Re: English handwriting 1500-1700
Thank you, this is very helpful. I have some court documents from 1558
regarding Archbishop George Dowdall of Armagh, he died in London, during an
influenza epidemic which also killed Queen Mary, Cardinal Reginald Pole and
many more. This is an excellent guide and will be very helpful.

Hi Tim,
I have done extensive research on Archbishop George Dowdall and have a vast
collection of records regarding him. I cannot put my hands on the specific
record now, but London had periodic influenza outbreaks. At the time of
Archbishop Dowdall's visit to London one of the sources mentioned that when
he was was in London there was an outbreak of influenza which killed
Cardinal Pole and Queen Mary among others. The Archbishop came to London
with his family attorney Henry Long of Termonfeckin, County Louth. When the
Archbishop fell ill, he left his belongings in care of Henry Long who soon
after also succumbed to the same illness. --- Just found one of the
references:
Priests and Prelates of Armagh in the Age of Reformations 1518-1558
Henry A. Jefferies, Four Courts Press, Dublin, 1997 p.170
"Archbishop George Dowdall died in London on 15 August, 1558, possibly of
the same influenza as was shortly afterwards to end the lives of Cardinal
Pole and Queen Mary herself. (Source - Dowdall's Register, pp217-8 (115).
Interestingly at the synod of Armagh inter Anglicos in July 1558 the priests
were directed to celebrate the Mass of the Five precious wounds for the
health of the queen and king (Dowdall's register, p. 126)."
Is anyone aware of a painting that was done in 1542 of Henry VIII at the
time he conferred the title of Earl of Tyrone on Conn O'Neill? Dowdall was
one of two chaplains with O'Neill and greatly impressed Henry. Henry told
him he would make him Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland; he
did so the following year. I am trying to locate a portrait of the
Archbishop and have been unsuccessful so far. Possibly a painting was done
in 1542 when Henry declared himself King of Ireland and had O'Neill come to
London.

From an internet search it does not look as if they have ever been
