Notes |
- Sir Henry served as Governor of the Tower of London in 1554 under Queen Mary, and in that role, he acted as the gaoler of Mary's half sister, Princess Elizabeth.
Later, in 1558, Elizabeth become Queen Elizabeth I.
Sir Henry treated Elizabeth well (a fact which helped keep his head on his shoulders when she later became queen), though Elizabeth was to comment that if she ever needed to make use of a stern and strict gaoler she would call on Sir Henry.
He is buried in the Bedingfield Chapel at St. John's Church in Oxbourough, Norfolk.
