First Earl of Pembroke of fhe Present Creation. 99 



In November, L551, the Queen Dowager of Scotland paid a visit 

 to the court of Edward VI. in considerable state. The queen 

 came to London from Hampton Court, and lodged at Baynard's 

 Castle, thence riding to the bishop's palace with many lords ; she 

 afterwards rode through the city of London with the Duke of 

 Northumberland and the Earl of Pembroke, attended by more than 

 a hundred gentlemen, well mounted and richly dressed in coats 

 guarded with velvet, wearing chains, and hats with white feathers. 



Early in the year 1552, Lord Pembroke lost his first wife Anne, by 

 whom he had two sons: Henry, afterwards second Earl of Pembroke, 

 and Sir Edward Herbert ; also a daughter, Anne, who married Lord 

 Talbot, son of the sixth Earl of Shrewsbury. Lady Pembroke was 

 buried in old St. Paul's. An account of her funeral is preserved in 

 the Diary of Henry Machin, citizen of London (Camden Soc, vol. 

 4}'Z). "On the iJ8th February was buried the noble countess of 

 Pembroke, sister to the late Queen Katharine, wife of King Henry 

 VIII. She died at Baynard's Castle, and was so carried into Paul's. 

 There were a hundred poor men and women who had mantle frieze 

 gowns, then came the heralds ; after this the corpse, and about her, 

 eight banner rolls of arms. Then came the mourners both lords 

 and knights and gentlemen, also the lady and gentlewomen mourners 

 to the number of two hundred. After these were two hundred of 

 her own and other servants in coats. She was buried by the tomb 

 of [the Duke of] Lancaster. Afterwards her banners were set up 

 over her, and her arms set on divers pillars." 



In the old chapel at Wilton House was preserved a stained glass 

 window, in which were painted the kneeling figures of Lord Pem- 

 broke and his two sons, also that of his wife, Anne Parr, and her 

 daughter. The glass is now removed to the new Church at Wilton, 

 and will be found in the first window to the right on entering.
