In the same month of March, the Lord Courtney (whom the Queen at her first entry delivered out of the Tower,) and Lady Elizabeth also, the Queens sister, were both in suspicion to have been of Wiats conspiracy:1 and for the same, this March were apprehended, and committed to the Tower. And, although Wiat at his death cleared them both, (as unacquainted with the matter) yet Gardiner practised ⟨p. 108⟩to bring them both within the compass of the same, and the Lord Shandoys joined therein with him. Not long after this, a parliament was holden at Westminster in April, where the Queen propounded concerning her marriage to king Phillip, and restoring the Popes supremacy. Her marriage was agreed upon, but the supremacy would not be obtained as then.2
