Charles, Viscount Musketry (so sum. v.p. in 1662), were, in 1663, among the Irish Roman Catholics who remon- strated with the King.

Appendix G. (^) James (Ley), 3rd Earl of Marlborough, Charles (Berkeley), Earl of Falmouth, and Sir Edward Broughton, perished at the same time and were similarly buried. See Chester's IVestm.

(8) In the Gramont Memoirs, cap. vii, she is said to have been cousin german to her husband, and described as having " the shape of a woman big with child without being so; but had a very good reason for limping; for of two legs uncommonly short, one was much shorter than the other. A face suitable to this description gave the finishing stroke to this disagreeable figure . . . Her two darling foibles were dress and dancing." She appears to have been a rich and silly woman who was made a butt of at Court. Her husband is mentioned in the same chapter as " a man of honour, rather serious, very severe, and a mortal enemy to ridicule." V.G.
