As Sir Francis Walsingham has been the brother-in-law of Edward Baynard, perhaps Edward prevailed upon Sir Francis Walsingham for Dorothy Loveden's release?] NOTE 2: When Dorothy was in Reading gaol, the two nuns imprisoned with her had been arrested in 1581 at the home of Dorothy's great nephew and his wife Francis and Jane Loveden of Lyford at the time St Edmund Campion SJ was also arrested in their home at Lyford.
