Notes for Sir Henry Sydney KG
Garter book: "[Father of Sir Philip Sydney, Fought at battle of Flodden. Present at Field of the Cloth of Gold.]"

CP relates how Henry S. got an elaborate but false genealogy concocted by Roibt Cooke, "the rascally [Clarenceux, 1567-93]king of arms". See Misc. Gen. et Her., 1st series, Vol II, p.160 seq.
