Viewing Event Record: Players cannot play until the Queen is buried, and Richard Burbage is dead: Chamberlain

Abstract

John Chamberlain mentions in a letter to Sir Dudley Carleton of 19 March 1618/19 that the funeral for Queen Anne has been postponed until the 24th of the month, which is difficult for players because they are forbidden to play while she remains unburied. He also notes that Richard Burbage has recently died and is reported to have left £300 in land.
