Sir Henry Sidney

Alive and well and living in Virginia?

Despite rumours of his death in 1586, Sir Henry Sidney, Knight of the Garter, was seen alive and well and enjoying the Virginia Renaissance Faire earlier this year.

Also seen at the faire were Henry's son Philip and daughter Mary as well as many other Elizabethan characters.
