Going on Pause
Sorry people, but I won't be posting new article for a while, my quality been dropping and part of it is because is that my approach don't quite work as well as it use to be beause while we can keep track on Lord Hunsdon its hard to make something out of it that fit the form of the blog. The information has gone somewhat too sparse and need more reflection. I no longer think this is the proper format for my work.

Lord Hunsdon's bard
I'll go back on the topic of
Shakespeare and Henry Carey a little later, but when time will be there, here
something until we get to there I think I'll try to dissimulate any thought
that he was an imposing presence in the author life. He was the sponsor of his
troop and one candidate for the famous dark lady was the mistress of him. Shakespeare exact place in the company was more
minor and actually the bard while he was gaining in prominence was more minor
at the time. I'm not even sure the two had any chance to have interact
directly.

Watching grass grow
One of the few known things that Henry Carey took interest in was
actually Botany. It a bit hard to know just how much it was an interest in him,
there at least one description of those plant coming from the furtherst part of
the earth (source)
apparently even coming from south america (source),
though that's far impressive especially if you consider that its a time the
frontier is being redefined. He actually had patronized some work on medicinal
herb (source).
If I dare speculate I have the impression, that with the level of disease he
saw on the border, its not really suprising he did so, though it may just be
personal interest.

London flat
It seem that in order to have a place to reside in London when at the
court (but also to probably ensure housekeeping) Elizabeth lended Sommersett House (look
at it the current building is quite beautful, though I couldn't manage to find
what it look like in 1574 at best here
17th century) technically the place was still royal property (unlike
Hundson house who was all Henry) . The estate was kept in the care of his
family even after his death as his wife was made keeper shortly after.
