** Chidiock Tichborne, English conspirator and poet ( executed ) ( b. 1558 )

** Chidiock Tichborne, English conspirator and poet ( d. 1586 )

This first group included Babington, Ballard, Chidiock Tichborne, Sir Thomas Salisbury, Robert Barnewell, John Savage and Henry Donn.

Chidiock descended from Sir Roger de Tichborne who owned land at Tichborne, near Winchester, in the twelfth century.

Chidiock Tichborne was never called Charles-this is an error that has grown from a misprint in the AQA GCSE English Literature syllabus which has included the Elegy in its early poetry section for several years.

His offer to Elizabeth of £ 1000 for his pardon was rejected, and the execution of the first seven ( including Babington, John Ballard, and Chidiock Tichborne ) took place on the 20th.

Chidiock's father secured the patronage of his distant kinsman, Lord Chidiock Paulet ( 1521 – 1574, son of the 1st Marquess of Winchester ), after whom he named his son.

Another poem in the volume is titled: Hendecasyllabon T. K. in Cygneam Cantionem Chideochi Tychborne and is an answer to Chidiock verses, most likely by the poet and dramatist Thomas Kyd, author of The Spanish Tragedy.

He also travelled in Morocco disguised as a Turkish sheikh, prospected for gold in Spain, befriended Buffalo Bill in Texas, and taught fencing in Mexico City, having travelled there by wagon train from San Antonio de Bexar with his young bride sic " Gabrielle Chidiock de la Balmondiere " a supposed half French half Chilean poet.

He secured an education and the patronage of Lord Chidiock Paulet.

At his execution Chidiock mentions his wife Agnes, one child, and his six sisters.

In 1649 Robert Tichborne petitioned the House of Commons in favour of the execution of Charles I.

Some time before October 1563 Edward's mother married Charles Tyrrell, a Gentleman Pensioner of much lower rank.

** Charles IX, 1560 – 1574 ( 1560 – 1563 under regency of Catherine de ' Medici )

* April 3 – Charles Blount, 1st Earl of Devon, English politician ( b. 1563 )

He held to the Catholic faith and thus won the support of Charles IX, and by 1563 appears to have fully reconstituted his father's establishment in Paris.

On 17 August 1563, Charles IX was declared of age at the Parlement of Rouen, but he was never able to rule on his own and showed little interest in government.

It was by his advice that thirteen-year-old Charles IX was declared of age at Rouen in August 1563, a measure which in actuality increased the power of the queen-mother Catherine de ' Medici as she battled the machinations of the Guise family.

Absolutist propaganda asserted that a lit de justice in its origins could take place before any parlement though, in practice, the appearance of Charles IX before the parlement of Rouen to enforce the enregistration of his Edict of Amboise ( 1563 ) was an innovation intended to discount the legislative role of the Parlement of Paris.
