Whyte noted that on 27 February 1598 "Mrs Radcliffe" wore a white satin gown, all embroidered, richly cut on good cloth of silver, which cost £180.
[7] In August 1599 Whyte heard that Margaret Ratcliffe had stayed in her chamber for four days after Frances Howard, Countess of Kildare had been unkind to her.
[8] Margaret Radcliffe died on 10 November 1599 at the house of Mr Kirkham in Richmond, after refusing to eat.
[9] Rowland Whyte wrote that now Ratcliffe was dead, Lady Kildare hoped that Lord Cobham would proceed to marry her.
[10] According to Philip Gawdy, a Norfolk lawyer with court connections, she had "gone about to starve herself and by the two days together had received no sustenance".
