Description
Slide 13 - There is a strange legend that all the oaks at Newburgh were to be decapitated or shorn of their spreading boughs by order of Thomas Cromwell, and that only by this sacrifice could Fauconberg gain his daughter's hand, but at present the mighty monarchs bear no mark of such ravage.
