On 22nd January 1592 Elisabeth of Austria Queen Consort France (age 37) died.
Life of Robert Dudley Appendix IV. Dudley imprisoned with the Earl of Essex 1602.
From a letter from London in February 1601 (or 1602 in the common style).
From a letter from London dated the 22nd of last month [22nd January 1601], they report that in London and at Court several upsets occurred because of the Earl of Essex, who had been confined for some time by the Queen's command in his house in London, and having been afterwards restored to his former freedom, continued to urge the Queen to get justice and reason from Lord Cecil, over the injury he claimed had been done to him by said Cecil. Since the Queen did not yield to his prayers and solicitations, but referred the matter to the decision of Parliament, the said Earl of Essex had undertaken to take revenge himself with the help of his friends. The Queen, having heard of this audacity, had expressly and under penalty ordered the said Earl not to take any action, and not to include in his company more than 80 gentlemen and servants while traveling or going to Court. Nonetheless, disregarding this command, the said Earl had gathered up to 1100 men, with whom he planned to show up in London and at Court. Hence, the Queen, warned of this recklessness, had her guards disperse these gathered men, and had the aforementioned Earl of Essex arrested along with Lords Dudley, Blount, and several others who were partisans of the said Earl. But until now, the cause of such disturbance has not been ascertained, and according to the ordinary talk of people, it is something newly and extraordinarily occurred, with different speculations about it among some saying that the noise was that the said Earl had some dealings with the King of Scotland, and others, with other designs.
Da una lettera di Londra del Febbraio 1601 (ossia 1602 alio stile comune).
Di Londra con letters delli 22 passato avvisano che in Londra et in Corte erano accadute alquante alienation! per cento del Milor d' Essex, il quale essendo stato alquanto tempo sequestrato per comandamento della Eegina nella sua casa in Londra, et rimesso dipoi nella pristina liberty, haveva continuato Yerso la Regina a sollecitare di voler haver giustitia et ragione del Lord Cial, sopra 1' ingiuria cbe pretendeya essergli fatta da detto Cial. Onde non movendosi la Regina a sue preghiere et sollicitationi, ma rimettendo il negotio alia decisione del Parlamento, il detto Conte d' Essex haveva intrapreso di fame vendetta per s6 stesso et con 1' aiuto de' suoi amici. II che inteso dalla Regina, haveva espressamente et sotto pena fatto dire a detto Conte di non muoversi in punto alcuno, et di non ammetter nella sua compagnia passando cammino overo andando in Corte piu de 80 gentilhuomini et servitori. Ma non ostante questo comandamento haveva detto Conte adunato insino a 1100 huomini, con i quali disegnava di ritrovarsi in Londra et in Corte. Onde la Regina avvertita di quella temerità, fece con quelli della sua guardia separar dette genti adunate, et fecero pregione il predetto Conte di Essex con li signori Dudley, Blount et alquanti altri che erano partigiani di detto Conte. Ma insin hora non s' h potuta sapere la causa di tale alterations, et secondo r ordinario delle genti e cosa nuovamente et straordinariamente avvenuta, parlandosi diversamente di questo fra alcuni con dirsi, che il romore fusse che detto Conte havesse qualche pratica col Re di Scotia, et altri, con altri disegni.

Diary of Anne Clifford. 22nd January 1617. Upon the 22nd the Child had her 6th fit of the ague in the morning. Mr Smith went up in the coach to London to my Lord (age 27) to whom I wrote a letter to let him know in what case the Child was and to give him humble thanks for his noble usage towards me at London. The same day my Lord came down to Knole to see the Child.
Diary of Anne Clifford. 22nd January 1619. The 22nd here supped with me my Sisters Sackville and Beauchamp, Bess Neville, Tom Glenham, and my Brother Compton and his wife. I brought them to sup here on purpose hoping to make them friends.
Note. My Lord (age 29) came into my room and told me the news of my Sister Beauchamp's child's death. About this time my Sister Compton was reconciled to her husband and went to his house in Finch Lane, where they stayed ten or twelve days and then he brought her into the country to Bramble- tye.
On 22nd January 1621 John Ramsay 1st Earl Holderness (age 41) was created 1st Earl Holderness by King James I (age 54).
John Evelyn's Diary. 22nd January 1649. The villany of the rebels proceeding now so far as to try, condemn, and murder our excellent King (age 48) on the 30th of this month, struck me with such horror, that I kept the day of his martyrdom a fast, and would not be present at that execrable wickedness; receiving the sad account of it from my brother George (age 31), and Mr. Owen, who came to visit me this afternoon, and recounted all the circumstances.
John Evelyn's Diary. 22nd January 1660. I went this afternoon to visit Colonel Morley (age 43). After dinner I discoursed with him; but he was very jealous, and would not believe that Monk (age 51) came in to do the King (age 29) any service; I told him that he might do it without him, and have all the honor. He was still doubtful, and would resolve on nothing yet, so I took leave.
Samuel Pepys' Diary. 22nd January 1662. After musique-practice, to White Hall, and thence to Westminster, in my way calling at Mr. George Montagu's (age 39), to condole him the loss of his son, who was a fine gentleman, and it is no doubt a great discomfort to our two young gentlemen, his companions in France. After this discourse he told me, among other news, the great jealousys that are now in the Parliament House. The Lord Chancellor (age 52), it seems, taking occasion from this late plot to raise fears in the people, did project the raising of an army forthwith, besides the constant militia, thinking to make the Duke of York (age 28) General thereof. But the House did, in very open terms, say, they were grown too wise to be fooled again into another army; and said they had found how that man that hath the command of an army is not beholden to any body to make him King.
Samuel Pepys' Diary. 22nd January 1662. There are factions (private ones at Court) about Madam Palmer (age 21); but what it is about I know not. But it is something about the King's favour to her now that the Queen (age 23) is coming. He told me, too, what sport the King (age 31) and Court do make at Mr. Edward Montagu's (age 27) leaving his things behind him.
Samuel Pepys' Diary. 22nd January 1662. But the Chancellor (taking it a little more seriously) did openly say to my Lord Chamberlain (age 60), that had it been such a gallant as my Lord Mandeville (age 27) his son, it might have; been taken as a frolique; but for him that would be thought a grave coxcomb, it was very strange.
Samuel Pepys' Diary. 22nd January 1662. Thence to the Hall, where I heard the House had ordered all the King's murderers, that remain, to be executed, but Fleetwood (age 44) and Downes (age 53).
Samuel Pepys' Diary. 22nd January 1664. Up, and it being a brave morning, with a gaily to Woolwich, Kent [Map], and there both at the Ropeyard [Map]e and the other yarde did much business, and thence to Greenwich, Kent [Map] to see Mr. Pett (age 53) and others value the carved work of the "Henrietta" (God knows in an ill manner for the King (age 33)), and so to Deptford, Kent [Map], and there viewed Sir W. Petty's (age 40) vessel; which hath an odd appearance, but not such as people do make of it, for I am of the opinion that he would never have discoursed so much of it, if it were not better than other vessels, and so I believe that he was abused the other day, as he is now, by tongues that I am sure speak before they know anything good or bad of her. I am sorry to find his ingenuity discouraged so.

Samuel Pepys' Diary. 22nd January 1666. At noon my Lord Bruncker (age 46) did come, but left the keys of the chests we should open, at Sir G. Carteret's (age 56) lodgings, of my Lord Sandwich's (age 40), wherein Howe's supposed jewells are; so we could not, according to my Lord Arlington's (age 48) order, see them today; but we parted, resolving to meet here at night: my Lord Bruncker being going with Dr. Wilkins, Mr. Hooke (age 30), and others, to Colonell Blunts, to consider again of the business of charriots, and to try their new invention. Which I saw here my Lord Bruncker ride in; where the coachman sits astride upon a pole over the horse, but do not touch the horse, which is a pretty odde thing; but it seems it is most easy for the horse, and, as they say, for the man also.
Samuel Pepys' Diary. 22nd January 1666. Thence I with speede by water home and eat a bit, and took my accounts and to the Duke of Albemarle (age 57), where for all I feared of Norwood (age 52) he was very civill, and Sir Thomas Ingram (age 51) beyond expectation, I giving them all content and I thereby settled mightily in my mind, for I was weary of the employment, and had had thoughts of giving it over. I did also give a good step in a business of Mr. Hubland's, about getting a ship of his to go to Tangier [Map], which during this strict embargo is a great matter, and I shall have a good reward for it, I hope.
Samuel Pepys' Diary. 22nd January 1666. Up, and set my people to work in copying Tangier accounts, and I down the river to Greenwich, Kent [Map] to the office to fetch away some papers and thence to Deptford, Kent [Map], where by agreement my Lord Bruncker (age 46) was to come, but staid almost till noon, after I had spent an houre with W. Howe talking of my Lord Sandwich's (age 40) matters and his folly in minding his pleasures too much now-a-days, and permitting himself to be governed by Cuttance to the displeasing of all the Commanders almost of the fleete, and thence we may conceive indeed the rise of all my Lord's misfortunes of late.
Samuel Pepys' Diary. 22nd January 1669. Up, and with W. Hewer (age 27) to White Hall, and there attended the Duke of York (age 35), and thence to the Exchange [Map], in the way calling at several places on occasions relating to my feast to-morrow, on which my mind is now set; as how to get a new looking-glass for my dining-room, and some pewter, and good wine, against to-morrow; and so home, where I had the looking-glass set up, cost me £6 7s. 6d. And here at the 'Change [Map] I met with Mr. Dancre (age 44), the famous landscape painter, with whom I was on Wednesday; and he took measure of my panels in my dining-room, where, in the four, I intend to have the four houses of the King (age 38), White Hall, Hampton Court [Map], Greenwich, Kent [Map], and Windsor. He gone, I to dinner with my people, and so to my office to dispatch a little business, and then home to look after things against to-morrow, and among other things was mightily pleased with the fellow that come to lay the cloth, and fold the napkins, which I like so well, as that I am resolved to give him 40s. to teach my wife to do it.
After 22nd January 1669. Church of the Virgin Mary, Stoneleigh [Map]. Monument to Alice Leigh 1st Duchess Dudley (deceased) and her daughter.
