concerning Lord Beauchamp's escape: "My L[ords] of the Councell thought it good to referre it to hir ma[jesty]s pleasure what she wold haue done with him, who did order that he shold be [sequestered] into the custody of my L[ord] of Cantorburyis grace", also referring to the examination of Marsh, one leaf, folio, 31 x 20cm., 12 August, 1585, [?Nonesuch], signed Fra[ncis] Walsyegham
Footnote
Note: The Earl of Hertford's son, Lord Beauchamp, had secretly married Honora Rogers of Baynton in 1581, much to the Earl's displeasure. The feud led to the Earl seizing his son near Reading in 1585, whereupon both father and son appealed to Queen Elizabeth to rule in their favour; she however refused to settle the matter, the Earl of Hertford having displeased her by secretly marrying Catherine Grey, the younger sister of Jane Grey, in 1560, without asking her permission.
