n a false and ridiculous charge of abusing the privileges of his
post to enrich himself and his friends, he was deprived of it, and fined
twelve thousand pounds, eight thousand pounds of which was afterwards
remitted.[12]

On the death of Edward, Arundel took a prominent part in the proceedings
which placed Mary on the throne, and as a reward for his exertions he
was made Lord Steward of the Household, and was also given a seat on the
Council Board. Queen Elizabeth, on her accession to the crown, continued
him in all the appointments which he had held in the preceding reign,
and on several occasions visited him at Nonsuch, his residence at Cheam
in Surrey. These marks of kindness led him, it is said, to aspire to a
union with his royal mistress; but being disappointed in gaining her
hand, and 'being miscontented with sundry things,' in 1564 he resigned
his post of Lord Steward 'with sundry Speeches of Offence,'[13] which so
displeased Elizabeth that she ordered him to confine himself to his
house. He afterwards partially regained the favour of the Queen, but
having endeavoured to promote the marriage of his widowed son-in-law,
the Duke of Norfolk, with Mary Queen of Scots, he was once more placed
under arrest, and although after a time he obtained his release, it was
followed by further imprisonment, and he did not finally regain his
liberty until some months after the execution of Norfolk on the 2nd of
June 1572.

Arundel passed the remainder of his life in retirement, affectionately
tended until her death in 1577 by 'his nursse and deare beloved childe'
Lady Lumley. He died on the 24th of February 1580 at Arundel House in
the Strand, and was buried in the Collegiate Chapel at Arundel, where a
monument, with an inscription by his son-in-law, Lord Lumley, was
erected to his memory.

Arundel was twice married. By his first wife, Katherine, second daughter
of Thomas Grey, Marquis of Dorset, he had one son, Henry, Lord
Maltravers, who died in 1556, and two daughters: Jane, who married Lord
Lumley, and Mary, who became the wife of Thomas Howard, Duke of Norfolk,
beheaded in 1572. His second wife, Mary, who died in 1557, was a
daughter of Sir John Arundell of Lanherne, Cornwall, and widow of Robert
Ratcliffe, first Earl of Sussex. By her he had no issue.

With the assistance of Humphrey Llwyd, the physician and antiquary, who
married Barbara, sister of Lord Lumley, Lord Arundel formed at his
residence of Nonsuch a fine c
