'In Norden's time' (says Lysons), 'the Arundells had twelve seats in Cornwall.'
Sir Thomas (afterwards Lord) Arundel of Wardour, 1595, at Strigonium (Gran), says, 'being arrived at the camp at the very instant of that great and onlie Battaile between us and the Turks, unknown unto anie, and uncommanded of anie, I presented myselfe in the front of the armie, where, by reason of my plumes of feathers, of my armour, bases and furniture, all full of gould and silver (a thing there altogether unusual), I was presently marked by all men's eyes.'—Vide 'Count Arundell's Apologie to Lord Burghley.' ([Vol. i., p. 58].)
