And in the examination of John Somerville,[74] Edward Arden's son-in-law (also of high descent), he stated "that he had received no visitors of late, but certain 'husbandmen,' near neighbours." The Arden "husbandman" of Wilmecote in 1523 and 1546[75] paid the same amount to the subsidy as the Arden Esquire of Yoxall[76] in 1590, when money was of less value. Mr. Nichols' third assertion, that the heralds scratched out the arms of the Ardens of Park Hall, because they _dared_ not quarter them with those of the Shakespeares, shows that he omitted certain considerations. That family was under attainder then.
