After this, it happened immediately upon the rising of Sir Thomas Wiat, that the Lady Elizabeth, and the Lord Courtney, were charged with false suspicion of Sir Thomas Wyat's rising. Whereupon, the next day after the rising of Wyatt, the Queen sent for her from her house at Ashridge, by three of her Counsellors, Sir Richard Southwell, Sir Edward Hastings, then master of the horse, and Sir Thomas Cornwallis, with their retinue, and troupe of horsemen, to the number of 250: who at the same time found her sore sick in her bed. It was ten of the clock at night before they came, and they were so boisterous, that being desired to stay and come in the morning to speak with her, they came hastily rushing into her Graces chamber, as soon as the Gentlewoman, that was to do the message from them to her. And coming in unto her, they declared the Queens pleasure, which was, that she should be at London the seventh day of that present Month. Adding moreover unto her, that their Commission was such, that they must needs bring her with them, either quick or dead. And thereupon called for Physicians, Doctor Owen, and Doctor Wendy, and demanded of them whether she might be removed from thence with life, or no. Whose answer was, that she might.
