Letters from Sir Nicholas Throckmorton, Ambassador at Paris, upon 
hearing of Lady Dudley’s death. ~ 
(State Papers.) 
A.D. 1560, October 10th. Throckmorton to Lord Robert Dudley. 
‘*My very good Lord. By letters from my friend at your lordship’s com- 
mandment Mr. Killigrew, of the 20th of the last, which I received the 7th of 
this present, I understand of the cruel mischance late happened to my lady your 
late bedfellow, to your discomfort. But for that God hath thus disposed of 
things, the greatest of your grief by this time being assuaged and the remem- 
brance thereof presently worn out, I will no further condole with your L: thereby 
to renew your grief, but only say that as we be all mortal, subject to many 
hazards (experience daily sheweth) and have no sure abiding in this unequal 
world, so is she gone before whither we must all follow toa place of more assurance 
and more quiet than can be found in this vale,” &e., &c. 
[State Papers, Eliz. For. 19., f. 171] 
1560, October 29th, Throckmorton to Chamberlain. 
‘* My friends advertise me from home that my Lord Robert’s wife is dead and 
hath by mischance broken her own neck, and here it is openly bruited by the 
French that her neck was broken, with such other appendances I am withal 
brought to be weary of my life. I pray God, hold his holy hand over us, and 
80 evil be the reports as I am ashamed to write them. But as you are a wise 
man and can consider how much it importeth the Queen’s Matie’s honour and. 
her realm to have the same ceased, soI trust you will by your letters thence as 
I do from hence help to do some good for the appeasing of the same. For though
