Comments Les Rowley
This is clearly the father of the Robert we think is Christopher's
father. It gives us his family. He is seriously wealthy, and has
some serious friends. nominating three "Sir"s, one a Baronet to oversea
his will. Also Mabella his wife was wealthy in her own right when they
married. What is that bit at the end giving his advisors a ring with a
death's head in it?
