Sir Richard Fanshawe went on a mission to Lisbon in January 1664, and returned to Madrid early in March following.

Previous to this circumstance, Lady Fanshawe intended to return to England to see her father, who was on the verge of the grave; but she then resolved to wait for Sir Richard's departure.
