Note: Berkshire is where Thomas Yates lived and by looking at a map of England, I
guess Berkshire to be about 80 miles directly west of London. The English channel
looks to be about 100 miles south of Berkshire. Thomas lived to be 86 years old.
That is quite old for that time. During Thomas's life, the final years of Queen Elizabeth
1's reign. Elizabeth was the daughter of Henry the eight. Her reign was marred by an Irish insurrection (1598-1602), and by the conviction of treason and subsequent execution of Robert Devereux, Earl of Essex, her quondam paramour. On the death of Elizabeth, England was ruled by the Stuart Dynasty of James 1.
