I am watching Mary Queen of Scots and I have completely forgotten what the story is about because I am too concentrated on Jack Lowden

It just saddens me how much of a bad rep the Dudleys went through. They are like my most favorite historical families even more so then the Tudors (though I LOVE Elizabeth). We need more Dudley family content. Or I need it so give me suggestions.

Margaret Audley, Duchess of Norfolk

Margaret Audley, Duchess of Norfolk

Margaret Audley was the eldest of two daughters born to Thomas Audley, Baron Audley of Walden and Elizabeth Grey and was born in 1540. Her younger sister, which I do not have a name, died around 1546 at Hendon in Middlesex. After the death of her sister, Margaret became the sole heir of her father’s possessions.

John Dudley made a beautiful carving on one of the walls of the Beauchamp Tower: the bear and ragged staff of the earls of Warwick and the double-tailed lion of the Dudleys (of Dudley Castle). Beneath the heraldic beasts he inscribed his name: “IOHN DVDLI”. Around this heraldic shield he carved a rebus in form of a flowery border, the meaning of which he explained in an (incomplete) verse below:

Yow that these beasts do wel behold and se  May deme with ease wherefore here made they be  Withe borders eke wherein [there may be found]  4 Brothers names who list to serche the grounde

The plants shown in the border symbolized his younger brothers’ names: roses for Ambrose, gillyflowers for Guildford, honeysuckle for Henry, and oak leaves and acorns for Robert, from the Latin word for oak, robur (x).

...And, to this day, there may be seen the beguilements of the three brothers in their misery. Lord Guildford carved the name JANE. (..). And around the badges and the name they signify are wreathed symmetrically; roses, acorns, geranimus, honeysuckles. The initial letters of these flowers stand for Robert, Ambrose, Guildford, and Henry. But other meanings lurk within the blossoms. The rose suggest Ambrose, and the oak Robert. A sprig of oak -the device of Lord Robert- with the letters R.D. appears also on the wall. (J.D. Richardson).
