On this day in Tudor history, 23rd July 1596, Henry Carey, 1st Baron Hunsdon, Privy Councillor and Lord Chamberlain, died at Somerset House in London. Hunsdon was, of course, the son of Mary Boleyn, nephew of the late Queen Anne Boleyn, and cousin and favourite of Queen Elizabeth I.
In today's talk, Claire Ridgway, founder of the Tudor Society, gives details of Hunsdon's background and his rise to prominence at Elizabeth I's court, as well as details on his burial and tomb.
