 PREFATORY NOTE

Lady Eleanor Davies or Douglas (1590-1652) was among the most

notorious, most confident and most persistent of the prophets who
abounded in early seventeenth-century England. There was nothing
remarkable in a claim to have a warrant from God to foretell future
events — ‘all saints have in measure a spirit of prophecy’, said a
fifth monarchist (Mary Cary, The little horns doom and downfall
(London, 1651), p. 106, cited in K. Thomas, Religion and the decline of
magic (London, 1971), p. 137; see also chapter 5, ‘Prayer and pro¬
phecy’ passim). Nor was it rare to take upon oneself the mantle of a
specific biblical prophet. But it became a matter for comment when a
high-born lady turned to soothsaying.
Lady Eleanor was a daughter of George Touchet, Baron Audley and
Earl of Castlehaven. Her first husband was Sir John Davies (1569-
1626), Attorney-General of Ireland and philosophical poet, author of
Orchestra (1596) and Nosce teipsum (1598). Though Sir John was
moved to write in praise of marriage — ‘this cordial comfort of society’
— their relationship was not a happy one. After acquiring the gift of
prophecy by an anagram (‘Eleanor Audeley’ became ‘reveale O
Daniel’), Lady Eleanor foretold her husband’s death (‘John Davies’ =
‘Joves hand’) and promptly went into mourning. He soon died of
apoplexy, having just been promoted Lord Chief Justice for his amen¬
able attitude towards Charles I’s forced loans (1626). Her second
husband, the Scot Sir Archibald Douglas, was himself addicted to
signs and word-play — somehow he made ‘Douglas’ into ‘duo gladii’,
a two-edged sword. He also had an encounter with an angel. Angering
his wife by burning one of her prophetic writings, he suffered for it —
‘escaped not scot-free’ was her gleeful comment — and was suddenly
‘bereft of his sences’ (The Lady Eleanor her appeal (? London, 1626;
No. 25 in C. J. Hindle, ‘A bibliography of the printed pamphlets ... of
Lady Eleanor Douglas’, Edinburgh Bibliographical Transactions
1 (1935-8), 67-98).
The new Daniel’s earliest foretellings were verbal. In 1626 she
assigned sixteen years of happiness — ‘that was long enough’ — to
Henrietta Maria, bringing the Queen aptly to 1642. In 1628 when there
was a good deal of speculation about the prospects of the duke of
Buckingham — his portrait fell off the wall of High Commission —
Lady Eleanor said that ‘his time’ was not until August. John Felton
proved her right at Portsmouth on 23 August. At once she was famous.
Growing in confidence she predicted the birth of a strong boy-child to
the Queen, confirmed by the arrival in May 1630 of Charles, Prince of
Wales.
Family pride was one of Lady Eleanor’s consistent characteristics.
An anonymous correspondent in 1622 described her as ‘mad, ugly and
blinded with pride of birth’, vowed to ‘scratch a mince-pie out of her’
and wished, ‘the most horrible of curses, [her] to remain just what she
is’ (Calendar of State Papers Domestic, 1619-23, p. 400). The sensa¬
tional trial and execution for rape and sodomy of her brother Mervyn,
Earl of Castlehaven, made a great impact upon her. To the end of her
days she saw him as the spotless victim of conspiracy and in her
pamphlets, not least The restitution of prophecy (? London, 1651,
Hindle No. 47), pursued ‘the wicked woman’, his wife, and her per¬
jured witnesses. See also Woe to the house (? London, 1633; Hindle
No. 3) and The Word of God to the citie of London (? London, 1644;
Hindle No. 12). The Castlehaven case is discussed in detail by C.
Bingham in ‘Seventeenth-century attitudes toward deviant sex’,
Journal of Inter-disciplinary History I (1971), 447-472. From now on
the prophet grew in eccentricity and arrogance. In 1633 her cryptic
verses, apparently comparing Charles I to Balthazar and predicting a
violent end for him, combined with the publication of other ‘scan¬
dalous matter’ by way of anagrams, brought her into the Court of High
Commission, where she boldly argued with the prelates and council¬
lors. The Dean of Arches, who had been doodling, suddenly interrupted
her with an appropriate anagram : ‘Dame Eleanor Davies’ = ‘never so
mad a ladie’. Fined and imprisoned in the Gatehouse — it became
Daniel’s ‘lion’s den’ — she predicted condign punishment for her per¬
secutor, William Laud, unerringly identified as the Beast of Revela¬
tion. Her daughter, Lucy, Lady Hastings, the future Countess of
Huntingdon, secured her release. But she could not keep quiet. At
Lichfield, besides upsetting the canons’ low-born wives by usurping
their reserved cathedral pews, she profaned the high altar. Laud could
not have been more alarmed. She was put in Bedlam for a spell and
then into the Tower. Before she was set loose in 1640 she prophesied
that London would be burned to a cinder. Sure enough there were
some fires ‘which frighted some foolish people’. Her freedom coin¬
cided with the collapse of the Laudian censorship. In the 1640s and
early 1650s, in spite of the attempts of the various regimes to re¬
impose control on the press, she managed to bring out a stream of
pamphlets and broadsides, mostly written in the astonishing ‘stream-
of-consciousness’ style of which The restitution of prophecy is merely
an example. Civil war and its consequences provided ample oppor-
tunities for new predictions and rehearsals of the validity of old ones.
The British Library copy of one tract — I am the first (? London, 1645;
Hindle No. 13) —- bears a note by George Thomason : ‘Taken a
printing 17 Jan : 1644’, i.e., 1645. In 1646 she was arrested and flung
into a dungeon — ‘hells epitome’ — at the Compter, to lie among the
rats. The very heavens, it seems, roared and flashed all night in
sympathy. Like John Lilburne, Lady Eleanor was always ready to
dilate upon her sad circumstances. By 1648 her eye fell upon Oliver
Cromwell as a man with a mission. His initials, O.C., the sun and the
crescent moon, clinched that. In 1649 she was gloating over the fall of
Charles I, whom she blamed for her brother’s and her own misfor¬
tunes. Many year before, she recalled, she had forecast his execution
outside a banqueting chamber.
In 1650 Lady Eleanor had a remarkable encounter with another, not
so aristocratic but equally scribacious visionary, Gerrard Winstanley.
It seems that after the failure of the colony at St George’s Hill, he and
some of the Diggers were driven by poverty into humiliating wage-
labour on her Hertfordshire estate. Somewhat ‘near to herself’ — like
her father — Lady Eleanor was determined to get her money’s worth
and more out of the ‘poore brethren’ and argued with Winstanley
about what she owed them. Winstanley in a superb letter denounced
her as a false prophet:

You said in Preston Barne, you were the prophetesse Melchisedecke, which is a
high assumption Melchisedecke ys king of rightesness and prince of peace.
Now if you be that divine power soe called, Then I say what means the lowing of
the oxen and the bleating of the shep. .. Surely you have lost the Breeches, which
is indeed true Reason, the strength of A man. And you must ware the long coates
still, tell you know yourself’ (P. H. Hardacre, ‘Gerrard Winstanley in 1650’,
Huntingdon Library Quarterly XXII (1959), 345-9).

Unabashed she continued to prophesy and publish, still harping,

(e.g. in The restitution of prophecy) on the insults to her family,
mingling with them the evils of the times. Predicting 1656 for the
Second Flood (Restitution, p. 49), she escaped that danger by dying in
1652. Her long-suffering daughter had her buried next to her first
husband at St Martin’s in the Fields, erecting an elaborate epitaph
extolling their Christian virtues, including humility.
Later seventeenth-century editions of Sir Richard Baker’s A Chron¬
icle of the kings of England interrupt the history of the Commonwealth
to devote a whole column to her passing. The reader is asked ‘whether
a person so qualified or so addicted might not with most equity be
judged on this occasion to have been favoured with some beam of a
Divine knowledge of future things ... In the most flourishing conditions
of the Nation’ — the personal government of Charles I, 1629-40 —
‘she foretold its unparalleled Troubles’ (London, 1696 edn p. 617).
Copies of Lady Eleanor’s publications, some annotated in her own
hand, are held by the British Library — mostly in the Thomason
collection — the Public Record Office, Worcester College Library and
the Bodleian Library. The restitution of prophecy is Hindle No. 47. As
with almost all of her works — Strange and wonderful prophecies
(London, 1649; Hindle No. 35), the only one reprinted in modern
times, in 1871, 1873 and 1875, is a notable exception — there is no
printer’s name or place of publication. The text is extremely difficult
to elucidate. Biblical echoes abound, a few identified (e.g., from
Daniel, onpp. 27 and 28 and Revelation, pp. 31, 37). The tract refers,
often cryptically, to historical and personal events : e.g., the ‘five
years Fiery Bloody days’ of Mary I; the ‘unmatchable Reign’ of ‘her
Virgin Sister’ (pp. 6-7); Charles I’s marriage to Henrietta Maria (p. 5);
the execution of Strafford, ‘no shallow Brain-piece’ who ‘had his
quietus est, Easter Term (Anno 41). Sealed with no ordinary Arms,
the Ax’ (p. 25); the death of Lord Deputy Ireton (p. 26), and a great
deal about her brother (e.g., pp. 8-25). She sneers at Laud’s mean
parentage (p. 32) and identifies him with ‘the apprehended old
Serpent’ (p. 37). There is a reference to Cromwell putting on spec¬
tacles to read ‘a Book’ of hers ‘Entitled, Babylons Hand-writing,
bearing date Anno 1633’ (p. 27). This does not appear to have survived.
The subscription on p. 52, ‘Fleet’, suggests that she was once again in
prison. The Rota edition is reprinted with the permission of the
Curators from the Bodleian Library copy (Collation : 4° : [A]4, B-G4,
