1 When the tree died in the 1970s, another sapling was planted by another Queen Elizabeth, while the dead trunk was temporarily resurrected in the Hatfield gift shop, sheltering a waxwork effigy of the princess.
2 ‘Graceful in behaviour’, said another writer, Clapham, and ‘much addicted to sensual pleasures’; others again wrote of his ‘stately carriage’ and ‘grave look’.
3 Spain and the Holy Roman Empire were both at this time ruled by Charles V. It was only in the last years of Mary’s reign that, after Charles V’s abdication, the two great Habsburg territories came to be governed separately - Spain by Charles’s son Philip, the Empire by Charles’s brother’s kin - and their ambassadors have to be distinguished.
4 This is the theory convincingly expounded by her biographer Eric Ives. An alternative has, however, recently been put forward by Retha Warnicke, who suggests that Anne’s miscarriage of a possibly deformed foetus convinced Henry of her corruption and adultery.
5 The chapel of Ely Place is also dedicated to St Etheldreda. It seems an odd coincidence that both Robert and Elizabeth should have grown up with churches dedicated to a saint and queen celebrated for her virginity.
6 Dee is often described as having been Robert’s tutor, but this can only have been as an adult’s companion in study rather than a schoolmaster since Dee, born in 1527, was working abroad until Robert was almost twenty.
7 That favourite was Christopher Hatton, who gave his name to Hatton Garden, which stands on the site today. All that remains of the old palace is the crypt below St Etheldreda’s chapel - ‘reclaimed for the old religion’, as the plaque outside puts it, in the 1870s.
8 The only example of a woman ruler was Matilda, who in the twelfth century had contested the throne with her kinsman Stephen, and whose arrogance and ambition had almost torn the country apart.
9 Charles V had now retired to a monastery. He would die in 1558, leaving the Austrian empire to his brother; from now on the Spanish and the Imperial ambassadors need to be distinguished.
