Royal wedding at Winchester

It was said that Underhill was allowed to attend the wedding of Mary I of England and Philip of Spain in Winchester and serve at the feast at Wolvesey Castle, after Humphrey Radcliffe, Lieutenant of the Gentlemen Pensioners, spoke in his favour.Stephen Hyde Cassan, The Lives of the Bishops of Winchester, vol. 1 (London, 1827), p. 505. Underhill's presence at Winchester was questioned by the gentleman usher John Norris. Underhill wrote that Philip of Spain was not pleased to see that English aristocrats were better dancers.John Gough Nichols, Narratives of the Reformation (London: Camden Society, 1859), pp. 169-171.
