Dorothy Blagrave, widow to William Blagrave, submits a petition to the House of Lords regarding a grant by the Cockpit players. The petition refers to Christopher Beeston's deliberate quarrel with his company, Queen Henrietta Maria's Men, at the Cockpit/Phoenix 'to the end that he might have a company that would take what he would be willing to give them.' The result was that some members of the company left for the Blackfriars, others left for Salisbury Court where they retained the name of Queen Henrietta Maria's company.
