Queen Elizabeth’s Saddle on Which She Rode on Her State Visit to Bristol 1574 - An Emerald Green Saddle Cloth Quilted at the Seat, with Gold Lace and Fringe Decoration, Inscribed ‘Queen Elizabeth’s Saddle on Which She Rode on Her State Visit to Bristol 1574 - Afterwards Presented to an Ancestor of the Kington Family’ Mounted For Display, Framed and Glazed, 125cm x 125cm. Provenance: Miles Beresford Kington (13 May 1941 - 30 January 2008) Journalist, Musician and Broadcaster, thence by descent . Queen Elizabeth I visited Bristol in 1574 "Because great honour accrued from rare opportunities to entertain royalty, every effort was made to show the City at its best. During the visit "the mayor and all the council, riding upon good steeds, with footcloths, and pages by their sides” received Her Majesty within Lawford’s Gate, just outside the boundaries of the city”. "At the gate the mayor delivered his mace unto her Grace (thus relinquishing the sign of his authority as her lieutenant) and she delivered it unto him again,” reinforcing her authority over the city and his dependence upon her for favour. After an oration by John Popham, the Recorder, and the presentation of a gift of £100 in gold to her, the queen was escorted through the city in a procession in which "the mayor himself rode nigh before the Queene, betweene 2 serjeants at arms.” This procession, with each rider holding his proper place in relation to the queen and the others in the order of march, set the tone for the military displays that occupied the Queen’s time for the rest of her three-day stay. The Kington Saddle by Miles Kington. A Fax to his Wife. My dear Caroline. I sometimes worry that i may pass on to the other side before i have handed down to you the secret of the KINGTON SADDLE. Ridiculous, i know, as the doctor has said given resonable treatment and a vist to the pub every now and then, there’s no reason why i shouldn’t last another 40 years, but nevertheless i think perhaps the time has come to tell the dread secret of the KINGTON SADDLE. . But it’s just a silly old priceless family heirloom sitting in an old glass case, i hear you laugh. There’s nothing secret about it at all.......Ah, would that be so. But this KINGTON SADDLE has been handed down through eight or nine of, maybe seventeen generations of the Kington family, all of whom are now dead. Yes, every single previous owner of the KINGTON SADDLE is now in another place, and it’s not Saudi Arabia, i’m talking about. Why do you think they were all struck down before they reacched 100? Why do you think nobody ever gets the KINGTON SADDLE out and rides around on it on a horse? Why, above all, do you think nobody even wants to have it in their house, and everyone whispers furtively: "Let’s give it to cousin Laurence..... Let’s put it in a museum.....”?. I’ll tell you. It’s because of the curse of the KINGTON SADDLE. The curse which has scattered the family far afield, from Wrexham to London, from London to Bath, and from Bath to a crazy steam railway between Keighley and Haworth only five miles long, for God’s sake. As a child i remember getting a really nasty sore throat and my father leaning over my bed and saying, "The curse of the KINGTON SADDLE has got him, we must apply the only know antidote, mother, give me a corkscrew” - yes, at the age of ten my life was saved by red wine and i have never looked back since, but that is another story. . I am surprised you have never noticed that none of the Kingtons ever rides a horse. There ia a good reason for this. None of us can ever ride a horse because of the secret of the KINGTON SADDLE, and were any of us to mount a horse, it would mean instant death. For the horse. My grand-father, Major Kington, mounted a horse for the regimental race in 1907. It collapsed on the starting-line and my grand-mother lost a lot of money. My great-great-grandfather Colonel Kington took part in the charge of the Light Brigade, and had not gone 5 yards before his mount keeled over, dead, badly creasing his trousers. My great-great great. CONTINUED SOON. Published with the kind permission of Mrs Caroline Kington.View on dnfa.com
