During its repair, it was discovered that the armour was not originally
made for a horse, but for an elephant; and, on inquiry, it appeared that Bullock had purchased it, together with other curiosities, of a sailor, had taken it to pieces, and formed the armour for the horse. At the sale of Gwennap's collection, "The Norman Crusader" was knocked down by Geo. Robins to a Mr. Bentley, for 30_l_., and he being unable to _polish_ it, as he had intended, sold it to the authorities at the Tower for one hundred guineas, where it is exhibited as "The Norman Crusader." NASO. _Lady Jane of Westmoreland._ Sir,--On page 206. of Mr. Collier's second volume of _Extracts from the Registers of the Stationers' Company,_ the following entry occurs:--"1585-6. Cold and uncoth blowes, of the lady Jane of Westmorland." And on page 211., "A songe of Lady Jane of Westmorland." Mr. Collier considers these entries to refer to the same production. The name of Lady Jane of Westmoreland does not occur in Park's edition of _Royal and Noble Authors_; but it would clearly be entitled to a place there, if we can ascertain who she was. I have little doubt she was Jane, daughter of Thomas Manvers, first Earl of Rutland, and first wife of Henry Nevill, fifth Earl of Westmoreland, by whom she was mother of Charles, Earl of Westmoreland, one of the chiefs of the northern rebellion. |
