Viewing Event Record: The Franco-Spanish war is more exciting than a play at Blackfriars: Conway to Wentworth

Abstract

Edward Conway writes to Thomas Wentworth about the excitement at court over the Franco-Spanish War: 'The Affairs of this Summer make more Noise Abroad than at Home. The Gallants of the Court are more impatient to hear the News of a Battle, than they are to have a Play begin at Black-Fryars.'
