(1) That evening she was married with great ceremony to the King of England, a man she had never met and of whose language she was entirely ignorant. She wore a dress of silver tissue and a stomacher covering the whole centre part of her bodice, set with a number of very large diamonds, worth quite extravagant sums according to the Duchess of Northumberland.
