he execution of
the Duke of Norfolk. At a later period he appears to have quite regained
the favour of the Queen, for we read that she accepted as a New Year's
gift from him in 1584 'a cup of cristall graven and garnished with
golde,' and that at the New Year 1587 he presented to her 'a booke,
wherein are divers Psalmes in Lattin written, the boards greate,
inclosed all over on the outeside with golde enamuld cut-worke, with
divers colours and one litle claspe.'[19] In 1580 Lord Lumley lost his
father-in-law, who by a deed, dated March 14th, 1566, had conveyed a
great part of his estates to Lord Lumley and Jane his eldest daughter,
Lord Lumley's wife; and after her decease, Lord Arundel confirmed the
same to Lord Lumley by his will, which he made a few months before his
death. Among the estates bequeathed were the palace and park of Nonsuch,
which in 1590 Lord Lumley conveyed to the Queen in exchange for lands of
the yearly value of five hundred and thirty-four pounds. Lord Lumley
died on the 11th of April 1609 at his residence on Tower Hill, in the
parish of St. Olave, Hart Street, and was buried in Cheam church, in the
county of Surrey, where a monument was erected to his memory in the
Lumley aisle, which he had built. By his first wife, Jane, who died in
1577, Lord Lumley had three children, who all died in infancy. He had
no issue by his second wife, Elizabeth, daughter of John, Lord Darcy of
Chiche, who survived him nine years.

Lord Lumley, Bishop Hacket says, 'did pursue Recondite Learning as much
as any of his Honourable Rank in those Times, and was the owner of a
most precious Library, the search and collection of Mr. Humfry
Llyd.'[20] This fine library, which to a great extent was formed by the
books bequeathed to him by his father-in-law in 1580, contained many
volumes which had evidently been once the property of Archbishop
Cranmer, as they bear his name, which is sometimes accompanied by the
signature of Lumley, and in other instances by the signatures of both
Arundel and Lumley. Lord Lumley also collected a number of portraits.

Lord Lumley made liberal donations of books to the University Library of
Cambridge and the Bodleian Library during his lifetime, and also
'bestowed many excellent Pieces printed and manuscript upon Mr.
Williams[21] for alliance sake.' After his death in 1609 the remainder
of his library, 'which was probably more valuable than any other
collection then existing in England, with the
