also had an immediate personal estate of £153 15s.,
viz. in debts £136,751 iss., and in ready money
£17,000, without the jewels, plate, and household
stuff.
His widow was remarried to Dudley
Carleton, Viscount Dorchester. His son
and heir, Paul, Viscount Bayning, was
born in 161 6, paid the king £18,000 for the
fine of his wardship, and for charges about
the same, £ 185. He died at Bentley Hall,
June II, 1638, and was buried in a vault
in this church. By his Lady Penelope,
only daughter and heir of Sir Robert
Naunton, Knight, Master of the Court of
Wards and Liveries, and once Secretary
of State (remarried afterwards to Philip,
Earl of Pembrook) he had two daughters,
Anne, and Penelope, born in November,
after his decease. Anne, the eldest, was
married to Aubrey de Vere, the twentieth
and last Earl of Oxford, of that most
noble and ancient family. Her large for-
tune was a reasonable and necessary sup-
ply and recruit to the estate of that family,
which had been greatly impaired and
almost ruined by the passionate extravagance
of his ancestor, Edward, Earl of
Oxford, in Queen Elizabeth's reign. But
by this Lady, who died in September,
1659, he had no surviving issue. Pene-
