	Henry Brooke, 8th Baron Cobham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Henry Brooke, 8th or 11th Baron Cobham (November 22, 1564 – January 24, 1618 (Old Style)/February 3, 1619 (New Style)) was an English peer and traitor who was implicated in the Main Plot against the rule of James I of England.
		Cobham and Grey were to raise one-hundred and sixty thousand pounds (a figure that could be safely multiplied by twenty to convert to contemporary money) to bribe or hire an army.
		Cobham was to be the go-between with the Count of Aremberg, which would negotiate with the Spanish court for the money.

	Cobham - LoveToKnow Watches
		Cobham college, containing 20 almshouses, took the place, after the dissolution, of a college for priests founded by Sir John de Cobham in the 14th century.
		In 1313 Henry de Cobham was created Baron Cobham, but on the execution of Sir John Oldcastle (who had been summoned to parliament, jure uxoris, as Baron Cobham) in 1417, the barony lay dormant till revived in 1445 by Edward, son of Sir Thomas Brooke and Joan, grand-daughter of the 3rd Baron Cobham.
		In 1603 Henry Brooke, Lord Cobham, was arraigned for participation in the Raleigh conspiracy, and spent the remainder of his life in prison, where he died in 1618.

	Main Plot - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-20)
		The Main Plot was a conspiracy by English Catholics, allegedly led by lay Catholic Lord Cobham, to remove King James I of England from the English throne, replacing him by aid of Spain with his cousin Arabella (or Arbella) Stuart.
		Henry Brooke, 8th Lord Cobham, was to act as a negotiator.
		Cobham, too, was executed for his involvement in the Main plot in 1618.

	William Watson (Conspirator) - LoveToKnow Watches
		The plot was a complete failure; Henry Garnet and other Jesuits betrayed it to the authorities, and its principal authors were seized, Watson being captured in August at Hay on the Welsh border.
		Brooke's share in the earlier scheme caused suspicion to fall upon his brother Henry Brooke, Lord Cobham, the ally and brother-in-law of Sir Robert Cecil, afterwards earl of Salisbury.
		Cobham appears to have been in communication with Spain about the possibility of killing " the king and his cubs " and of placing Lady Arabella Stuart on the throne.

	Main Plot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The plot involved George Brooke and Lord Grey of Wilton raising a regiment and marching on London to take over the government.
		In the version of the plot presented at trial, Cobham was negotiating with the court of Aremberg to contact the Spanish court for a very large sum of money (approximately one-hundred and sixty thousand pounds).
		If George Brooke thought that informing on his brother would help him in his show trial for the Bye plot, he was wrong as Brooke was executed with the other Bye plot conspirators in 1603.

		The queen’s longtime advisor, Lord Burghley (William Cecil), had died in 1598 and her court was composed mostly of younger, unscrupulous courtiers vying for her favor and position.
		Henry Wriothesley, the Earl of Southampton, was eventually released by James I, reinstated as the Earl of Southampton, and continued to support Shakespeare.
		Henry Brooke, Lord Cobham, and Thomas de Wilton, Lord Grey, were both tried and convicted of treason against James I, Lord Grey dying in prison in 1614 and Lord Cobham dying in 1619 after suffering paralysis.

	William BROOKE (5° B. Cobham)
		Brooke's knighthood, conferred on 1 Dec 1548 during the second session of the Parliament, suggests that he then stood well with the Protectoral regime, although his connexion with Northampton must later have aligned him with Somerset's rival Northumberland.
		Brooke's election 18 months later for Rochester, which had been the starting-point of the rebellion, could therefore have given little satisfaction at court, and even less when towards the close of this Parliament he joined the opposition to one of the government's bills.
		Thenceforward, for nearly 40 years, Lord Cobham was a busy servant of the crown, entrusted with the defence of Kent, the mustering of soldiers, the suppression of piracy, the staying of ships in times of embargo and a host of minor duties committed to him as need arose by the Council.

	The Blackfriars Theatre
		Blackfriars was the location of many momentous events, such as the repudiation of Catherine of Aragón by Henry VIII, and the voting of the Parliament to charge Cardinal Wolsey with treason.
		In 1538, with the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII, the monastery was closed and the estates, which were comprised of many buildings and beautiful gardens on a large area of land, were divided up.
		In 1576, in the reign of Elizabeth I, some of the buildings on the western side of the property were leased to Richard Farrant, Master of the Children of the Chapel, so that the Children could rehearse and perform their plays in private before performing at court.

		When Elizabeth died, Watson hastened to Scotland to assure James I. of the loyalty of his party, and to forestall the Jesuits, who were suspected of intriguing with Spain.
		The new king did not, however, as was hoped, cease to exact the necessary fines; and the general dissatisfaction felt by the Roman Catholics gave rise to the " Bye plot," or " Watson's plot," in which connexion this priest's name is best known, and to its sequel the Main or Cobham's, plot.
		Before the executions took place, however,, the failure of the Bye plot had led to the discovery of the Main plot.

		Cobham's testimony had been made in a fit of rage and passion on the understanding that Ralegh had betrayed him.
		The thing is that, after Ralegh was tried and convicted essentially on the basis of these affidavits, Cobham was re-examined and made a new confession in which the accusations are fundamentally different.
		Lord Gray remains in the Tower until his death, Lord Cobham remains in the Tower until pretty nearly his death, and Ralegh, of course, remains there for many, many years, right through to 1616.

		In 1588, he joined Henry Stanley, Earl of Derby (who later became his kin through the marriage of his niece Elizabeth DeVere to Sir William Stanley, 6th Earl of Derby) and his unsuccessful mission to the Spanish Netherlands to negotiate peace with Spain.
		Towards the end of 1611 Cecil gradually became weaker, and after failing to secure a marriage for the young Prince Henry to Phillip III of Spain's sister, his physical deterioration was dramatic, and used as a metaphor for his corruption of power.
		Although it was a myth propagated by his enemies that he died of the pox, he was reputedly associated with at least two noblewomen at court, the Countess of Suffolk, wife of Thomas Howard, the Lord Chamberlain, and Lady Walsingham, Mistress of the Robes to Queen Anne of Denmark.

	Random House Publishing Group \| After Elizabeth by Leanda de Lisle
		Elizabeth herself was particularly close to the grandchildren of her aunt Mary Boleyn, a group known enviously as “the tribe of Dan.” The eldest, Lord Hunsdon, was the Lord Chamberlain, responsible for the conduct of the court.
		As the senior descendant of Henry VIII’s elder sister, Margaret, and her first husband, James IV, he was Elizabeth’s heir by the usual dynastic rules of primogeniture, but James was far from being the straightforward choice that this suggests.
		James was also personally excluded under a law dating back to the reign of Edward III precluding those born outside “the allegiance of the realm of England.” His hopes rested on the fact that the claims of his rivals were equally problematic.

		Captain Edward Hayes of Liverpool almost certainly helped to formulate Gosnold's plans, and Henry Brooke, Lord Cobham, was perhaps the expedition's prime mover.
		Its twin purposes were exploration and the establishment of a trading post, perhaps in Narragansett Bay, where Giovanni da Verrazzano had stayed in 1524.
		Jointly captained by Gosnold and Bartholomew Gilbert, the latter "Lord Cobham's man," the Concord passed the Azores on 14 April and on 14 May made landfall on the Maine coast.
