Going down the 1568

A big important event that happened in Henry Carey is the northern uprising in 1569, but since I feel it would almost require more than one article I can't help but go through the early months or so that Henry went through before all that happen. I'm skipping on a lot fo thing.

The cecil paper are interesting enough because I've seen one reference in April of 1568 (entry 1171), where he seem he confered with the first Early of Moray. Which would be a somewhat earlier foray of into scottish affair by him (though It don't really seem to relate to his appointment at Berwick all that much).  

A rare apprerance by Anne Morgan here at 1210. 

The foreign papers gives a serie of instruction to Henry as soon as he appointed to the job. (2454 to 2458) and tell us of John Foster who will probably pop-into our story into the future. Supplies seem to be a pretty important thing for the job cause if you look at 2473-2474, it the first thing he talk is apparently him waitting for ammunition to be given to him (though its hardly like he don't need it) and apparently he felt the need to mention what he ate. Especially that 2481 he started asking the name of the scottish lord against Elizabeth and well the raids seem to be putting quite a strain on the ammo supplies (source, 2504).

At 2496 you'll him relate him a meeting between his son George (who would be about 21 by that time),  which interessting considering that some planned to marry the two. Though here he seem mostly being a proxy between his father and Mary Stuart.   Mary Stuart clearly being diplomatic with him on the matter of the raiding.

Well its kinda cool that Henry try to get a  pardon a man for apparently unjusticied accusation(2524) hopefully it was the right thing to do.

Ok I have to admit its really stupid but at 2534, it sorta can't help but imagine Knolly going to Berwick soley to criticise his brother in-law.  As for the fortication Hunsdon would say to the queen that he though the main wall was fine, but the town was disorganisne. (1211)(thugh they had some common ground as both of them were affected by the disease of the place and they were a pretty big problem on the marches)

Though in november Knolly would come up with the plan to mary George with Mary (2625),   with Henry being quite pissed about it and as he mention doing it out of his own initiative even though the boy wasn't his own. His interest in the matter was that he was in charge of Mary Stuart in her detention. I'd say Knolly plan male certain amount of sense, mainly securing that Mary stuart be tied to a protestant noble, the close ties between Carey family and Elizabeth line also help (as he mention in 2626), but also considering he'd be related to the king of the Scots probably wouldn't hurt him. (I'll try to write some around the scheme if possible though it doesn't seem to have gone further than that)

With all the talk of wall and how terrible the living condition are you'd think Hery Carey a guy in the Night Watch in game of throne. Mind you despiste the complaining he never seem to go want to leave. (it be hard to characterise him as a complaining since its pretty much a job that suck)
