³³⁹ Gerald FitzGerald, eleventh Earl of Kildare, had in May 1554 married Mabel, the sister of Anthony Browne, first Viscount Montague. She died on 25 August 1610, Cokayne VII, 236–9.

³⁴³ The Lambe family.

³⁴⁴ In March 1611 Birkhead informed More that John Loane had had his ‘ground driven by the officers and pursivantes, and 40 fatt oxen taken from him under pretense of some arrerages dew to the kinge’ although he had already compounded for the same; the fact that he had taken the oath of allegiance was no benefit to him, AAW A X, no. 27 (p. 63); cf. Letter 14. Thomas Heath said Loane had lost property to the ‘valew of 600^li’, AAW A X, no. 39 (p. 97). Richard Broughton noted in April 1611 that the commissioners' rapacity had led them since Easter to take from Loane at ‘Battell in Sussex forty fyve Oxen worth eight pounds at the least a peace, & Henry Smith of Chinting [Chyngton] no Cath having thre & twentie bullockes neare to M^r Loanes ground, are allso taken away from him by force’, AAW A X, no. 36 (p. 91); see also Letter 14. In a letter to More of 3 March 1611, Norton said that Loane, who had just married a rich widow, ‘was ever a fairespoken man yett I ever tooke him to bee more lesuited than preestifyedd’, implying that he had taken the oath under the influence of lax Jesuit casuistry, AAW A X, no. 19 (p. 45). There was a Kentish recusant family called Loane at Sevenoaks, but this man is probably to be identified with the wealthy East Sussex recusant called John Loane/Lone (written ‘Love’ in some records), whose immediate family came from Goudhurst in Kent. His wife had died very recently. His property was assessed by an exchequer commission in February 1611, PRO, E 368/541, mem. 114s, 124b. See also WSRO, Ep. II/9/12, fo. 8v.

³⁴⁵ Thomas Middlemore, the youngest son of John Middlemore of Hawkesley, Worcestershire. Thomas now resided in Sussex, W.P.W. Phillimore, assisted by Carter, W.F., Some Account of the Family of Middlemore of Warwickshire and Worcestershire (1901), 238–40Google Scholar; BL, Additional MS 34765, fo. 43r. This individual may be identified with a servant of Jane Sackville, wife of Anthony Maria Browne, second viscount Montague, CRS 60, 145. ‘Thomas Middlemore, gent’ was one of the group of recusants at Battle (including Edward Wyborne, David Lomer, Edward Goldwyer, and Richard Vincent) who were indicted at the Sussex assizes in July 1605, Cockburn, , Calendar of Assize Records: Sussex Indictments: James I, 18.Google Scholar

³⁴⁶ i.e. Jesuits.

³⁴⁷ St Omer.

³⁴⁸ Identity uncertain. However, since in August 1611 Anthony Champney referred to William (Maurus) Taylor OSB by using the alias of Palmer, and Taylor was involved in the project for setting up a convent for English Benedictine nuns in Paris with which the seculars assisted, the reference here may be to him, AAW A X, no. 61; Lunn, ‘English Cassinese’, 63. But the secular priests John Bosvile and Richard Cooper also used the alias of Palmer.

³⁴⁹ This may indicate Elizabeth Somerset, Countess of Worcester, a relation of Katherine Pole. (The countess was a daughter of Francis Hastings, second Earl of Huntingdon by Catherine, daughter of Henry Pole, first Baron Montague, first son of Margaret Pole, Countess of Salisbury.) See also Letter 39.

³⁵⁰ Viscount Montague's London residence in Southwark, on land which formerly belonged to the priory of St Mary Overie.

³⁵¹ Richard Lambe.

³⁵² Birkhead told Smith in October 1609 to direct his letters ‘to Mathew Woodw. at S marie overies’, AAW A VIII, no. 161 (p. 643). Elizabeth, the wife of Matthew Woodward of Lodsworth parish in West Sussex, near to Midhurst, was denounced excommunicate in January 1601, CRS 60, 117, and was a convicted recusant, Cockburn, J.

³⁵⁵ Robert (Gregory) Hungate entered OSB in 1610; William Estmond, whose name in religion was also Gregory, had left the English College in Rome in 1606 for Venice to enter OSB. But neither was in England at this date. The correct identification may be Thomas Law jnr, a son of the bursar at Douai, and brother of William Law, Lunn, ‘English Cassinese’, 65Google Scholar; cf. Letter 6.
