Sir John Egerton became President of Wales in 1634, at the age of 55. The inauguration
was held at his residence, Ludlow Castle in Shropshire. There John Milton's masque
Comus was performed, then for the first time, in his honor. Milton's work
was influenced by another masque, Tempe Restored by Aurelian Townsend, in which Alice Egerton,
John's daughter had performed in Feb 1632 at Whitehall Palace, London.
