Museum is upon an oval piece of metal and is slightly chased.
Elizabeth was the second and favourite daughter of Cromwell.
She was a loyalist, and a member of the Church of England.
Her constitution was delicate, and after an illness of some
duration, aggravated, it is said, by the execution of her friend
Dr. Hewitt, she died at Hampton Court in her twenty-eighth
year, 6 Aug. 1658, and was buried in Westminster Abbey. For
medals of her husband see Nos. 22-23, pp. 396-397.

Lord Mount Edgecombe, Ar. Extremely rare.
Cast, with ring for suspension; from a model by Abraham
Simon, and said by Perry, who published it, to belong to Lord
Mount Edgecombe, although it appears to be no longer in the
possession of the family. Edward Montague, afterwards the
celebrated Earl of Sandwich, frequently distinguished himself
in high situations in the civil service of his country, and conducted
himself with great skill and courage in the command of
the navy during the period of the Commonwealth. He combined
with Monk and Lawson, and commanded the fleet which
brought over the King at the Restoration, for which service he
was rewarded with an Earldom, July, 1660, and the Order of
the Garter. He was blown up in his ship in the naval action
of Solebay with the Dutch, May, 1672. “ He was of high
birth, capable of any business, full of wisdom, a great commander
at sea and land, and also learned and eloquent, affable,
liberal, and magnificent.” (Bp. Parker, Hist, of His Own
Time, 1727, p. 151.)
