Sir John Hayward thus describes it,--

"and so after dinner, he (the Duke) was apprehended; Sir _Thomas

Palmer_, Sir _Thomas Arundel_, _Hamonde_, _Nudigates_, _John

Seymour_, and _David Seymour_, were also made prisoners, the Lord

_Gray_ being newly come out of the country was attached. Sir

_Ralph Vane_, being sent for, fled. Upon the first message it was

reported that he said that his Lord was not stout, and that if he

could get home he cared not for any; but upon pursuit he was

found in his servant's stable at Lambeth covered with straw. He

was a man of fierce spirit, both sudden and bold, of no evil

disposition, saving he thought scantiness of estate too great an

evil. All these were the same night sent to the Tower, except

Palmer, Arundel, and Vane, who were kept apart in the Court, well

guarded in chambers apart. After these followed Sir _Thomas

Holdcroft_, Sir _Miles Partridge_, Sir _Michael Stanhope_ and

others. The day following the Dutchess of _Somerset_ was sent to

the Tower, also with her were committed one _Crane_, and his

wife, and her own chamber woman. _Crane_ confessed for the most

part as _Palmer_ had done, and further added that the Lord

_Paget's_ house was the place, where the nobility being invited

to a banquet, should have lost their heads, and that the Earl of

_Arundel_ was made acquainted with the practice by Sir _Michael

Stanhope_. This _Crane_ was a man, who having consumed his own

estate, had armed himself to any mischief. All these were sworn

before the Council, and forthwith upon the information of

_Crane_, the Earl of _Arundel_, and Lord _Paget_ were sent to the

Tower."
