The Chronicle of Queen Jane and of Two Years of Queen Mary, and Especially of the Rebellion of Sir Thomas Wyat
p.5-6

The 12. of July word was brought to the Councell, being then at the Tower with the lady Jane, that the lady Mary was at Keninghall castle in Norfolk…whereupon by speedy councell it was there concluded, that the duke of Suffolk with certaine other noblemen, should goe towards the lady Mary, to fetch her up to London. This was first determined; but by night of the same day the said voyage of the duke of Suffolke was cleane dissolved by the speciall meanes of the lady Jane his daughter, who, taking the matter heavily, with weeping teares made request to the whole councell that her father might tarry at home in her company: whereupon the councell persuaded with the duke of Northumberland to take that voyage upon him…Then went the councell in to the lady Jane and told her of their conclusion, who humbly thanked the duke for reserving her father at home, and beseeched him to use his diligence, whereto he answered that hee would doe what in him lay.’
