Charles Wriothesley
He left no will, and the great library of books that he had inherited from his father was sold after his death, many of its contents to Gilbert Dethick and his son William, the founders of a new heraldic dynasty.The death of Thomas Wriothesley on 24 November 1534 set a series of promotions at the College of Arms into motion.When Thomas Wall died in 1536, after only two years' tenure as Garter, Wriothesley found himself overlooked for the promotion to his father's and grandfather's office.His name appears in the charter of 1554 whereby King Philip and Queen Mary I established the heralds and their successors as a corporation with perpetual succession and granted them the house called Derby Place in which to keep safe their records and rolls and all things touching their faculty.This chronicle of English affairs, detailing the accession of Henry VII to the first year of the reign of Elizabeth I, edited by William Douglas Hamilton [Wikidata], was published in two volumes, by the Camden Society in 1875.
