 According to the Duchess, the Duke had ridden all night, and arriving home in a furious temper had locked her in a chamber and taken away all her jewels and apparel.She was sent to a house in Redbourn, Hertfordshire, from which she wrote a number of letters to Cromwell complaining that was kept in a state of virtual imprisonment with a meagre annual allowance of only £200.At first the Duchess attempted to reconcile with her husband, but when she received no reply to her 'kind letters' to the Duke, she declared to Cromwell in a letter dated 30 December 1536 that 'from this day forward I will never sue to the King, nor to none other, to desire my lord my husband to take me again'.
