monies performed at the burial of a Royal Princess may find in
the Appendix to the Rev. Joseph Stevenson's second volume of
"Calendars of the Elizabethan State Papers," an extremely inte-
resting description of the burial of Queen Mary of England, the
charges for whose interment in Westminster Abbey amounted to
7,662l. 1s. 9d.

In conclusion, the following short account from Stowe's
"Chronicle of the Removal of the Remains of Mary from Peter-
borough Cathedral to their Final Resting-Place" may not be
considered inappropriate:--

" 1612. At this time the corps of Queene Mary, late Queene
"of Scotland, was translated from Peterborough unto Saint
"Peter's Church in Westminster, beeing thither attended by the
"Lord Bishop of Coventry and Litchfield. And upon Thursday,
"the eight of October, the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury, the
"Lord Chancelor, the Lord Privy Seale, and the Earle of
"Worcester, and other noblemen, and the Bishop of Rochester
"and the Deane of Westminster, met the corps at Clearkenwell
"about sixe a clock in the evening, and from thence, with plenty
"of torchlights, brought the body of the sayd Queen unto the
"Chappell Royall at Westminster, and on the south side thereof
"it was there interred that night, where the King had builded a
"most royall Tombe for her, where she now resteth." ( Stowe,
ed. Howes, A.D. 1631, p. 1002.)

The churchwardens of St. Margaret's Westminster paid "to
"Michael Stockdale, for ringing when the Queen of Scots was
"buried in St. Peter's Church, 2s. 6d."
