Summary: On this day in Tudor history, 17th September 1563, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, courtier and soldier Henry Manners, 2nd Earl of Rutland, died during an outbreak of the plague, which was rife in London that year and killed about 24% of London's citizens. Manners served King Henry VIII, King Edward VI, Queen Mary I and Queen Elizabeth I, so had a long and interesting career, which also saw him imprisoned at one point. His tomb "is a reflection of the religious changes and turmoil of the period" and you can see photos of it at https://www.bottesfordhistory.org.uk/content/places/places-of-worship/st-marys-architecture-and-monuments/st-marys-bottesford-phase-v-ii-monument-to-henry-manners-2nd-earl-of-rutland You can see this podcast as a video at the following link: https://youtu.be/BL4FJYGMDXM You can find Claire at: https://www.theanneboleynfiles.com https://www.tudorsociety.com https://www.facebook.com/theanneboleynfiles/ https://www.facebook.com/tudorsociety/ https://twitter.com/AnneBoleynFiles https://twitter.com/thetudorsociety https://www.instagram.com/tudor.society/ https://www.instagram.com/anneboleynfiles/
