Cambridge or burst

In yet another 1564 event, event we have the visit of Elizabeth I in Cambridge that resulted in Henry getting his M.A in art. (source). It a bit hard to give any particular worth to that diploma has essentially it was almost "a everyone who showed up with her get a diploma" type of event. As you can see he was one of seventeen noble who got master that day (source) after what was about four day  at the place.

While he was residing at Clare Hall (source) his personal highlight was apparently relaying message between Andrew Perne and the queen, who mainly told him to put his cap on while he did a sermon (source). He also receive a Marzipan and a sugar loaf from the town(source) .

You can read more detail about Elizabeth visit here and here. I am rather amuse that visit apparent had to be stock in massive ammount in booze (but hey college right?)

Though I wonder if there is any connection between that event and Henry sudden interest in being a patron of the art around the same year. Also two decades later, Henry would become the keeper of cambridge.
