Diary of Anne Clifford 1619. 13 May 1619. The 13th I was one of the mourners at the Queen’s funeral. I attended the corpse from Somerset House to the Abbey at Westminster. My Lord (age 30) was also one of the Earls that mourned. I went all the way hand in hand. with my Lady Lincoln after the sermon, and, all the ceremonies ended, my Lord (age 30), myself, and the Earl of Warwick and his Lady came home by barges, being come home I went to my Sister Beauchamp to shew her my mourning attire. At the funeral I met with my old Lady Pembroke and divers others of my acquaintance with whom I had much talk. My Coz. Clifford was also a mourner and bare the banner after the Lords. When all the company was gone and the Church door shut up the Dean of Westminster, the Prebends, Sir Edward Zouch, who was Knight Marshall, came up a private way and buried the corpse at the east end of Henry the 7th Chapel about 7 o’clock at night. There was 180 poor women mourners. I went to see Lord Hertford (which was the last time I ever saw him) in Channel Row and spake very earnestly in Wood’s behalf, but I could not prevail and his answer was that he would not pay any of his grandchildren’s debts after his death.

This night my Lord (age 30) made a great supper to two or three of the Frenchmen that came over with the embassador. After supper there was a play and then a banquet at which my Lady Penniston (age 19) and a great many of Lords and Ladies there.

Diary of Anne Clifford 1619. 27 Jul 1619. The 27th about this time my Lady Bedford (age 39) had the smallpox and had them in that extremity that she lost one of her eyes. About this time my Coz. Cilifford’s wife was brought to bed at Lanesboro of a son, which lived not seven hours and was christened Francis and was buried there. The same day Lord Rutland and Lady Kath. Manners came and dined here from the Wells and in the evening went to London.

Note. This Sunday my Coz. Oldworth was true and shewed those remembrances me which are to be set up at Cheyneys for my Great Grand Father of Bedford and my Grand Father of Bedford and my Aunt Warwick. About this time my Lady Law was married to Secretary Maunton.

All this Summer Lady Penniston (age 19) was at the Wells near Tunbridge drinking the waters. This coming hither of Lady Penniston's (age 19) was much talked of abroad and my Lord (age 30) was condemned for it.

Diary of Anne Clifford 1619. 28 Nov 1619. The 28th though I kept my chamber altogether yet methinks the time is not so tedious to me as when I used to be abroad.

About this time I received letters from Mr Davis by which I perceived how ill things were likely to go in Westmoreland especially with Mr Hilton and Michael Brunstall.¹

Note 1. About this time of my Lord's (age 30) being at London he kept a great table having a great company of Lords and gentlemen that used to dine with him.

All this winter my Lady Margaret’s speech was very ill so as strangers cannot understand her, besides she was so apt to take cold and so out of temper that it grieved me to think of it. I verily believe all these inconveniences proceed from some distemper in her head.

The 29th of November was the last time my Lord (age 30) came to my Lady Penniston’s (age 19) at her Mother’s lodgings in the Strand. The 30th my Lord and Lady Suffolk¹ came out of the Tower.
