Description: | Your words are honourable, but it remains for you to show your affection and loyalty by your deeds, not only holding the place for her Majesty and his Excellency, but, if necessary, resigning it. You have threatened, if not well treated and paid, to usurp the place, which does not accord with your promises. I desire to know what you will do if your pay and that of your soldiers is satisfied, not doubting but that you will either receive the government of the place by other methods than usurpation, or surrender it to whomsoever his Excellency shall think good. Draft by Lord Willoughby.
Overleaf: Note concerning the sending of Captain Sale's cornet and Mons. Pierre van Tymmerman, engineer of Bergen, to the Chateau of Waw, to speak with Capt. Marchant touching the holding of the said Castle. | Subjects: | Country Estates | Temporal: | [Dec 1586?] | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
