Summary[edit]

Description

Stained glass window, circa 1550, showing arms of Parr quarterly of 10, circumscribed by the Garter, formerly in Cassiobury House, Hertfordshire, built in 1546 by the scholar and diplomat Sir Richard Morrison (c.1513-1556). These are the arms of w:William Parr, Marquess of Northampton (1513-1571), KG, as shown on his Garter stall plate, the only brother of Queen Catherine Parr (1512-1548), the sixth and final wife of King Henry VIII, whom he married in 1543. On 23 April 1543, he became a Knight of the Garter and on 23 December 1543, just after his sister had married the king, he was created Earl of Essex. In 1547 he was created Marquess of Northampton. The house was demolished in 1927, when many of the fittings were sold. This panel was given in 1952 to the Philadelphia Museum of Art by Mrs. Widener Dixon. See: corpusvitrearum.us [1]
