Henry Herbert records that on 9 April 1640 the Lord Chamberlain (Philip Herbert, Earl of Pembroke and Montgomery) sponsored and paid for a performance of William Habington's 'Cleodora, Queen of Aragon' at Whitehall for the king and queen. The play was performed 'by my lords servants our of his own family' [rather than the King's Men, to whom the play was licensed] and acted a second time after royal approbation.
