For six years he was imprisoned in the Tower , being accused, with his brother Edward, of having taken part in the plot of Babington to effect the escape of Mary Queen Of Scots . On his release he retired to Hinlip Castle in Lancaster , where he gave asylum to the Jesuit Fathers, Henry Garnett and Oldcorne , accused of complicity in the Gunpowder Plot . For this he was condemned to death, but through the intervention of his son-in-law, Lord Monteagle , the sentence was commuted to exile. His "History of Edward IV " was published after his death and also an English translation of " Gildas " ( London , 1638 ). He also left in manuscript a "History of the Cathedral of Worcester " and "Researches into the Antiquities of Worcester". |
