uncil who should maintain her. She seems to have been wholly neglected by
her second husband.

Sir John Davis and his lady are buried in the church of St. Martin's in the
Fields, and the following are their epitaphs, from Strype's _Stow_, book
vi. p. 72.:

"D. O. M. S. Johannes Davys, Equestris ordinis quondam Attornati Regis
Generalis amplissima Provincia in regno Hib. functus. Inde in Patriam
revocatus inter Servientes Domini Regis ad Legem primum locum
sustinuit. Ob. 1626."

"Acc[=u]bat dignissimo marito incomparabilis Uxor, &c., 1652."

"_Note._--She was the Lady Eleanora, the only daughter of the Earl of
Castlehaven, Baron Audley."
