 
 the Dean to teach them music. 
 '•' Thus Children eate in the Hall 
 dayly, at the Chapel board, uexte 
 the Yeomane of vestery ; tak- 
 ing amongeste them for lyverye 
 
 day lye for brekefaste and all nighte, 
 two loves, one messe of greate 
 meate, ij galones ale ; and for 
 wintereseasone, iiij candles p'iche, 
 iij talsheids, and lyttere for their 
 pallets, of the Serjante Usher, and 
 carryadge of the King's coste for 
 the competente beddynge, bv the 
 oversyghte of the Comptroller." 
 They were allowed one servant 
 between them all, whose business 
 it was to " truss " their " harnesse 
 and lyverye "' in court ; and on the 
 removal of the Chapel, each of the 
 Children received id. daily for 
 horse-hire, as lon^,' as they were 
 en route. This practice of taking 
 the Children on a Progress ex- 
 plains the payments made to them 
 at Bedington, Dunstable, &c. 
 " And when any of these Children 
 coniene to xviij yeares of age, and 
 their voyces change, ne cannot be 
 preferred in this Chapelle, the 
 uombere being fidl, then yf they 
 will asseute, the King assynethe 
 them to a College of Oxeford or 
 Cambridge of his foundation, tliere 
 to be at fyndyng and studye bothe 
 suflfycyently, tylle the King may 
 otherwise aduance them." 
 
 We may hence, perhaps, ac- 
 count for the mention of the King's 
 Scholars at the Universities. In 
 the Household Book of Henry VH., 
 Dec. 31, 1503, I find an entry, 
 "Item, to the Children of the 
 Kinges Chapell for singing of 
 Gloria in eicelsis, 40* " And the 
 same entry occurs ui the Household 
 Books of Henry VUl. In the 
 King's '"• Bookof Payments," Feb. 
 1538, the monthly sum allowed for 
 the board wages of the Children of 
 the Chapel amounts to 26s. 8(/., 
 and on Christmas Day, the same 
 year, is the following item : '• Mr. 
 Crane, for plaing w' the Children

 Thomas Tonge, Clarcnceux King 
 of Arms. She is one of the 
 three attendants recommended 
 strongly by the Princess, in her 
 letter to ('romwell, for a place in 
 her Establishment; and we accord- 
 ingly find her included, in the Roll 
 of 15-36-7, among the four "Gen- 
 tj'Uwomen" in attendance. The 
 Princess appears to have had a 
 great partiality for this Lady, and 
 evinced it by many marks of her 
 favour after she became Queen. 
 Among those who rode on horse- 
 back, in crimson velvet, at Marj^'s 
 Coronation, were Lady Mansel, 
 Lady Kempe, Lady Clarentius, 
 Mrs. Finch, and others ; all of 
 whom we find repeatedly noticed 
 in the present volume. She was 
 soon afterwards appointed Lady- 
 Almouess, and First Lady of the 
 Bedchamber ; and in the Roll of 
 New Year's Gifts, 1556, presents to 
 the Queen "in a litell cherj'bagge

 Rep. iv. p. 651. She survived the 
 Queen, and attended her funeral ; 
 alter which she went abroad, but 
 was peremptorily recalled by Queen 
 Elizabeth. Camden calls her " a 
 little old woman, which had been 
 very inward with Queen Mary." 
 Her death took place in or before 
 1566. See Nobles Hist, of the 
 Coll. of Arms, p. 116, for a more 
 particular account of the grants 
 of land received by this lady from 
 the Crown, during the reigns of 
 Edward VI. and Mary.

 The history of Henry's marriage 
 with this ill-treated Lady, whom he 
 so uncoiurteously styled his - Flan- 
 ders mare," is too well known to 
 need any recapltidation. To those 
 who are curious as to her personal 
 appearance, the description given 
 by Dr. Wotton to the King, and 
 printed in Ellis's Orig. Lett., vol. 
 ii.f p. 121, will prove of great in- 
 terest. Her portrait was painted 
 by Holbein, and is still preserved. 
 She landed at Deal on Dec. 27, 
 1339, and the marriage was solem- 
 nized on the 6th Jan. following. 
 Just six months afterwards, July 
 9, 1540, the match was declared 
 null and void, and the Lady Anne 
 of Cleves (by which title she was 
 subsequently called) retired on the 
 pension of .'JOOO/. per auuum, al- 
 
 lowed her by the tyrant monarch. 
 Richmond was among the Estates 
 settled on her at that period, and 
 here she appears to have frequently 
 resided. 
 
 These accounts present many 
 proofs of the most friendly inter- 
 course between the Princess and the 
 Lady Anne, and a sense of their 
 mutual wrongs contributed, doubt- 
 less, to this cordiality. The latter 
 survived to see Queen Mary ascend 
 the throne, and for some years after- 
 wards. She died at Chelsea, 16th 
 J\dy, 1557 ; and her Will, with a 
 long and curious description of 
 her Funeral, are printed in the 
 Excerpta Historica, p. 293.

 There can be little doubt, that by 
 the term clock, we are often to un- 
 derstand the more modern one of 
 watch. In Henry^s Private Ex- 
 penses, p. 161, this is defined by 
 being called " a clock in a case 
 of gold,'' for which the sum of 
 10/. 10s. is paid ; a large sum, con- 
 sidering the value of money at that 
 period. On these occasions. Fo- 
 reigners seem to have been chiefly 
 employed. See Quenoy and Cur- 
 CEAN, in Index to Privy Purse 
 Expenses of Hen. VHl.

 38s. Cloth of silver sells in March 
 1538 for 40s. a yard, and some- 
 what higher in Jan. 1 539-40. The 
 variation in price probably de- 
 pended on the richness of the ma- 
 terial.

 who had the courage to tell his 
 master of his approaching death ; 
 and was named one of the Execu- 
 tors in Henry's Will, and in the 
 next reign made a Privy Coun- 
 cillor. He was a schoollellow of 
 Leland's, who, in his Enco??iia, ad-

 in a letter to Cromwell, after thank- 
 inghim for his favoursto her friends 
 and servants, adds, " amonge the 
 whiche your late goodness shewed 
 to mj' servant Randal Dod, is so 
 thankfuU to me that I accompte 
 it dune to my selfe." In another 
 letter addressed to her Father, she 
 says she has sent " mine old ser- 
 vant Randal Dod, in lieu of a token, 
 to present vntoyoiurMaiestie these 
 my rude letters ;" and in a third to 
 Lord Wriothesley, she thanks him 
 for treating Randal Dod well. — 
 Heai-ne, Syll. Epp. pp. 123, 131, 
 134. In conformity with the kind- 
 ness shewn by the Princess to every 
 individual of her Household, on 
 her accession to the throne, she 
 appointed Dod Sergeant of her 
 Cellar, and his name appears in 
 the Roll of New Years gifts, 1556, 
 as receiving part of " a guilt cruse," 
 as a free gift. He died the follow- 
 ing j-ear, and was buried 29 Sept. 
 1557, in St. Botolph's Church,

 The daughter of Archibald Doug-

 ret, eldest sister of Henry VIII. 
 
 She married in 1544, Matthew 
 Stuart, Earl of Lenox, by whom she 
 was mother to Lord Darnley, father 
 of King James I. " She was," says 
 the historian Camden, " a matron 
 of singular piety, patience, and 
 modesty ; who was thrice cast into 
 the Tower (as I have heard her say 
 herself) not for any crime of trea- 
 son, but for love matters ; first, 
 when Thomas Howard, son of 
 Thos. Howard the first Duke of 
 Norfolk of that name, falling in 
 love with her, died in the Tower of 
 London ; then for the love of 
 Henry, Lord Darnley, her son, to 
 Mary Queen of Scots ; and lastly, 
 for the love of Charles, her 
 younger son, to Elizabeth Caven- 
 dish, mother to the Lady Ara- 
 bella."_H!4Y. Eliz. p. 227. Her 
 health seems to have suffered con- 
 siderably (she was only then 22 
 years of age) from the severity of 
 her firbt imprisonment, for in the 
 King's " Book of Payments," oc- 
 curs the following entry, f 6.b 
 " Item paide to Thom's Ashe poti-

 at Hackney, in 1577, (Murdin's 
 Slate Papers, p. 542,) having sur- 
 vived eight children, and left her 
 affairs so involved, that Queen 
 Elizabeth paid the expenses of her

 The public life of this great but 
 ambitious man, who is teniied by 
 Haywood, for feats of arras, " the 
 minion of his time," is too well 
 known to require comment here. 
 He was knighted by the Duke of 
 Suffolk in 13-23; created Viscount 
 Lisle, March 12, 1542; Lord High 
 Admiral, Jan. 27, 1543-4 ; Earl of 
 Warwick, 17th Feb. 1347; and 
 Duke of Northumberland, 11th 
 Oct. 1551. He closed his career 
 on the scaffold, Aug. 22, 1553. His 
 wife was Jane, daughter of Sir 
 Edward Guildford, knight, and 
 mother to Lord Guildford Dudley, 
 and twelve other children. We do 
 not find in his biographers any 
 mention of his visit to Spain, from 
 whence he seems to have brought 
 back, as a present &om a Duchess 
 to the Princess Mary, ten pair of 
 Spanish gloves. See Lord Admi- 
 ral, Lysle, and Warwick.

 A long and interesting auto-biogra-

 Cromwell, printed in Ellis's Oy-ig. 
 Lett. vol. ii. p. 113. His " Dic- 
 tionary" and " Governour" are the 
 best known of his writings, but he 
 was also the author of a medical 
 treatise, entitled " The Castell of 
 Health," and of a work in Latin, 
 called " The Defence of Good 
 Women," which, says Fuller, in a 
 tone of irony, " are hardly found, 
 and easihj defended."

 lude plejjprs," on a warrant dated 
 14 Feb. 1538-9. From an account 
 also of the Treasurer of the Cham- 
 ber to Queen Elizabeth, it appears 
 that she retained four " Enterlude 
 Playors" on her Household, who 
 received each 3/. 6«. Sd. per annum

 The above entries are sufficient io 
 refute the idle assertion, that per- 
 funaes were first introduced into 
 this country from Italy, in the 
 reign of Elizabeth, by Edward 
 ^'ere, Earl of Oxford. But to 
 those who would wish to compare 
 the toilet of a man of fashion of the 
 16th century, with that of an Ex- 
 quisite of the present day, the fol- 
 lowing extract may perhaps be uot 
 unacceptable. " K. Henry the 
 eighth his Perfume. Of com- 
 pound-water take six spoonfuls, as 
 much of Rose-water, a quarter 
 of an ounce of fine Sugar, two 
 grains of Musk, two grains of Am- 
 ber-grease, two of Civet ; boyl it 
 softly together: all the house will 
 smell of cloves." — A Closet for 
 Ladies, &c., 12mo, 1654, p. 62. 
 And in a similar work, called The 
 Accomp/isht Lady's Delight, 12mo, 
 1684, we find, p. 13, " King 
 Edward's [VI.] Perfume, to 
 make your house smell like rose- 
 mary. The Fuming-hox was 
 what we should now call a Pastille- 
 burner, and was used, doubtless, 
 in the same way. In Henry VIII. 's

 rated among the articles in his 
 " secrete studie," f. 116, "a boxe

 From the entries at pp. 43 and 
 ] 75, we may infer that it was Ijy 
 this person the j^reater part of the 
 present Accounts were kept and 
 written. Her name, however, does 
 not appear on any of the House- 
 hold Lists, unless she were sub- 
 sequently married, and her maiden 
 name only entered. Be tliis as it 
 may, she stood very high in her 
 Mistress's favor, as we may infer 
 from her having the custody of the 
 Jewels, and also from her being 
 one of the Gentlewomen who rode 
 on horseback at Mary's Corona- 
 tion, dressed in crimson satin. In 
 1556 her name appears in the Roll 
 of New Year's gifts, immediately 
 after that of Mrs. Clarencius, and 
 she presents " in a red satten purse 
 6/. in haulf soveraignes." We are 
 informed by S.rype, ]Mem. iii. 1, 
 149, that Alyngton Castle, and 
 other lauds in Kent, part of the 
 confiscated property of Thomas, 
 Lord Grey, were granted by lease

 The Princess seems to have been 
 very partial to a residence here, 
 and retained this preference after 
 she became Queen, which may 
 partly have arisen from the circum- 
 stance of herself, and her father 
 Henrj- VIII., having been born at 
 this manor. Her present to the 
 Friars of Greenwich is easily ac- 
 counted for. They had especially 
 adhered to Queen Catherine, 
 Mary's mother, during the period 
 of her divorce, and one of them, 
 named Peto (who afterwards be- 
 came Queen Mary's Confessor), is 
 said by Strype to have " bearded 
 the Kuig in his chapel." (^le?/!. 
 i. 1, 257, and App. No. 47.) In 
 consequence, they soon felt the 
 weight of Henry's displeasure, and 
 Aufj. 2, 1533 their house was dis- 
 solved. On Marj-'s accession to 
 the throne, she re- established the 
 monaster)', and shewed them many 
 marks of favour ; among which, in 
 1556, is recorded the present of 
 " oone pix parcell guilte." But at 
 the death of the Queen the Friars 
 were again expelled, and finally 
 quitted their abode, June 12, 1559.

 The practice of keeping Grey- 
 houuds for the purpose of coursing, 
 as part of the Royal Leash, seems 
 to have been very usual, and we 
 know that both Henry VII. and 
 VIII. paid particular attention to 
 tliis breed of dogs. But that a 
 separate kennel and keeper should 
 have been maintained by the 
 Princess, would authorise us to 
 infer in her a fondness for the 
 chace, she has hitherto been scarcely 
 known to possess. And it may not 
 be here irrelevant to notice a whim- 
 sical error in the Index to the Privy 
 Purse Expenses of Henry Vlll. 
 where the term " chast grej^- 
 hounds" is understood literally, 
 and the Editor gi-avely wiites, 
 " That certain part of the grey- 
 hounds should be confined to per- 
 petual chastity, is not a little cu- 
 rious," &c., whereas the term is 
 derived immediately from the 
 French chastier, and simply means 
 trained— broke?! in. Thus, in the 
 Romance of Sir Tristrem, we read, 
 p. 153, 
 
 " In that forest fede, 
 Tristrem Hodaingan c/iast" — 
 
 —certainly not to teach his hound 
 the advantage of chastity, but to 
 train him to the chace. And since 
 we are on the subject of dogs, I 
 may venture to question the cor- 
 rectness of another passage in the 
 Index above referred to, in which, 
 
 under the name of Sir William 
 Pickering, we are informed more 
 than once, that this individual, at 
 the age of sixteen, ran a race with 
 his own doff, and by getting the 
 better of his canine opponent, 
 won a bet of the King. Such an 
 unheard of performance would de- 
 serve, if true, to be commemorated 
 for ever, by Pierce Egan, in the 
 Annals of Sporting ; but on turn- 
 ing to the page refen-ed to for this 
 incident, it appears thus : — Paied 
 to Sir W. Pykering for a course 
 that he wanne of the Kinge's 
 Grace, in Eltham Parke, ayensi his 
 ^ogge, jd. s." and the course is 
 evidently to be understood of the 
 King's dog against one of Sir 
 William's.

 Sir Thomas Henueage, Knt., one 
 of the gentlemen of the Privy 
 Chamber to Henrv VIII., and 
 knighted on the 18th Oct. 1537. 
 He was the son of William Hen- 
 neage (another statement says 
 John Henneage) of Hinton, co. 
 Line, and married Catherine, 
 
 daughter of Sir John Skipwith, 
 Knt. of Ormesby, by whom he had 
 one daughter, Elizabeth, married 
 to William, Lord Willoughby of 
 Parham.— See MSS. Harl. 1550 
 and 1436. From the same Pedi- 
 gree he appears to have been uncle 
 to the Sir Thomas Henneage, 
 Vice-Chamberlain and Treasurer 
 of the Chamber to Queen EUza- 
 beth, who died 17th Oct. 1594, and 
 brother to Robert Henneage, also 
 of the Privy Chamber, whose death 
 took place on July 28th, 1556, and 
 whose funeral is recorded in MS. 
 Colt. Fit. F. V. f. 58., but he is 
 there erroneously called Thomas. 
 The first Sir Thomas, above-men- 
 tioned, expired on the 22d Aug., 
 1553, as appears from Cole's 
 Escheats, vol. iii. 30. See also 
 the same work, vol. i. 475, vol. iv.

 ton's Will, in Testam. Vetust. vol. ii. 
 Hence may be corrected the con- 
 jecture offered in the Index to the 
 Pr. P. Exp. of Henry Fill., touch- 
 ing the above pedigree.

 This tenn is still preserved in the

 persons seem to have been ordi- 
 nary attendants, not only on the 
 Monarch, but on Noblemen of the 
 higher class. Thus, Wolsey, who 
 equalled or surpassed the royal 
 household in the extent of his own, 
 when he left London in 1526, had 
 " his harbingers passing before to 
 provide lodging for his train."' — 
 Cavendish, vol. i. p. 87. The de- 
 rivation of the word is obvious.

 Lady Hertford appears to have

 this i'avom- had not decreased when 
 Maiy ascended the throne, for we 
 find among the first acts of her 
 reign, was the release of the above 
 Ladj', then Duchess of Somerset, 
 from the Tower, where she had 
 been confined since the death of 
 her husband. Of her sis daugh- 
 ters, the three eldest, Anne, Mar- 
 garet, and Jane, were celebrated 
 • by De Thou for their extraordi- 
 nary beauty. See farther under

 This can be no other than the fa- 
 cetious John Heywood, of prover- 
 bial, epigrammatic, and dramatic 
 celebrity. His ready wit and skill 
 in vocal and instrumental music 
 rendered him a great favourite 
 with Hemry the Eighth and Sir 
 Thomas More, and by the latter 
 he was introduced to the notice of 
 the Princess jMarj-, by whom he 
 was especially patronised, rather, 
 says Puttenhara, " for the mirth 
 and quickness of conceit than good 
 learning that was in him." In 
 the Book of Payments of Henry 
 
 nil., 1538-44, is a quarterly 
 allowance of 50s., to " John Hay- 
 wood, ployer on the virginals ;" 
 and in the Household Book of the 
 Princess Elizabeth, in 1533, a gra- 
 tuity of 30.S. to him. He enlivened, 
 writes Jones, (with that bitterness 
 of language no facts can warrant 
 and prejudice only can defend.) tlie 
 hours of " that glonviij bigoC 
 Queen Mary. This is an infer- 
 ence drawn from a passage in 
 AVarton, who writes, that when 
 Marj' came to the throne, Hey- 
 wood was in higher favour than 
 ever, and admitted to the most 
 intimate conversation, on account 
 of his talent of telling diverting 
 stories, which served to amuse her 
 painful hours, even when languish- 
 ing on her death-bed. A great 
 proof this, certainly, both of gloomi- 
 ness and bigotiy '. It was the same 
 person, who, according to Stowe, 
 on the coronation of Marj', " in 
 Paul's churchyard, sate in a Pa- 
 geant under a vine, and made to 
 her an oration in Latine and Eng- 
 Ush."— .-iww. Ed. 1617, p. 617. 
 IMost of the Interludes wTitten by 
 him had appeared in print in 1333; 
 and we may conjecture that the one 
 played by himself and children 
 (who were, probably, his scholars) 
 before the Princess, was selected 
 from them. The free manner, 
 however, in which the abuses of 
 Catholicism are ridiculed by him 
 in these productions will render it 
 still greater matter of surprise, how 
 the " bigot" could Hsten to, and 
 even be amused by his performance. 
 His lines on lumself are well 
 known : 
 
 " Art thou Heywood, with the 
 mad mery wit ?" &c. 
 
 A full length wood-cut of him is 
 prefixed to his work, called " The 
 Parable of the Spider and the 
 Ely," by which the curious may 
 be gratified. On the accession of 
 Elizabeth, he left England, and 
 retired to Mechlin, in Brabant, 
 where he died in l>i65, leaving 
 several children, of whom Jasper 
 Hepvood subsequently distinguish- 
 ed himself as an author.

 The practice of keeping a female 
 fool was not confined to thi.s 
 countiy, as appears from Mr. 
 Douce' s very curious and valuable 
 Essay on the subject, in which are 
 engraven three different examples 
 of the attire worn by them. Yet 
 the instances in which a female 
 was so employed seem to have 
 been very rare, probabl}' (if we 
 may indulge in a compliment^ 
 from the difficulty of meeting with 
 cue of the fairer se.v who was silly 
 enough to undertake the office ; 
 and we believe the above name is 
 the only one on reci.rd of a female 
 fool maintained on the same foot- 
 ing as the Coiirt Jesters are well 
 known to have been. In all pro- 
 bability, this very person is intended 
 to be represented in the interesting 
 paii.ting by Holbein, of Henry 
 VHI. and liis famil}-, v.'hicii for- 
 merly ornameutetl the meeting- 
 room of the Society of Anticpiaries, 
 at Somerset House, and which is 
 now at ^Yindsor: and it is to le 
 regretted, that no engraving should 
 liave ever been made from it. 
 Mention also of the same person- 
 age occurs in the Roll of Xew 
 Years Gifts made by the Queen, 
 in 1556, in which we read: — 
 " Gevou to a woman dwelling at 
 Burye, for healing June the Foole 
 her eye, ooue guilt salte with a 
 cover," and " To iMaistres Ayer, 
 for keping the saide Jane during 
 the tyme of the healing of her eye, 
 two guilt salts." {NicUols' Illustr.)

 Mrs. Jernyngham was one of the

 These entries, as well as those un- 
 der the names of Christopher, Dr. 
 Michael, and Dr. Owen, sufficiently 
 prove the habitual ill state of health 
 of the Princess, and the attacks 
 which are alluded to in a letter 
 from the Princess Elizabeth, under . 
 the title of Mary's " old guest ;" 
 and may serve rationally and cha- 
 ritably to account for the occa- 
 
 sional heaviness or even asperity 
 of temper showed at a later period 
 of her life. The above individual 
 was John de Sodo, probably a 
 Spaniard by nation, and who 
 seems to be the person named by 
 Catherine of Arragon in her Will 
 as " Mr. John, mine Apothecary.' ' 
 —MS. Cott. Tit. C. vii. f 44. His 
 name occurs in the Privy Purse 
 Expenses of Henry Fill., p. 147 ; 
 and in Rymer, xiv. 578, is his ap- 
 pointment, dated 29th Jan. 1 537, as 
 Apothecary to the Princess, " pro 
 meliori cura et consideratione sani- 
 tatis suae," with a salary of 40 
 marks per annum. With this 
 agree the entries in the King's 
 " Book of Payments," 1539, where 
 he is entered as "Policaiy to the 
 lady Mary," and a quarterly al- 
 lowance of 6/. \2s.Ad. is paid to 
 him. What became of him sub- 
 sequently the Editor has not been 
 able to trace.

 geant-painter to Henry VIII., or 
 Hans Holbein, both of whom are 
 stated to have painted the portrait 
 of the Princess. Some addili 'Oal 
 remarks on this subject will be 
 found in the Preface.

 attached to the Princess's House-

 the above items refer to the pay-

 chased for Mary's use. She was 
 also one of the Ladies who rode 
 in crimson velvet at Mary's Co- 
 ronation, and in 1536, offers as a 
 New Year's gift, "a faire purse 
 of silke and golde" with 10/. in 
 half sovereigns, and receives in 
 return '•' a guilte bolle and a cast- 
 ing bottell." Whether she was 
 the wife of Mr. Kempe of the 
 Privy Chamber, who was in such 
 favour with Queen Mary, as to be 
 sent with despatches to Philip to 
 concert his arrival in England, the 
 Editor is unable, with certainty, to

 with the King from his love of 
 martial exercises, in wliich, from

 cupied in 1533, as appears from 
 the Household List. As her name

 ble she was then dead. A Mr.

 &c., whence it is probable she and 
 her husband kept a small poultry

 great anticpiity, although its origin 
 is involved in total obscurity. 
 Shakspeare alludes to it in Ilrnrtj 
 r., Act v., Sc. 1 . Mr. Ellis, in his 
 amusing additions to Brand's 
 Popular Customs, quotes the fol- 
 lowing Epigram from the " Di- 
 verting Post" of 1705. 
 
 On St. David's Day. 
 "Why, on St. David's Day do 
 
 Welshmen seek 
 To beautify their hats with verdant 
 
 leek 
 Of nauseous smell? In honour 
 
 'tis, bur say, 
 ' Dulce et decor est pro patria.' — 
 Right, Sir, to die or fight it is, I 
 
 think, 
 But how is't dulce, when you for 
 
 it stink ?•' 
 This practice was countenanced by 
 our monarchs to a comparatively 
 recent period, for in the Post Boy 
 of ]March 4, 1701, we read, " Tlie 
 King was pleased last Saturday, 
 it being St. David's Day, to wear 
 a leak, out of respect to the 
 Welch."

 tion, printed in Siri/pe, Eccl.Mem. 
 i., 172, and El/is, ii., 7S, 2d ser. 
 In it she says, " My Lord, when 
 my Lady Mary's Grace was born,

 point me Lady Mastres, and made 
 me a Barones. And so I have 
 ben am .... to the children

 Manus Christi, for a box of, 65. 
 
 A species of lozenge. The follow- 
 ing receipt for making it is taken 
 from " The Treasury of commo- 
 dious Conceits," &c. [By J. P.] 
 12mo , Lond. 1:)SG. " Take halfe 
 a pound of white sugar, put ther- 
 to 4 ounces of rose water, seeth 
 them vpon a soft fire of coales til 
 the water be consumed, and the 
 sugar is become hard, then put 
 
 therin a quarter of an ounce of 
 y" powder of pearls, stir them wel 
 togither, put fur euery spoonfull a 
 peece of a leafe of golde cut of 
 purpose, cast them vpon a leaf of 
 white paper, anointed first with 
 oile of sweet almondes or sweet 
 butter for cleaning to." In " A 
 Closet for Ladies," &c. 1G54, the 
 above receipt is copied, but the 
 compiler adds, " cast it [on the 
 paper] according to art, that is, in 
 round gobbets, and so keep them." 
 Another treatise of the same kind, 
 called " The good Huswife's 
 Jewell," Lond. 1596, amplifies 
 this receipt, and directs also that 
 the composition should be made 
 into cakes, and gilded. The vir- 
 tues of this apparently simple pre- 
 paration, were supposed consider- 
 able ; and in " The Widdowes 
 Treasure," black letter, London, 
 1595, it is advised " to eate a 
 morninges the yolke of an eg^ 
 with Manus Christi, to preserve 
 nature." Its use is noticed by 
 Carew, in his Survey of Cornwall 
 (first printed in 1C03). Speaking 
 of the medical skill of the Parson 
 of St. Tue, he writes, " Mary, his 
 practice is somewhat strange and 
 varying from all others ; for though 
 now and then he use blood-letting, 
 and doe ordinarily minister Manus 
 Christi and such like cordials of 
 his owne compounding, yet mostly 
 for all diseases he prescribeth 
 milk," &c. p. CO. It seems to re- 
 semble very much what is now 
 called Manna.

 In Forbi/'s I'ocab. of East Anglia,

 with a receipt for making this 
 article, which has been very va- 
 riously explained. The principal 
 ingredients were almonds and 
 sugar. It was therefore much like 
 our macaroons, but made broad 
 and flat, cut into slices, and so 
 distributed to the guests. This 
 account will be found to agree with 
 Nares.

 the modern term of marim. But

 "Blind More," in the Privy Purse

 101, 187. And in the House- 
 hold Book of the Princess Elt- 
 zabelh, 1551, is a reward to 
 " More, the harper, 30s." He is 
 evidently a Welshman, and like 
 his Fellows Thomas Bo\vman and 
 Thomas Evans, were patronised 
 for the sake of their instrument 
 and country, which encourage- 
 ment, in the reign of Elizabeth, 
 was withdrawn from them. An-

 All these entries refer to presents

 Henry Parker, Lord Morley, son 
 of Sir William Parker, and Alice, 
 sister of Lovel, Lord Morley. He 
 died in Nov. 1556, and was buried 
 at Great Hallingburj^, in Essex. 
 His funeral is described in MS. 
 Cott., Vit. F. V. f. 63. He is well 
 known as an author and translator, 
 and the list of his writings (which 
 are numerous) is given in Walpole, 
 i., 314. Several of these are pre- 
 served with the Royal MSS. in the 
 British Museum, and among thum 
 
 may be noticed his translation of 
 two Epistles of Seneca (17 A. 
 xxx.), from the Dedication prefixed 
 to which we learn, that it was his 
 practice annually to present a book 
 of his own composition to the 
 Princess ; the translation of Tiio- 
 mas Aquinas on the Angelical 
 Salutation (I 7, C. xvi.), the version 
 of Angelo Poliziano's Latin text of 
 Athanasius on the Psalms (17. 
 C. xii.), and the translation of 
 Erasmns's Praise of the Virgin 
 (17, A, xlvi.). All the above are 
 dedicated to the Princess Mary, 
 and an address precedes each, in 
 which are some curious passages 
 relative to her own intellectual ac- 
 quirements. It is more than pro- 
 bable that the two last of these 
 volumes are the identical books 
 referred to in the preceding pages.

 Morres, , Groom of the

 Morris, present to some persons 
 
 dancing a, before the Princess, 
 
 in May, 68. 
 The nature of this dance, and its 
 introduction into England, have 
 been so ably illustrated by Mr. 
 Douce, in his curious Dissertation 
 on the subject, that little need here 
 be added. During the reigns of 
 Henry VIII.. Edward VI., Marj', 
 and Elizabeth, it was so popular 
 among the highest classes, that 
 scarcely a Pageant took place 
 without it, and it was represented 
 on articles of furniture and plate. 
 Thus, in an Inventory' of the Jewels 
 and Plate of Queen Elizabeth, 
 3IS. Harl. 1650, f. 12, b, is de- 
 scribed, — " Item oone Saulte of 
 golde, cauUed the Morice daunce, 
 having the fote garnished w' sixe 
 greate Saphers, fiftene course Dia- 
 moundes, thirtie and eight course 
 Rubyes, fourtie and two sinale gar-

 ing the Saulte ha\dng vpon her

 coincides exactly with Blount's 
 definition of the Morisco, but the 
 number of persons often varied. 
 Some spirited lines on the Jlorris 
 occur in '■ madrigalls to foure 
 Toyces," &c., by Thomas IVlorley, 
 4to., London, 1594, aud are re- 
 printed in the Brtt. Bihli'igr. i. 
 343. This dance is still kept up 
 in Oxfordshire, where it is danced 
 by eight men; and a fool with a 
 bladder at the end of a stick, keeps 
 off the spectators from approaching 
 too near. Every member of the 
 University must often have wit- 
 nessed it in the streets of Oxford, 
 and the Editor once saw a party 
 dance it, in the same manner, in 
 the streets of London.

 A Part let is usually defined to be

 but such description will not an- 
 swer to the following instances se- 
 lected from many others in the 
 Inventory of Henry VlII.'s House- 
 hold Stuff, MS. Hurl. 1419, B, 
 p. 406. " Item one partelett of 
 crimesen vellat w'oute sieves, all 
 over embrawderid with Venice golde 
 and silver, stiched w' purple silke, 
 lined with crimsen satten." In the 
 same MS. pt. i. f. 04, occurs " Itm' 
 xj. partlettes for women Canlle 
 fashion, of veanice golde, iiij of 
 them garuessbed with small' 
 peerles." In another Inventory, 
 MS. Hurl. 7376, f. i), is as follows, 
 
 " Item a partelet conteyninge a 
 collo' and slittes of golde gar- 
 nished with twentie and fyve dia- 
 mountes, fourtie and seven Rubies, 
 sixe Emeraldes, and ciiij^^. xv.

 these examples the Partlet evi- 
 dently appears to have been the 
 Corset or Habit-shirt, worn at the 
 period, and which so commonly 
 occurs in the portraits of the time, 
 generally made of velvet, and or- 
 namented with precious stones.

 of his reply to those who inquired 
 how he managed to serve four So- 
 vereigns, and yet continue in fa- 
 vour, is very characteristic : — 
 " Ortus sum ex sa/ice, nun ex

 in the Expenses of Henri/ nil., 
 but is not recognised by the Editor. 
 His real name was Philip Van 
 Wilder, and he occurs in the 
 "Book of Payments," 1538, as 
 receiving 66*. 8i^. a quarter. In 
 the Inventory of the King's Fur- 
 niture (.1/5. Hart. 1419, A. f.

 Stri/pe. From his being selected 
 as Preceptor on the lute to the 
 Princess, and the favour he enjoyed 
 at Court, his talents appear to have 
 been of a higher order than most 
 of the Musicians whose names are 
 set down in Henry the Eighth's 
 Band. 
 
 Philip, Duke, a cross of dia-

 by, 176. 
 
 Philip Bellicosus, or the Warlike ; 
 styled Palatine of the Rhine, and 
 Duke of Bavaria, brother- german 
 to Otho Henry, Count Palatine 
 and Elector. He was born in 
 1503, and distinguished himself 
 when Governor of Menna, by his 
 brave defence of that city against 
 the Turks, in 1529. He is men- 
 tioned by Hall among those nobles 
 who attended Anne of Cleves when 
 she landed in England in Dec. 
 1 539 ; and it was then, probably, the 
 contract of marriage was entered 
 into between him and the Princess 
 Man,', of which a copy may be 
 found in MS. Cott. Vit. c. xvi. f. 
 287, but which has been passed 
 over very brietly by our Historians. 
 It was on this occasion, doubtless, 
 that the diamond cross was pre- 
 sented by him to the Princess, 
 which afterwards (on the marriage 
 being broken off) was delivered up 
 by the King's commandment to 
 the Lord Chancellor.

 Tliis Prince was elected a Knight 
 of the Order of the Golden Fleece, 
 and died unmarried, 4th July,

 In all of the above instances, it is 
 described as attached to the girdle 
 of goldsmith's work which was 
 worn round the waist, and hiuig 
 often very low in front of the 
 wearer. We see it often repre- 
 sented in the portraits of the time, 
 and also on monumental etfigies. 
 The derivation is from Pomme 
 d'ambre, perfume ball, and its pur- 
 pose was equally adapted for orna- 
 ment as a locket, and also in lieu 
 of the modern vinaigrette. In the 
 " Treasuiy of Commodious Con- 
 ceits," 1586, is a receipt given 
 "To make a Pomander," which 
 may not, perhaps, be unacceptable. 
 Tlie ingredients were, first, benja- 
 min [benzoin], storax, calamite, 
 and labdauum, finely levigated, 
 and dissolved in a little rose-water 
 over the fire. The composition was 
 then taken out, and powder of cin- 
 namon, sweet Sanders, and cloves

 added to it, all of which were well 
 mixed and rubbed together. After 
 this, ambergris, musk, and civet, 
 of each three grains, were pre- 
 pared, the first being dissolved and 
 mingled with the other two. The 
 author then directs you " to take 
 your Pome," and by degrees to 
 gather up the three last ingredients, 
 kneading and mixing them well 
 with the ball, till they become per- 
 fectly incorporated with it. One 
 or two balls were then formed of 
 the lump, and for ordinarj' pur- 
 poses, a hole was merely made 
 through them, and they were sus- 
 pended from the bosom, wrist, or 
 girdle, but, on other occasions, 
 were inclosed within gold cases of 
 fillagree work, or enamelled, such 
 as the one presented to the Prin- 
 cess Elizabeth. The above is one

 A small pot, pipkin, or skillet, for

 probably derived from an obsolete

 early as the reign of Edward I., 
 and was continued down to the 
 middle of the last century. A heap 
 of references might be added, but 
 are considered unnecessary, as the 
 word is noticed in Nares. The 
 low price given for the above 
 article, \\d., admits of the natural 
 inference that it was a common 
 one of iron or tin. It was some- 
 times, however, made of silver, and 
 a description of several is inserted 
 among the " Kytchen Plate" be- 
 longing to Queen Elizabeth. —

 The birth of Prince Edward is

 ment in MS. Coit., Nero. C. x. to 
 have taken place at Hampton 
 Court, on Friday, 12th Oct. 1537, 
 about two o'clock in the morning 
 {Cf. MS. Add. 6113, f. 80) ; and 
 the ceremony of christening, at 
 which the Princess Marj' was God- 
 mother, was perfonned on the 
 Monday following, Oct. 15th. A 
 particular accoimt of the ceremony 
 may be found in the Add. MS. 
 6113, f. 80. The above items shew 
 very satisfactorily how friendly an 
 intercourse was kept up between 
 the Princess and the young heir- 
 apparent to the throne, nor does 
 the affection thus early formed, 
 appear ever to have changed on 
 her part, although, from the weak- 
 ness of the Prince's character, he 
 seems to have been persuaded, 
 when Sovereign, to act with a want 
 of feeling towards his sister, that 
 would be on any other account un- 
 intelligible.

 With what a total absence of feel- 
 inj- Prince Edward speaks in his 
 Journal of his mother's lamentable 
 fate, must appear surprising to 
 those who have not studied his 
 character attentively.

 This Lady is remarkable both for 
 her piety "and learning; and her 
 writings, which are chiefly of a 
 religious cast, have entitled her to 
 a nit-he in the Catalogue of Royal 
 Authors. Her conduct towards the 
 Princess appears to have been 
 kind and parental, as if willing to 
 soothe the sense of those injuries 
 Marj' had leeeived on her mother's 
 account. A letter from her to the 
 Princess is extant, on the subject 
 of a translation of the Paraphrase 
 of Erasmus on the Gospel of St. 
 John, which the latter had under- 
 taken and proceeded with, till sick- 
 ness compelled her to rehnquish 
 its completion to her Chaplain, 
 Dr. Mallet. In the British Museum 
 is extant, also, a small volume of 
 Prayers, translated from a collec- 
 tion made by Queen Catherine 
 Parr, into English, French, and 
 Italian hy the Princess Elizabeth, 
 and written in her own hand. This 
 is probably the volume seen by 
 Hentzner. As an instance, hitherto 
 unnoticed, of the favour shown by 
 this Queen towards the sentiments 
 of the reformers, may be quoted an 
 item in the Inventory of her effects, 
 taken after her death: "Item a 
 hooke of the newe testament in

 let, <rarnished w' siluer and gdte."

 addressed to Cromwell, is in Mr. 
 Ellis's Original Letters, ii., G7, in 
 which she calls herself " a desolat 
 wydow wythoute corafFott." Her 
 character appears to have been very 
 problematical, and she suffered the 
 same pimishment as her husband, 
 13th Feb. 1542, on accoimt of her 
 being implicated in the guilt of 
 Queen Catherine Howard.

 Undoubtedly the same person on 
 whose account the Princess, in a

 her thanks, and adds, "For al-

 because he was my mother's, and 
 is an honest man, as I think, I do 
 love him well, and would do him

 More properly called rock, and 
 sometimes roe/^^ rubies. This term 
 is derived from the Italians, who 
 thus designate a species of the 
 ruby thus described by Gabel- 
 chover, in his notes on Elpidianus, 
 p. 61 : " Tertia species [Granata- 
 rum] rubra est, in violae colorem 
 tendens. Hanc prpc cacteris per- 
 fectiurem arbitrant\ir, vnde Itali 
 rubuium de rocha vocant." Hence 
 may be illustrated a passage in 
 Laneham's Letter from Kenil- 
 worth, in 1575, which seems to 
 have perplexed the Editor of the 
 Profjresses. — " Under the cornish 
 again, every part beautifyed with 
 great diamonds, emerauds, rubyes, 
 and saphyres ; poj'uted, tabl'd, rok,

 Salisbury, Lady of, 9, 5L 
 
 Margaret, daughter of George, 
 Duke of Clarence, the hrother of 
 Edward IV., created Countess of 
 Salisbury in 1513. She was ap- 
 pointed Governess to the Princess 
 Mary by the particular direction of 
 Catharine of Arragon, and her 
 name appears on the Household 
 Rolls of 15'25 and 1533, as acting 
 in that capacity. At the period 
 when these Expenses commence, 
 the services of this Lady, with 
 those of tlie far larger portion of 
 Mary's household, had been dis- 
 pensed with, as will appear by re- 
 ferring to the list of attendants on 
 the Princess, drawn up in 1537. 
 This noble and venerable Lady, 
 " the last of the Plantagenets"," 
 married Sir Richard de la Pole, 
 Knight, by whom she was mother 
 of the famous Cardinal Pole, to 
 whom Mary, when Queen, \m- 
 doubtedly felt more than ordinary 
 deference and partiality, on ac- 
 count of the virtues and sufferings 
 of his parent. She was attainted 
 in 1539, together with the Mar- 
 chioness of Exeter, and after hav- 
 ing been kept prisoner in the 
 Tower nearly two years, was be- 
 headed on May 17, 1541, with 
 circumstances of peculiar cruelty, 
 at the age of seventy years juid 
 
 upwards ; an act so horrible, that 
 it would alone suflice to ju-ove 
 Henry the Eighth the greatest 
 monster that ever disfigured the 
 creation. The following items 
 copiitl from the " liook of Pay- 
 ments," f. 1S5, b. 18fi, (a» 1541), 
 relating to this unfortunate Lady 
 when in confinement, may not be 
 deemed uninteresting, as they are 
 hitherto unpublished. — " Item,

 and for charges of provision for one 
 year and a-half, 60*., and for pro- 
 vision of other necessaries for the 
 said Countess, GG*. 8(/., making a 
 total of VI!. lis. 2d. It is singu- 
 lar that the cost of apparel should 
 have approached so nearly to the 
 amount of every other necessary 
 article, including food, attendance, 
 &c., but we may conclude the poor 
 Countess had no great appetite, 
 and was content to take whatever 
 the liberality of the King allowed 
 her.

 scription of it, from which it ap- 
 pears to have been a species of 
 parsnip, " sweet, good to be eaten,

 is directed to be eaten with salt, vi- 
 negar and oil, hke a salad, or fried 
 in oil and butter, &c., and its quali- 
 ties, although" something windie,"

 At first, the individual here so

 the Editor to be Harry Gerard,

 cles he receives money for are of 
 a nature widely different from 
 shoes, viz. wine, oranges, cherries, 
 herbs, &c. ; and as he seems to 
 have received a quarterly payment, 
 it is now beUeved that Shoemaker 
 is here a proper name, and that 
 this person was employed by the 
 Princess, like many others, to pro- 
 vide articles for her table, without 
 actually belonging to her House-

 not seem to have been wholly laid 
 aside so late as the commence-

 piled from the /^//^e-Rolls, respect- 
 ing the quaUties and prices of 
 the wines imported into this king- 
 dom from the time of Henr}' II. 
 downwards ; and it might perhaps 
 be esteemed not the least curious 
 of those which have issued from 
 the press. With regard to the 
 period before us, there exists 
 among the Royal Rolls in the 
 British Museum, marked 14 B. 
 xsix., the original accompt of 
 Roger Basing, Purveyor, for such 
 sums of money as were expended 
 in the purchase of 152 tuns of 
 Gascoigue wine, bought at Bor- 
 deaux, the 20th Henry VIII. 
 (1528), and shipped to England 
 in the Rlinion and Mary Guild- 
 ford. As this accompt is curious 
 and inedited, an abstract of the 
 items may not, perhaps, be thought 
 
 irrelevant here : —

 INTRODUCTORY MEMOIR. 
 
 P. XXV. — " Sir Philip Calthrop and his wife held places 
 of honour near her person."] Some passages in the " State 
 Papers " recently published, serve to illustrate this. In a 
 letter from Pace to Wolsey, dated '24 July, 1521, the Car- 
 dinal is informed, that the King intended shortly to proceed 
 from Windsor to Easthampstead, and to pass his time in 
 the vicinity, in places which would afford no convenient 
 lodging for the Lady Princess. Wolsey is therefore desired 
 to look out for some lady who should be meet to give at- 
 tendance on her, and the Old Lady of Oxford [probably 
 Elizabeth, widow of John de Vere, Earl of Oxford] is sug- 
 gested as a fit person, but if she could not be brought 
 thereto, then the Lady Calthrop * schalbe meate for the 
 same rowme, and herre husband to be made Chambrelayne 
 to my sayde Lady Princes." W olsey's answer is dated the 
 following day, to say he has WTitten to the Lady of Oxford 
 on the subject, but fears she will not accept the appointment, 
 on account of her health. Nevertheless he recommends her 
 to be proved for a season, " to se howe she can do." The 
 Countess, however, declined, as the Cardinal anticipated, 
 and another letter from Pace, dated Guildford, 1st Sept., 
 states that Sir Philip Calthrop and his wife were come to 
 the Court, and had offered to serve the Princess, according 
 to his desire ; and in a third letter to the same, from Wind- 
 sor, 13th Oct., Pace requests the Cardinal Wolsey to write 
 to Sir P. Calthrop and his wife to be contented with 40L 
 per ann. for their fee, to the intent they might commence

 p. Ivii. — "Thomas a Kempis."] It has been suggested, 
 with great probability, by the publisher of this work, that 
 the conjecture of Burnet respecting the author of the tract 
 De Vita Christi, is erroneous, and that instead of Thomas a 
 Kempis we ought to attribute it to Bonaventura. 
 
 p. xcvi. — '* the final answer to France."] See the '* State 
 Papers,*" pp. 728, 732, for a minuter detail of this transaction, 
 as contained in a letter from the King to the Earl of South- 
 ampton and others, dated 1st May, 1542, and their answer 
 on the 3d May. 
 
 p. cxlii. — '^ rational pastime and mirth."] It is rather 
 curious to find a writer on the history of caricature, in speak- 
 ing of the very valuable Psalter presented to Mary by Bald- 
 win Smith, of London, in Oct. 1553, and the grotesque 
 illustrations accompanying it (all of which are of the early 
 part of ihe fourteenth century), indulge in so ridiculous a sup- 
 position, as that the Queen's '' inclination for absurdity and 
 caricature conquered even her religion !" — Malcolm, p. 18. 
 The above MS. is now in the British Museum, marked 
 2 B. vii., and is described by Dr. Dibdin, in his " Biblio- 
 graphical Decameron," vol. i. p. xcvii. There are various 
 other Missals belonging to Mary in existence. One in the 
 Bodleian Library, Auct. Arch, D. inf. 2, 13, curiously 
 illuminated, which subsequently belonged to Prince Henry, 
 and was presented to the Bodleian by Rich. Connock, Esq. 
 Auditor-General, in l6l5. Towards the end is a note, in 
 Mary's own hand-writing, when Princess, addressed to one 
 of her ladies, which is printed by Hearne, ad calc. Tit. Liv.

 Museum, 2 B. 15, folio, veil, saec, 15, bound in green

 mation of this assertion, see also a letter from Mary, when 
 Queen, to Lady Anne VValsingham, condoling affectionately 
 with her on the loss of her daughter. — Gents. Mag., vol. 
 Ixvii. 1087. 
 
 p. clxx. — " motto she adopted.'''] Another motto is said 
 to have been adopted by Mary, viz. " Pro ara et regni cus- 
 todia," with the device of a sword erect on an altar. On 
 one of her medals also is a vestal sacrificing at an altar, and 
 the Legend " Caste et suppliciter." With regard to the 
 badges assumed by her (the most characteristic of which is 
 engraven in the frontispiece of the present volume) see Wil- 
 lement's interesting volume on Regal Heraldry, p. 80, 4to., 
 1821. 
 
 p. clxxv. — The portrait of the Princess at Kensington 
 Palace was taken when she was an infant, at the age of 
 three years, and bears date 1518. In the same Collection 
 there is another portrait of her as Queen, stated to be a copy. 
 In addition, also, to the portraits of her when on the throne 
 may be mentioned a whole-length in St. James's Palace, 
 which had previously escaped the Editor's notice.
