On the death of the 7th Earl in 1572, his brother, the 8th Earl,
succeeded. He had gained the reputation of an able soldier, diplomatist
and administrator in Border warfare. He was professedly a Protestant,
and had taken the side of the Government against his brother in the
Rising of the North. This prejudiced him in the eyes of the Catholic
North; but his conduct in general appears to justify the charges
brought against him by contemporaries of being ruthless, crafty and
unscrupulous. He soon fell under suspicion of attachment to the Church
of Rome, was kept under close surveillance by the Government, and
served two terms in the Tower.
In 1584 he was arrested on false charges of complicity with Mary Queen
of Scots and sent to the Tower for the third time. In the following
year he was found in his cell shot through the heart. The Government
tried to prove that he had died by his own hand, but there were
circumstances pointing to murder, ie. there were 3 bullet holes in him.
Transcript of Queens Writ against the Earle of Northumberland.
By The Queen.
The Queens Majesty was sundry wise about the latter end of this summer
informed of some secret whysperings in certain places of Yorkshire, and
the Bishopricke of Durham, that there was like to be mostly some
assemblies of lewde people in those parts, tending to a rebellion:
Whereof, because of at the first the informations contained no evident
or direct cause or proof, therefor her Majesty had the less regard
thereto, untill upon certain conventions and secret meetings of the
Earles of Northumberland and Westmoreland, with certain persons of
suspected behaviour, the former reports were renewed, and thereof also
the said two Earles were in vulgar speeches from place to place
expressely noted to be the authors. Whereupon the Earle of Sussex, Lord
President of Her Majesties council in those North parts gave
advertisement of the like brutes, adding never the less (to his
knowledge ) there was no other matter in deed but lewde rumours
suddenly raised and suddenly ended. And yet shortly after he sent for
the two Earles, with whom he conferred of those rumours: Who as they
could not deny but that they had heard of such, yet (as it now
afterward appeareth) falsely than dissembling, they protested
themselves to be free from all such occasions, offering to spend their
lives against any that should break the peace, and so much trusted by
the said Lord President upon their othes, they were licensed not only
to depart, but had power given to them to examine the causes of the
said brutes. Never the less, the fire of their treasons which they had
caused was so great, as it did newly burst out more flames. Whereupon
her Majesty being always loath to enter into any open miss trust of any
of her nobility, and therefore in this case desirus rather to have both
the said Earles cleared from such slanders, and her good people that
lied in fear of spoil to be quieted: commanded the Lord President (as
it seemed) having than discovered some what further of their evil
purposes, did only at the first write to them, to come to him to
consult upon matters appertaining to that counsell, where unto they
made delatorie and frivilous answers: and so being once again more
ernestly required, they more flatly denied. And last of all her Majesty
sent her own private letters of commandment to them to repay to her
preference, all which not withstanding, they refused to come: And
harrying before the delivery of Her Majesties letters to them,
assembled as great numbers as they could, (which were not many, for
that the bonester dost did refuse them) they did enter into an open and
actual rebellion, arming and fortifying them selves rebelliously in all
warlike manner, and have invaded houses and churches, and published
proclamations in their own names, to move her majesties subjects to
take their parts, as persons that mean of their own private authority
to break and subvert laws, threatening the people that if they cannnot
achieve their purposes, then strangers will enter the realm to finalise
the same: And with this they add, that they mean no hurt to her
Majesties person: A pretence always first published by all traitors.
And as for reformation of any great matter, it is evident they be as
evil chosen two persons (if their qualities be well considered) to have
credit, as can be in the whole realm.
And now her Majesty manifestly perceiving in what sort these two Earles
being both in poverty, the one having but a very small portion of that
which his ancestors had and lost, and the other having almost his whole
patrimony wasted, do go about through the persuasion of a number of
desperate persons, associated as parasites with them to satisfy their
private lack and ambition which cannot be by them compared, without
covering at the first certain high treasons against the Queens
Majesties person and the realm, long hidden by such as have hereto
provoked them, with the cover of some other pretended general
enterprises: Hath thought good that all her good loving subjects
specially understand, how in this sort the said Earles, contrary to the
natural property of nobility, (which is instituted to defend the prince
being the head, and to prefer peace) have thus openly and traitorously
entered into the first rebellion and breach of the public blessed peace
of this realm that hath happened (beyond all former examples) during
her Majesties reign, which now hath continued above eleven years, an
act horrible against God the only giver of so long a peace, and
gratefull to their sovereign Lady, to whom they two particularly have
heretofore made sundry proffessions of their faith: and lastly, mostly
unnatural and pernitious to their native country that has so long
enjoyed peace, and now by their only malice and ambition is to be
troubled in that felicitie, and herewith also her Majesty chargeth all
her good subjectes, to employ their whole powers to the preferation of
a common peace, (which is the blessing of almightie God) and speedyly
apprehend and suppresse all manner of persons that shal by any deede or
word shew them selves favourable to this rebelious enterprise of the
sayde two Earles, or any their associates: who as her Majestie hath
already wylled and commanded to be by the foresayde Earle of suffer,
her lietetenaunt generall in the north, published rebelles and traytors
against her crown and dignitie: so both he Majestie by these presentes,
for anoyding of al pretences of ignorance, reiterate and eftsoones
notifie the same to her whole realme, with all their adherentes and
favourers to be traytors and to be taken and bled to all purposes, not
doubting but this admonition and knowledge given shall fulfile for all
good subjects to retayne them selves in their duties, and to be boyde
from all seducing by these foresayde rebelles and traytors, or their
adherentes and favourers, whatsoever their pretences shal be made or
published by them selves, or such as have not the grace of God to
delight and liue in peace, but to move to make spoyle of the goodes and
substances of all good people, the true proper fruites of all
rebellions and treasons.
Given at the castle of Windsor the rriiii, day of November. 1569 in the
twelfth yere of her Majesties raigne.
