One has to be a bit careful when
talking about the traits of character of an historical figure especially when
centuries separate them. Heck it's a difficult thing to do in everyday life.
Henry Carey being a secondary player in history also ended up making very
little description of his behaviour compare to some. Although there is some
that exist. Recent edition of the queen
elizabeth (which I swore were not online previously) have extract of two text that give quite a
good idea of how other perceived him (note).
I had seen them previously in their original source, though it is a bit more convenient
to have the put together. Also one thing I've seen him being a bit more vocal
is in a letter to Lord Burghley (185), but
the very notable part is that Henry demonstrate criticism of Elizabeth pretty
much saying that her indecisiveness over the duke indecision was causing issue
in fairly plain term to it midly (Calling her careless, to the point of not
worrying for her own life and how full of consequence that be for kingdom if
she bite the dust, I wouldn't be surprised if its Hunsdon was allowed more bluntness
because of the family connection) since they seem to be something of a grudge
over his son (not sure which) fell into disgrace with her and saying that (125) that
she treated her enemies better than her friend.
