This year on 13 November Sir Thomas Wriothesley, secretary to the king, came to Hampton Court to the queen, and called all the ladies and gentlewomen and her servants into the great chamber, and there openly before them declared certain offenses she had committed in misusing her body with certain persons before the king's time, because of which he there discharged all her household; and the morning after she was taken to Sion, with my Lady Bainton and two other gentlewomen and certain of her servants to wait on her there until the king's further pleasure. And various people were taken to the Tower of London, such as my Lady Rochford, Master Culpepper, one of the king's privy chamber, and others.
On 1 December Thomas Culpepper, one of the gentlemen of the king's privy
chamber, and Francis Dorand, gentleman, were arraigned at the Guildhall
in London, for high treason against the king's majesty, in misdemeanor
with the queen, as appeared by their indictment which they confessed to,
and they were sentenced to be drawn, hanged, and quartered, the lord mayor
sitting there as chief, the lord chancellor on his right hand, and the
duke of Norfolk on his left hand, the duke of Suffolk, the lord privy seal,
the earls of Sussex, of Hertford, and various others of the king's council
sitting with all the judges also in commission that day. And on 10
December the said Culpepper and Dorand were drawn from the Tower of London
to Tyburn, and there Culpepper, after exhorting the people to pray for
him, stood on the ground by the gallows, knelt down and had his head struck
off; and then Dorand was hanged, dismembered, disemboweled, beheaded and
quartered. Culpepper's body was buried at St Sepulchre's church near
Newgate, and their heads were set on London Bridge.
