The Third Book 119 



The third and youngest daughter, Aletheia, married Thomas 

 Howard, Earl of Arundel, the first earl, and Earl Marshal of 

 England ; by whom she left two sons, James, who died beyond 

 the seas without issue ; and Henry, who married Elizabeth, 

 daughter of Esme Stuart, Duke of Lennox ; by whom he had 

 issue several sons and one daughter ; whereof the eldest son 

 Thomas (since the restoration of King Charles the Second) 

 was restored to the dignity of his ancestors, viz. Duke of 

 Norfolk, next to the royal family, the first Duke of England 1 



And this is briefly the pedigree of my dear Lord and hus- 

 band, from his grandfather by his father's side. Concerning 

 his kindred and alliances by his mother, who was Katherine 

 daughter to Cuthbert, Lord Ogle, they are so many, that it 

 is impossible for me to enumerate them all, my Lord being 

 by his mother related to the chief of the most ancient families 

 of Northumberland, and other the northern parts ; only this 

 I may mention, that my Lord is a peer of the realm, from the 

 first year of King Edward the Fourth his reign 2 . 



marriage till after her death upon some law account '. Aubrey terms her an ' ingeniose 

 lady ', and there is in Mercurius Politicus for May 10-17, 1655, a curious advertisement 

 to prove it : ' That excellent Cordial, called the Countess of Kent's powder, approved 

 by long experience of the nobility gentry, and best physicians of this nation, in any 

 malign disease, Plague, Small Pox, Burning Fevers, Wind, Colic, Women in Labour, 

 Children newly born, etc. It is now made by one Mistress Williamson, living in White- 

 friars, near the late Countess's house, who was a servant to her, and for many years 

 compounded it by her Lady's direction. The whole stock of powder, and of the ingre- 

 dients left by the Countess, was, after her death, given to the said Mistress Williamson 

 by Mr. Selden, her Ladyship's executor. This notice is 'published because of the many 

 counterfeit powders uttered up and down by apothecaries and others, under the same 

 name, to the intent that it may be known where the right powder is to be had.' 



1 Thomas, Earl of Arundel, was born in?i592, and died in 1646. He collected the 

 Arundel Marbles, and was commander of the King's army in the campaign of 1639 against 

 the Scots. His character is described by Clarendon (Rebellion, i, 118) and by Sir Edward 

 Walker (Historical Collections, p. 209). His son Henry married Elizabeth Stuart in 

 1626, became Earl of Arundel on his father's death, and died in 1652. Thomas was 

 restored to the title of Duke of Norfolk in 1664. 



2 Some account of the Ogle family is given by Collins in his Historical Collections of 

 the Noble Families of Cavendish, Holies, Vere, Harley, and Ogle.
