Eleanor CAREY (Nun at Wilton Abbey)

Born: ABT 1496, Clovelly, Devonshire, England

Died: AFT 1528

Notes: was a nun at Wilton Abbey, a large Benedictine nunnery located some seventy miles from London. When the abbess, Cecily Willoughby, died on 24 Apr 1528, the prioress, Isabel Jordan or Jordayn, whose sister Agnes was the abbess at Syon, was the natural successor. She was "ancient, wise, and discreet". But Eleanor Carey's name was also proposed, and Eleanor had the backing of Anne Boleyn. Cardinal Wolsey, supporting Isabel Jordan, ordered that Eleanor’s background be thoroughly investigated. It soon came out that Eleanor had borne two children out of wedlock to two different priests and had more recently been involved with a servant in Lord Willoughby de Broke's household. Eleanor's eldest sister, also a nun at Wilton, was then proposed as a compromise candidate. This may have been Anne Carey. In Jul, the King decided that none of them should have the post, but Wolsey went ahead with Dame Isabel’s appointment anyway, precipitating the first violent disagreement between King and Cardinal. What happened to Eleanor Carey after that is unknown.

Henry CAREY (1º V. Falkland)

Born: ABT 1576, Aldenham, Hertfordshire, England

Acceded: 14 Nov 1620

Buried: 25 Sep 1633, Aldenham, Hertfordshire, England

Notes: Lord Caye, Member of Parliament. The Complete Peerage vol.V,pp.239-240. A coloniser and military officer. He was born in England and educated at Exeter College, Oxford. He served in France and the Low Countries, and was taken prisoner by Don Luis de Velasco, probably at the siege of Ostend. On his return to England Cary was introduced to court, and became Gentleman of the Bedchamber. He was knighted at Dublin in 1599. In 1601 he was elected Member of Parliamentfor Hertfordshire. He was a J.P. for Hertfordshire in 1601. He became joint master of the jewels with his father on 21 Jun 1603. In 1604 he was re-elected MP for Hertfordshire. In 1611 he became a supporter of the Northwest Passage Company and was knighted in 1616. Carey was created first Viscount Falkland and Lord Deputy of Ireland in 1620. In that year he proposed a colony in Newfoundland for settlement by Irish colonists. Carey was linked to the London and Bristol Company which had initiated colonisation of Newfoundland through his wife who was the daughter of Sir Laurence Tanfield, one of the leaders of the Company. In 1620 the company granted him a large tract of land in the Bonavista Peninsula which became known as North Falkland. Soon after William Vaughan sold part of his land to Carey. In 1623, Carey appointed Sir Francis Tanfield, his wife's cousin, to be the colony's first Proprietary Governor. Tanfield established the colony of South Falkland in 1623. It was still in existence by 1626 but ultimately failed and Carey granted much of his land to Sir Henry Salisbury who had been Carey's only known investor.

Carey married in 1602 Elizabeth Tanfield, daughter and heiress of Sir Lawrence Tanfield, lord chief baron of the exchequer, and his wife Elizabeth Symonds, daughter of Giles Symondes of Claye, Norfolk. She was aged fifteen at the time of the marriage and had a high reputation for her learning. In very early years she showed a strong inclination for the study of languages, mastering French, Spanish, Italian, Latin, Hebrew, and Transylvanian. As the result of her study of the fathers, she was converted to the Catholic faith, when about nineteen years of age. Elizabeth accompanied her husband to Dublin, where she took a great interest in the establishment of industrial schools. When Carey learned of her change of faith they quarreled, and she left Dublin in 1625. The Privy Council allowed her a separate maintenance of £500 a year. Carey served as Lord Deputy of Ireland until 1629 when he returned to England. After Carey's return to England, he and Elizabeth became reconciled, but continued to live separately. On account of her change of faith her father probably passed her over in his will. Carey died from a leg amputation in 1633. When her husband died Elizabeth had only the annuity of £200 a year given her by her parents. She died in Oct 1639.

Lucius CAREY (2º V. Falkland)

Born: ABT 1610, Aldenham, Hertfordshire, England

Died: 20 Sep 1643, Battle of Newbury, Berkshire, England

Buried: 23 Sep 1643, Great Tew, Oxfordshire, England

Notes: In 1642 Carey sold Aldenham House to Sir Job Harby, a staunch Royalist. The house later became the property of Denzil Holles in 1663. It was completely restored in the 19th century, but has many 16th and 17th century internal features. Lord Falkland has been described as both the most noble and most pathetic figure of the Civil Wars. Prior to the Wars he was a member for Newport, I.O.W. and was a moderate, but when war broke out his allegiances were clearly with the King. He has been described as an extremely intelligent and knowledgeable man, a philosopher and poet, noble and gallant. However it is well documented that by his own word he was sickened by the plight of the age and developed a melancholy that degenerated into a morbid death wish, seeing no end to the war. When he charged headlong to his death at the first battle of Newbury in Sep 1643, he committed a gallant suicide and met the death for which he had longed. He charged his mount through a heavily guarded gap in a hedgerow and Parliamentarian musketeers easily picked him off. He was shot through the neck, stripped naked and was identified after the day-long battle by a mole on his neck. His body was returned home and later interred at Great Tew church. There now stands a memorial to Lord Falkland at the Newbury battle site.
