Found bag that may have once had the head of Sir Walter Raleigh
Found bag that may have once had the head of Sir Walter Raleigh
Sir Walter Raleigh has not been in the news for 400 years since he was beheaded on October 29, 1618. Last week, on the 400th anniversary of that event, he made headlines twice ... and one of the stories was again on His decapitation. Are we in a rebirth of Raleigh? Will the gentlemen begin to wear capes and look for women about to step on puddles? It's 2018 ... will the ladies return the favor?
"Contemporary accounts record that, after the head had been displayed for the crowd gathered after the execution, it was placed in a leather bag or red velvet and presented to Raleigh's widow, Elizabeth" Bess "Raleigh (1565 -1647) Her love for her husband was such that Bess arranged for her head to be embalmed and then kept her by her side until she died 29 years later, in West Horsley Place, where she had come to live with her son and family " .
Sir Walter first made the news when a Drawing found under painting on a wall in the Tower of London. He looked suspicious as he had done there as a prisoner, which would turn him into an early selfie. Last week, the curators of West Horsley Place announced that his resident over the same period, the widow Bess of Raleigh, kept his head disconnected in a bag after losing his body ... and that bag, lost since Bess's death, may have been found!
Is this bag suitable for a head? (Not the bag in history)
"In 1665, Carew Raleigh sold the property to Sir Edward Nicholas, First Secretary of Charles I and Charles II. It is known that some of the contents were included in the sale, including a collection of family portraits that remained in the patrimony until the beginning of the 20th century, but to date we have not been able to find more references to the red bag. It was widely presumed that the bag had been buried with the head of Sir Walter in 1660. "
Peter Pearce, director of Mary Roxburghe Trust, which is returning to West Horsley Place the glory it had when Henry VIII dined there for a 35-course lunch, said Peter Pearce, director of the Mary Roxburghe Foundation. The site alleges that a visiting scholar noticed a red velvet bag discovered after someone cleaned the attic to repair it. By connecting the dots, the authority on historical clothing inspected its design and material and dated the bag in the correct century. At that time, he was removed to be equipped with a model of Wally's dead head.
Why did not they keep it in a labeled container?
Is this the bag that once held Sir Walter's coat rack? There are some doubts because most folklore refers to him as a "leather" bag, which would make more sense to a head, although Bess had it embalmed. The photos of the bag do not show any stain, but they are only from the outside. Like the traitor Sir Walter, who was also a poet and a gentleman, what is inside is what counts, in the case of the bag, which would be hair, skin or other remains that can be analyzed with DNA.
Until the tests are done, all we have is a red velvet bag and the story of him leaving his cloak for the queen. Well, that story is false, so all we have is the stock market and the likelihood that Sir Walter Raleigh will be back in the news soon.
