Fix this text“TOO MUCH FOR A KING,” SAID REGAL JAMES I
Fix this textA UDLEY END, near Saffron Waldon, in North Essex, was built
Fix this textby Thomas, Lord Howard de Walden, on the site of the monas-
Fix this texttery of Walden given to his grandfather, Lord Chancellor Audley,
Fix this textby Henry VIII. This Lord Howard de Walden, who had taken
