from
Wikipedia
Between 1591 and 1592 Oxford disposed of the last of his large estates ; Castle Hedingham, the seat of his earldom, went to Lord Burghley, it was held in trust for Oxford's three daughters by his first marriage.
Harlekenden contrived to undervalue the land, then purchase it ( as well as other parcels that were not meant to be sold ) under his son's name ; the suits Oxford brought against Harlakenden for fraud dragged out for decades and were never settled in his lifetime.
