Elizabeth I

She also visited Southampton with her full court on September 4 1591, leaving on September 7 for the Earl of Southampton’s home at Titchfield. On leaving the town she was petitioned by a group of French Huguenots who thanked her for having “enjoyed her protection in this town for more than twenty four years”.
