Ok once again I got back in time just as it look like things are moving
forward, but that's unintentional on my part (I swear). I first wanted to write
about Henry Carey as a tournament (apparently he was quite good at it if luminarium is to
be believe) and it would make sense since his characterisation is essentially the one of a guy that love to
fight.
My research however brought me to a most interesting book that turned
to be much more informative than I initially believed. The Devon Carys a 1920 book
that actually turn out to rifle with information on Henry Carey. It has a lot of information and it seem to
verify (I don't think that I'd consider him under the influence of his mother).
I won't cover everything mention in the book, but at least go to the point I am
now. Let us start at page 325.
Just a few things on the book, before I go to what actually got my
attention in the book.
-Harrison (the author) put down the marriage in London citing
the book I've already mention on the matter, though his reading a wee bit
different than mine and instead assume that the mention of "of the family
of the king" is not a refering to Henry, but to Anne (refering to the
household probably because of a post she was holding). Amusingly enough in
contrast to the "romantic" interpretation of William Standford/Mary
Boleyn that we have nowaday, Harrison say that his mother probably would have
been disappointed by his marriage. I wonder what exactly is meant when he say
that she brought him something of a character.
- Can't find a picture of the miniature (I think its the one called
potrait of Lady Hunsdon by Levina Teerlic, it
annoy me to no end)
-Henry did not only only voted for the reunion with Rome, but also for
Edward VI prayer book.
Now here something that blew my mind
Henry Carey may have been accused of taking part in some divination and
apparently was accuse of sending enchantement against the queen life.
Ok doing a nativity its sorta like doing an horoscope, but apparently
at the time it was considering pretty bad (considering apparently the group is
accused of killing a child and blind the other). (Page 328-329)
Its a thing that don't quite fit, since I haven't found anything that remotely
tied John Dee and Henry Carey
together so far. Heck its just refer to a Carey and has no mention whatsoever
of him being our man and the letter itself come from anyone tied directly to
Henry, although the letter does seem to indicate that we are talking about
people in Elizabeth household. (here some more source),
but while Dee did indeed got in trouble over the incident, Henry seem to have
gotten off without trouble. Then again the letter is dated from June and
according to Charlotte Fell Smith biography, Dee was out by august.
Apparently it was by 1553 that
Elizabeth and John Dee first got in touch and would continue to service her for
many years. So I'm incline to think that Henry got accuse because he too was
working with Elizabeth at the time.
