Robert Beale letters, 1569-1597, bulk 1576-1587.

Beale-Walsingham Papers. Official correspondence of the Kingdom of England and Wales in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, found among the personal papers of Robert Beale (1541-1601), scholar, civil servant, and diplomat. The letters are either by him or to him and only a few copies have been found in the English records meaning these are valuable original historical sources, almost entirely unpublished. They deal with the earliest years of the Dutch Republic and the important part played by England in the Dutch revolt. Called "Beale-Walsingham papers" because many of them were originally addressed to Sir Francis Walsingham (1530-1590), Beale's brother-in-law, and Elizabeth's Secretary of State. Four letters are addressed to Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester (1532?-1588) who commanded English troops sent to assist the Dutch in 1585 and 1586. Five letters by Thomas Wilkes (1545?-1589) are found in summary in the Great Britain Public Record Office's Calendar of State Papers.
