Underhill was a gospeller. He was an MP for Tavistock in March 1553.[2][3][4][5]

Royal wedding at Winchester

It was said that Underhill was allowed to attend the wedding of Mary I of England and Philip of Spain in Winchester and serve at the feast at Wolvesey Castle, after Humphrey Radcliffe, Lieutenant of the Gentlemen Pensioners, spoke in his favour.[6] Underhill's presence at Winchester was questioned by the gentleman usher John Norris. Underhill wrote that Philip of Spain was not pleased to see that English aristocrats were better dancers.[7]
