page 303 note 2 Alvarez, Fernández, Tres Embajadores, 16Google Scholar. There exists in the Medinaceli archive a series of holograph private letters from Philip II to Feria during the winter of 1558–9. Thanks to the kindness of Dr P. D. Lagomarsino of Dartmouth College, we have been able to examine photocopies of these letters, but cannot cite them, in view of the imminent publication of the collection by the duke of Medinaceli's archivist. This correspondence does not, however, contradict or qualify anything we have said here.

page 304 note 5 Conyers Read noted discrepancies between the versions printed by González, Tytler, Froude and Kervyn de Lettenhove, but believed Kervyn de Lettenhove to have transcribed from the original, see Mr. Secretary Cecil and Queen Elizabeth (1955), 118–19Google Scholar, nn. 2–3. Emmison, F. G., Tudor Secretary, Sir William Petre at Court and Home (1961), 226Google Scholar, n.1, observed discrepancies between Tytler and Froude. SirNeale, John, ‘The accession of Queen Elizabeth’, Essays in Elizabethan History (1958), 46–7Google Scholar, employed Rel. Pol., while Hudson, W.

See A. G. S., E. 811, f. 137, and Philip's answer of 25 Nov., E. 8340, f.92bis.

page 308 note 5 For the arrival of the bishop of Aquila see below, p. 326 and n. 47. The official reason for Feria's retirement was his inclusion among the hostages nominated by the French for the ratification of the treaty of Cateau-Cambrésis.

Appointed to the privy council on 23 Sept. 1557; during the same year he received the deaneries of Peterborough, Norwich and Windsor. Imprisoned in June 1560 for refusing the oath of supremacy. In Apr. 1559 Boxall attempted through Feria to persuade Elizabeth to reject the new prayer book, see E. Sandys to M.

S., E. 823, f. 150v for Feria's contribution to the debate over the Ridolphi Plot in the consejo de estado on 7 July 1571. Alba, who opposed the enterprise of England and considered Feria a lightweight, was highly critical of his influence, see Madrid, Institute de Valencia de Don Juan, Envio 67, art. 1 (probably Don Luis de Requesens to Andreas Ponce de Leon, ?Jan. 1574). We are very grateful to Professor Parker for supplying us with the latter two references.
