Letter from Thomas Fitzgerald, 10th Earl of Kildare

Thomas Fitzgerald, the 10th Earl of Kildare, was also known as "Silken Thomas". He attempted to seize Dublin Castle in 1534. He was unsuccessful and retreated to his stronghold in Kildare where he was later captured. He was imprisoned in the Tower of London and was later hanged, drawn and quartered. He wrote this letter to one of his followers towards the end of 1536. He describes conditions in the Tower and the poor state he finds himself in.
