NOTES AND QUERIES. 



[No. 144. 



gedies, is well to be understood ; but it is the 

 order in which the several plays are arranged 

 under those heads which I cannot understand. 

 For instance, the comedies begin with the T'empest, 

 which was the last play written by him, namely in 



Adeliza, married to Odo, Earl of Champagne (who 

 was created Earl of Albemarle by his brother-in- 

 law-uterine, and died 1096), and she, with her 

 brothers, Robert, Earl of Mortaigne, and Odo, the 

 celebrated Bishop of Bayeux, I have always con- 



1612; while among the tragedies nearly the last j sidered the sole issue of the Conqueror's mother. 



is Titus Andronicus^ his first, 1588 (if his at all) 

 I have examined all the five first folios (including 

 the two-thirds), and find the order in each the 

 same, except that the first does not contain Troilus 

 and Cressida, which in the second comes in be- 

 tween Henry the Eighth and Coriolunus.

" Sic transit gloria mundi." — Can any one tell 

 me from whence this phrase is derived ? H. H. 



^^ Jack" — It has probably occurred to many 

 of your readers that the nickname of Jack, as ap- 

 plied to John, is peculiarly inappropriate ; the 

 term of course is an abbreviation of the French 

 Jaques. Can any one inform me at what period, 

 and for ivhat reasons, the name of Jack was trans- 

 ferred from James to John f Oeillennis. 



Celebrated Trees. — 



" Henry VIII. went out with his hounds, and break- 

 fasted under agreattree in Epping Fortst the very day 

 his once-loved wife (Anne Boleyn) was to perish in the 

 Tower." — Fisher's Companion to History of England. 

 Is this tree known to exist at the present time? 



F. B. Relton. 



WicUiffe MSS.—T>ugi\a\e says that Francis, 

 fourth Earl of Bedford, bequeathed to the " Lord 

 Burleigh, high treasurer of England, all his ancient 

 MSS. of Wickliffe's works." Are these MSS. in 

 existence ? W. A. 



Moroni's Portrait of Mary Queen of Scots. — 

 Can any of your correspondents inform me what 

 is become of the beautiful full-length portrait of 

 Mary Queen of Scots, painted by IMoroni just pre- 

 vious to her marriage with the Dauphin ? As 

 Moroni was a friend of Titian's, and as that great 

 artist was in the l^abit of sending his supernumerary 

 sitters to him, it is probably a very superior work 

 of art. About thirty years since I believe it was 

 in Paris, and was said to have been stolen, dui-ing 

 the Revolution, from the Trianon. ^gkotus. 



Hugh Lupus, Earl of Chester, 1070—1101. — 

 This earl is called nephew of William I. (by whom 

 he was created earl), and his sister Maude de 

 Abrincis, who married Ralf de Mischines, was 

 mother to Ranulpli, afterwards Earl of Chester, 

 1119—28. I wish to ascertain who Ralf de Mes- 

 chines was, and also through what sister Hugh and 

 Maud were nephew and niece to the Concjueror. 

 The exact relationship is not given in any work I 

 Lave had access to; and the only sister recorded is 



Arlotta of Falaise, by her husband Odo de Con- 

 teville, a Norman knight, William I. was only 

 child, and that illegitimate, of Duke Robert of 

 Normandy, consequently this other sister, with her 

 descendants. Earls of Chester, has always puzzled 

 me, and as unfortunately I have not Dugdale, or 

 similar works to refer to here, I now throw my- 

 self on your mercy, and trust that some of your 

 antiquarian subscribers may enlighten my ig- 

 norance. A. S. A.

English Bishops deprived by Queen Elizabeth, 

 in June, 1559. — Can any of your ecclesiastica 

 readers furnish me with the date and place of 

 death, also age if known, and any other brief 

 notices, of the following prelates, who were de- 

 prived of their sees for refusing to take the " oath 

 of supremacy " to Queen Elizabeth : viz. John 

 White, Bishop of Winchester; Owen Oglethorpe, 

 Bishop of Carlisle; Cuthbert Scott, Bishop of Ches- 

 ter; James Turberville, Bishop of Exeter; Thomas 

 lieynolds, Bishop elect of Hereford ; Ralph Bayne, 

 Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry; Francis Mallet, 

 Bishop elect of Salisbury ; Thomas Goldwell, Bi- 

 shop of St. Asaph ; Henry Morgan, Bishop of St, 

 Davids ; and Richard Pate, Bishop of Worcester ? 

 Of the following I possess some scanty notitio', 

 but should like to obtain further information as to 

 their place of death, age, and exact date (of month 

 even) : of Archbishop Heath of York, and Bishops 

 Bourne of Bath and Wells, Pole of Peterborough,, 

 and Watson of Lincoln. Regarding the last, I 

 have both 1582 and 1584 as date of death, the 

 place AVisb^ch Castle, Cambridgeshire, and he is 

 called " the last of the diocesan Catholic bishops in 

 England ;" yet 1 find Bishop Thomas Goldwell of 

 St. Asaph mentioned in 1584 as being then alive 

 at Rome, and " SuflTragan to Cardinal Savelli, 

 Vicegerent of Rome," under Pope Gregory XIII. 

 Perhaps both these bishops, Watson and Goldwell^ 

 died in the same year, 1584. The latter is also 

 mentioned as having been present at the Council 

 of Ti-ent, among the " Bishops of Pope Paul IV. ;" 

 and in the records of that council he is styled, 

 " Th. Goduellus : anglus : episc : Asaphen," being 

 the only English prelate present there, with the 

 exception of Cardinal Reginald Pole. A. S. A,
