Comments Les Rowley
This is clearly the father of the Robert we think is Christopher's
father. It gives us his family. He is seriously wealthy, and
has some serious friends. nominating three "Sir"s, one a
Baronet to oversea his will. Also Mabella his wife was wealthy in
her own right when they married. What is that bit at the end
giving his advisors a ring with a death's head in it?
Comments by Joan.
