one o'clock
With bitter irony , liberty was granted to Bishop Ridley -- to hear mass in the Tower Chapel . Liberty to commit idolatry was not likely to be used by Nicholas Ridley . The French Protestants were driven out , except a few named by the Ambassador ; Cranmer , Latimer , Hooper , Coverdale , were cited before the Council ; and on the 28th of September , the Queen came to the Tower , in readiness for her coronation . At one o'clock on the 30th , the royal procession set forth , fitly preceded by a crowd of knights , doctors , bishops , and peers . After them rode the Council ; and then the new Knights of the Bath , to create whom it had been the custom , the day previous to the coronation . The seal and mace were carried next , between the Lord Chancellor -LRB- Bishop Gardiner -RRB- and the Lord Treasurer , William Paulet , Marquis of Winchester . The old Duke of Norfolk followed , with Lord Arundel on his right , and Lord Oxford on his left , bearing the swords of state .
