Sir John Oglander observed that he "never yet saw any fond husband make so much or so great dalliance over his beautiful spouse as I have seen King James over his favourites, especially the Duke of Buckingham" whom the King would, recalled Sir Edward Peyton, "tumble and kiss as a mistress."
Sir John Oglander mengamati bahwa dia "belum pernah melihat suami yang baik membuat begitu banyak kebencian terhadap pasangannya yang cantik karena saya telah melihat Raja James di atas favoritnya, terutama Adipati Buckingham" yang Raja akan, ingat Sir Edward Peyton, "jatuh cinta dan berciuman sebagai seorang simpanan."
