    the lord Mordaunt, sir William Drury,* sir John Shelton, sir Henry Bedinefield, master Henry Jerningham, master John Sulierde, mas- ter Richard Freston, master sergeant Morgan, master Clement Higham of Lincolnes inne, and divers others; and also that the earle of Sussex and master Henry Ratcliffe his sonne were comming towards her: whereupon by speedy councell it was there concluded, that the duke of Suffolk, with certaine other noblemen, should goe towards the lady Mary, to fetch her up to London. ‘This was first determined; but by night of the same day the said voyage of the duke of Suftolke was cleane dissolved by the speciall meanes of the lady Jane his daughter, who, taking the matter heavily, with weep- ing teares made request to the whole councell that her father might tarry at home in her company: whereupon the councell perswaded with the duke of Northumberland to take that voyage upon him, saying that no man was so fit therefor, because that he had atchieved the victory in Norfolke once already, and was therefore so feared, that none durst once lift up their weapon against him: besides that, he was the best man of warre in the realme; as well for the ordering of his campes and souldiers both in battell and in their tents, as also by experience, knowledge, and wisedome, he could animate his army with witty perswasions, and also pacifie and alay his enemies pride with his stout courage, or else to disswade them if nede were from their enterprise. “ Well (quoth the duke then) since ye thinke it good, I and mine will goe, not doubting of your fidelity to the quenes majestie, which I leave in your custodie.” So that night hee sent for both lords, knights, and other that should goe with him, and caused all things to be prepared accordingly. Then went the coun- @ Sir William Drury, for his services “‘ at Framlingham,” received, by patent dated the Ist Nov. following, an annuity of 100 marks: see it printed in Rymer’s Feedera, xv. 352. A like annuity of 200 marks was granted on the 14th Nov. to Thomas West lord la Warre for his services against the duke (ibid. p. 352) ; one of 100/. on the 4th Dec. to sir Richard Southwell (ibid. p. 355) ; and one of 50/. on the 10th Feb. to Francis Purefay for his services at Framlingham (ibid. p. 365), Probably many others, unnoticed by Rymer, are recorded on the Patent Rolls. » In the suppression of Kett’s rebellion.
