First Earl of Pembroke of the Present Creation. 1^3 



l^as still connected with Wiltshire ; she was some years afterwards 

 married clandestinely to Lord Hertford^ son of Protector Somerset, 

 and now lies buried with her husband in Salisbury Cathedral, where 

 a magnificent monument was erected to their memory. 



The popular will having been so strongly expressed in favor of 

 Mary, Pembroke did not hesitate to take an active part in the 

 movement. On the 19th July, Winchester, Arundell, Pembroke, 

 Shrewsbury, Bedford, and others, who were still under the eyes of 

 the Tower garrison, found means of passing the gates, and made 

 their way to Pembroke's residence at Baynard's Castle ; where they 

 sent for the Lord Mayor and other magistrates of the city. The 

 meeting was first addressed by Arundell, who said the country was 

 on the brink of civil war, and if they continued to support the 

 pretensions of Lady Jane Grey to the crown, civil war would in- 

 evitably break out, and so lead to the interference of France and 

 Spain. Pembroke rose next. The words of Lord Arundell, he said, 

 were true and good, and not to be gainsaid. What others thought 

 be knew not ;. for himself he was so convinced, that he would fight 

 in the quarrel with any man; and if words are not enough, he 

 cried, flashing his sword out of the scabbard, "tliis blade shall make 

 Mary queen, or I will lose my life." ^ 



The lords, accompanied by the mayor and heralds, went to the 

 cross at Cheapside, to proclaim Mary queen. Pembroke himself 

 stood out to read ; and this time there was no reason to complain of 

 a silent audience. He could utter but one sentence before his voice 

 was lost in the shout of joy which thundered into the air. " God 

 save the Queen " rung out from ten thousands of throats. " God 

 save the Queen/' cried Pembroke himself, when he had done, and 



his wife, daughter to John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland ; by which he did 

 no lesse endeavour to ingratiate himself with the Lord Robert Dudley [one of 

 the son.s of that Duke, and afterwards Earl of Leicester], who at that time began 

 to grow powerf uU at court ; than by the former, to insinuate himself with Duke 

 Dudley, the great man of his time." 



The manuage of Lord Herbert, however, with Katharine, daughter of Lord 

 Shrewsbury, did not take place till some ten years afterwards, in the time o£ 

 Queen Elizabeth.
