inherit (from her father) the Earl of Shrewsbury's property. 2) When Bess's marriage with the 6th Earl of Shrewsbury fell into difficulties, Cavendish sided with his stepfather against his mother. 3) His mother also objected to Henry's developing friendship with Mary Queen of Scots, Bess's nemesis. (Bess had accused Mary of seducing her husband and possibly bearing him two children, though she later retracted this rumour . For her part, Mary attributed their animosity to her own great displeasure with Bess upon discovery that she was secretly raising Arabella Stuart (Mary's niece and a girl to whom she had shown great kindness to during their mutual confinement in Bess's homes) with designs to weaken her own claim and place the girl on the throne). 4) Bess later claimed a subsequent unforgivable offence by her son, Henry, when he attempted to help his niece, Arbella Stuart, escape from Bess's oppressive "care". It was his collaboration during the botched rescue attempt with Stapleton, a Yorkshire Catholic, that proved to be the last straw. This infuriated Bess of Hardwick so much that she forever after referred to her eldest as "my bad son Henry".

1602 just as Arabella had despaired of ever making an approved match and began to plot her own marriage to Edward Seymour. Both young people were claimants to the throne. (Arabella would later secretly marry his brother William.) With the help of a horse lent to her by her Uncle Henry Cavendish, Arabella sent a message to Edward via her most trusted servant, Dodderage. But Edwards father, the Earl of Hertford outed them to the Queen. On January 7th, 1603, Sir Henry Bronker, the Queen of England's right-hand-man, arrived at Hardwick. He gave a letter to Bess and asked to speak with Arabella in private. Arabella was ordered to write her confession but would not comply. He eventually wrote it and she signed it, begging pardon from the Queen.

Instead, she had been fostering trade agreements with the wider Islamic world since the 1560's but her influence and relationships were weakening toward the end of her life. Edward Barton was the Queens trade ambassador, resident in Constantinople in 1589; someone Henry is likely to have met. Much of England's trade aims would have likely been brokered by Jewish mediators who regularly acted in the region as trade and political intermediaries between the sultans and Anglo-merchants. Also, highly influential and someone Henry may have met, Safiye Sultan, queen mother of the royal harem and her

common bull of Derbyshire and Staffordshire" and a libertine. Sadly, as his immoral behaviour was no different to many other a promiscuous peer of this era, the possibility of politically motivated libel or biased historic narrative must be considered. There is an alternate narrative that he cared deeply for one mistress, the love of his life and mother of his children, working tirelessly for she and their children's welfare. This offers another possible reason for Henry's ongoing issue of debt (in the support of two households), and also a deeply sad reason for the lifelong suffering of his wife, Lady Grace. Tragedy seems to have hallmarked both of their lives.

married William Seymour (1610), Edwards brother, hoping for a life of peace with him overseas away from British politics. The Crown feared this marriage would be used by the Catholics and Arbella was arrested by James VI an I for marrying without royal permission. Her aunt, Mary Talbot, went so far as to arrange her escape from the Tower of London to France. Arbella was apprehended before she reached Calais and subsequently died from a hunger strike in the tower. Mary Talbot was also incarcerated in the Tower for 6 years (1611-1618) for her participation in what was deemed a Catholic plot and only released after paying an enormous ransom.

Henry is symbolically depicted by his armour, which hangs on the wall and a magnificent carved marble statue of Mars- God of War, by Maxamillion Colt. But it is the startlingly realistic bare bones of his effigy that says the most about the man, indicating his disavowal of his mother's values and resistance to participate in her dynastic agenda. It may be that Lady Bess attempted to shame him beyond the grave by this design.... or (as her death preceded his) it may well refer to Henry's own sense of humour and choice, a final act of defiance to conformity. 305: 674: 205: 619:(reason for conflict unknown).
