Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Court and Society, Elizabeth to Anne, Vol. 2 of 2: Edited From the Papers at Kimbolton
How actively Walter Montagu was engaged in public business from the very first year of the reign of Charles I., we learn from other documents in the Record C?ice. In a letter from Sir Benjamin Rudyerd to Sir Francis Nethersole, dated from Whitehall, February 3, 1626, amid brief gossip detailing that the king had been crowned on the previous day, but that the queen, instead of participating in the ceremony, her church not recognising our bishops, stood at a window of Sir Abraham Williams's to see the Show - that her pastoral and mask were deferred till Shrovetide and matters of similar import, - amid all this there is notice of a report that Walter Montagu, Who had been sent to France the year before, on business connected With the arbitrary seizure of some English vessels, had returned to England, bringing with him a promise of restitution of our ships, and an assurance of a peace being about to be concluded with the Protestants. But the writer much misdoubts that such report is only so much political capital, and manufactured simply as a preparation for the parliament.
