Excerpt from Life of Sir Robert Dudley, Earl of Warwick and Duke of Northumberland Continuing my researches relating to the Dudleys, in various places, more especially in the public libraries of Florence, in the offices for registering marriages, deaths and births, in the Archives of State, at the Specola or Museum of Natural History and in buying and consulting all the old books I could find on the subject, I collected, in the course of many years, a large mass of documents and letters concerning the Dudley family.
