We have yet to commence 1603, but I have a question concerning the Duke of Buckingham's impeachment 25 years later. The 12th article of the impeachment refers to an attached schedule that details the monies accumulated by Buckingham since his introduction to the Court--amounting to hundreds of thousands of pounds. In his defence, Buckingham refers to another schedule that gives a "truer" accounting.
Where are these schedules to be found?
Update: I found the schedule from the charge in, of all places, Fairholt's "Poems and Songs Relating to George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham", pp. x-xiii. No luck yet on the counter-schedule, though.
