Hen. VIII.

6. WILLIAM KKNGSTON, Mil.]

I read in an industrious * Author, that Sir Will. Kingston was created by K. Hen. 8. Knight of the Garter, which I humbly conceive to be a mistake, having several exact Catalogues of all admitted into that Order, amongst whom he doth not appear; yet was he Lieutenant of the Tower, and Captain of the Guard to K. Hen. 8. by whom he was much trusted and employed. Cardinal Wolsey had it given him in advice, to beware of *Kingston, which he mistook for the Market Town in Surry well known, and therefore declined going thither, though many miles his nearer way, in passage to the Court. But at last he found this our Sir Anthony his formidable & fatal Kingston, when sent to fetch him out of the North, with some of the Gua•…d. And, though he treated the Card. most cour∣teously (saluting him on his * knees) yet the sight of him went to his heart, dying with∣in few days after.
