Letters of the Court of James I 1618. [20th August 1618]. Sir George Calvert [aged 38] is lately gone to the court from the council here, at whose return we shall see what will become of him. His lady [[his wife] Anne Mynne] should have been committed to Sir Thomas Lowe's; but he excusing himself upon his many children, which, though they be married, live with him altogether in one family, she was permitted to keep her own house, with a strict guard set upon her and her little son, which some interpret to be lest she should convey away the wealth and jewels, which are thought to be more than perhaps will be found upon the upshot.

Diary of Anne Clifford. 15th February 1619. The 15th Sir Thomas Lake [aged 51], his Lady [aged 44], and Lady Ross [aged 19], were sent to the Tower [Map].
