• Notes

  Anna, the third daughter of Robert Bures and Joan, his wife, was a nunina convent at the time the storm of the Reformation burst over England.The name of this convent has not come down to us, but several oldpedigreesrefer to her as a "nun." William King, her future spouse, at this time wasamonk in the Abbey of Walden, Essex, which was suppressed in 1537. Somepedigrees refer to him as abbot of Walden, but a careful examination of the listofabbots of that famous monastery fails to show any of the name of King.Thecondition of the poor monks and nuns who were turned adrift by Henry VIII whenhe closed the religious houses has received scant attention. Of coursetheywere under vows of celibacy and it is difficult to understand how alegalmarriage could be contracted or who would solemnize it. The monks ofCharterhouse and of Sion were of sterner stuff and were true to their vows to theend.But union there was between these two, and the offspring was adaughterJudith, born in 1541, who became the wife of John Aylmer, Lord Bishop ofLondon. He died in 1594 and she in 1618.
