    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Lord Roche writes a letter to Walsingham expressing his complaints against Spenser, which include accusations that Spenser had made corrupt bargains to obtain Kilcolman and had threatened Lord Roche’s tenants. Lord Roche felt he had been cheated out of gaining Kilcolman estate and hoped his complaints would reward him an investigation against Spenser and ultimately acquisition of Kilcolman. Spenser and some of his neighbors wrote a bill of complaints against Lord Roche on the same day, claiming that Lord Roche had harbored a traitor, spoke ill of the English government, and aided the Spanish, among other things. Spenser never lost Kilcolman, however. (Judson 134-35; Burlinson and Zurcher, 233)]]></dcterms:description>
