King Henry VIII visited him three times at the Vyne , once with his queen , Anne Boleyn , whom Sandys was later to escort to her imprisonment in the Tower . Although his sister Edith had married , secondly , Thomas Darcy , 1st Baron Darcy of Darcy , one of the leaders of the Pilgrimage of Grace ( 1536 ) , Sandys certainly played no part in the uprising . Indeed , in October 1536 he was summoned to " '' attend upon the King 's own person '' " with 400 men , and , on 10 October , was ordered to muster at Ampthill , Bedfordshire , and to " '' prepare victuals and lodging for the King and his train '' " , a task for which he would have been well qualified as Henry 's Lord Chamberlain . Later he accompanied the Duke of Norfolk as far as Cambridge but took no further action in the suppression of the rebellion
