.220 Painting under Edward VI. and Mary, 



ney afked leave to travel, and died at Padua, 

 not without fufpicion of poilbn, which feems 

 more probable than thofe rumours gene- 

 rally are, as he was rurpe(5ted of being a 

 Lutheran and as his epitaph, * written in 

 defence of the Spaniards, formally declares 

 that he owed his death to affeding the 

 kingdom, and to his ambition of marrying 

 the queen , the laft of wliich aflertions at lead 

 is a falfhood, and might be a blunder, con- 

 founding the queen and princefs. After his 

 death one Cieybery was executed for pre- 

 tending to be this earl, and thence endea- 

 vouring to raife commotions. 



There is a very good portrait of him at 

 the duke of Bedford's at Woburn, painted, 

 I fhould think, by Sir Antonio More i on 

 the back ground, a ruined tower.

 1735, p. 261.
