Note 218 — Chapter XLIV

The forged letter is dated June 25, 1585, and calendared Feb. 16, 1590; Commission dated March 20, 1590, from the Privy Council to the Bishops of Meath and Leighlin, Sir L. Dillon, Sir N. White, Sir E. Moore, Sir E. Waterhouse, Walshe, J., and Calthorpe, A. G. Dillon and White to Burghley, June 26 and 28, 1590; Bishop Meredith to Burghley, July 13, 1590. Fitzwilliam’s letters are too numerous to cite; their general tenour bears out the text; many letters as to Trevor, especially Sir R. Bingham to G. Bingham, Oct. 29, 1591. For the priest Roughan see an amusing account in Strype’s Life of Aylmer, and for Perrott’s quarrel with Loftus and Jones see his Annals (Eliz.) book ii. chaps. 3 and 4. For evidence of Roughan’s perjuries see Morrin’s Patent Rolls, 42 Eliz. No. 21.
