In late August of 1579 the Earl of Oxford arrived at a tennis court while Sidney was playing.  The Earl pulled rank, and ordered Sidney from the court.  Among those in attendance were French marriage commissioners, there to promote a marriage between Queen Elizabeth I and the Duke of Anjou and Alençon, Hercule François de France, a marriage that did not happen.
