Notes:

History of the noble house.... p562 When the sisters were clothed they wore silk dresses of a costly silk which was only made at Lyons by special order. They were afterwards made into vestments, chasuble, dalmatics, cope & Benediction scarf, & & so they must have had long trains. These vestments were in constant use till about 20 years ago... a large many-coloured flower pattern mixed with gold thread on a white ground.
