Edward Zouch

[2] In 1635 Reverend George Garrard, who had been at court in the household of Prince Henry, recalled that Silken was a "homely woman" and Zouch had married her for her money.[11] In January 1618 he acted with other courtiers at Theobalds led by Sir John Finet in an interlude featuring "Tom of Bedlam the Tinker" intended to amuse the king who was suffering from gout.The King was displeased by the play, especially the lyrics sung or written by Finet, and John Chamberlain was surprised that "none had the judgement to see how unfit it was to bring such beastly gear in public before a prince".[14] A later 17th-century version of the story places these entertainments at an earlier date, associated with the rise of George Villiers, 1st Duke of Buckingham as a royal favourite.[17] On 5 August Zouch acted in a comedy for the king at Salisbury in character as a "bearward" or keeper of bears, probably in "the house of Mr Sadler".[22] In June 1609 Simon Basil, the surveyor of the royal works came to Woking to estimate costs for repairs to the manor, office houses, and two bridges.In November 1620 Zouch was given the manors of Woking, Bagshot, and Chobham, with the proviso that he should return the service of carrying the first dish to the king's table and pay £100.He hunted towards Busbridge, and wrote to the Duke of Buckingham that he would stay longer, "so earnest I am to kill more of Zouch's great stags.There is a Latin memorial inscription to Zouch placed by his wife in St Peters Church at Old Woking, noting his court position as "Marescalli Aulici", or "Marshall of the Household".
