Quote from the Spanish Ambassador, 1536: "The Duke of Norfolk's daughter, my lady Beatrice, is of stout mind and great beauty. She can be found most often at the elbow of her father, who she holds in much filial respect. In face, she is the mirror of her father, but in temperament, she possesses the unfortunate qualities reminiscent of her cousin Boleyn, the great whore. She spends much time with that wretch her brother, the earl of Surrey, and his merry circle of cohorts, writing poetry and such like, something her father despises. I do not know what to make of her, in truth. She is simply an enigma. Who knows where she might go? Or how far she might fall?"
