Note 342 — Chapter XLIX
Reading edition
Fenton to Cecil, April 12; Carew and Thomond to the Privy Council, April 18; Tyrone to O’More April 22/May 2; to Ormonde April 29/May 9 and May 26/June 6; to Lady Ormonde May 25/June 5; Ormonde to the Queen June 16—all these are in the memoir cited. Elizabeth, Lady Ormonde, was the Earl’s second wife, and daughter of John, second Lord Sheffield. In Eugene Magrath’s Irish panegyric on her husband (circ. 1580) every laudatory epithet is lavished on the ‘amiable, lovely, &c. countess.’ See this curious poem in Irish Arch. Journal (Kilkenny), i. p. 470.
