In his Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum, Bede described him as "a youth of most lovely age and beauty, and most earnestly desired by all his nation to be their king. He, with like devotion, quit his wife, lands, kindred and country, for Christ and for the Gospel, that he might receive an hundredfold in this life, and in the world to Come life everlasting. He also, when they came to the holy places at Rome, receiving the tonsure, and adopting a monastic life, attained the long wished-for sight of the blessed apostles in heaven." A charter related to land in Warwickshire (S64) is attributed to him, although in it he is described as King of Mercia rather than Essex.

And though the sky hung like a sable pall > Over the fair oasis, nestling calm > Beneath the trusted shelter of the hills, > And o'er the broad lake-outlet of the floods, > What cause had they to fear? 'Twas often thus, > And the long wished-for rains would bring forth joy > So reasoned they who, peaceful, viewed unmoved > Th' outpouring of that sullen ocean cloud, > When suddenly, they who had calmly felt > So safe one little span of time before, > Discovered in dismay the swollen floods > Meant danger—that the safety of their homes.

A cornerstone laid by Mrs Chamberlain during her husband's South African tour Chamberlain and the British government had long wished for the federation of South Africa under the British crown, but it appeared that the growing wealth of the Transvaal would ensure that any future union of Southern African states would be as a Boer dominated republic outside the British Empire. Chamberlain sought British domination of the Transvaal and Orange Free State by endorsing the civil rights of the disenfranchised Uitlanders. Britain also exerted steady military pressure. In April 1897, Chamberlain asked the Cabinet to increase the British garrison in South Africa by three to four thousand men – consequently, the quantity of British forces in the area grew during the next two years.

On 31 January 1767, she was married by proxy to Louis Alexandre de Bourbon-Penthièvre, Prince of Lamballe, grandson of Louis XIV's legitimised son, Louis Alexandre de Bourbon, comte de Toulouse, and the only surviving son of Louis de Bourbon-Toulouse, Duke of Penthièvre. The marriage was arranged after it had been suggested by Louis XV as a suitable match, both the bride and the groom being members of a royal sideline, and it was accepted by her family because the King of Sardinia had long wished for an alliance between the House of Savoy and the Royal House of France: in the following years, further marriage alliances between France and Savoy would follow. The wedding by proxy, followed by a bedding ceremony and a banquet, was held at the Savoyard royal court in Turin and attended by the King of Sardinia and his court. On 24 January, the bride crossed the bridge of Beauvoisin between Savoy and France, where she left her Italian entourage and was welcomed by her new French retinue, who escorted her to her groom and father-in-law at the Chateau de Nangis.
