HATTON 



I 



Nov, 27, 1835, when the widow of 

 the 1st marquess lost her life at 

 the age of 85, but it was soon 

 rebuilt. Notable features are the 

 hall, grand staircase, long gallery, 

 King James's room, armoury, li- 

 brary, summer and winter dining- 

 rooms, drawing-room, and chapel. 



In Hatfield House are pre- 

 served a remarkable collection 

 of MSS. and state papers, some 

 of which have been published 

 by the Historical MSS. commis- 

 sion, many relics of Tudor and 

 Jacobean times, and a large num- 

 ber of historical portraits, includ- 

 ing that of Queen Elizabeth by 

 Zuccaro. Much interest attaches 

 to a genealogical tree, 42 ft. long, 

 drawn up for Elizabeth, tracing her 

 descent back to Adam. It is kept 

 on a roller and in the later section 

 coats-of-arms are attached to all 

 the names. Outside the gates is a 

 bronze statue, by George Frampton, 

 of the 3rd marquess of Salisbury, 

 erected by Hertfordshire friends 

 and neighbours, Oct. 21, 1906. See 

 Cecil; Gallery; consult also English 

 Studies, J. S. Brewer, 1880.

 leading part in German politics. 

 He was a trusted counsellor of 

 King Arnulf, being afterwards 

 ruler of Germany for his young son, 

 Louis the Child. He helped Con- 

 rad I to secure the throne after the 

 death of Louis, and for some 

 reason or other brought upon him- 

 self the dislike of the Saxons and of 

 their duke, Henry the Fowler. He 

 died May 15, 913. 



Hatto II, who was archbishop 

 from 968 to 970, is the Hatto 

 whose name is associated with 

 the legend of the Mouse Tower 

 at Bingen, the story being that he 

 was devoured by rats or mice. At 

 one time Hatto I was regarded as 

 the victim, but later research 

 makes it refer to Hatto II, who had 

 a reputation for oppressing the 

 poor. See Curious Myths of the 

 Middle Ages, S. Baring-Gould, 1897.
