Elizabeth I visited Edward Seymour, 1st Earl of Hertford (1539?-1621) at Elvetham in 1591 as she progressed through Hampshire. This account describes how the Earl constructed several buildings especially for the Queen’s visit, and created a large pond in which an elaborate show was performed. The Queen stayed for four days of music, poetry, banquets and fireworks. This spectacular entertainment occurred more than 30 years after Hertford fell from favour by clandestinely marrying Lady Katherine Grey, the Queen’s cousin, in 1560.
Provenance
Acquired by George IV, when Prince of Wales, for his library at Carlton House.
