Excerpt from The Countess Lucy: Singular or Plural? That these registers are worthy of the utmost credit will be proved by reference to royal charters, and has indeed been admitted by the emendators, who frequently refer to them, and have taken the trouble twice to print from one of them a charter which is apparently of much less importance than those I have alluded to. The Monasticon also makes quotations from the Chronicle of Peterborough, which supports Ingulph and the Genealogy both as to the parentage and as to the unity of Lucy. It is impossible, therefore, to reject off-hand any portion of the history or tradition in question. The only course we can take is to endeavour to distinguish the true from the false, by applying the test of a comparison of the authorities above mentioned with the authentic records of the realm. Dugdale's version. The old story is briefly as follows. Lucy was the grand-daughter of Leofric, Earl of Mercia, and of the famous Countess Godiva, the former of whom died in 1057, "in a good old age," while the latter survived the Conquest. Algar, or AElfgar, Lucy's father, was created Earl of the East Saxons, and on Leofric's death became Earl of Mercia. He twice rebelled against Edward the Confessor, and was twice banished or outlawed, but each time restored to favour, on the second occasion with the gentle aid of an invasion by his son-in-law Griffith, King of North Wales, and by "the Norway fleet." He died soon after, in 1059, probably of no great age, as he survived his father only a few years. Lucy's two brothers were Edwin, Earl of Mercia, and Morcar, or Morkere, Earl of Northumbria. Her sister Algitha or Edgiva, was married firstly to Griffith, above named, and secondly to King Harold. Earls Edwin and Morcar were almost the only English nobles who were permitted by the Conqueror to retain their dignities and possessions, but these were subsequently forfeited by their rebellion; Edwin in the result being killed, and Morcar imprisoned. Yet as Dugdale in several places refers to Lucy's inheritance, we are left to infer that she Avas allowed to succeed to the possessions of her brothers, as their sister and heiress, or, ignoring her brothers, to the possessions of her father as his daughter and heir. Earl Leofric's Genealogy positively states that she "obtained the paternal lands." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In Coberley Hall, there lives a secret.That secret is ready to claim its next victim. DI Colin Walker inherits the Jacobean manor house from his wife Lizzie, in whose death he has played a part. Wracked with guilt, but equally determined to forget, he takes up his inheritance only to discover a 17th century chest in the cellars. Inside it are Countess Lucy's clothes and possessions from the time of the English Civil War. A cryptic note next to her name in the village burial records leads him to question how she, once the house's chatelaine, died. His wife's death was the same? As far as Colin is concerned all love ended with Lizzie, but he has reckoned without the countess's 'dead heart's desire'. But can he trust what he sees and feels? And what of the promise he made Lizzie on her deathbed? Excerpt:'Do you believe in good and evil, Mr Walker? Do you believe that one or the other can stalk a family in response to a great sorrow? Excerpt:'Nevertheless, I am disappointed,' I told myself...'I cannot understand why it should be so incumbent on me to feel my wife is still alive when she is not.' ...Since coming to Coberley Hall I had begun to feel sick to my stomach with excitement. Was I then literally incapable of digesting that I had watched her breathe her last? Excerpt:But for the candle's wretched little flame I would have been sightless... Such a priest-hole had probably been built into the oldest part of the Hall in the 1580's. Excerpt:I felt compelled to brave the claustrophobic darkness whose cobwebs sizzled and shrivelled at the touch of my candle. Scared myself, I tried not to scare. Soon I was gasping for breath in a narrow space streaked with drops of blood which lined the secret walls in painted, perpendicular columns. Here, at its core, the house bled from its internal haemorrhage, it was forever dying from its bleeding heart. The life-blood oozed from its walls in large red and white teardrops for the blood and water of the Passion. Author's note:The real Lady Lucy lived from 1624-1656. Aged 14, she was married by her father, John Dutton of Sherborne, to the 2nd Earl of Downe on November 26, 1638. It was said at the time to have been a match with 'no likinge in it'. Caught up in the English Civil War, she and her husband were staunch royalists and suffered fines and confiscations. Her burial note, detailing the strange circumstances of her death can still be seen in Coberly Parish records.
