Abstract
After 1593, Beale remained busy behind the scenes. He was too valuable to discard, for his archive, both literal and mental, was sought by Lord Burghley (William Cecil), Robert Cecil, Julius Caesar, and David Chytraeus, among others, on affairs domestic and foreign. He struggled, however, to retain the secretaryship of the Council of the North, which, like his other positions and sources of income, was sought by other, younger men with powerful patrons. With others, he took on more legal cases and continued to demonstrate his legal acumen and knowledge of historical context. By 1600, Beale had returned to royal favour enough to serve as one of Elizabeth’s negotiators for a peace with Spain. Beale travelled to Boulogne, having been promised by Queen Elizabeth that he and his family would be recompensed financially and secure for the future. The promise was never fulfilled, notwithstanding his and later his widow’s requests.
