Note 39 — Chapter II · THE PAVEMENT
Reading edition
It may interest English readers to be reminded that, at the famous fête given at Kenilworth Castle by the Earl of Leicester in the summer of 1575, the first group of fantastic personages that approached to greet the Virgin Queen on her arrival were robed in the likeness of ten Sibyls.
See Queen Elizabeth, by Mandell Creighton, late Bishop of London, p. 156. (Longmans, London, 1899.)
