an Crusader" was knocked
down by Geo. Robins to a Mr. Bentley, for 30_l_., and he being unable to
_polish_ it, as he had intended, sold it to the authorities at the Tower
for one hundred guineas, where it is exhibited as "The Norman Crusader."

NASO.

_Lady Jane of Westmoreland._

Sir,--On page 206. of Mr. Collier's second volume of _Extracts from the
Registers of the Stationers' Company,_ the following entry
occurs:--"1585-6. Cold and uncoth blowes, of the lady Jane of
Westmorland." And on page 211., "A songe of Lady Jane of Westmorland."
Mr. Collier considers these entries to refer to the same production.

The name of Lady Jane of Westmoreland does not occur in Park's edition
of _Royal and Noble Authors_; but it would clearly be entitled to a
place there, if we can ascertain who she was.

I have little doubt she was Jane, daughter of Thomas Manvers, first Earl
of Rutland, and first wife of Henry Nevill, fifth Earl of Westmoreland,
by whom she was mother of Charles, Earl of Westmoreland, one of the
chiefs of the northern rebellion.

Collins, under the title "Rutland," states that _Anne_, daughter of
Thomas, first Earl of Rutland, married Henry, Earl of Westmoreland; but
under the title "Abergavenny" he states that the same Henry, Earl of
Westmoreland, married _Jane_, daughter of Thomas, first Earl of Rutland.
The last statement I presume to be the correct one.

I can find no other person, at the period in question, to whom the title
of Lady Jane of Westmoreland could have been attributed; and her sister
Frances, who also married a Henry Nevill (fourth Lord Abergavenny of
that name), is known to have been an authoress. An account of her will
be found in the first volume of the _Royal and Noble Authors_, by Park.
Lady Frances Abergavenny (whose work is entered on page 52. of Mr.
Collier's second volume), had an only daughter, who married Sir Thomas
Fane, and from this marriage the present Earl of Westmoreland is
descended.

NOTES IN ANSWER TO QUERIES.

_The Lobster in the Medal of the Pretender._

Your correspondent, Mr. B. NIGHTINGALE, desires an answer to his Query
(in your No. 4), Why is the figure of _a Lobster_ introduced into the
impression upon the rare medal struck 20th June, 1688, in contempt or
ridicule of Prince James Edward, the newly-born son of King James II.?

A reference to the two following works will, perhaps, supply the
answer:--
