Viewing Event Record: Thomas Howard, earl of Suffolk, erroneously reports the death of Edward Alleyn

Abstract

In a letter to Viscount Rochester, Thomas Howard reports that 'Alleyn that had the office of the bears' has passed away, and that the vacant position should be filled by one Tom Badger. Since Alleyn does not die until 1626 and the letter dates from 1612, Howard appears to have been misinformed.
