Note 35 — Chapter II · NEWGATE IN THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY.
Reading edition
This Benedict Spinola must have been an Italian with some influence. His personal relations with Burghley are manifest from a letter of congratulation sent by him to Burghley on the safe arrival of the Earl of Oxford at Milan. Other more or less confidential matters are mentioned in connection with Pasqual and Jacob Spinola, Benedict’s brothers.
