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. Once I have no opinion of any great matter.
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].

It was censured on my Lady Exeter's side against them, who were fined great fines both to the King and her, there was spoken extraordinary foul matters of my Lady Ross and reports went that amongst others she lay with her own brother, so as their foul matters did double the miseries of my Lady Lettice [aged 30] Lake in her unfortunate marriage.

The History of William Marshal was commissioned by his son shortly after William’s death in 1219 to celebrate the Marshal’s remarkable life; it is an authentic, contemporary voice. The manuscript was discovered in 1861 by French historian Paul Meyer. Meyer published the manuscript in its original Anglo-French in 1891 in two books. This book is a line by line translation of the first of Meyer’s books; lines 1-10152. Book 1 of the History begins in 1139 and ends in 1194. It describes the events of the Anarchy, the role of William’s father John, John’s marriages, William’s childhood, his role as a hostage at the siege of Newbury, his injury and imprisonment in Poitou where he met Eleanor of Aquitaine and his life as a knight errant. It continues with the accusation against him of an improper relationship with Margaret, wife of Henry the Young King, his exile, and return, the death of Henry the Young King, the rebellion of Richard, the future King Richard I, war with France, the death of King Henry II, and the capture of King Richard, and the rebellion of John, the future King John. It ends with the release of King Richard and the death of John Marshal.
