- http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/HOWARD2.htm#Frances%20HOWARD%20(C.%20Kildare/B.%20Cobham)
In the "Calendar of State Papers - Ireland" we read : "«i»The Queen to the vice treasurer for the Countess of Kildare «/i»(1602) «i»Francis «/i»(sic) «i»Cobham, late Countess of Kildare and late dowager of Henry, the late Earl of Kildare, has a jointure in Ireland, the profits whereof since our alteration of our coin there have become less beneficial to her, by reason of the charge there on exchange of moneys of that standard into the standard of England, where she lives in attendance upon our person.
Out of respect for her we are ready to extend to her a favour which we do not grant to others, and to declare that her jointure shall be of such value to her as if there had not been any change in our moneys. For every 100l of the new standard which she assigns shall hereafter deliver to you, you shall cause her to be paid 100l sterling here, without any defalcation for the exchange or any other charge which, by our late proclamation, is laid upon the exchange of moneys of Ireland into England; provided that the Countess do not bring to be exchanged in any year more than 700l.«/i»" «b»Frances«/b» was obviously a favorite of «u»«b»Queen Elizabeth <http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/aboutElizabeth.htm>«/u»«/b» to have been granted this financial advantage.
