All About History Books
The Chronicle of Walter of Guisborough, a canon regular of the Augustinian Guisborough Priory, Yorkshire, formerly known as The Chronicle of Walter of Hemingburgh, describes the period from 1066 to 1346. Before 1274 the Chronicle is based on other works. Thereafter, the Chronicle is original, and a remarkable source for the events of the time. This book provides a translation of the Chronicle from that date. The Latin source for our translation is the 1849 work edited by Hans Claude Hamilton. Hamilton, in his preface, says: "In the present work we behold perhaps one of the finest samples of our early chronicles, both as regards the value of the events recorded, and the correctness with which they are detailed; Nor will the pleasing style of composition be lightly passed over by those capable of seeing reflected from it the tokens of a vigorous and cultivated mind, and a favourable specimen of the learning and taste of the age in which it was framed." Available at Amazon in eBook and Paperback.
Paternal Family Tree: Bulstrode
Maternal Family Tree: Cecily Bulstrode 1515
On 28th May 1571 [her father] Edward Bulstrode of Hedgerley Bulstrode Buckinghamshire and [her mother] Cecily Croke (age 16) were married at St Dunstan's in the West, Fleet Street [Map]. They were second cousins.
In 1592 Dorothy Bulstrode was born to Edward Bulstrode of Hedgerley Bulstrode Buckinghamshire and Cecily Croke (age 37).
In 1598 [her father] Edward Bulstrode of Hedgerley Bulstrode Buckinghamshire died. He was buried in St Laurence's Church Upton cum Chalvey Slough, Berkshire.
Around 1605 Dorothy Bulstrode (age 13) was appointed Lady in Waiting to Anne of Denmark Queen Consort Scotland England and Ireland (age 30).
Around 1610 John Eyre (age 30) and Dorothy Bulstrode (age 18) were married.
On 4th July 1610 Anne of Denmark Queen Consort Scotland England and Ireland (age 35) gave Dorothy Bulstrode (age 18) a gown of ash-colour taffeta.
On 14th October 1610 Anne of Denmark Queen Consort Scotland England and Ireland (age 35) gave Dorothy Bulstrode (age 18) a gown of black satin.
In 1611 [her husband] John Eyre (age 31) and Dorothy Bulstrode (age 19) attempted to murder Edward Herbert 1st Baron Herbert Chirbury (age 28) who he suspected of having an affair with his wife (Dorothy Bulstrode). Eyre and four accomplices caught up with Herbert and his two footmen at Scotland Yard as he was leaving Whitehall Palace [Map], and wounded his horse several times. Eyre broke Herbert's sword. Twenty more men appeared, Herbert thought them Eyre's supporters and attendants of the Earl of Suffolk (age 49). Two other men helped Herbert, and after a prolonged struggle he wounded Eyre, who was carried to the Thames vomiting. A few days later Eyre sent a message that he would kill Herbert with "a musket out of a window". Meanwhile, because Eyre claimed Dorothy had confessd to being unfaithful, she sent a letter to her aunt Lady Croke (Note. probably [her aunt] Prudence Croke (age 44) possibly [her aunt] Elizabeth Croke denying this, and Herbert was able to give this letter to the Privy Council. The Duke of Lennox (age 36) said that John Eyre was "the most miserable man living" because of the shame of Dorothy's letter, and because his father had disinherited him on hearing of the assault.
In 1650 Dorothy Bulstrode (age 58) died. She was buried in St Mary's Church, Upton Grey.
