Samuel Pepys' Diary. 28th April 1661. Lord's Day. In the morning to my father's, where I dined, and in the afternoon to their church, where come [her future sister-in-law] Mrs. Turner [aged 38] and Mrs. Edward Pepys, and several other ladies, and so I went out of the pew into another. And after sermon home with them, and there staid a while and talked with them and was sent for to my father's, where my cozen Angier and his wife, of Cambridge, to whom I went, and was glad to see them, and sent for wine for them, and they supped with my father.
Before 1663 Edward Pepys [aged 45] and Elizabeth Walpole were married.
Samuel Pepys' Diary. 5th June 1663. So to Mr. Turner's, and there saw [her husband] Mr. Edward Pepys's [aged 46] lady, who my wife concurs with me to be very pretty, as most women we ever saw.
Samuel Pepys' Diary. 17th June 1663. This day I sent my cozen [her husband] Edward Pepys [aged 46] his Lady, at my cozen Turner's, a piece of venison given me yesterday, and [her sister-in-law] Madam Turner [aged 40] I sent for a dozen bottles of her's, to fill with wine for her. This day I met with Pierce the surgeon, who tells me that the King [aged 33] has made peace between Mr. Edward Montagu [aged 28] and his father Lord Montagu, and that all is well again; at which; for the family's sake, I am very glad, but do not think it will hold long.
Around 15th December 1663 [her husband] Edward Pepys [aged 46] died. He was buried at All Saints and St Andrew's Church, Norfolk [Map].
Samuel Pepys' Diary. 15th December 1663. Before I was up, my brother's man came to tell me that my cozen, [her husband] Edward Pepys [aged 46], was dead, died at [her sister-in-law] Mrs. Turner's [aged 40], for which my wife and I are very sorry, and the more for that his wife was the only handsome woman of our name.
Samuel Pepys' Diary. 17th December 1663. After he was gone I sat an houre talking of the suddennesse of [her former husband] his [deceased] death within 7 days, and how by little and little death came upon him, neither he nor they thinking it would come to that. He died after a day's raveing, through lightness in his head for want of sleep. His lady did not know of his sickness, nor do they hear yet how she takes it.
The True Chronicles of Jean le Bel Volume 2 Chapters 61-109 1342-1361
The Chronicle of Jean le Bel, Volume 2 continues one of the most important fourteenth-century accounts of the early Hundred Years’ War. Written by the Liège chronicler Jean le Bel, this vivid narrative follows the fortunes of Edward III, Jean II of France, the Black Prince, the great nobles of France and England, and the soldiers, captains and companies who shaped the conflict. This volume covers some of the most dramatic events of the period, including the battles of Crécy and Poitiers, the siege and capture of Calais, the captivity of King John, the rise of the Jacquerie, the turmoil in Paris under Étienne Marcel and Charles of Navarre, the devastation caused by the free companies, Edward III’s great campaign of 1359–1360, and the negotiations leading to the Treaty of Brétigny. Jean le Bel’s chronicle is especially valuable for its lively detail, its interest in chivalry, warfare, politics and reputation, and its influence on later chroniclers, most famously Froissart. This English translation presents the text in clear, readable British English while preserving the force and character of the original narrative. The translation includes extensive notes to help the reader better understand Jean le Bel's text. Volume 2 also includes translated appendices drawn from royal and administrative records, many from the English Record Office, which illuminate Edward III’s campaigns in Brittany, the siege and occupation of Calais, naval preparations, military finance, appointments, safe conducts and related affairs.
