Sussex, Washington.- Marriage of Mary and Philip I of Spain.- Indenture, grant by George Flusher of Washington to his sister Amis Flusher "all that house & land called Taylers", manuscript in Tudor English, in Chancery hand, on vellum, 16 lines, indented at head, red wax seal, folds, slightly creased and yellowed, 195 x 410mm., 26th January 1555.
⁂ A legal document that provides a window into the legal niceties that occurred in consequence of the marriage of Mary and Philip I of Spain under whose legal authority this grant is issued. The royal couple are listed as Philip & Mary (the 1554 Act for the Marriage of Queen Mary to Philip of Spain having specified that his name should precede hers as deemed proper for husband and wife), but Philip is not given the title of King of Spain, meaning this document must have been produced during the 18-month window following their marriage prior to Philip's accession as King of Spain.
