Lady Wingfield told Cecil in September 1596 that she owed tradesmen £900, as she and her husband had lived on credit for the past seven years, and when she heard the news of her husband’s death she had ‘not one penny in the house to buy meat ... till her Majesty, most like a gracious sovereign, hearing of my misery, sent me £40’. She begged for an annuity, now ‘it hath pleased the Lord to lay his heavy cross upon me in taking my husband from me, who hath not only lost all his worldly substance in her Majesty’s service, but confirmed his faith and great desire he had to serve her Majesty with ending his life therein’. She got £100 p.a. for her own life, and that of her son Peregrine. History of Parliament.
