Vellum document from the very end of her reign, dated 24th February 1602, being an arbitration award for lands near Deal in Kent, signed by Edward Somerset, Earl of Worcester, Richard Bancroft, Bishop of London and Henry, Lord Cobham, with large portion of Cobham's seal still present, with fine calligraphic initial letter and in good fresh and legible condition, with full transcript and notes. An interesting insight into Tudor law, signed by three powerful men. The dispute was between William Crayford of Mongham, Kent and William Vaughan of Pembridge, near Leominster, Herefordshire. Crayford is awarded the lands and an unusual aspect of this document is that Vaughan is then required to deliver up " all deedes evidences writtinges bylles and answeres depositions coppyes of all bookes and offices and all exemplifcacions of all offices verdites and depositions terrors serveyes, mappes cardes and all minimentes whatsoever..." Crayford is known to history, being recorded in the 'Armada Roll' as having given œ50 in 1588 for the defence of the Realm. Edward Somerset had just tried and condemned Elizabeth's favourite the Earl of Essex and was, three years later, to go on to examine Guy Fawkes. Cobham, little more than a year after this document, was involved in the conspiracy to place Arabella Stewart on the throne in succession to Elizabeth - for which he was condemned for treason. Bancroft was appointed Archbishop of Canterbury in 1604. (1) £150-200
