Honora Denny

Their marriage was celebrated by Lord Hay's Masque written by Thomas Campion and staged on 6 January 1607.

A third Venetian diplomat, Giovanni Rizzardo investigated their quarrel and found that the queen and Lady Hay had promoted Muscorno's cause.

After her death, Lady Mary Wroth alluded to their troubles in Urania and satirised Hay as Sirelius.

[11] In 1614 she was returning from a masque at court late at night in a coach and a thief reached in and stole a valuable jewel which she was wearing on her forehead.

[15] The tomb of her aunt Dorothy Denny, wife of the crown auditor William Poovey or Purvey, at Wormley in Hertfordshire, commemorates an "Honour Denny" with a carved profile portrait of a young woman and a verse that mentions, 'Foreseeing Death, she sung a Swan-like song'.
