Letters of John Chamberlain Volume 2.252. [14th November 1616] Vicount Wallingford [aged 72] is willing to make roome for Sir Thomas Edmonds [aged 53] advancement to be controller, having besides the dignitie conferred now upon him £2000 a yeare during life out of the court of wardes, or the best ward (saving noble men) that falls every yeare at his owne choise, so that the King is the only gainer by these bargains, except perhaps his Lady [aged 33] whose ambition they say yt was to have him a vicount that she might have place of certain Ladies, but specially of the Lady Fenton [aged 48], whom she did most aime at. The Lord Rosse [aged 26] went from Portesmouth the third of this present, having had ever since as fayre a wind as ever blew, so that yt is certainly held that he is before this time arrived at Lisbone.
