Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Cardinal Allen's Defence of Sir William Stanley's Surrender of Deventer: January 29, 1586-7
Stanley complained he had outlived his friends, and in the year 1624 he was constrained to go to Spain, in his old age, having now seen ninety-five years. This is not very precise as to the year when he had seen this ex treme age, and, unluckily, the account of the funeral wants the date of the year. In Tong's Visitation, 1532 3, Rowland Stanley has entered himself as unmarried, and we therefore place Stanley's birth in 1534, and take the now of Wadsworth to mean 1629, the date of his book.
