Narrative

The Queen died in 1603. Thomas and his half-brother Robert were created earls on the same day by King James I in 1605; Robert as Earl of Salisbury in the morning, and Thomas as Earl of Exeter after lunch. The family had no connection with Exeter, it was simply a title that was free because the previous holder had been attainted for treason. Thomas had earned the title by serving Elizabeth and James well. The new King, James I, was invited to stay at Burghley by Thomas, one of the first English peers to ask the King to his home.

Sir Henry Percy wrote to William Percy of Dorothy Neville at the age of 15: For both is she very wise, sober of behavior, womanly, and in her doings so temperate as if she barw the age of double her years, of stature like to be goodly, and of beauty very well. Her hair brown, yet her complexion very fair and clear, the favour of her face everybody may judge it to have both grace and wisdom.
