This volume abounds in curious particulars, illustrative not only of the Manners, Customs, and Expenses of the time, but, to some extent, of the personal character of Henry the Eighth. From it may be traced where the King was on each day during the above period, his occupations, and amusements, together with the names of the persons composing his household, their wages, and the cost of their dresses, &c.

Among other items are the sums paid for jewels, books, furniture, clothes, &c.; the charges of the King's Fools and Jester; and the expenses attendant on his Majesty's interview with Francis I at Calais, in October, 1532. Each month's account is examined and signed by the King. The following persons are particularly mentioned: Cardinal Wolsey; Cromwell, Earl of Essex; the Marquess of Exeter; the Princess, afterwards Queen Mary; Thomas Boleyn, Earl of Wiltshire; his son, Lord Rochford; the first Earl and Countess of Bedford; the Earl of Derby; the Protector Somerset; Bishop Latimer; the Duke of Norfolk; Sir Richard Gresham; Sir Anthony Browne; Sir Francis Bryan; Sir Francis Weston; Sir Henry Norris; Brereton; and the notorious Mark Smeton; Domingo; Sexton, the Fool, &c. &c.

PREFACE.

The following pages present an account of the sums paid out of the Privy Purse of King Henry VIII. from the 17th of November, 1529, to the end of December, 1532; and as every payment, whether for the daily expenses of the Royal establishments, or for the gratification of His Majesty's wishes, is minutely noticed, it must be evident that they afford interesting information, not merely on the general customs and manners of the times, but on the personal character of that monarch, his occupations, amusements, and places of residence.

Among the materials for History, private Letters have, long since, been deemed of the utmost value; but the curious facts contained in records like those now introduced to the notice of the public, have not obtained the attention which they deserve: hence it will not perhaps be irrelevant to give a brief account of the few works of this nature which have been printed, as well as of some which still remain in Manuscript.

The first in point of time, is the "Liber Quotidianus Contrarotulatoris Garderobae, Anno Regni Regis Edwardi Primi Vicesimo Octavo: A. D. 1299 and 1300," printed in 1787 by the Society of Antiquaries, from a MS. in their library. This volume[Pg ii] which is but partially known, abounds in highly interesting information, illustrative of the History, Manners, Expences, Army, Navy, Provisions, Costume, &c. of the thirteenth century; and as an adjunct to Historical and Antiquarian inquiries, it cannot be too highly estimated. Few MSS. have been so well edited; but amidst much ground for praise, it is to be regretted that it does not contain an Index, an omission which considerably lessens its utility. Another MS. of the same kind, of the 31st and 32nd years of Edward the First, is also extant,[1] but it has never been printed. In 1790 the Society of Antiquaries published "A Collection of Ordinances and Regulations for the Government of the Royal Household, made in divers reigns, from King Edward III. to King William and Queen Mary," and which is copiously cited in the Notes to this work. Only one more publication of the sort remains to be noticed, the Household Book of Henry Algernon Percy, Fifth Earl of Northumberland, which appeared privately in 1770, edited by Bishop Percy, and which has been recently reprinted by the Publisher of this volume.

Independently, however, of Household expences which occur in separate volumes, many have been printed in other works. Of these it will be sufficient to refer to the few which are to be found in the "Archæologia," in County Histories, and more particularly, the Household payments of the family of Kytson in Mr. Gage's admirable "History and Antiquities [Pg iii]of Hengrave." Although not more than four accounts of the expenditure of sovereigns or individuals have been published, those which are known to exist in MS. are both numerous and valuable. Besides those of the 31st and 32nd of Edward I. which have just been mentioned, four large volumes of the kind are preserved in the Chapter House: one containing the Royal disbursements from the 1st of October, 21st Henry VII. 1505, to the 20th November, 1st Henry VIII. 1509; another, from the 1st of May, 1st Henry VIII. 1510, to February in the 9th Henry VIII. 1518; the third, entitled "The King's Books of Payments beginning 1st April, 9th Henry VIII. 1518, to December in the 12th Henry VIII." 1520; and the fourth is called "A Book of Arrears of the 14th Henry VIII." 1522-3.

The expences noticed in the following sheets extend from the 17th November 21st Henry VIII. 1529, to the end of December 24th Henry VIII. 1532; and in the library of the Royal Society is the book of Quarterly Payments from February in the 29th Henry VIII. 1538, to Midsummer, 33rd Henry VIII. 1541. In the library of the British Museum is the Household Book of a Citizen, or perhaps Clergyman, of London, from March 1594 to March 1595.[2] Lord Bagot possesses an interesting MS. of the Household expences of Edward Stafford, Duke of Buckingham, which his Lordship some time since offered to allow the Society of Antiquaries to print, but, extraordinary as [Pg iv]it may appear, the proposition was not accepted: and doubtlessly many other documents of the same kind are extant.

Of the MSS. which have been cited, only those in the Chapter House and the one in the library of the Royal Society resemble that printed in this volume; but neither of them is precisely like it, in its objects or contents. The one in the library of the Royal Society consists principally of quarterly payments of wages to servants and retainers, and of sums paid pursuant to the warrant of the Lord Privy Seal: they present the charges of Ambassadors, of other public officers, and of posts and couriers, as well as those of various articles purchased or prepared by the king's commands, a few extracts from which, of general interest, will be found in a subsequent page; these afford, however, but a very imperfect idea of the value of that MS. in illustration of the history and manners of the time, though it does not appear to have been once noticed from the year 1762, when it was referred to by Walpole, to the present time! The MS. now printed, contains, on the contrary, what may be termed Henry's personal expences, whether arising from his purchases; from his "rewards" to those who brought him presents; from his losses at dice, cards, bowls, and other games; from his attachment to Anne Boleyn, or his favourite courtiers; or from the wages and liveries of his servants, fools, jesters, and other minions. The accounts in the other MSS. were paid quarterly, and rested on the responsibility of the persons entrusted[Pg v] to keep them; these were daily, and are attested at the end of each month by the signature of the King himself. Notwithstanding that they differ in character, they mutually confirm and illustrate each other; and if a judicious compilation were made from the whole series which has been mentioned, and which could be comprised in one, or at the most, two quarto volumes, invaluable information would be given to the world on the most interesting period of English History—the period marked by the revival of all which benefits and adorns society, Science, Literature, and the Fine Arts. The Accounts of the Citizen of London are remarkable for the minuteness with which the expence of every article of food, from a farthing's worth of fruit to several pounds' worth of meat, is stated; and as evidence of the price of provisions and other articles, wine, servants' wages, &c. at the time, it is extremely useful. In the margin the names of the guests at dinner and supper on each day are recorded, and it altogether exhibits a curious picture of the manners of the Elizabethan age.

It must be at once obvious, that Manuscripts which throw light upon British History, but which are not sufficiently popular to enable a bookseller to print them, ought to be published by the Society incorporated for the sole purpose of advancing "the study of Antiquity, and the history of former times," and to which we are indebted for two of the volumes which have been alluded to; but the zeal which caused them to be edited has unfortunately long since evaporated. If it be thought impossible for[Pg vi] the Society of Antiquaries to publish all the MSS. which have been enumerated, the most striking entries, and a summary of the expences of different departments might, at least, be extracted from them. The objection that few of its Fellows would undertake the trouble of editing such works without some pecuniary advantage, may be met by the remark, that it possesses two paid Secretaries, who are alike distinguished for their literary productions; or, if the duties of these officers be too severe to admit of their doing so, by asking whether it would not be a far more legitimate application of its funds to appoint persons to prepare such MSS. for the press, and to remunerate them for their labours, than to waste the Society's resources, by publishing useless articles, because they are gratuitous contributions; and still more, by inquiring whether the cost of producing such compilations, with illustrative notes, would not confer infinitely more honor upon that body, and tend in a greater degree to advance the objects for which it exists, than a heavy expenditure on useless engravings?

The Manuscript of these sheets is imperfect both at the commencement and end; in one or two places part of a leaf has been torn off, and in another a folio has been abstracted, whilst the first page is in many places illegible. Its contents and orthography are printed literally, and the imperfections in the copy pointed out by stars: the few blanks which will be found, also occur in the MS. The earliest notice of it which has been discovered is in the Lans[Pg vii]down MS. 737, which contains numerous extracts made from it by Peter le Neve, Norroy King of Arms, from 1704 to 1729, who says he bought the original "of —— Wynde, Esq. and sold it for the same price to the Right Honorable Lord Harley, son and heir of the Earl of Oxford —— 1723;" and adds in the margin, "It was the book of Sir Orlando Bridgeman, Knight, Lord Keeper, and in the beginning is his hand-writing." The words printed in italics have been almost obliterated, perhaps in consequence of Le Neve's having afterwards retained the volume instead of selling it; but perhaps because it was surreptitiously taken from Lord Oxford's collection. The next notice which occurs of it, is in Walpole's "Anecdotes of Painting," from which it appears that in 1762 it was in the possession of Mrs. Bridgeman, of Hanover Square. The name might suggest the idea that her husband was a descendant of Sir Orlando Bridgeman, who purchased it in 1634, and hence that the book was in her possession in consequence of that relationship; but this is contradicted by the fact of its having passed from Sir Orlando's family to Mr. Wynde and from him to Le Neve sometime after 1704, who in 1723 sold it to the Earl of Oxford, though in 1762 we find it belonged to a Mrs. Bridgeman. After that year nothing more is known of it, than that it was purchased about a twelvemonth since at the sale of an Undertaker and Broker, of the name of Gomme. In the fly leaf at the beginning is the following memorandum, which Le Neve says was written[Pg viii] by Sir Orlando Bridgeman:—"Accounts of H. Eight, and signed with his own hande, I gott it by Chance this yeere, 1634." With the exceptions just noticed, the MS. is in fine preservation. From Le Neve's extracts the contents of the folio which is now wanting, have been recovered, though not in the original words, and will be found at the end of this volume; but all the other imperfections seem to have existed when in his possession, for he takes no notice of the first folio; he expressly says of pages 131, 132, 133, that the leaf was then torn; and the last folio of the MS. was the same as at present.

Walpole conjectures that they were the accounts kept by "Sir Bryan Tuke, the Treasurer of the Chambers," but it is much more likely that they were those of Sir William Fitz-William, afterwards Earl of Southampton, Treasurer of the Household: nothing positive, however, can be said on the subject.

Such notes as are requisite to explain the items, or to describe the individuals mentioned, are introduced into the Index, which contains references to every person, place, and thing, recorded. The Editor is sensible that many of his observations are imperfect, and not a few, perhaps, erroneous: in one or two instances he has been obliged to confess his inability to throw any light upon the subject, and he will be much gratified if his readers do not consider that there is still greater cause for a similar confession. Simple as many of the Notes appear, the labour and research with which they[Pg ix] have been attended, were considerable; and to have partially failed when complete success was almost impossible, would not, he trusts, be discreditable to a far abler Antiquary. His friend Dr. Meyrick, for whose assistance in his literary pursuits the Editor has frequently had cause to express his gratitude, and James Heywood Markland, Esq. Director of the Society of Antiquaries, have most kindly and liberally afforded him their aid; and the information which these gentlemen have respectively contributed is equal in interest and importance to what might be expected from their reputation.

INTRODUCTORY REMARKS.

On the 23rd of October, 1529, Henry the Eighth came to his manor of Greenwich;[3] in the November following he went on board the Treasurer's ship;[4] and about the 20th of the same month arrived at York Place,[5] now called Whitehall, where he spent his Christmas.

Anno. 1530.—Early in February, 1530, his Majesty was at Hampton Court,[6] and on the 16th at Battersea, but returned the same day to York Place.[7] On the 21st he was again at Hampton Court,[8] and on the 13th of March, the celebrated Hugh Latimer, afterwards Bishop of Worcester, preached before him and was rewarded with a gratuity of five pounds, from which time he cannot be traced by these Accounts, until the 5th of April, when he was at More Park, in Hertfordshire;[9] and towards the end of that month he was at Windsor.[10] Between April and July, Henry seems to have resided either at York Place or Hampton Court: about the middle of July he was evidently at Oking,[11] or Ockham Park, in Surrey; on the 23rd at Guilford;[12] on the 29th at Windsor;[13] and returned to Hampton Court between the 10th and 13th of August,[14] where he remained until the 16th, on [Pg xii] which day he went to Easthampstead,[15] and on the 17th was at Asheridge, in Buckinghamshire.[16] On the 21st he was at Ampthill,[17] where he appears to have remained until about the 4th of September; on the 5th of that month he was at Hertford,[18] having in passing through Hitchin on the preceding day, given forty shillings to the Friars of that place.[19] His Majesty did not quit Hertford Park until the 8th or 9th, when he proceeded to Waltham, at which place we find him on the 12th.[20] He seems to have been again at More Park on the 21st,[21] soon after which he returned to Hampton Court, where, it is particularly stated, he was on the 14th of October.[22] He resided chiefly at that palace, occasionally, however, going to York Place,[23] and perhaps to Greenwich, until the death of Cardinal Wolsey, on the 29th November, in that year; when, Hall says "he removed from Hampton Court to Greenwich, where he with Queen Katherine kept a solempne Christmas; and on the twelfe night he satte in the halle in his estate, where as were divers enterludes, riche maskes and disportes, and after that a great banket."[24] "Certain it is, however, that Henry did not leave Hampton Court until the 8th of December,[25] and it is most probable that he did not go to Greenwich until about the 14th of that month,[26] though it is unquestionable that he was there on the 19th."[27] The only evidence of the festivities[28] mentioned
[Pg xiii]by Hall, are entries of money delivered to the Princess Mary and
Lady Margaret Douglas, the King's niece,[29] "to disport with all this Christmas;"[30] the large sum of 2615l. 9s.d. paid for plate, and jewellery, chiefly for the latter, between the 21st of December, 1530, and the 6th of January, 1531; new year's gifts; and money lost at play.

Ao. 1531.—After Christmas, according to Hall "The King came to his Manor of Westminster which before was called Yorke Place;"[31] and we find that on the 17th January, 1531, he is said to have been there,[32] and where it seems he was on the 28th of that month;[33] on the 7th and 27th of February;[34] and on the 9th of March.[35] On the 20th, he appears to have amused himself with shooting at Tothill,[36] near Bridewell; and on the 23rd he was clearly at his palace of Bridewell.[37] The divorce then almost wholly occupied his Majesty's mind, though the only entries which in any way refer to it, are of books sent to him from different abbots and priors, and the removal of boat loads of books from one palace to another.[38] Hall takes no further notice of the king's residence until Whitsuntide, namely, the 28th of May, after which, he informs us, "The Kyng and the Queene removed [apparently from Greenwich] to Windsor, and there continued tyll the xiiij daye of Julye, on which daye the Kyng removed to Woodstocke, and left hire at Wyndsore, where she laye a whyle, and after [Pg xiv] removed to the More, and afterwarde to Esthamstede: and after this, day, the Kyng and she never saw together."[39] It is evident from these Accounts that Henry again amused himself with shooting at Tothill, about the 29th March;[40] that he was at Greenwich on the 13th of April;[41] that he went from it by water on the same day to York Place;[42] but he returned soon afterwards,[43] and was there on the 28th of May,[44] whilst Hall's statement that he then proceeded to Hampton Court is proved by several entries on the 10th, 11th, and 12th of June; especially by a payment of 14s. 8d. "to the watermen for carying of the King's stuffe from Greenwich to Hampton Court, eleven men for two days:"[45] on the 15th he is expressly said to have been there,[46] and again on the 18th, 22nd, and 24th, when watermen were paid for waiting "the day the King came from Westminster to Putney,"[47] an entry which probably referred to their attendance a short time before. On the 3rd of July, "Henry was at York Place,"[48] and on the 9th at Windsor;[49] but so far from there being any corroboration of Hall's assertion, that on the 14th of July, "the King removed to Woodstock," it may be inferred that he was either at Windsor or Hampton Court until the 28th,[50] with the exception of the 22nd, when he was at Chertseye.[51] It is however unquestionable that he commenced his progress towards the end of July; and the following seems to [Pg xv] have been the itinerary of his journey. At Guilford on the 29th of July,[52] at, or near, Farnham, in Surrey, on the 2nd of August;[53] at Odiham on the 4th;[54] at the Vyne in Hampshire, the seat of Lord Sandys, from the 4th to the 5th,[55] during which time he hunted in Wolmer forest;[56] on the 8th he was at Easthampstead,[57] whence he proceeded to Woodstock, where we find him on the 22nd,[58] and probably also on the 13th.[59] His Majesty remained there until the 2nd or 3rd of September,[60] and evidently enjoyed every diversion which the country afforded him, namely, hunting, shooting, hawking, fishing, &c. From Woodstock he went to Grafton in Northamptonshire, where he arrived on the 5th,[61] when the Mayor of Northampton sent him a present of pears,[62] and where it appears he gave an audience to the Hungarian Ambassadors, for whom a house was hired at Stony Stratford.[63] Henry continued at Grafton until about the 10th, when he went to Ampthill,[64] in Bedfordshire, and purchased some silks and jewellery on the 15th;[65] and on the 20th we find him at Waltham Abbey,[66] where he was also on the 9th of October.[67] Hall informs us that about this time the King caused a solemn obsequy to be kept at that place for the Duchess of Angouleme, mother of the King of France, who died on the 22nd of September, at which ceremony he assisted, attended by many of [Pg xvi]his nobles.[68] On the 23rd of that Month he healed a poor woman at Havering Bower,[69] though he returned to Waltham before the 25th,[70] and on or before the 31st he arrived at his palace of Greenwich,[71] having previously fished at Hunsdon.[72]

It is uncertain how long Henry continued at Greenwich, but perhaps a few weeks only; for we find the road near Peckham mended, in expectation of his passing it, on the 23rd of November, on which day the watermen were likewise paid for removing his "stuff" to Hampton Court;[73] and on the 4th of December we positively learn that he was at that place.[74] Hall says "the King kepte his Christemas at Greenwyche with great solempnite, but all men sayde that there was no myrthe in that Christemas because the Queene and the ladies were absent;"[75] there is only one entry, namely of the sum of 56l. 13s. 4d. given to the Earl of Angus, on the 15th of December,[76] which tends to shew where Henry was at that time, and which agrees with the Chronicler's statement.

Anno. 1532.—On the 16th of January, 1532, it seems his Majesty was at York Place, and on the 18th, books were sent there to him from the bookbinder;[77] and we find that plate and furniture were conveyed there about the same time from Greenwich[78] He was still at Westminster on the 5th[79] and 22nd of February,[80] and 8th of March;[81] on the [Pg xvii] 18th of which month, according to Hall, he gave an audience to the Speaker and Members of the House of Commons.[82] No account of Henry's residence occurs after that date until the 8th of April, when Lady Sydney sent him a present of orange pies at Greenwich,[83] and where he continued until the 16th. Early in April "sodeynly began a pestylence in Westmynster,"[84] and the disease evidently extended to Greenwich, for on the 11th of that month several persons were sent out of that town "by reason of the plage."[85] On the 16th of April his Majesty went to Westminster,[86] but returned again to Greenwich before the 26th, upon which day a hawk was brought to him at that palace.[87] He was, however, at Westminster on the 8th of May,[88] though it may be inferred that he was at Greenwich on the 15th.[89] There can be little doubt that from the 8th of April to the end of May he divided his time between those palaces, for as the parliament was then sitting at Westminster, his presence was occasionally indispensable; and we learn from Hall, that on the 16th of May, Sir Thomas More delivered the great seal to the King at that place. On the 1st of June Henry was at Eltham,[90] where he resided until the 3rd of July,[91] the entries during which period are excessively curious, as indicative of the manner in which he passed his time.[92] He arrived at Waltham on or before the 4th of July,[93] and continued there, or at [Pg xviii] Hunsdon until about the 21st, when he commenced his summer progress into Berkshire, Bedfordshire, Bucks, and Oxfordshire. On the 23rd of July he was at Ampthill,[94] at which place he continued until the 28th or 29th,[95] when he proceeded to Grafton; where, on the 31st, a monk brought him a letter in a purse.[96] He quitted Grafton about the 5th of August, and on the 6th was at Buckingham;[97] on the 10th, he was at Woodstock,[98] where he ordered 56l. 13s. 4d. to be paid to Doctor Chambers for the scholars of Oxford, on the 14th.[99] From Woodstock he went to Langley Park, near Colnbrook, at which place a hundred crowns were given to him to play at dice on the 18th;[100] and on the 25th he was at Abingdon.[101] On the 27th he was both there and at Ewelme, the distance between which does not exceed ten miles: at the former, Sir Simon Harcourt's servant brought him a brace of greyhounds, and at the latter an Italian presented him with a melon.[102] His Majesty appears to have passed through Reading on the 28th,[103] and to have reached Windsor on the 31st of August,[104] where he remained until the 17th of September,[105] when he went to Chertsey;[106] but on the 21st he was at Hampton Court.[107] No notice is to be found of Henry's having been at Ampthill after the 28th of July; whence, Hall asserts, he proceeded to Windsor, where he created Anne Boleyn, Marchioness [Pg xix] of Pembroke, on the 1st of September in this year; after which he removed to Greenwich.[108] It is manifest from these Accounts, that the King was at Windsor on the 1st of September, but nothing occurs relative to that ceremony: she is for the first time described in them as Marchioness of Pembroke, on the 19th of that month. His stay at Hampton Court was very short, for on the 28th he was at Greenwich.[109] The period had now arrived which Henry had fixed upon for his interview with Francis, the French monarch; and having visited his fleet at Sheppey on the 30th,[110] he set out for Dover early in October, and on the 6th was at the Mote Park, near Maidstone.[111] Hall says that on the 10th of October the King came to Dover, and very early in the morning of Friday the 11th, embarked for Calais, where he arrived at ten o'clock on the same day.[112] From these Accounts it is evident that Henry went from the Mote to Sheppey by water, thence to Canterbury, where he slept, and then proceeded to Dover. The payments mentioned "to the waits of Canterbury;" to the "keeper of the house where the King lodged" in that city; to the master of the barge and watermen for rowing him to Sheppey;[113] as well the reward to a man who brought bills to Dover,[114] occurred after his Majesty had quitted those places; as the first three were paid on the 11th, and the fourth on the day, when, from the next item, it is certain the King was at Calais, namely, on the [Pg xx] 12th; and which agrees with Hall's statement. The proceedings of the royal party whilst in France; the particulars of the interview between the Monarchs; and of the feastings on the occasion, are minutely related by that Chronicler, but it is not necessary to allude more fully to them, than to observe, that the Accounts about that time are extremely interesting. Among the entries most worthy of notice, are the present of grapes and pears from the Great Master of France to Anne Boleyn; the money lost by the King to the Cardinal of Lorrain, the Duke de Guise, and others, at tennis and dice at Boulogne, and which amounted in one day to 163l. 6s. 8d.; the purchase of a hat and feather for Henry at that place; a gratuity to the singers of the French monarch, and to those of the Cardinal of Lorrain; payment of the doublets given to the guard to wrestle in before the two kings at Calais; the sum of 700l. paid to Cromwell without any reason being mentioned; the purchase of masking geer, or masquerade dresses; the large sums paid for jewels, and which amounted during his stay in France to 3592l. 12s.; the charges of the fool's lodgings and expenses; Henry's offering to the image of our lady of Boulogne, and which is especially mentioned by Hall;[115] the presents of hawks from Francis to Henry; the charges for boats for carrying the King from the ship to the shore, and again from Calais to his vessel on his return, &c. The whole amount paid by the person who kept these Accounts from the time the [Pg xxi] King left Dover until he again landed there, namely, thirty-three days, was 4033l. 10s. 11d. Of that sum, as has just been shewn, all excepting about a ninth, was for jewellery, great part of which was evidently given as presents to persons in the King of France's suite. According to Hall, Henry embarked at Calais on the 13th of November at midnight, and arrived at Dover at five in the morning of the 14th,[116] which agrees with the entry on the 13th of a payment of 4s. 8d. "for a boat to bring the King aboarde his ship at Calys;"[117] and of the same sum "paied to the King's own hands for his offering to our Lady in the Rock at Dover," on the 14th.[118] It is certain that Henry remained at Dover until the 16th, when he went to Sandwich, and seems to have rested there that night, to the friars of which place he gave 3l. 10s. "by way of rewarde;"[119] and crossed the river Stour on the next day[120] on his way to Canterbury, where he apparently stopped at the house of Sir John Feneux.[121] The waits of that city again played to the king, and were rewarded with 18s. 8d. on the 19th,[122] on which day his Majesty arrived at Sittingbourne; and the "wife of the Lion," or in other words, the wife of the man who kept the Lion Inn there, received a gratuity of 4s. 8d.[123] On the 20th, Henry was at Stone Castle, near Dartford, where it may be inferred he remained that night, as 9l. 6s. 8d. was given him, which he lost at play to Anne Boleyn, Sir Francis Bryan, and Sir Francis Weston.[124]

[Pg xxii]

Thence the King removed to Eltham at which place he was on the 24th,[125] and on the 28th he was at Greenwich, where he remained until the 30th, on which day he went by water to Westminster.[126] On the 1st of December he was at the Tower of London,[127] but on the 9th his Majesty was again at Greenwich[128] before the 18th of which month, he had been twice in his barge to the Tower.[129] On the 21st he seems to have gone to York Place,[130] but if so he returned the same day to Greenwich,[131] where Hall says he spent his Christmas,[132] and which is corroborated by the last entry in these Accounts; "Item the same, [i. e. the last] day delivered to the King's grace at night at Grenewich, ij c. corons, 46l. 13s. 4d." evidently for play.[133] It would be superfluous to point out all which occurs relative to Henry's progresses; but it must be observed that he was always attended by a smith with locks and bolts for his chamber-doors;[134] that money was given to a footman to be distributed in charity by the way;[135] that in the hunting season his hounds were sent from one palace to another, the expenses of removing which are minutely stated;[136] that he was generally followed by his fools, jester, minions, and other favourites;[137] and that the celebrated Anne Boleyn frequently accompanied him.[138] Wherever he [Pg xxiii] went gratuities or rewards were given to the keepers of the parks or forests through which he passed, or hunted, not merely to those belonging to the Crown, but to the keepers of the parks of private persons; and if he went on board one of his ships, a sum was distributed amongst the crew.

Upon the personal character of Henry the Eighth, it has been remarked in the preface, these Accounts throw much light; and as whatever relates to the private conduct of eminent persons, is by far the most pleasing, and perhaps most useful part of antiquarian inquiries, the information here presented on that of Henry, is both valuable and interesting.[139]

His Majesty's principal amusement was gambling in its most extensive and diversified shapes, and all his relaxations from the duties of his station in a greater or less degree partook of it. The philosopher will be at no loss to account for the fact; for it is the frequent attendant upon that satiety which unlimited power is sure to produce, though it is often equally the passion of those who want even the necessaries of life. That Henry, tired of more rational enjoyment, and incapable of finding a permanent relief from the ennui of greatness, should have indulged to excess in games of chance is not surprising; and to shew the extent to which that passion was carried, it is sufficient to state that the whole amount paid for his losses at cards, dice, tennis, and other games, [Pg xxiv] together with those lost in wagers amounted in three years to 3243l. 5s. 10d. It is not a little singular that though passionately addicted to gambling himself he was sufficiently careful of the morals of his subjects to issue a proclamation in the 18th year of his reign, forbidding them to play at cards and bowls.

Of his "out-of-door" amusements, shooting at the rounds, hunting, hawking, fishing, horse-racing, bowls, and tennis, were the chief; and in his palaces many hours were daily passed at "the tables" or back-gammon, shovel-board, dice, and cards: wagers on races run against dogs, or at shooting or hunting; payments to people for making dogs perform tricks; gratuities to persons for different feats, as eating a buck, riding two horses at once; and others of a similar description are continually mentioned. Music and literature also occasionally lent their aids to his enjoyments; and that he encouraged the latter is manifest from the exhibitions he founded at the Universities, his occasional gratuities to scholars, and his support of boys at St. Paul's, and other schools, both in this country and Paris. His love of architecture is shewn by the money he expended in building, at his different residences, and we find that he spent on York Place, from April, 1530 to July, 1532, 2400li., besides 10l. 19s. 2d. for glazing it, and 20l. 0s.d. for iron work, on the house at More Park, 60l. in April, and 50l. in June, 1530; and on his buildings at Hunsdon 1533l. 6s. 8d. between May, 1530, and April, 1532;[Pg xxv] forming a total, exclusive of repairs and alterations, of 4064li. 5s. 10d. within three years. Nor was he indifferent to painting, as several entries occur of money given to painters for their works; but as they have been commented upon by Horace Walpole in his "Anecdotes of Painting," they afford no new information on that interesting subject. That writer also gives several entries relative to Hans Holbein from the "Book of Quarterly Payments" in the library of the Royal Society; and as they are intimately connected with the allusion here made to Henry's taste for the arts, accurate copies have been made of them from that manuscript.

After the death of Jane Seymour, the King was not a little perplexed in his choice of her successor: the Duchess Dowager of Milan was first thought of, but she is said to have declined that honor, because nature had not prepared her for it, by endowing her with two heads! Walpole informs us, that the first of these entries refers to Holbein's having been sent to paint her portrait in December, 1538:

December, Ao. 30 Henry VIII. 1538. "Item, Payde to Hans Holbyn, one of the kingis paynters, by the kingis commaundement, certefyed by my lord pryviseales lettre xli. for his costs and chargs at this tyme sent abowte certeyn his gracs affares into the parties of High Burgony, by way of his gracs rewarde, xli."

That the painter was abroad at Christmas, in that year, is evident from the entries of payments then made to the royal establishment;

[Pg xxvi]

"Item, for Hans Holbyn, paynter, nihil."

A letter from Nicholas Wotton, who with the Richard Bearde there mentioned, were deputed to negociate the marriage between Henry and Ann of Cleves, illustrates the next entry; for it proves that "his Grace's affairs" meant to paint the portrait of that lady, and of her sister, Amelia. Wotton's letter, which has been printed by Mr. Ellis,[140] is dated at Duren, the 11th of August, 1539: after describing Ann, he says, "your Grace's servante, Hanze Albein, hath taken the effigies of my Ladye Anne and the Lady Amelye, and hathe expressyd theyr imaiges verye lyvelye."

July, 31 Henry VIII. Ao. 1539. "Item, to Mr. Richard Bearde, one of the gromes of the kingis privichamber, and Hans Holbyn, paynter, by like lettre sent into the parties of High Almayne, upon certain his Gracis affaires for the costes and chardgis of them both, xlli.; And to Hans Holben for the prepairacion of such things as he is appoynted to carie with him, xiijli. vjs. viijd., in all, the somme of liijli. vjs. viijd."

The history of that portrait, which, however "lyvelye," was not faithful, though such the ambassadors obviously meant to describe it, has been told by Walpole and Granger, and is repeated by Mr. Ellis.

After that time several entries occur of the payment of Holbein's quarterly wages, of some of which the annexed are copies:

"Item, to Hans Holbyn, vijli. xs."

[Pg xxvii]

In 1539 he was paid half a year's wages in advance;

"Item, payde to Hans Holbyn, the kyngis paynter, in advauncement of his wages, for one half yere beforehand, the same half yere accompted and reconnyd from Michaelmas last past, the somme of xvli."

At Michaelmas, 32 Hen. VIII. Ao. 1540, he is thus mentioned;

"Item, for Hans Holbyn, paynter, iili. qr p̃us ꝑ warr."

At Christmas, in that year;

"Item, for Hans Holbyn, paynter, iili. qr p̃us manibus."

At Midsummer, 1541, after his name "nihil qr p̃us" occurs.

On another occasion his wages were also paid in advance;

"Item, Paide by the kyngis highnes commaundement certefied by my lorde Pryviseales lettres to Hans Holbenne paynter, in the advauncement of his hole yeres wagis before hande, aftre the rate of xxxli. by yere, which yeres advauncement is to be accompted from this present Mich', And shall ende ultimo Septembris next commynge, the somme of xxxli."

Among other curious entries in that MS. are, a new year's gift of a skreen to Henry, from Luke Hornebaund, painter, who is mentioned by Walpole, and whose wages were lvs. vjd. per quarter; and the following:

The costs of the scaffold erected in Westminster[Pg xxviii] Hall for the trial of the persons involved in Anne Boleyn's fate.;

December 30, Hen. VIII. Ao. 1538, "Item, payde to Jamys Nedeham by the kyngis commaundement certefyed by my lorde prvyseall for the costs and chargs of the Scaffold made in the kingꝭ halle at Westm̑ at the condempnacion of the late malefactors and traytours there, the some of xxviijli. xixd. ob. for the makinge and stuf of the saide Scaffolde, as apperith by rekenyng therof made more at large doth appere, xxviijli. xixd. ob."

January, 31 Hen. VIII. 1540, "To the Quenes pleyers for playing before the kinge, iiijli.;" also, "to the kingis pleyers for pleyng before the king, vjl. xiijs. iiijd.;" "to the princis pleyers for playnge before the king, iiijli.;" and a grant for life of 2l. 2s. 4d. per annum to "Richard Parrowe, one of the King's interlude players," in February, 1540.

The expences of preparing beds at Dartford and Rochester, for the king and Anne of Cleves;

January, 31 Hen. VIII Ao. 1540.—"Item, to Edward Lloid yoman of the Warderobe of Beddes and John Askowe grome of the same, for themself and a Smythe that was with them to set up twoo bedds of the kingis, one at Dertford and an other at Rochestre, and for making redy there for the Quenes Grace, by the space of xxx days, the yoman at ijs the dey, the grome at xxd. and the Smythe at xijd. the day, as apperith by a bill, signed with the Lorde Chamberlains hande, vijli."

[Pg xxix]

In January, 32 Hen. VIII. Ao. 1541.—"To the Ducke of Suffolkis pleyers for pleyinge in the kingis hawle on twelf even, the somme of xxs.;" and we learn from another entry that the names of three of the King's players were Robert Histow, George Birche, and Richard Parrowe, and that the quarterly wages of the three were 1l. 13s. 4d.

Henry's fondness for jewellery was profusely gratified; and in the period embraced by these accounts the enormous sum of 10,801l. 8s. 9d. was expended in precious stones, gold chains, &c. besides 1517li. to his goldsmith for plate. A considerable share of his attention was, it is well known, directed to his navy, and the few entries relating to it are of much interest. Horses or geldings, particularly racing horses, and horses "that did run," as well as "riding boys," clothes bought for the boys "that ride the running horses," and riding caps for them, are constantly spoken of; and dogs for the chace were a frequent, and doubtlessly, acceptable present. At the christenings of the children of some of the chief noblemen, and of those of his favourites, Henry was sometimes a sponsor; and the sums paid to the nurse and midwife on such occasions are carefully noticed. The inferior attendants of the Court, as huntsmen, falconers, and those of the king's guard, received small presents on their marriages, which varied from two to five pounds, according to their situations, or the degree of favor which they enjoyed: on the marriage of the son of "Master Nevill", however, the king gave him ten pounds. Gifts to minstrels, to the astronomer, to physicians,[Pg xxx] to the keepers of the clocks at the different palaces, to posts and servants for bringing letters, to copyists, to the master of his barge, and the keepers of his Majesty's dogs, bears, hawks, &c. are very numerous. His fools, jester, and minions are prominent characters in these Accounts, and the information afforded respecting them tends to illustrate the manners of the age.

Although it would be preposterous to follow a recent example of attempting to remove the stains on Henry the Eighth's character—stains which throw all common crimes into the shade—it would be no less absurd to deny him the common merit of having a few redeeming traits in his disposition. Besides the instances which have been alluded to of his taste for architecture, music, painting, and literature, we frequently find payments which must have originated in the best feelings of the human heart; and of which it will be sufficient to cite, gifts "to an old poor man by the king's charitable alms that laboured to obtain a bill to be signed;" to a footman, "to relieve him in his sickness;" to a French fletcher, "towards his surgery;" to the almoner, "for two sick men at Waltham;" to a "sick priest at Hampton Court;" to "a poor man that had thirteen children, for their relief;" to "little Guilliam, in way of reward, because he was sick in London;" to "three sick women at Greenwich;" to "a poor woman in Chertsey, to purchase out the great seal;" to "a blind woman, being a harper;" "to a poor woman for to redeem her hus[Pg xxxi]band out of prison;" to "a poor woman, to obtain her husbands freedom, and hers in London;" to "a frantick man;" to "Great William, for his surgery, when he was sick at London," &c. These could only have emanated from momentary emotions of benevolence; and they prove that, like even greater monsters, Henry's heart was not entirely shut to the wants and sufferings of his fellow creatures. It is true that pity was a stranger to his breast when either his pride, or safety, or lust, or revenge was in question; but he was undoubtedly compassionate upon less selfish occasions.

Independently of gifts in charity, and to persons supposed to be healed by the King's touching them, payments of 10l. per month were regularly made to Dr. Baugh for his Majesty's private alms. Henry's principal associates, besides his fool, jester, Thomas Smith, Mark Smeton, the two Williamses, Domingo, and one or two other minions, all of whom appear to have been wholly supported and clothed at his expence, were his favorites, Sir Francis Bryan, Sir Henry Norris, Lord Rochford, Sir Francis Weston, Sir Edward Seymour, the Serjeant of the Cellar, and a few others; and on perusing the evidence here afforded of the favor which they enjoyed, and the intimacy to which they were admitted, the mind is impressed with horror at the reflection of how few of them escaped falling victims to his suspicion, jealousy, or revenge. But when the partners of his bed and throne met a similar fate, it[Pg xxxii] would have been a subject of surprise had the companions of his hours of revelry and enjoyment, or the sharers of his sports and amusements been spared. Of Anne Boleyn and her family, numerous curious particulars will be found, many of which tend to show the manner in which she was treated at court from November, 1529, until her elevation to the throne; and as every thing which relates to her is of great interest, the following abstract of them may be acceptable.

The precise time when Henry's attachment to her commenced is uncertain, but three years before her marriage, the Master of the Robes paid for some purple velvet for her; and on the 28th, for stuff prepared for her use. In December following, 180l. were given to her by the King's order: in April, 1530, her servant was paid for finding a hare;[141] and in May, the taylor and skinner were paid for her dresses; and bows, arrows, and other articles for shooting were bought for her.[142] The large share of the king's affection which she then possessed, and which was perhaps deemed to be the harbinger of her subsequent honors, is evident from the fact of the Mayor of London having sent her a present of cherries on the 5th of June; and the servant who brought them [Pg xxxiii] was rewarded with 6s. out of the privy purse. More bows were purchased for her on the 10th of that month; and in an entry in July as well as in the December preceding a person called George Taylor, is expressly styled, "my Lady Anne's servant." Linen cloth for her was paid for in September, in which month ten shillings were given for a cow that one of her greyhounds had killed. A remarkable entry occurs in November, in that year, from which it appears that Anne Boleyn had pawned one of her jewels to her sister Mary, and that Henry ordered 20l. to be given to redeem it; a few days afterwards, about twenty yards of crimson satin were purchased for her use. In December, eight guineas were given for budge skins or furs for her; on the 21st of that month she received twenty shillings in silver: the next day linen cloth for her shirts was paid for, and she was repaid 5l., which she had given to Henry Webb by the King's command. On the 23rd, the same sum was given to her for playing money, in groats, and on the 30th, Henry gave her 100l. as a New Years' gift. In February, 1531, her mercer's bill was again paid, and on the 17th, her servant Taylor, received 11l. 6s. 8d. to be "employed about my Lady Anne Rochford's business;" before the end of which month a farm was purchased for her at Greenwich, and for which 86l. 13s. 4d. were given. Her desk was garnished with laten and gold in April following; when her embroiderer was paid for work done for her. Early in May, 40l. were given her "to play;" on the 22nd, having lost 12l. 7s.[Pg xxxiv] 6d. at bowls to the Sergeant of the Cellar, that sum was paid to him out of the Privy Purse by his Majesty's commands; and on the 10th, eight yards of crimson cloth of gold were bought for her. From that time nothing more is said of Anne Boleyn until December, when her taylor's bill amounting to 28l. 6s. 4d. for her clothes was discharged; shortly after which her skinner's bill of 40l. 15s. 8d. was likewise paid. On the 29th of May, 1532, the King's watermen were remunerated for conveying her to Durham House. In June a splendid cloak and night-gown were purchased, and the price of all the materials, is detailed with the minuteness of a milliner's bill of the present day, from which it seems that both were made of black satin; that the former was edged, and the latter lined with velvet of the same colour; and that the cloak cost altogether 9l. 4s. 8d.; whilst the night-gown was lined with black taffeta, and cost 10l. 15s. 8d.: at the same time sixteen yards of green damask were also purchased for her.

In August in this year, her future elevation became so certain that the wife of one of the most distinguished courtiers of the time, in imitation of the example set nearly two years before by the Mayor of London, endeavoured to propitiate her favour by a present; as on the 17th of that month, Lady Russell, afterwards Countess of Bedford sent her a stag and a greyhound, which she gave to the King, who ordered 40s. to be paid to the servant who brought them. On the 1st of September, Anne Boleyn was created Marchioness of Pembroke, and on the 19th of that[Pg xxxv] month, the Master of the Robes was paid for stuff which was delivered to her servant, probably for the costume in which she appeared at the ceremony; and about a fortnight afterwards certain silks were provided by him for her apparel, the costs of which were 56l. She accompanied Henry to Calais in October, 1532; and her reception by Francis the First as well as the prominent part which she performed in the festivities that attended the interview between the two Monarchs, are fully described by Hall. From these Accounts we learn that the Great Master sent her a present of grapes and pears at Calais on the 14th of October; that on the 11th of November, fifteen shillings were paid to her which she had won of Henry at cards at that place; that on the 20th a few days after her return from France, she, Sir Francis Bryan and Sir Francis Weston, formed a party with the King at Pope Julius' game at Stone Castle in Kent; and again on the 25th, 26th and 31st at Greenwich, on which occasions his Majesty was as usual unsuccessful; that on the 28th she won 11l. 13s. 4d. of Henry at Cards; and on the 25th of December more stuff was bought for her clothes. It is to be observed, that according to some authorities, Anne Boleyn was privately married to Henry, early in November, 1532, immediately after their arrival at Dover from Calais; but nothing is to be found in these accounts either corroborative of, or contradictory to, the assertion. During the three years the whole sum expended for her clothes, &c. was 468l. 6s. 1d.,[Pg xxxvi] and within the same time she received in money 218l. These sums are not, it is true, remarkable for their amount, but they are sufficient to shew the manner in which she was treated by Henry, and the place which she occupied in his affections. Before concluding these observations relative to this celebrated woman, the singular manner in which her sister and herself are described must be pointed out. Until December, 1530, she is merely spoken of as "my Lady Anne," but from February to May, 1531, with one exception, she is called "Lady Ann Rochford," though from that time until her creation to the Marquisate of Pembroke, she is again styled "Lady Ann," after which event she is mentioned either as "my Lady Marquess," or "my Lady Marquess of Pembroke." Her sister Mary too, though married, is called Lady Mary Rochford. Rochford was the title of their father when elevated to the Earldom of Wiltshire, and was then borne by their brother George, who having become involved in his royal sister's supposed crime, died, like her, upon a scaffold.

Before these proofs of the esteem in which Anne Boleyn was held by Henry are contrasted with her subsequent fate, it is impossible to avoid reflecting on the little regard which was then paid to the virtuous Katherine. That her name should be but twice mentioned speaks volumes on her secluded situation; and whilst all that wealth and power could command were lavished on the new favourite, the magnanimous wife was equally neglected by her husband, his satellites, and the world. Remorse seems, however, at[Pg xxxvii] length to have touched Henry's heart, for a few years after her death, namely, in November, 1539, the following entry occurs in the "Book of Quarterly Payments," in the Library of the Royal Society.

"Item, to Mrs. Blanch Twyford, by the Lord Privy Seal's letter, for her long and painful service done unto the Princess Dowager, by way of the King's reward—66l. 13s. 4d."

Mrs. Twyford was bequeathed 10l. by Katherine's will.

The Princess, afterwards Queen, Mary, is frequently noticed, but all which we learn is, that she was ill in June or July, 1531, and apparently again in March, 1532; and that from 10l. to 20l. were occasionally given to her for pocket-money, or to be distributed in charity. The Duke of Richmond, Henry's natural son, is also spoken of; as well as his niece, the Lady Margaret Douglas, daughter of the Earl of Angus, but she is here called Lady Margaret Anguishe.

A few entries are strongly indicative of the superstition of the age; the most striking of which are the King's offerings to the images of our Lady at Calais, Boulogne, Dover, Walsingham and of the Pue; and of persons being "touched for the evil," to whom 22l. 2s. 6d. were paid in three years, each having received 7s. 6d., and which proves the number "touched" in that period to have been fifty-nine. They came wherever his Majesty was, whether in town, or on his progresses, and even at Calais.

A few entries require to be separately noticed, as well as being referred to in the index; namely,[Pg xxxviii] the PRESENTS brought to the King, the PRICES OF LABOUR, SERVANTS' WAGES and LIVERIES, the VALUE OF LAND, HOUSE RENT, and the different kinds of MONEY which are mentioned.

Upon the presents brought, few remarks are required, for it will at once be seen that they chiefly consisted of articles of food of every description, including fish, poultry, game, baked lampreys, swans, pies, fruit, meat, puddings, brawn, cranes, birds; of dogs, horses, foxes, hawks, deer, mules, wild boars, and on one occasion, a lion; of fishing-rods, whistles, wood-knives, &c. and indeed whatever was then in common use.

Nor were these offerings sent only by the higher classes of society; even the poorest of Henry's subjects presented him with something which they fancied would be acceptable to his palate. The bringer uniformly received a gratuity "in reward" proportionate to the value of the gift; thus, the German who brought a lion was paid 6l. 13s. 4d.; he who brought a stag, 20s.; Lady Sidney's servant for bringing quince pies, 6s. 8d.; and Dyrick's wife of Greenwich received the same sum for a capon and chickens. Similar gratuities were given to the gardeners of the king's different seats for bringing fruit and herbs; and as no gift was too contemptible to be accepted, the money thus paid "in reward" sometimes exceeded the value of the donation. In most cases these offerings were doubtlessly tendered as testimonies of respect, but in many the "reward" was, perhaps, the real motive. As the[Pg xxxix] index contains a reference to every thing presented to Henry, it is needless to enlarge on the subject.

Of the PRICE OF LABOUR the best evidence, besides the wages of servants, which will be more particularly noticed, are the sums paid for different articles purchased. We learn, also, that two men in July, 1530, were paid 13s. 4d.. for ten days' work in mowing, i. e., 8d. a-day each. In February, 1532, the hire of seven horses, and the expences of the same number of men for sixteen days, sent into Wales, and other places, at 1s. 8d. per day for each man, amounted to 9l. 6s. 8d., and in July in the same year 1l. was paid for the hire of ten men for three days, in drawing the fishponds at Ampthill, at 8d. a day each.

The WAGES OF SERVANTS differed of course according to their situations; those of a Falconer were generally a groat a day, and he was allowed one penny a day for the food of each hawk intrusted to his care; but those of Nicholas Clamp, one of the principal falconers, were 10l. per annum. A Huntsman received 35s. 5d. a quarter, and as well as most of the other servants, he had 4d. per day for his board wages. The allowance for the board of the boys of the stable was 1s. 8d. per week each; and of the boys that "run the King's geldings," or as they are sometimes called, "the King's riding boys," 2s. a week each, whilst on one occasion we find six days' meals for them paid for at the rate for each of them five pence a day. The keeper of the Barbary horse was allowed 1s. 8d. per week for his board, his wages being 4l. a year; the Hen-taker was however better[Pg xl] paid, as he received 45s. 7d. a quarter. The regular wages of the King's watermen were 10s. a quarter; but it would appear that they were paid extra upon every occasion when they were employed. Sexton the Fool's, servant's wages, were 15s. a quarter. The gardeners of York Place and of Beaulie, or New Hall, in Suffolk, received about 12l. per annum; the gardener of Greenwich 20l. a year; and the gardeners of Windsor and Wanstead 41. a year.

Of the VALUE OF LAND, only one entry affords positive information. It relates to land bought to enlarge the little Park of Windsor, for which purpose 4l. were paid for two acres of meadow; but some idea may be formed on the subject from the following items: a farm at Greenwich, purchased for Anne Boleyn in February, 1531, cost 66l. 13s. 4d. but unfortunately we have no idea of its extent; in November, 1530, fourteen loads of Hay, and six loads of Oats cost, with the carriage to Greenwich Park, probably from the immediate neighbourhood, 6l. 2s. 8d.; and in January, 1532, is an entry of 7l. 4s. 4d. for the same quantity of hay at 5s. 6d. the load, and of six loads of oats at 9s. the load, including the carriage to the same place: hence we find that the carriage cost 13s. 4d.; but in May following oats were 6s. 6d. the load.

Of the Rent of Houses we have the subjoined particulars; that of a House for the Henchmen, or to use the words of the MS. "of the house where the Henchmen lie," was 2l. per annum, whilst that "of the[Pg xli] one hired for Lord Rochford at Greenwich was 10l. a year." When some ambassadors proposed going to Waltham, a house was hired for them, and the owner was paid 20s.; and it appears from "the Book of Quarterly Payments" before mentioned, that "the rent of a house in London for the standing of the great standards with the rich coats of the guards for half a year" was 17s. 4d.

Liveries. Independently of the falconers, huntsmen, watermen, and other servants, the King's painters regularly received liveries, the cost of which was generally 22s. 6d.: this sum included 2s., the allowance for the badges which were affixed to them; but we find Patch the Fool's man, allowed 23s. 4d. for his livery coat, and to others 26s. 8d. were sometimes given for that purpose.

[Pg xliv]

Besides pounds, shillings, pence, &c. the following coins are frequently mentioned, an account of the value of which between 1529 and 1532, may be acceptable:—

Angels.[150]—A gold coin of the value of 7s. 6d.

Angellots,[151] or Angelet, is described to have been a half-angel, current for 3s. 9d.; but in the only place where it is mentioned in these Accounts, it must have been inserted by a mistake of the writer for Angel, as eighteen Angellotes are said to have amounted to 6li. 15s. i.e. 7s. 6d. each.

Crowns.[152]—A silver coin generally worth 5s.; but all the entries in which it is mentioned prove that its value was then but 4s. 8d.

Crowns of the Rose.[153]—Gold pieces coined by Henry the Eighth in 1526: they were current for 4s. 6d.

Crowns of the Sun.[154]—French gold coins, so called from the Mint mark. They were current in this country for 4s. 6d.

Rials, or Royals.[155]—A gold coin then worth 11s. 3d. a half and quarter real or royal were of proportionate value.

Sovereigns.[156]—A gold coin of the value of 22s. 6d. from 1518 to 1534; after which they were current for 20s. The only entry in which they are mentioned is of a person having in 1531 borrowed 11li. 5s. in "Souferayns," i. e. ten sovereigns, for the King.

[140] Original Letters, First Series, vol. i. p. 121.

[141] See "Addenda."

[142] Cardinal du Bellai, in a letter to the Grand Master of France, the Duke de Montmorency, in 1532, says "Sometimes Madame Anne joins our party, each equipt with the bows and arrows, as is, you know, the English style in hunting." "The Lady Anne presented me with a complete hunting suit, including a hat, a bow and arrow, and a greyhound."

[143] Of this sum, which is so much greater than the usual monthly disbursements, 1743l. 8s. were for the expences of an embassy to the Emperor; 1340l. 7s. 6d. for the King's losses at play; 100l. paid into his own hands; 200l. advanced to one of his Majesty's servants for Henry's use, and 100l. for the wages of the crews of two of his ships.

[144] This sum included 4400l. paid to Sir Bryan Tuke, evidently for public affairs; probably embassies.

[145] This includes 1333l. 6s. 8d. for the payment of the "retinue" or garrison of Calais; 2490l. 1s. 4d. expended in jewels; and 100l. as a new year's gift to Anne Boleyn.

[146] Including 1886l. 15s. 4d. for jewellery and plate, and 833l. for other articles to a merchant stranger, and for cloth of gold.

[147] The cause of this sum being so disproportionate to either of the others may be explained by there being included in it 2000l. lent to the Cofferer of the Household until Michaelmas next following; 2000l. placed in the hands of Thomas Alvard "to be by him safely kept for his Graces's use and behoof;" hence 4000l. of it cannot be considered to have been spent, a remark which also applies to a few other entries; and 2000l. for the King's buildings at Westminster.

[148] In this month Henry's interview with Francis the First, at Calais, occurred, and which accounts for the increased expenditure.

[149] Of this sum 3587l. 17s. 8d. were paid for jewellery.

Abbots Robert, a waterman, 59.

Abingdon, 246, 247, sæpe, 248.

Acton Robert, the king's sadler, 68, 72.

Adington, the skinner, 101, 183.

Alard ——, a jeweller, 185, 195.

Alberton Richard, a falconer, 221.

Aleyn Thomas, 81, 124, 188, 203.

From the entry, in p. 124, it would appear that this individual was a tradesman.

Alleys, for cleaning the, in Windsor park, 32.

Alford Master Thomas, 19, 20, 58, 142, 176. See also Alvard.

Alile, 217.

A person attached to the jewel house.

Alms, the King's private, 9, 19, 32, 36, 41, 42, bis, 59, 90, 106, 117, 125, 134, 145, 159, 173, 174, 182, 185, 194, 197, 208, 225, 254, 256, 264, 266, 272, 273, 274, 276, 278.

----, paid in, on Good Friday, 40.

----, money given to the Princess Mary to be distributed in, 127.

----, expences of a funeral paid by way of, 172.

----, money given to be distributed in alms during the king's journey, 265.

Upon the large sums expended in charity, some remarks will be found at the commencement of the volume.

Almayne, to an, i.e. to a German, 117, 193.

Almayne, to a gentleman of, 178.

Alvard Thomas, 96, 116, 199, 228, 231.

This appears to be the same person who is sometimes called Thomas Alford. See Alford. He is supposed by Mr. Ellis to have been keeper of Cardinal Wolsey's wardrobe, and which opinion is confirmed by the entry in p. 116. A very interesting letter from him to Cromwell in 1529, detailing the particulars of the last interview between Wolsey and the king, has been printed by Mr. Ellis, and also by Mr. Singer. If the conjecture be correct that he was the individual who is noticed in other parts of the book by the name of Alvord and Alford, it is manifest that after the Cardinal's decease he held an office of trust under the king.

Amadas Master Robert, 97, 104, bis, 188.

Apparently a jeweller.

Ambassador, the Pope's, 9.

Ambassador, to a doctor, being nephew to the bishop, who was ambassador here, 49.

From the manner in which this payment is mentioned it may be inferred that it was a gratuity to the individual, in consequence of his relationship to the ambassador.

Ambassadors, paid for the rent of a house intended for them, 74.

[Pg 294]

The king being then, September 25, 1530, at Waltham Abbey, a house was engaged for the use of some ambassadors who were to have had an audience there, but they evidently did not occupy it.

Ambassadors, to servants of, 104, 106, 135.

Ambassador of France, 106.

Ambassadors of Hungary, for the expenses of the, 160.

The only embassy from Hungary noticed by Hall was in March 1527, when the Count of Ottonbrough, John Burgrave, and others had an audience of the King at Greenwich. After which, that Chronicler says, "they were well cherished and diverse tymes resorted to the courte and had greate chere and good rewardes, and so the 3rd. of Maie next ensuying they toke their leave and departed homeward." If this entry related to them, it is evident that they were on one occasion received by Henry at Grafton.

Ambassador, money paid to the Scotch, 250.

Like the gratuity to the relation of the ambassador, in p. 49, this appears to have been a present.

Ambreys, eight cupboards, some with Ambreys and some without, 93.

"A cuppborde of waynscote with ambries."—Harl. MSS. 1419, f. 55. This word is supposed to have meant originally, a little purse wherein money was put for the poor, and at length was used for any hutch or close place to keep meat left after meals; a cupboard for keeping cold victuals.—Todd's Johnson. It is evident however from the manner in which the word is here used that it was part of a cupboard rather than the cupboard itself, though it might have been appropriated, as a sort of safe, for the keeping of cold meat. Mr. Markland suggests that in the present instance "ambreys meant cupboards within cupboards, or places of more secure concealment."

Ambrose, a painter, 221. See "Painter."

Ampthill. See Antill.

Amsham Richard, 70.

Apparently a draper.

Anchor for an, for the king's boat, 262.

The small sum paid for an anchor, a cable, and a sail, five shillings, is worthy of attention as shewing the value of such articles at the period.

Andrew, the Italian friar to, 117, 128.

Angell John, the jeweller, 139.

Angling rods given to the king, 65, 240.

The proof which these entries afford that Henry the Eighth was an angler, must interest the disciples of Isaac Walton. But Henry was not the only English monarch who was attached to the pursuit, Charles the Second, as well as his present Majesty having frequently sought relief from the cares of state in that tranquil amusement.

Anguisshe Lady Margaret, 98, 183, 281.

---- Earl of, 180, 247.

Archibald Douglas, 6th Earl of Angus, in Scotland, who, in 1514, married Margaret queen dowager of Scotland and sister of Henry the Eighth, from whom he was divorced before 1526. Angus had fled into England and placed himself under the protection of Henry, who, in 1532, settled an annuity of 1000 marks upon him; and he remained in England until the death of James, King of Scotland. The Earl died in 1556. Lady Margaret Angus was evidently the issue of that marriage, and consequently the king's niece. She was at the time, when some pocket money was given her, little more than fifteen years old. This distinguished woman was the mother of Henry Lord Darnley, father of King James the First, and progenitrix of every subsequent monarch of this country.

Annys or Ans Vincent, a jeweller, 218, 220.

Anservis, a friar at Guildford, 63.

Ansham, 220.

Ansley Bryan, 103.

[Pg 295]

Apparently a tradesman.

Ansley Anthony, 134, 183, 193, 283.

All the entries in which this person's name occurs relate to the expences of playing at tennis, hence it may be inferred that he was the keeper of the ground; or perhaps the marker.

Anthony Anthony, 161, 179.

A person of these names was Master of the Ordnance to Henry the Eighth, and made the celebrated drawing of the "Henry Grace de Dieu."—See a note to Archæologia, vol. vi.

Anthony Mark, 109, 157, 165.

Apparently a Venetian merchant.

Anthony a Sackbut, 174.

Anticks, for two brought to the king, 226.

Two buffoons, or two grotesque figures, might be meant by this entry, for Shakspeare seems to use the word in both senses, "We can contain ourselves were he the veriest antick in the world."—Induction, Taming the Shrew. "Indeed three such antics do not amount to a man."—Hen. V. act iii. sc. 2. Dr. Meyrick, however, with more probability, suggests that it referred to "two antiques," the taste "for articles of that description being then at its height in England, as it had been previously in Italy, on the revival of the arts." In old inventories, "one antick head piece," "one antick armour," often occur. Milton also, says,

"Antick pillars massy proof."

Il Penseroso.

Antill 68, bis, 69, sæpe, 70, sæpe, 161, 163, bis, 167, 168, 236, 237, 238, 248.

----, keeper of the parks at, 70, 162, 163, 238.

Ampthill, in the hundred of Redbornstoke, in Bedfordshire. In 1441, William Beauchamp, Lord St. Amand, possessed it in right of his wife, and sold it to Sir John Cornwall Lord Fanhope, one of the heroes of Agincourt, and who, according to "Leland, builded the castelle of Antehill of such spoils as it is said he won in France." In 1453 Henry Duke of Exeter, son of Fanhope's wife, by her first husband, entered into a bond of 6000 marks to abide by the arbitration of Sir Thomas Bourchier respecting the manor of Ampthill and some other estates. In 1524, Roger de Grey Earl of Kent, alienated it to the Crown. It was made an honor by act of Parliament, the preamble to which states, that it was Henry the Eighth's intention "to erect, build, and edifie upon his grace's manor of Ampthill, sumptuous, stately, beautiful, and princely buildings." Ampthill has derived a mournful interest from its having been the residence of the unhappy Katherine, during the early part of the proceedings relative to her divorce, and she was cited from thence to attend the Commissioners at Dunstable. Henry was evidently at Ampthill in August 1530, September 1531, and July 1532. Mr. Lysons, says, no account of the manor is to be found during several subsequent reigns. The palace was allowed to go to decay. James the First bestowed the honor on the Earl of Kelly, but it soon reverted to the Crown. The custody of the Great Park was granted to Lord Bruce in 1613, and his descendants became lessees of it, in whom it continued until 1738, when the lease was purchased by the Duke of Bedford, and it was exchanged in 1800 to the late Earl of Upper Ossory. In the 17th century a family of Nicholls were lessees of Ampthill Great Park, and after the Restoration it was given by Charles the Second to Mr. John Ashburnham. In 1720, his descendants sold it to Lord Fitz-William, from whom it was purchased, in 1736, by Lady Gowran, grandmother of its late owner, the Earl of Upper Ossory, who died in 1818. That nobleman erected a column, in 1770, on the scite of Ampthill castle, upon which are inscribed the following beautiful lines by Horace Walpole.

"In days of yore here Ampthill's towers were seen,
The mournful refuge of an injur'd queen;
[Pg 296] Here flow'd her pure but unavailing tears,
Here blinded zeal sustain'd her sinking years;
Yet freedom hence her radiant banners wav'd,
And love aveng'd a realm by priests enslav'd.
From Katherine's wrongs a nation's bliss was spread,
And Luther's light from Henry's lawless bed."

Lysons' Bedfordshire.

Apothecary, Sergeant, to the, 79, 146.

One of these entries is curious, as the Sergeant Apothecary appears to have brought some gloves to the king. They were probably perfumed gloves.

----, Culberd or Cutberd, the king's, his bills paid, 44, 124, 165, 203, 251.

----, master John, the, 147.

Apparel for Lady Anne, paid for making, 179.

Apples, Quene brought, 163.

Armourer to the, 44, 184, 194, 196, 234.

----, paid the, for garnishing books, 214.

The word garnish is used very indefinitely; it here seems to have meant placing clasps on books.

Armoury at Windsor, the keeper of the, 41.

Armoury, to two persons of the, 259.

Arms the King's, to Henry Maynering for making the, 166.

From the charge 8l. 19s. as well as from the word "making," it would seem that the royal arms were in this instance carved.

William Fitz Alan, K.G., who succeeded to that dignity in 1524, and died in 1543.

Arundell Master, 60.

Assheley Hector, keeper of Hounsdon, 42, 60, 73, 81, 111, 136, 161, 174, 211.

All the payments to this individual were for the buildings at Hounsdon, which will be more particularly alluded to.

Asshley Thomas, 215.

Servant to Lady Ann Rochford.

Astell Edmond, keeper of Greenwich Park, 205, 213, bis, 217.

These payments relate to Greenwich Park, or for the food of the deer in it.

Atkins Richard, 36.

Attorney to the King's, 135.

The Attorney General in May, 1531, was Christopher Hales, but it is not certain that the payment was to that officer.

Audley Lord, 65.

John Tuchet, who was restored to that dignity in 1512, and died ante 1558.

---- ——, his son's child christened, 145.

John Tuchet, Lord Audley, above mentioned, had issue, three sons, George, Edward, and Richard. George succeeded to the dignity in 1558, and had a son Henry, who also became Lord Audley, and it was probably that Henry who was christened in May 1531, and which would fix the date of his birth to that year, a point which has not been ascertained. Richard, the 3rd son of Lord Audley, also had issue, to one of whom this entry might relate, but the former is most likely. The state of the pedigree of that family is however so very confused and imperfect, that it throws no light on the point.

Audley, the king's servant, 204.

Augustine, the falconer 105.

St. Austins, i. e. Augustines Canterbury, Abbot of, 274.

John Sturvey, alias Essex, who was Abbot from 1523 until the dissolution.

Avelande Thomas, 46.

This individual seems to have been the proprietor of some land, which was bought to enlarge one of the parks at Windsor. It consisted of two acres of meadow; the sum paid for which, 4l., is worthy of notice, as shewing the price of land at the period.

Averay of the Botelles, 9, and Averay John of the cellar, 143.

Clearly the same person. He appears to have been attached to the cellar, and from the way in which he is described "of the bottles," they were perhaps entrusted to his custody.

Averay, 188.

Query,—If Thomas Avery, who in the 17th. Hen. VIII., was one of the Gentlemen Pensioners.—Household Ordinances temp. King Hen. VIII. p. 168.

Awbray, Yeoman of the Crossbows, 24.

Aynes Elizabeth, 184.

Badges on liveries paid for, 16.

It is scarcely necessary to remark, that the servants or retainers of eminent personages were distinguished by peculiar badges, which were placed on the arm and other parts of their dresses.

Bag for keeping the king's shirts in, 103.

Bags paid for, 110.

Bagot William, 157, 158, 159.

A seller of bows, pellets, or shot, &c.

Bagshot Park, to the keeper of, 152.

Baynton Master, 100.

Baker —— servant to the Princess Mary, 146, bis.

Bakhouse John, a soldier, 81.

"Ball" the king's dog for finding, 43.

Balls tennis, paid for, 283.

"Banished" to families sent out of Greenwich, 104, 125, 129, 173, 273, bis.

The last entry excepting one on this subject confirms the opinion relative to the former, namely, that they were families in which an infectious disease had appeared, and which were consequently sent out of Greenwich lest it should extend to the court, and endanger the royal person. The king however seems always to have borne the expences attending their removal, and which are deserving of notice as showing what was considered a sufficient sum for the purpose. Some of the persons thus "banished" were evidently above the lower orders, for we find that William Morley had six servants, and Hadstone, three.

Baptist John, an Italian Jeweller, 97, 99.

Barba John, a sackbut, 173.

Barbariste Horse [i. e. Barbary[Pg 298] Horse], to Powle that keeps the, 165.

Barbary Horse, to the keeper of the, 133, 199, 204.

Henry's attachment to horses is manifested by numerous entries, and this horse, which is in one place called a "Barra horse," and in another the "Barbaristo horse," was apparently a favourite Arabian sent from some part of Barbary, from which it derived its appellation. Shakespeare also speaks of a "Barbary horse:"

"When Bolingbroke rode on roan Barbary, that horse
That thou so often had bestrid."

Rich. II. A. 5. Sc. 5.

"You'll have your daughter cover'd with a Barbary horse."

Merry Wives of Windsor, A. II. Sc. 2.

Barberries brought, 258.

Barde, for a, 9.

Or Barbe, explained by Dr. Johnson to be the trapping of a horse, also dressed in a warlike manner, caparisoned:

"If the barded horses ran fiercely."

Hollingshed.

That citation as well as those by Arch. Nares, tend to prove that it was "a general name for the several pieces of defensive armour with which the horses of knights were covered in war." Little light is thrown upon the word by the manner in which it is used in this instance, excepting that it is spoken of in the singular number, and that it was for the king's use; but as Copeland is mentioned in another place, p. 18, as a mercer, it may be inferred that "the bard" was of cloth or silk, and which, if it was for a horse, renders it almost certain that it was a trapping or ornament, rather than a piece of armour. This idea is confirmed by the following passage in Hall: "The king kept a solempne justes at his manour of Grenewiche, he himself and xi wer on the one part and the marques of Exsceter with xi wer on the other parte. The kynges barde and base and all his bend wer of cloth of gold and silver richely embraudered, with a mannes harte," &c. p. 707. Dr. Meyrick observes, "The barde was the complete armour for the horse, though sometimes confined to the poitrail, which when made to reach up to the pomel of the saddle, was called haute barde." This horse armour was often covered with silk or cloth of gold.

Baret, ——, 252.

----, for repairing the king's, 45, 135, 169, 247.

----, for dressing the king's, 96, 155, 181, 281.

i. e. cleaning and perhaps ornamenting the barge.

----, paid to watermen for waiting with the, 112, 114, 120, 136, 139, 211, 215.

----, paid for the hire of a, 122.

----, for a hide to cover the king's, 182.

----, for trimming the, 44, 45.

----, for painting the, 44, 195.

----, the great, 208.

----, for tallowing and brenning the king's, 211.

This item refers to the process by which the bottom of an uncoppered vessel is cleaned. In the sixteenth century barges were as important parts of royal and noble establishments, as carriages are in the nineteenth. Henry frequently removed from Westminster to Greenwich and Richmond, and was almost always conveyed by water. His equipage was sent in a similar manner, hence the frequent charges for the great and little barges, boats, watermen, &c. The royal barge was doubtlessly extremely splendid, for it appears that the painting cost upon one occasion 30l. and upon another Vincent the painter was paid for the "trimming," by which is probably meant slightly painting and ornamenting, 15l. 4s. 9d. The best[Pg 299] idea of its appearance is perhaps conveyed by the barges which now belong to the city companies, many of which are beautifully painted with allegorical figures, landscapes, &c. and gorgeously ornamented.

Barge, to the master of the king's for conveying his Majesty to Shepey, 266.

---- great, for serving the king with the, 279.

Bargeman, John, the king's, 110.

Bargeman, to one of the, for repairing the king's barge, 135.

Barker Ambrose, mercer, 188, 189, 282.

Barley ——, a priest, 169.

Barnard Matthew, a foreign merchant, 186.

Barnard's wife, 121, 256.

Upon one occasion she made a present of two shirts to the king, and on the other was paid for making eight shirts, 2l. 13s. 4d.

Barnardin, the gunner, 36.

Barnes, i. e. Berners Lord, 207.

John Bourchier, second and last lord Berners, the well known translator of Froissart and other works both from the French and Italian. He died on the 16th March, 1533. See Bourchier.

Barnwood Park, to the ranger of, 154, bis, and keepers of, 155.

Baron the Chief, 194.

Richard Lyster or Leicester, who held that office from the 15th May, 1530, until 1546.

Baroper Park, to the keeper of, 151.

---- ——, 152.

Beaurepaire, still called Baroper, situated between Reading and Andover, the seat of the ancient family of Brocas, from the Conquest to the present time.—M*.

A Physician.

Basing, 18, 155, 231;

---- purveyor of the ship, 179.

Baskets to carry plate, 20.

Bath for a horse, paid for a, 204.

This item is not a little curious; 7s. 2d. for a bath for a horse shows the great attention which was paid to Henry's stud; yet it must be remembered that it was for the favourite Arabian before noticed as the Barbary horse.

Battersea, 24.

Baugh Doctor, one of the king's almoners, 9, 19, 32, 42, 59, 77, 90, 106, 117, 134, 145, 159, 174, 182, 208, 225, 254, 276, 280.

The large sums expended by the king in charity have been elsewhere noticed.

Bayles for the king's barge, 11.

A bail is a kind of small bucket, used for emptying the water which accumulates at the bottom of a boat. To "bail out a boat" is the expression still used by sailors for that operation.

Baynton Master, 36, 85, 209, bis.

Beagles, Robert Sheere, keeper of the, 17, 24, 31, 39, 45, 70, 79, 94, 125, 136, 219, 290.

These entries relate to the sums paid either as wages to the keeper of those animals, or for their food. His wages are said in some places to have been 5s. a month, but in others the 5s. a month is stated to be for meat for them, and as the latter entry never occurs near the former, and is uniformly the same in amount, it cannot be determined which is meant. That sum could scarcely have included both his wages and food for the dogs. Occasionally a reward of 20s. seems to have been bestowed upon him.

Beagles' meat, for 187, 199, 213, 231.

Beans brought, 218.

Bears, [Beres] to the keeper of the king's, 14.

If, as can scarcely be doubted, by "Beres" is meant Bears, this item proves that Henry had a kind of private menagerie, for it is not likely it could refer to the animals in the Tower.

[Pg 300]

Beaulie, the gardener of, 4, 5, 8, 18, 36, bis, 39, 44, 45, ter, 50, 56, 61, 72, 77, bis, 80, 81, 87, 96, bis, 103, 120, 124, 130, 142, 147, 166, 169, 176, 188, 197, 200, 207, 209, 219, 220, 224, 232, 235, 241, 256, 257, 264, 287, 288.

"New Hall, a magnificent mansion not far from Woodham Walters, formerly belonging to the Butlers, Earls of Ormond, after to Thomas Bollen, Earl of Wiltshire, of whom Henry VIII. purchased it by exchange, and making costly additions to it, gave it the name of Beaulieu, which, however, never prevailed among the generality."—Gough's Camden, vol. ii. p. 44. New Hall, or Beaulieu, is about five miles S. E. by E. of Maldon, on the side of the æstuary of the Blackwater.—"Leland states that when Henry 'ædes sibi comparassit cœperunt in immensum excrescere ingentibus Principis impensis, novumque juxta ac elegans nomen Belli Loci adsumere.' Camden informs us that the new name never prevailed among the common people; and after the king's death, it is presumed, the place resumed its original appellation of New Hall." M.

Bed, and appurtenances, paid for the making of a, 77.

Some curious descriptions of the beds of our ancestors will be found in the "Testamenta Vetusta" sparsim, from which an idea can be formed of their magnificence. Even in this era of luxury our beds are far inferior in splendour to those of the fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth centuries.—"In the inventory of household furniture of Skipton Castle, taken in 1572, we have proof that a state bedchamber of that period 'was not inferior in magnificence, as far as its accommodations went, to the same apartment in a modern nobleman's house.'—Whitaker's Crav. p. 328. A 'bed of downe with a bolster' is there valued at Cs. 'The teaster of tynsell and blake vellvett with armes, havynge curtains of sylke, with frynges, 20l.'"—M.

Bedesmen, S^{r}. Torche the king's at the rood of Greenwich, 33, 188, 122.

A beadsman, it is scarcely requisite to remark, is an individual who is bound to pray for the person by whom he is supported. From the title "Sir" being applied to Henry's beadsman, it seems that he was a priest, and we learn that he received 40s. a year.

Bedill Master, 26.

Bedwell, keeper of the park of, 71.

Beads, for two pair of, 81.

Bekensell, or Bekensaw, a scholar of Paris, 23, 38.

Beks Master, 41.

Bells gilt, for hawks, paid for, 159.

They appear to have cost 7s. 2d. the dozen, or about seven pence three farthings each.

Belson John, 28.

It is quite evident, notwithstanding his name does not indicate it, that this individual was a Welshman, but of what situation in life does not appear.

Benet Doctor, 186.

Benton ——, 257.

Berewarde Sergeant, 187.

Berkeley Lord, 29, 43, 117, 140.

Thomas Lord Berkeley, who succeeded his brother in that dignity in 1523, and died on the 28th January, 1583.

Berkeley Lady, 48.

Apparently the wife of that nobleman, namely Cecilia, widow of Richard Rowdon, Esq.

Berkhampstead Park, in the county of Hertford, to the keeper of, 67.

Betting Money, lost by the king, in bets at shooting, tennis, &c. 36, 137, 189, 220, 226, 227, 229.

These entries are more fully noticed under "Gambling."

Bill, to a poor man that endeavoured to get one signed, 40.

[Pg 301]

Bills for bringing such as were assigned, 267.

"Bill", in both instances appears to be orders for payments. In the last, 23s. 4d. was probably allowed for the bearer's travelling expenses from London to Dover, and the former was a charitable donation to some unfortunate man, who was endeavouring to get an order signed.

Bird Henry.—See Byrde.

Biscuits brought, 169.

Bitch, for keeping the little white, 127.

----, the king's brought, 147.

Blackheath, for placing wine in the cellar, in the tower at, 98.

----, for making a wall upon the new ditch at, 213.

Black John, the hardwareman, 23.

Blackwall, 175.

Blade Smith, Maryon the, 108.

A sword-cutler.

Blake Francis, 93.

A footman.

Blanch John, 28.

A foreign minstrel.

Blind woman, to a, being a harper, 168.

Blount John, 16.

Blue Mantle, 15.

John Norbonne, who was created to that office, at Bridewell Place, by the Duke of Norfolk, Earl Marshal, on Allhallows-day, 1528, and was promoted to be Richmond Herald in 1586. He died in the tower, but for what reason he incurred the royal displeasure is unknown. The embroidery work for which he was paid 35l. was probably of the king's arms or badges.

Boar, a wild boar's head brought, 181.

Boars wild, brought, 5, 13.

Board, the, that stood in the chamber over the library at Greenwich, brought to York Place, 87.

Boards and nails paid for, 159.

Boats, for the hire of, 12, 14, 25, 87, 93, 118, 177, 195, bis, 208, 215.

Boat for tallowing and brenning the, 211.

---- and Barge, for oars, anchor, and cable, &c. and for expenses whilst painting the, 262.

----, paid for a, for the king's embarkation and landing at Calais, and likewise for that of his stuff, 272, 273.

---- paid for, for the king's embarkation at Calais, landing at Dover, and crossing the water at Sandwich, 273.

----, for matting the, 281.

This probably means covering the bottom of the boat on the inside with mats, to prevent the baggage and other articles put on board it from being rubbed or wetted.

----, to "dressing" the king's, 8, 96.

----, for repairing the king's, 45, 107.

----, a great load of books brought, 110.

----, paid to watermen for waiting with the, 112, 114, 120, 128, 136, 139, 201, bis, 215, 219.

----, for mending the king's great, 164.

----, for cotton for lining the king's, 182.

This is a singular entry. Lining a boat with cotton may either mean that cotton was used instead of oakum for caulking, or the inside of the after part of the boat might have been lined for the purpose of comfort in sitting, or leaning against the sides.

The note on barges applies in some degree to these frequent notices relative to boats, excepting that the former were chiefly used for the conveyance of the king and persons of consequence, whilst the latter carried his "stuff," that is, the necessary household goods, &c. and servants.

[Pg 302]

Bocher, the king's waterman, 128.

Bokeller-maker, i. e. Buckle-maker, 124.

Bolenger John, a Minstrel, 70, 129.

In one place he is merely called a Minstrel, but in the other he is specifically described as a Sackbut.

Bolayn Anthony de, a merchant of Paris, 15.

Boleyn Sir Edward, Knt. 10, 44.

Apparently the uncle of the celebrated Ann Boleyn. He married Ann, daughter and heiress of Sir John Tempest, but little more seems to be known of him.

Boleyn Lady Ann, 4, bis, 13, 44, 47, 50, 61, 72, 74, 88, bis, 90, 95, 97, bis, 98, bis, 101, 128, 179, 183, 217, 222, 223, 245.—See Pembroke.

Some observations on these entries will be found at the commencement of the volume.

Bolougne, 268, sæpe.

----, paid the king's offering to our Lady of, 272.

The king was at Bologne in November, 1532, and offered 11s. 3d. to the image of our Lady of that place.

Bolts and Rings for, 251.

We learn from this entry that when the king was in progress, a smith attended with rings and bolts for his Majesty's sleeping apartments.

Bone Sir Robert, 160.

This individual was overseer of the buildings at Grafton, from which it would seem that he was an architect. The title "Sir," probably implies that he was a priest, knighthood being then too highly estimated to be conferred upon any but persons of consequence.

Bonnets for the King, 15.

---- paid for, 23, 63, 94, 99, 123.

The word bonnet was used nearly synonymously with hat. They were usually made of cloth, and were sometimes ornamented with feathers, gold buttons, &c.

---- Milan, for, 24, 173.

What a Milan bonnet was, does not exactly appear. In both instances they were bought for the king's fool.

---- night, for two scarlet, 218.

Bonvice Anthony, 82.

Books paid for, 18, 44.

----, Mass, 24.

The price of six Mass books with velvet to cover them was 3l. 11s.

---- brought, 85, 89, ter, 106, 109, 110, 112, 116, 137, 190, 274.

With the exception of the last entry of a book given to the King at Canterbury, in November 1532, all the notices refer to books sent by Abbots and Priors, or of the removal of boat loads of books from one palace to another, between October 1530 and January 1532, but chiefly early in 1531, and there can be little doubt that they related to the subject which then occupied Henry's mind, his divorce.

----, inventory of, brought, 89.

The inventory in question was clearly the catalogue of the library in the Abbey of Reading, and was doubtlessly sent to enable Henry to ascertain if it contained any thing relative to the theological point in which he was then so deeply interested.

----, for printed, 101.

----, paid to an Armourer for garnishing, 123, 214.

Probably for putting on clasps.

----, paid for vellum and other "stuff" for the king's, 137.

---- sent to the bookbinder, 255.

Bookbinder, paid the, 189.

Boots, paid for, 30, 31, 123, 139, 183, 259, 264.

Bone ——, one of the hunt, 26.

Botelles, i. e. Bottles to Averay of the, 9.—See Averay.

[Pg 303]

Bottle for a, to contain salad oil, 12.

Boucher to, and his fellow on going to Calais, 124.

Bourchier Sir John, 54, 231.

Apparently Lord Berners.—See Berners.

Bouilloigne Anthony, 138.

A French merchant.

Bowge Skins, for, 90.

Budge skins. Fur, but more properly lamb's fur. They appear to have cost about 2s. 3d. per dozen.

Bowland, one of the stable, 17.

Bowls, money won of the king at, 20, 209, 210, bis, 211, bis, 212, 216, sæpe, 229, 278.

Bowling Alley, at Eltham, for making the, 218.

A bowling alley is a covered space for that game instead of a bowling green; the expenses of making the one at Eltham are said to have been 4l. 4s. 8d.

Bowman Thomas, 187.

Boworth, 270.

Bows for, 47, 50, 64, 158, 159, 265.

----, stone, brought, 104.

A bow for shooting stones.

----, yeoman of the king's, 75, 107.

---- fetched, 146.

----, paid to Bird for his fee, for the, 163, 263.

----, paid for pelletts, i. e. shot for the stone, 220.

Bowstaves for, for the king's use, 267.

Bowyer the, 24, 50, 55, 180.

Boys of the Stable, 3, 11, 12, bis, 18, 19, bis, 22, 23, bis, 29, 30, 31, 39, 44.

These items all appear to refer to the same persons, who seem to have been boys maintained for the purpose of riding race horses.

Boy, to one, that ran a nag, 39.

---- of the private chamber, 63.

----, the carriage of, to Bury, and their expenses at, paid for, 81.

Boy, a, sent from Lord Dacres to the king, 206.

Considerable trouble is said to have been used in procuring boys for the purpose of riding the king's racing horses, and for his chapel; and the expenses of sending one from the borders of Scotland appear to have amounted to 3l. 6s. 8d.

Brace of dogs brought, 156.

Brakes for mowing those in Greenwich Park, 230, 256.

Brakes are explained both by Dr. Johnson and Archdeacon Nares to be a thicket of brambles or thorns. The privilege of "mowing the brakes" is still reserved to the keepers of the royal parks in the instrument by which they are appointed. It possibly meant cutting the underwood.

Brandon Richard, 30, bis, 287, a Falconer.

Braser, for a, 46.

Worn by archers on their left arms.

Brass, paid for two curtalls [i. e. quintals] of, 170.

Brawn brought, 89.

Browtherer, i. e. the Embroiderer's bill, 128.

Bray Lord, 20.

Edmund, first Lord Bray. He was summoned to Parliament in 1529, and died in 1539.

Breams brought, 62.

---- bake, brought, 32.

Breech at Woolwich. See Woolwich.

Breme Richard, 128.

Brennyng the barge, &c. for, 211. See Barge.

Brereton Bryan A, 17, 74.

Brereton William, 51.

A "Master Brereton" who was a gentleman of the privy chamber, was sent from the king to Wolsey at Southwell after his disgrace.—See Cavendish's Life of Wolsey, p. 253. It was apparently this individual who was executed in consequence of his supposed connexion with Ann Boleyn.

[Pg 304]

Bridewell, to one that pretended a title to, 6.

Henry the Eighth erected a magnificent house on the scite of the ancient one of St. Bride, for the reception of Charles the Fifth, in 1522, and called it Bridewell. The king often lodged there, and held a parliament in it in 1525. It was the residence of Katherine in 1529, pending the proceedings relative to her divorce. Edward the Sixth gave it to the corporation of the city of London for an hospital. Why a person who pretended to have a title to it should be rewarded with 20s. it is difficult even to guess.

----, 118, 122, 132.

Bridge, for a private, at York Place, 20, 82, 93, 109.

Cavendish, in his life of Wolsey, speaking of the Cardinal's entertainments of Henry at York House, now Whitehall, says, "They thereupon looking out of the windows into Thames, returned again and showed him that it seemed to them there should be some noblemen and strangers arrived at his bridge as ambassadors from some foreign prince." Ed. Singer, v. 1, p. 151. Whether it was this bridge which Needham was paid for finishing in January, 1530, is uncertain, but in July following he was employed to build a private bridge.

Briges Thomas, 249.

---- John, 171.

Broaches for, 82.

Broach with an amethyst, for a, 163, 262.

Broadheads for, 46.

Brockborow park, to the keeper of, 70, 162.

Apparently, Brogborough Park, near Amphill, in Bedfordshire.

Brokes Master, 154, 155.

Brombery park, to the keepers of, in reward and to their wives for meat and drink, 238.

Query, if this be not intended for Brogborough Park.

Brooms brought, 159.

Brown John, a shooter, 65.

Query, a game-keeper.

Brown William, 227.

Brown ——, 115, 237.

Browne Sir Anthony, 7, 26, 46, 75, 92, 97, 148, 153.

This well known favourite of Henry the Eighth was some years afterwards appointed Master of the Horse, and created a Knight of the Garter, and died in 1540.

---- John, 201.

Bruges satin, doublets of, 23.

---- for, 222.

Bryan Sir Francis, 9, 60, 72, 76, 83, 209, 211, 212, 216, 232, 243, bis, 244, 263, 274, 275, bis, 278.

Many of the entries respecting Sir Francis Bryan, one of the brightest ornaments of Henry's court, tend to confirm the idea of the intimacy between him and his sovereign. They show that he was constantly the king's companion in his amusements at shovel board, bowls, dice, primero, and other games; and on one occasion we find 50l. was given to his servant as "a token from the king to him," an expression which no where else occurs, and which, it would seem, was a delicate manner of making him a pecuniary present. He was the only son of Sir Thomas Bryan, who died in 1517, and was one of Henry the Eighth's Gentlemen of the Bedchamber. Bryan was the author of some sonnets which are inserted amongst those of the Earl of Surrey; and he is consequently noticed by Dr. Nott, in his elegant edition of that nobleman's productions. Hall also states many curious facts respecting him, particularly of the loss of one of his eyes at a tilting match.

Bryan, keeper of greyhounds, 58.

Bryce John, 155.

Bucks brought, 26, 49, 55, 60, bis, 67, 136, 150, 194, 229, 232.

----, paid to the guard for eating a, 156.

Why the guard should have been paid 40s. for eating a buck is not easily explained. If the guard[Pg 305] consisted of very few persons, it might have been a sort of wager.

Buck, to the wife, where the king shot at a tame, 171.

Buckhounds, the king's private, 19.

----, for canvas to cover a cart for carrying the, 154.

When the king went to Ampthill, it seems that his hounds were sent there also, for the purpose of hunting.

----, paid to the office of the, for killing the first buck, 157.

----, to the office of the, 161, 257.

Buckhunts, paid to the, 254.

So little is known of the regulations of this office, that the Editor acknowledges himself ignorant of the cause of these payments.

Buckingham, 157, 242.

----, to the keeper of the house at, 242.

Buckram for, 223, bis.

---- at Hounsdon, for the, 42, 60, 73, 81, 111, 136, 174, 211.

---- at Westminster, for the king's, 228.

Henry's taste for building has been often noticed, and these payments were for its gratification.

Bukworth ——, 229.

Bulloyne, [Bologne], 54.

Bulstrode Lady, 4, 36, 112.

Burdet William, 142, 263.

Bustards brought, 187.

Butter William, a keeper of Windsor Forest, 77, 128.

Buttons of gold for caps, 25, 33.

Butts Doctor, 262.

From the following passage in Cavendish's life of Wolsey, we learn that he was one of the king's physicians. "At Christmas he [Wolsey] fell sore sick that he was likely to die. Wherof the king being advertised was very sorry therefore, and sent Doctor Buttes, his grace's physician, unto him, to see in what estate he was." Cavendish then gives a conversation between Henry and the Doctor on the Cardinal's illness. Vol. i. pp. 220, 1, 2. There is also in that valuable work an engraving of a contemporary illumination, representing Butts receiving tokens of favour from Ann Boleyn for Wolsey. Dr. Butts is honourably commemorated by Fox, as the friend of Bishop Latimer. See also Gilpin's Life of Latimer, p. 42-45.

Butts, to a new pair of, 145, 148, 250.

Mounds of earth erected for the purpose of a target, against which arrows were shot for amusement.

Cambric, ells of, 84.

Cambridge, the Vice Chancellor of, 30.

John Watson.

----, to Mr. Latimer and other scholars of, 73.

This item is of much interest. Gilpin, in his life of Latimer, says, that Dr. Butts, the king's physician, being sent to Cambridge relative to the divorce, applied to Latimer for his opinion and that of his friends upon the abstruse points in dispute, and finding them favourable to his wishes, brought Latimer with him to Court. It is possible that the entry in question referred to that circumstance; but it is most probable from the words of it that Latimer and the other scholars were afterwards sent for, instead of accompanying Butts.

Candish, servant of the Duke of Suffolk, 26, 154, 251.

Candisshe, 58.

The gardener at Wanstede.

Ancestor of the present Earl of Essex. He was knighted for his valour at the battle of Spurs, and is said to have attended Henry to Calais in 1532.

Capon, a fat, given, 178.

Capons brought, 50, 181, 207, 220.

Caps. See Night and Riding.

---- for, 33, 283.

----, riding described, paid for, 173.

Cards, money delivered to the king to play at, 113, 115.

----, money lost at, 272, 276, 278.

[Pg 307]

The use of Cards in England was very common long before the period here alluded to, and it is only necessary to refer those who wish for ample information, to Mr. Singer's interesting inquiries on the subject. The following notices had however escaped his researches, though one of them is alluded to in a letter in the appendix to his work. In the 1 Edward IV. 1461, it was enacted, "that noo lord nor other personne of lower astate condicion or degree, whatsoever he be, suffer any Dicyng or pleiyng at Cardes within his hous or elles where he may be let it, of any of his servauntes or other oute of the xij dayes of Cristmasse, and yf any presume to doo the contrarie at any tyme that he avoyde hym oute of his hous and service." It is then provided that, "noon Hosteler, Tavener, Vitailler, Artificer or Housholder or other use any such play or suffre to be used any such play in their houses or elleswhere upon payne of prisonement and other arbitrarie at the kynges wille."—Rot. Parl. vol. 5, p. 488. In the 3 and 4 Edw. IV. 1463-4, "Cardes for pleiyng" were forbidden to be imported and sold in this Country, "upon peyne to forfeit theym."—Ibid. p. 507. In the 12th and 14th years of the same monarch, in a statute respecting the scarcity of bow staves it is said, "that the occupation of shotyng is thus discontynued and almost lefte, and the said Yomen in defaute of such Bowes, nowe usen unlawfull occupations as pleiyng at the Cardes, Dise plaiyng," &c.—Ibid. vol. vi. p. 156. The games at which Henry played appear to be Primero and Imperial. "Specimens of the court cards of a pack of the time of Henry VII. are given in Strutt's Sports and Pastimes, from the originals in the possession of Francis Douce, Esq."—M*.

Cardinal, a servant of the, 103.

It is too generally known to require repetition, that when Wolsey fell into disgrace, the king seized upon all his effect. This item informs us that the servant who brought the Cardinal's chariot horses received 20s.

----'s goods, the expenses of a ship for bringing the, 112.

This entry must refer to the expenses of bringing such part of the Cardinal's effects as were either at York or Winchester; but most probably the former, in which case it may be concluded that they were shipped at Hull.

----, to Sir William Kingston for his expenses when he was sent to bring up the, 115.

Sir William Kingston was sent by Henry to bring up, or in fact to take the Cardinal into custody, in November 1530, and found him at Sheffield Park, under the surveillance of the Earl of Shrewsbury. The particulars of his interview and subsequent proceedings, until death released his prisoner from the fangs of his tyrannical master, on Tuesday the 29th of that month, are fully related by Cavendish.—Ed. Singer, vol. i. p. 302, et seq. Kingston's expenses on that journey were, it seems, 41l. 10s. 10d.; but which were not paid him until the ensuing March.

Cardinal, paid for silk, for the, 116.

This entry must have referred to a transaction which took place many months before.

----'s plate and stuff, paid people for attending to the, 123.

----'s stuff for keeping the, 126.

We learn from this entry that Edward Lloyd, a person belonging to the king's wardrobe, was entrusted with the charge of all the Cardinal's goods. See also the item on the subject in p. 112, which has just been noticed.

Carew Sir Nicholas, 119, bis.

A Knight of the Garter, Master of the Horse, and Lieutenant of Calais. He was, says the most elegant of living biographers, "Henry's constant companion in all the splendid and romantic sports of his court, administered successfully to his pleasures, and was not without some secret share in his councils."—Lodge's Illustrious Portraits. Carew, however, like so many of his contemporaries, afterwards incurred the royal displeasure, and that displeasure was, in his case too, but the prelude to disgrace and death. He was arrested upon a suspicion of high treason, and beheaded on the 3rd March, 1539. He married Elizabeth, the sister of Sir Francis Bryan, who has been before mentioned in these notes, by whom he left issue. Whether it was this lady or her mother-in-law, Magdalen, daughter of Sir Robert Oxenbridge, widow of Sir Richard Carew, who is alluded to in the following entry, is not certain, but most probably the latter.

---- Lady, 6.

Carpenter, to Needham, the king's, 82, 93, 109, 138.

---- labour, for, 234.

[Pg 308]

Carpes brought, 62, 74, 100, 267.

What "the Carriage" was which is here mentioned is unknown.

---- of nets, for the, 52.

---- of boys to Bury, 81.

---- of the king's stuff, paid for the, 58, 159.

Evidently a dog which had been taught to fetch and carry.

Cart, paid for a, and things belonging to it, 154, 156.

---- with the hounds for covering &c., for the, 233, 234.

Carter John, a waterman, 47, 155, 164, 169, 181, 182, 193, 197, 201, 208, 211, ter, 215, 247, 262, 266, 270, 277, 278, 279, bis, 281.

Carters, to the, that came from Oxford, 3.

Cary Thomas, 10, 59, 67, 81, 143, 144, 145, 226.

The greater part of these entries relate to money given "in reward," but two or three of them are of shooting money, whence it may be inferred that he was "one of the shooters" or game keepers.

---- John, 41.

Cast of Lanretts brought, 141, 149.

A cast of lannerets, is a couple or set of hawks.—See Lannerett, infra.

---- of Falcons brought, 198.

A couple of falcons.

Catalogue of books brought, 89. See Books.

Cavalcant John, apparently a merchant, 144, 198.

The father of William the first and celebrated Lord Burleigh. He was Groom and afterwards Yeoman of the Robes, and received several grants of lands from Henry the Eighth. He died in May, 1552.

Cele, vide Seal.

Cellar, Serjeant of the, 24, 32, 113, 115, 190, 216, 278.

Only two of these entries relate to expenses connected with this individual's official situation. The others were payments of money lost to him by the king at dice, cards, and bowls, excepting on one occasion, when money was paid him to be His Majesty's partner at one of these games. It is thus manifest that he enjoyed a large share of the king's personal favour. His name has not been precisely ascertained. Richard Hill, whose widow remarried Sir John Mason, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, was Serjeant of the Cellar in this reign, but in what years is uncertain.

----, the king's privy wine laid in, 182.

Cellaring wine, paid for, 98, 99, bis.

Chadwyke Peter, embroiderer, 103.

Chain, for a gold, 103.

Chambers Doctor, 194, 243.

A Physician.

Chancellor of France, 48.

Chape, a, for knives, paid for, 168.

A Chape, is explained in Todd's Johnson to be "the catch of any thing by which it is held in its place, as the hook of a scabbard by which it sticks in the belt; the point by which a buckle is held to the back-strap;" also, "a brass or silver tip or case that strengthens the end of the scabbard of a sword." "'Chape' is sometimes[Pg 309] applied to the hook of a scabbard, and at others to what is by Heralds termed the crampet, in which case the other metallic pieces on the scabbard are called Lockets. Chape like Chapter, seems to be derived from Caput."—M*.

Chapel, Master Cole, Subdean of the kings, 13, 82.

---- feast, for the, 64, 242.

----, stuff for washing the, 93.

The surplices, vestments, &c.

---- men, to the, 149.

----, to the hermit of Deptford, to repair his, 150.

----, to the Dean of the king's, for the chapel feast, "the old ordinary reward," 242.

Chapman keeper of the garden at Hamptoncourt, 63, 68, 249, 253.

Chariot horses, brought, 103.

Doctor Percy in his notes on The Northumberland Household Book conjectures that a chariot "bore no resemblance to the modern carriage of that name, nor was intended for the same use, but was simply a large waggon drawn by six or seven of the stronger kind of horses, called, on that account, 'large trotting horses.'" Mr. Markland, in his dissertation on Carriages in England, Archæologia, vol. xx. p. 405, coincides with the view taken of the point by Bishop Percy, and has cited several proofs in confirmation of it. Unfortunately the entry in question throws no light on the point, for the words "the chariot horses," might be used in the modern acceptation or in that of those gentlemen, who are however borne out in their opinion by the authorities which they have adduced, and which are farther supported by the will of Bartholomew Lord Burghersh, in 1369, who speaks of the "chariot" which shall carry his corpse to the grave. Humphrey, Earl of Hereford, in 1861, left legacies to his "vj charetters."

Charity, vide Alms.

Chartesaye, i. e. Chelsea, 77, 148, bis, 253.

Chamley Master, 280.

"Chast greyhounds," the king's brought, 58, 174.

What was meant by the king's chaste greyhounds is difficult to explain. That certain part of the greyhounds should be confined to perpetual chastity, is not a little curious, if such was the fact; but might not the word chaste have been used for "chace," i. e. greyhounds kept for the sole purposes of coursing, as distinguished from those which were admitted to the parlour, and to the presence of their royal master?

Chelsea, vide Chartesaye.

Cherries brought, 47, 56, bis, 57, 58, 143, 145, 148, bis, 225, bis, 228, 231, 232.

---- for the hand guns, for a, 159.

Cheyney John, 46.

---- Sir Thomas, 6, 10, 238, 216, 265.

The Governor of Rochester Castle, and afterwards a Knight of the Garter, Warden of the Cinque Ports, and Treasurer of the Household to Edward the Sixth. In the 12th Hen. VIII. he was one of the Challengers against all gentlemen in feats of arms for thirty days, at the meeting of the Cloth of Gold, and as is evident from one of these entries, was frequently admitted to the society, and stood high in the favour of Henry, who it would seem, from the next entry, stopped at his house in Kent, on his road to Calais, in 1532. He died in 1559.

----'s park, to the keeper of, and to his servants, 266, bis.

Chickens brought, 126, 131,[Pg 310] 193, 207, 215, 218, 229, 230, 242, 255, 264.

---- of the stable, for gere, for the, 182.

----, to a poor man that had thirteen, 93.

----, to the Master of the, 287, 291.

From the ordinances made at Eltham, for the regulation of the household, it appears, that he was the head of the "Gentlemen of the Chapel," and was allowed 30l. per annum for his wages.

----, expenses for the, 268. See Boys.

Chippings for hounds, paid for, 7, 19, 24, 45, 49.

Fragments for their food.

Choristers of Windsor, 58, 140, 214.

Christening of a child, paid on the, 106, 117, 136, 145.

It may perhaps be inferred that on each of these occasions the king was one of the sponsors.

Christmas, money given against, 11, bis.

Christopher, Milliner, 25, 63, 65, 76, 99, 151, 173, bis.

Citrons brought, 80.

Clamp Nicholas, a falconer, 17, 30, 34, ter, 38, 42, 71, ter, 85, ter, 95, sæpe, 129, ter, 130, ter, 181, 192, 198, 200, 221, 280, 285, 287, 288, ter.

All of these numerous entries were either payments of his wages or for food for the hawks.

---- Philip, 3, 38, 287.

Clayton the baker, 50.

Clays, a minstrel, 134.

Clerk of the Closet, 90.

---- of the Kitchen, 116.

---- of the Beds, wardrobe of the, 183.

Cleyton, 115.

---- Samson, 209.

Cloak, paid for a, for Lady Ann, all the materials of which are minutely noticed, 222, 223.

The manner in which even the most trifling article connected with this cloak is mentioned is not a little amusing. The whole expence attending it was 9l. 4s. 8d.

Clock, to the keeper of, at Hampton Court, 26.

----, paid for a, 16, 51, 62, 65, 91, 109, 189.

---- of Westminster, to the, 58, 68, 82, 120, 197.

----, paid the French, 189.

----, to a, 215, bis.

About the reign of Henry the Eighth clocks became a favourite article of luxury, and these entries shew the heavy sums which that monarch spent in the purchase of them. At the royal palaces of[Pg 311] Hampton Court and Westminster it seems a person was specially appointed to regulate the clocks. "We have the price of a clock at a very early period, anno 1292, novum orologium magnum in Ecclesiâ (Cantuariensi) pretium, 30l."—Dart's Cant. App. p. 3. "Mr. Walpole has in his possession a clock, which appears by the inscription to have been a present from Henry VIII. to Anne Boleyn. Poynet, Bishop of Winchester, gave an astronomical clock to the same king.—Buckman's His. Invent. vol. i. p. 454."—M.

----, i. e. box, 37.

----'s, trussing, for a pair of, 49, 81.

----, two, belonging to the king, brought to Westminster, 208.

Coffer of Cypress wood, a, 184.

Cypress seems to have been held in much esteem for boxes from an early period. We find that John of Gaunt, in 1397, speaks of "a little box of Cypress wood," in his will. The following extract from "an account of Church Plate Money, Gold, and Silver Images," &c. delivered to Henry the Eighth, printed in "Memoirs of the Antiquities of Great Britain, relating to the Reformation," from the original, in the Bodleian Library, is a curious illustration of "Coffers."—"Paid, William Grene, the King's Coffer Maker for makyng of a coffer, covered with fustyan of Naples and beinge full of drawe boxes lyned with red and grene sarcynet to put in stones of diverse sorts vj li. xviij s. jd.

Christopher Lord Conyers, who succeeded his father in that dignity, in 1529, and died in 1538.

Coo Christopher, 170.

Cook, to Sir Anthony Browne's, 148.

The payment of 20s. in reward to Sir Anthony Brown's cook, must be considered to have arisen from his having on some occasion peculiarly gratified the king's palate.

Copartners. See Partners.

Copeland, of London, a mercer, 9, 18.

[Pg 312]

Cords, for, 159.

Cordener (Cordwainer), to the, 109, 126, 153, 179, 183, 197, 219.

Cornelius Hays.

---- of the Tower, 186.

Costardmonger, to the, 97, 100, 109.

Cots, for deer, 17.

Though the word appears to be so written, and is therefore thus printed, there can be little doubt from the context and from other entries, that it was meant to be "oots," oats.

Cotton, 51.

---- George, 118, 134, 137.

Cottons, to the three, for sets lost to them at Greenwich, 143, bis.

It does not appear in what rank of life either George or the two other Cottons were, but all these entries relate to money won by them of the king at shooting.

----, paid for several yards of, 70, 159.

----, for lining the king's boat, 182. See Boat.

----, paid for to truss plate, 190.

Cow, paid for one killed, by greyhounds, 74.

The value of a cow, in 1530, seems to have been ten shillings.

Cowley, 207.

Cowpar, a falconer, 162.

Course, a, won of the king, 220.

Evidently a race won by Sir James Pickering against his dog, on which Henry seems to have betted 2l. 5s.

Coyves for the king, 84.

Cranes brought, 85, 187, 188, 300.

A crane was a favourite article of food, and formed an important dish at all great dinners.

Crepyne, or Cryspyn, John, jeweller, 4, 179, 210, 280.

Cromer Doctor, 137.

Cromwell Master, 101, 224, 261, 267, ter, 268.

This individual was afterwards the celebrated Earl of Essex. It is well known that he was taken into Henry's service on the fall of his former master, Wolsey, and was Knighted in the year when his name first occurs in these accounts, after which time he made rapid progress in the King's favour. These entries respecting Cromwell add in no other way to what is recorded of him, than as they confirm the opinion that he was frequently employed on services which were of a secret nature. The one relating to the payment of the king's tomb will be more fully noticed elsewhere, and in June, 1532, we find him presenting Henry with "Sucado and marmalade;" but the most remarkable entries are of large sums paid to him "by the king's commandment," without mentioning for what purposes. Indeed, on one occasion, there is a particular appearance of mystery in the disbursement. It is a payment to the king's jeweller of 46l. 13s. 4d., "Maister Cromwell knowing to what use it should be employed unto." The entries alluded to all occur in October, 1532, and the sums paid to him amounted to 826l. 6s. 8d., which may be supposed to have been privately expended at Boulogne, in relation to the interview with the French Monarch; but it must be remembered that Henry is, by some writers, supposed to have married Anne Boleyn early in the November following; hence, it is possible that these payments were in some way connected with that event.

Crossbows, Giles, yeoman of the, 24, 98, 180, 194.

[Pg 313]

Crossbow, forked heads for a, 67.

"These, in the time of Henry the Eighth, were confined to the chase. A specimen is preserved in the collection of Mr. Meyrick, and which is engraved in Skelton's Illustrations.

Cryspin John, a jeweller, 170, 210. Vide Crepye.

Cucumbers brought, 72, 163, 241, 242, 250, 264.

Cupboards, for, with and without Ambreys, 93.

This entry is more particularly noticed under "Ambrys," but a few words will here be said on the word "Cupboard." Some grounds exist for considering that it formerly meant a very different piece of furniture than a "case with shelves," as Dr. Johnson describes it, and as it is explained by Archd. Nares. The entry referred to in these accounts, it is true, appears to have been of an article resembling a modern cupboard; but it is by no means certain that such is the fact. From the following passage it would seem that the word was used for a kind of closet. Speaking of Lord Shrewsbury having appeared before the Privy Council of Queen Elizabeth to vindicate himself from some charges brought against him, a writer of the period says, "Yet, for that he did so instantly require to have their aunswere to that which he had propounded, his Lordship was desired to withdrawe himselfe from the table to the cupbord, which he did, and so uppon some consultacion amonge the reste of their Lordships then sittinge, his Lordship beinge agayn called to his place, it was," &c.—Lodge's Illustrations, vol. ii. p. 298. It could scarcely have been meant that Shrewsbury merely quitted the Council table and went to where the cupboard was placed, at a distant part of the room. The following extract however does not support the opinion, that a cupboard was a closet; but it could not have resembled the modern piece of furniture of that name. Cavendish, speaking of the chamber in which Cardinal Wolsey died, says "the windows being close shut, having wax lights burning upon the cupboard," &c. vol. i. p. 318. It is quite certain that an article called a cupboard was sometimes moveable. Robert Frevyll, by his will dated in 1521, gives his son John, among other articles, "a stone cobard in the hall."—Testamenta Vetusta, vol. ii. p. 575. Hall thus uses the word. "The Dutchmen bring over iron, tymber, lether, and weynskot ready wrought, as nayles, lockes, basketts, cupbordes, stools, tables, chestes, gyrdels with poyntes," &c. p. 587. In the account of the furniture of Henry the Eighth's palaces, in the Harleian MS., 1419, the word "cuppbord" frequently occurs; and the following extract supports the opinion, that it did not resemble the article now known by that name. "Item, one large cuppbord carpet of grene clothe of gold, with workes lyned with bockeram, conteyning in lengthe three yards iij q'ters, and three bredthes of the same cloth of gold," f. 20.

---- for green, 223.

Damsons brought, 65, 66, 243.

Dancing-dog, paid to a fellow with a, 188.

Darcy lord, 104, 160.

Thomas Darcy. He was summoned to Parliament as Lord Darcy in 1509, and became a Knight of the Garter; but having delivered Pontefract castle to the rebels under Robert Aske, he was arraigned on a charge of high treason, found guilty, and beheaded on the 20th June, 1538.

---- Sir Arthur, 117, 136.

Second son of Lord Darcy just mentioned. Dugdale says, that in September, 1534, he was made captain of Jersey, and in the 5 Ed. VI. Lieutenant of the Tower of London. It is singular, that in the only instances in which he is noticed in these accounts, it should be on similar occasions, the repayment of money which he had disbursed at christenings. He died in 1561, s. p.

Darell Lady, 50, 91.

Dart-heads for, 251.

Datchet, [Co. Bucks,] to the feryman at, 35, 54, 146, 252.

Dates brought, 203.

Daunce Sir John, 112, 113, 114.

David St. money given for keeping his feast, 28, 114, 197.

These were probably gifts to Welshmen, to enable them to celebrate the feast of their tutelar saint. In Mr. Ellis's Original Letters, First Series, v. i. p. 273, the following notice occurs among the expences of the Household of the Princess Mary between 1536 and 1545, and which tends to illustrate these entries: "Item, geven amongs the yeomen of the King's guard, bringing a leke to my lady's Grace on Saynt David's day, xvs."—M.

Davy Hugh, servant to the Princess Mary, 148.

---- Little, 144.

----, with a slit nose, 64.

This elegant soubriquet seems to have been used to distinguish him from Hugh Davy and little Davy—all of whom had perhaps the same baptismal name.

---- the footman, paid for his burial expenses, 172.

---- the footman's wife, to, 176.

A gratuity given to the widow of the servant whose burial expenses are just mentioned.

Dawson Thomas, 108.

---- Marshall of the king's hall, 191, 243.

Dean Sub, of the king's Chapel, to the, 46, 64, 149.

Deboyen Baron, in Ireland, 136.

It is difficult to say who was the individual referred to. The only name at all resembling it in the Irish Peerage, about the period, is Dunboyne; but that title was not conferred until 1537, six years after the date in question, when Sir Edmund Butler was so created.

Deer gelded, a, brought, 13.

---- "Quick," brought, 16.

Deer with young.

----, for taking and removing, 19.

[Pg 315]

Deptford, the smith of, 40.

----, to the hermit of, 150, bis.

Derby Earl of, 168, 256.

Edward Stanley, third Earl of Derby, to which title he succeeded in 1521, and died in 1574. The first entry is of 3l. 6s. 8d. paid at the christening of his lordship's son on the 4th October, 1531. The Earl had issue four sons, but as the date of their births does not occur in the peerages, it is impossible to say to which this item referred.

Desk a, garnished with laten and gold, 123.

Dessefort Anthony, a brush merchant, 243.

Dials for, 65, 91.

Dice, money given to the king to play at, and money lost by him at, 20, 32, 243, bis, 246, 248, 267, 268, 270, 271, 278.

Dice has been a favourite amusement in this country for many centuries, and Mr. Singer, in his interesting volume on Playing Cards, gives many curious particulars on the subject. Under the word "Cards" ante, extracts from the statutes restricting the use of them in the reign of Edward IV. have been inserted, to which the following from the Rolls of Parliament, of the 2 Hen. IV. 1410, may be an acceptable addition. The Commons prayed that servants and labourers who offended against the statute prohibiting them to play at "Coites, dys, gettre de Peer, Kayles, and autres tieux Jeues," should be enforced; to the enactments in which that Parliament added a punishment of six days, whilst such Mayors as neglected to enforce it were to be fined 20s. and Constables 6s. 8d.—Vol. iii. p. 643. In the 17 Ed. IV. 1477, a statute was enacted prohibiting "newe ymagined pleys called Closshe, Keyles, half Bowle, Handyn and Handowte, and Queke borde," it was recited that "the Lawes of the Lond" forbad "any unlawful plays, as Dise, Coyte, Fote ball, and such like Plays, but that every person myghty and able in bodie should use his bowe by cause that the defense of this lond stondeth much by archers."

Dobinson John, 91, 129, 175, 204, 216, 247, 279.

A person attached to the stable, probably a groom.

Dogs called "Cut" and "Ball," for finding, 43, 108.

---- brought, 13, 156.

----, paid to a person for making dogs draw water, 67.

This is the second entry relative to dogs being taught to perform certain tricks, for a dog has been before spoken of "that was a carrier."

----, collars and muzzles for, 186.

Dog-chain, for a, 94.

----, a race run against a, 220.

Dome man, i. e. Dumb man to the, 108, 176.

Domingo, 17, 32, 33, 37, 190, 204, 205, 267, 270.

This individual is thus noticed by Skelton:

----al his trust hanges
In Balthosor, which healed
Domingo's nose, that was wheled:
[Pg 316] That Lumberdes nose mean I
That standeth yet awry,
It was not healed alderbest.
It standeth somwhat on the west,
I meane Domingo Lomelyn
That was wonte to win
Muche money of the Kyng
At the cardes and haserding.
Balthasor that healed Domingo's nose
From the puskilde pocky pose, &c.

Skelton's Poems, "Why come ye not to Court," Ed. 1736, p. 175.

The above extract presents us with the surname of Domingo, states that he was a Lombard, and had been under the professional care of Dr. Balthazar. Most of the entries in which he is mentioned relate to payments of money that he had won from the king at cards and dice, and which in less than three years amounted to above 620l. As the circumstance is alluded to by Skelton, the accuracy of that part, at least, of his account of Domingo is established. He was, like Palmer and others, one of Henry's "diverting vagabonds," and seems to have accompanied His Majesty wherever he went, for we find that he was with him at Calais in October, 1532.

Dompue, to one who rode two horses at once, 218.

This word does not occur in any of the usual Glossaries of Dictionaries. In the absence of any thing positive as to its meaning, a conjecture may be hazarded, and if erroneous perhaps forgiven. "Domter un cheval" is to break in a horse. Might not then a Dompue or Dompne, for it is doubtful in which way the word is spelt, mean a horse breaker, and which would fully agree with the sense in which it is here used?

Donne Sir Edward, 67.

Dorset Marchioness of, 149.

Probably Margaret, widow of Thomas Grey, Marquess of Dorset, K.G. who died in 1530.

Doublets for, 3, 11, 23, bis, 39, 51, 54, 87, 98, 119, 136, 199, 277, 281, bis.

Douglas Lady Margaret, 98, 183, 281.

The king's niece. See Angus.

"Dove," to the wife of the, 72, 97.

To the woman who kept an inn with the sign of the Dove. Both these entries are to the same purpose, of money paid for linen cloth for Anne Boleyn, and which amounted to 23l. between September and December, 1530.

Dover, paid into the king's hand for his offering to our Lady of the Rock of, 273.

----, 273, sæpe.

---- Prior of, 223.

---- Castle, paid for carrying the king's stuff to, 274.

All these entries relate to money expended at Dover, when Henry landed there on his return from France in November, 1532.

Durisme, [Durham,] Bishop, of 46.

Cuthbert Tunstall, who was translated to Durham from London in March, 1530. He was deprived in 1552, restored in 1553, again deprived in 1559, and died[Pg 317] in November, in the same year, aged eighty-five.

Dyso John, 122, bis.

One of the king's watermen.

Edgcombe Sir Piers, 153.

Ancestor of the present Earl of Mount Edgcombe. He was made a Knight of the Bath at the creation of Prince Arthur in 1489, and a Knight Banneret at Therouenne, and died on the 14th August, 1539. The entry relating to him is of 7l. 14s. paid to his servants for bringing two prisoners from Cornwall to London. A similar payment was made to him in 1491, "Item, to the servants of Piers Edgecombe that brought unto us two prisoners, fyve marks." Ellis's Original Letters, 2nd Series, vol. i. p. 173.

Edmond, keeper of Greenwich Park, 60.

Embroiderer, to the king's, 103, 124, 128, 280.

Emerald, paid for an, 6.

Emperor, embassy to the, 19. Lord Herbert says, on the "8th December, 1529, he (the king) writ letters with his own hand to the bishop of Worcester and Sir Gregory Casilis, then with the Pope, to tell them that he had sent Sir Thomas Bolen, newly created Earl of Wiltshire and Ormond, with John Stokesley, elect bishop of London, and Edward Lee, as his ambassadors to the Emperor," on the subject of the divorce. The payment of the money for their expences was not however made until the 24th January following. We here learn that it amounted to 743l. 8s.

Emyson, Sexton's servant, 11, 94, 120, 138, 193.

Enfield chase, the rangers and keeper of, 74.

Erasmus an armourer, 22, 44, 62, 105.

Eton, to poor women of, 36.

----, the provost of, 52, 55, 58, 63, 64.

Each of these entries excepting one, are of payments to the servant of the Provost for bringing cakes to the king, for the making of which we may infer that his servant was celebrated.

Evans John, a falconer, 37, 38, 51, ter, 78, bis, 110, 116, 133, bis, 140, bis, 141, 144, 171, 185, 212, 227, bis, 259, 278, 286, 287, 291.

[Pg 318]

All these entries were of payments for his wages, board wages, or for food for the hawks in his custody.

Evans Thomas, 187.

Everingham John, a waterman, 48, 108.

Evesham, abbot of, 116.

Ewelm, to the keeper of, in Oxfordshire, 154.

Ewry, one of the, 20.

Ewstace, a jeweller, 15.

Exeter, bishop of, 213.

John Voysey, dean of Windsor. He was appointed to that See in August 1519, and resigned it in 1551.

Exeter, Marquess of, 61, 62, bis, 149, 152.

Henry Courtenay, eleventh earl of Devon, who was elevated to the Marquisate of Exeter in 1525. This distinguished nobleman was the son of William, Earl of Devon, by Katherine, youngest daughter of King Edward the Fourth, and was consequently first cousin to Henry, a relationship which placed him much too near to the crown to be compatible with his safety; and, in 1538, he was suspected of high treason. Suspicion was then equivalent to guilt, and the Marquess was beheaded on Tower Hill, on the 9th of January 1539. "Of all victims of the jealous tyrant," the elegant Gibbon justly remarks, "the Marquess of Exeter is one of the most noble and guiltless." The entries in these accounts throw no light upon his character, nor are they of much interest, for they consist merely of rewards to his servants, or bringing presents of hounds to the King.

Exhibition of scholars at Oxford, for the, 125.

---- of scholars, 90, 125, 231.

For some remarks on this subject, see under Scholars, infra.

Eyred, for bringing a hawk that was, 60.

"To eyre," in falconry, is to build or rather to brood; hence we must infer that this entry related to a hawk that had been hatched at Elmley.

Falcons, for taking up, 20, 24, 187.

----, paid for, 9, 10, 92.

These items afford much information on the value of falcons at the period. Two falcons and a goshawk cost 3l. Five falcons and a tarsell were worth 8l. and five falcons 7l. 6s. 8d.; so that the value of a tarsell was about 13s. 4d.

---- brought, 87, 184, 198.

Falconer, paid to a, 129.

---- to, for their coats, 142.

----, and hawks given by the King of France, for the expences of the, 275, 279.

Falcons and hawks appear to have been the most frequent, as well as most valued presents, from one prince to another. These accounts present two instances of the kind, the one of the payment of 23l. 6s. 8d. to the bearer of a cast of falcons from the Duke of Ferrara, and the other of a gift of several to Henry, from Francis the First, at Calais. Upon that occasion falconers seem also to have been transferred to Henry's service; for we find a payment of 2l. 2s. 8d. for their exences, (p. 275) whilst some idea may be formed of the number of birds given to Henry from the item of 2l. 18s. 10d. for the expences of them for one month only. "The best falconers were Flemings, and even those who have attended hawks in England, until a late period, were procured from a particular district of Flanders."—M.

Farm at Greenwich purchased for Lady Ann Rochford, 113.

This entry is more fully noticed at the commencement of the volume, when speaking of Anne Boleyn, to whom it related.

Farnham, to the keeper of the place of, 151.

---- Park, to the keepers of,

Fees of the yeomen of the bows and of the Leshe, 75, 163.

Felon, paid for bringing up a, 46.

The only thing remarkable in this entry is, that such payments should be made out of the king's[Pg 319] privy purse, or if that was the source of such disbursements that there should be so very few entries of the kind in as many years.—See Prisoner and Traitor.

Feneux Lord, to the keeper of his house, 273.

It is almost certain from this item that Henry lodged at Lord Feneux's house when at Canterbury. From the title of "Lord" being applied to him, it would appear that it was the house of Sir John Feneux, who was lord chief justice of England from 1496 to 1526.

Fenwolf Morgan, jeweller, 7, 8.

"Probably a Welshman; his name would be written Phenwolf, i. e. Wolf's-head."—M.

Ferman George, of Waltham, 74.

Ferrara Duke of, 198.

Ferrers Lord, 62, 64, 86, 144, 145, 232, 240.

Walter Devereux, seventh Lord Ferrers of Chartley, K.G. He succeeded his father in that dignity about 1497; in February 1550 he was raised to the dignity of Viscount Hereford, and died in 1558. All the entries respecting this nobleman refer to presents of dogs, &c. sent to the king, excepting one, when his servant had seized and brought up a traitor.

Fished, to men that fished before the king, 29.

Fishing for, 68.

It has been already remarked under "Angling," that Henry seems to have been fond of fishing, but those notices perhaps refer to drawing nets.

---- the, paid for his lodging and expences at Calais, 271.

----'s expences, paid the, at Canterbury, 274.

The subject of "Fools" has been so ably discussed by Mr. Douce in his Illustrations of Shakespeare, that it is unnecessary to say more on it here than what the entries in these accounts suggest. The only names of Henry's fools which have reached us are, William Somers, Sexton, and Williams. Sexton is however the only one of them who is mentioned in these pages, unless the others were described under the names of "Great and Little Guilliam[Pg 320] of the Privy Chamber," of whom there are numerous entries, though the honourable addition of "the King's Fool," never once occurs to their names. Those to whom that appellation is given are "Patch and Sexton," and the manner in which they are spoken of is strongly corroborative of Mr. Douce's opinion, that "Patch" was another designation for "a Fool." In one page (86,) we find "Patch the King's Fool" and Sexton both noticed. But this by no means contradicts the idea that they were names for the same individual. Sexton, Mr. Douce says, was presented to Henry by Cardinal Wolsey, and the anecdote related by Cavendish of his having given another Fool, who, it has been observed, was called Williams, to the king after his disgrace, and the poor wretch's attachment to his master is well known. It is manifest from these accounts that the Fool had a man to wait upon him; for we find John Emyson frequently noticed as "the man that waits or attends upon Sexton," "the keeper of the King's Fool," "Sexton's man," and in others, "Sexton's servant." All payments for the fool's food, travelling expences, &c., for it seems he accompanied Henry wherever he went, were made to his servant or keeper, whose wages were ijd. a day, (p. 45,) or about 3l. per annum (p. 193,) and he was allowed, like the falconers and huntsmen, 22s. 6d. for his livery. Emyson appears however either to have died or to have been dismissed from his occupation before August 1532, for in that month, as well as in the October following, Green is described to have been Sexton's servant, but Skynner evidently attended him on his journey to Calais with Henry, in November in that year, and who is also mentioned as waiting upon him as early as September 1530, though Emyson was his keeper in December, 1529. It is remarkable that every entry relating to the Fool should be for his clothes, food, or other personal expences, and that he should never once have received a gratuity or "reward," of which there are so many examples to others. It has been conjectured that the witty sallies of these degraded creatures were frequently rewarded by handsome presents, but no proof of the fact in relation to Sexton occurs. Besides Emyson we find "Thomas the Jester" sometimes mentioned, who seems to have been more fortunate than "the Fool," for he received 20s. on one occasion, and 22s. 6d. on another, "in reward;" whilst Henry gave the French king's jester at Calais the large sum of 9l. 6s. 8d. on the day the King of Navarre, the Cardinal of Lorrain, &c. dined with him. According to the ordinances of the Royal Household made at Eltham, in the 17th Henry VIII. the king's Fool was allowed one hackney.

This singular entry must be left to the reader's superior sagacity. It clearly refers in some way to the "riding boys," or as they are there called, "children of the stable," but its meaning has escaped the editor's research.

France King of, notices about his children, 59, bis.

Francis the first, king of France, his wife and children, were taken prisoners by the emperor at the siege of Pavia in 1525. The queen and the children remained in his hands until 1529, when it was agreed by the treaty of Cambray that they should be delivered to Francis on the payment of two millions of crowns. The money was soon raised, and Hall gives us a circumstantial account of the execution of the treaty, from which it appears that the Spanish commissioners met the Great Master of France at Bayonne, in March 1530, but the former objected to part of the coin on account of the weight, and therefore removed the children from Fountroby into Spain. The affair being thus delayed from March until June, Henry sent Sir Francis Bryan to pledge himself as security for the payment, and on the 1st of July queen Eleanor and the children were placed in the Great Master's hands. In July, Hall adds, "fyers were made in London and divers other places for the same consideracion and cause;" and it is worthy of remark, as a curious example of the change in the national policy, that precisely the same rejoicings took place when they fell into the emperor's power after the battle of Pavia a few years before. Hall, pp. 693, 772. From these accounts we learn that news of the event reached London on the 8th of July, 1530, by a Frenchman dispatched from the Great Master, and that on the 9th another messenger, probably from Sir Francis Bryan, arrived with similar information. Each of them received the same sum for their journey, namely, 23l. 6s. 8d.

Frieze, coats of, 87.

"The materials of which the clothes of persons of rank were composed about this time consisted of velvet, satin, sarcenet, gold lace, and fur."—See Whitaker's Craven, 325. From the well known lines written on the marriage of Charles Brandon with the Queen Dowager of France,

To Mary:

Cloth of gold do not despise,
To match thyself to cloth of frise.

To Charles:

Cloth of frise be not too bold,
Though, thou art match to cloth of gold.

"we might presume that frieze rarely formed the dress of persons of rank, but Jamieson in voce (Supplement) quotes from an Inventory of 1539, 'Ane goone of freis claith of gold.' In the following century frieze was more generally adopted. Fuller speaks of it as a coarse kind of cloth, manufactured in Wales, 'then which none warmer to be worn in winter, and the finest sort thereof very fashionable and gentile. Prince Henry had a frieze sute out of it,' &c. He adds, 'It will daily grow more into use, especially since the gentry of the land, being generally much impoverished,[Pg 322] abate much of their gallantry.' Worthies, 553."—M.

Every entry relating to money lost at any kind of game is referred to under this head, in order that there might be one complete reference on the subject. As they are fully noticed at the commencement of the volume, any remarks here would be superfluous.

Gere, paid for, for the children of the stable, 182.

Gere for Sexton the fool, for, 205, 215.

----, for making, 270.

As in three out of the four instances in which this word is used it evidently referred to fantastic dresses or the appendages to them, it may be inferred that the children of the stable were ludicrously habited, and which is the more probable if the conjecture which has been hazarded be correct, that they were employed in riding racing horses. Gere was, however, sometimes used for the ornamental parts of dress, for Louis XII. king of France, is described in a letter from the Earl of Worcester in 1514, as "devysing new collers and goodly gere for" the queen his bride.—Ellis's Original Letters, second Series, vol. i. p. 236. Mr. Markland observes "this word, per se, meant clothing simply. From the days of Spenser to those of Swift, when magnificence or ornament is implied, the word is accompanied with some epithet; thus 'gorgeous gear' in the former, and 'glittering birth-day gear' in the latter. See Masking." Shakspeare, however, uses the word in the sense which it is supposed to be employed in the text:

"Let us complain to them what fools were here
Disguis'd like Muscovites, in shapeless gear."

Love's Labour Lost, A. 5. Sc. 2.

Chaucer uses Gere for articles of any kind, but in one instance he applies it to articles of dress:

"And for that nothing of her olde gere
She shulde bring into his hous, he bad
That woman should despoilen her right there
Of which these ladies weren nothing glad
To handle hire clothes wherin she was clad."

These girdles were undoubtedly a splendid part of dress, and were in some cases proportionably expensive. Several notices of Girdles occur on the Rolls of Parliament, and in the Testamenta Vetusta. Among the expenses of Peter Martyr in 1547 was, "for riband for a gyrdel 1s. 2d." Archæologia, vol. xxi. p. 472.

In the bill of the expenses of Ochin and Martyr in 1547, Gloves are frequently mentioned; for "a Hatt and Glovys for Bernardinus at Basell, 9s. 3d." "for a pair of furryd Glovys for P. Marter, 13s." and at London, "for two payer of Glovys for them, 15s."—Archæologia, v. xxi. p. 472.

Gresham Richard, mercer of London, 7, 116, 261.

[Pg 325]

Father of the celebrated Sir Thomas Gresham, the founder of the Royal Exchange, and, whom Mr. Lodge happily terms, "the great patriarch of commerce and of commercial finance." This Richard Gresham was a mercer in London, and, according to the same elegant writer, was "agent for the crown with the trading interest, or, as it was called, king's merchant, an office of the highest importance and trust, inasmuch as it united the duty of raising money for the royal occasions by private loans, with that of protecting and cherishing the sources from which they were derived." He was knighted, and became Mayor of London in 1537, and died in 1548. See also Ward's Gresham Professors.

Greyhounds brought to the king, 19, 65, 70, 148, 161, 223, 236, 242, 245, 247, 256, 257, 275.

Apparently the father-in-law of John, afterwards Duke of Northumberland. He was Marshal of Calais, Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, and Master of the Ordnance, and married Eleanor, sister and co-heiress of Thomas West, Lord de La Warr, and who was probably the lady referred to in the next article.

Of these two individuals little, or rather nothing is known, beyond the fact established by these accounts, namely, that they were entirely supported at the king's expence; hence it may be inferred that they were favourite servants, or "diverting vagabonds," to the king, perhaps a character a shade more respectable than his jester and fool. See, however some conjectures about the two Guilliams under Fool, ante.

Hasilrigg Robert, 92.

Hastings and Rye, for a plat of, 91.

As every entry relating to the fine arts is of peculiar interest, this is deserving attention; though from the word "plat" it would appear, that it was a plan rather than a painting. The sum paid for it to Vincent, the king's painter, was 3l. 10s. See Plat.

Hat, paid for a, 60, 268.

Havering, 170.

---- Park, to the keeper of, 170.

Hawe Christopher, 208. See Hawte.

Hawks, the king's, 15.

----, paid for "lying out to take," 157.

----'s hoods and hawk's gloves for, 159.

These numerous items of money for hawks' meat are more fully noticed at the commencement of the volume.

----, paid for taking up a, 256.

Hawks brought from the King of France, 269;

the expences of them, 275, 279.

---- to the Mew, 37.

The Mew was a close place in which hawks were confined whilst moulting. "The Mews at Charing Cross were so called because Henry the Eighth used them for his hawks on those occasions."—M.

Hawkyn, a falconer, 5, 31, 95, 140, 163, 181, 222, 236, 253, 287, 289.

Hawte Christopher, a falconer, 198, 216, 236, 287.

Hawys John, 47.

Hayes Cornelius, Goldsmith, 10, 134, 138, 156, 170, 179, 184, 188, 192.

Hay, paid for, 17, 86, 189, 213.

Healed, to the people that the king, 156, 160, 161, 163, 164, 170, 203, 213, 217, 221, 225, 243, 249, 253, 264, 272, 278.

These entries were of payments made to persons whom the king touched for the evil. It appears that they uniformly received 7s. 6d. each; a gratuity which at that period, and to poor persons, was very considerable. It tends also in a great measure to account for the prevalence of the custom; for a more convenient superstition could scarcely be devised.

Heath Cock, for a, 103.

Hedge and a ditch, for making a, 194.

Henawd [i. e. Henault] Park, to the keeper of, 170.

Henley Park, keeper of, 63.

Henchmen, for the rent of a house for the, 79, 125, 182, 209, 230, 265.

No word has been more commented upon than "Henchmen," or Henxmen. Without entering into the controversy it may be sufficient to state, that in the reign of Henry the Eighth it meant the pages of honor. They were the sons of gentlemen, and in public processions[Pg 328] always walked near the monarch's horse: a correct idea may be formed of their appearance from the representation of them in one of the pictures in the meeting room of the Society of Antiquarians. It seems from these entries that they lodged in the house of Johnson, the master of the king's barge, and that the rent of it was 40s. per annum. Observations on the word will be found in Spelman's Etymol:, Pegge's Curiala, from the Liber Niger Edw. IV., Lodge's Illustrations, vol. i. p. 359, the Northumberland Household Book, Blount's Glossary.

Henchmen, to the yeoman of the, 209.

Hennage Sir Thomas, 8, bis, 25, 26, 29, bis, 43, sæpe, 50, 58, 66, 75, 79, 87, bis, 89, bis, 120, 141, 144, 148, 157, bis, 165, 172, 187, 195, 196, 219, 249, 254, 255.

One of the gentlemen of the privy chamber, and apparently the same individual, who was afterwards vice-chamberlain and chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster to Queen Elizabeth. His only child Elizabeth, who married Sir Moyle Finchard, was created Countess of Winchelsea, by Charles the First.

Henyngham George, 88, 132, 209, 235.

He was evidently attached in some way to the stables, as these items are of payments of money to him for horses, or provender for them.

Hens, to the purveyor of, 109, 119, 129.

---- brought, 103, 178, 194.

Hen taker, James Parker, the, 15, 25, 28, 33, 37, 41, 42, 56, 80, 92, 142, 168, 199, 226, 258, 282, 285, 287.

The hen taker and the Purveyor of Hens was probably the same person. His wages to which all these entries refer, were it seems 9l. per annum.

Herbs brought, 4, 36, 39, bis, 44, 45, ter, 50, 56, 57, 59, 72, 87, 96, 124, 130, 200, 209.

Heremyte, [i. e. Hermit] to a, 42.

Herons, for finding, 28.

Hertford, 24.

Hide, for a bare hide to cover the king's barge, 182.

Hind a, brought, 189.

"Hinging" over the gate, paid for the, 8.

Hingings to a merchant, for hangings and other merchandize, 243.

Apparently from the price, hangings of silk or rich stuff. A perfect idea of the richness and splendour of hangings at that period, may be formed from the description of those in the palaces of Henry the Eighth, in the Harleian MS. 1419, A. & B.; whilst of those used in the early part of the fifteenth century, a full account is given in the list of Henry the Fifth's effects on the Rolls of Parliament, vol. iv.

Hobart James, 71, 80, 92, 109, 117, 141, 152, 172, 181, 193, 203, 258, 279.

It does not appear who this individual was, but as every entry relating to him is of a payment for bringing marmelade, dates, sweet oranges, lemons, and "other pleasures," it may be inferred that he was a kind of pastry-cook.

Hobby, a dun, for meat for, 131.

----, for a, 119.

Hobbies brought, 28, 104, 224.

Hogsheads of wine, 98, 99.

Holand John, 218.

Hollys William, alderman of London, 170.

Afterwards Sir William Hollis. His will is printed in the Testamenta Vetusta, whence it appears that he died in 1542. He was Lord Mayor of London in 1539.

[Pg 329]

----, paid for, 88, 128, 139, 180, 250, 257.

"We cannot gather the prices of Horses from these accounts as often as it is desirable. Gilbert Talbot, afterwards Earl of Shrewsbury, in 1578, offers 33l. for two Fryseland Horses."—Lodge's Illustrations, ii, 171. "There was particular attention paid in this reign, as appears by several laws, to promote the breed of large and strong horses. Mr. Barrington on Statutes (p. 499) conjectures that Tournaments and other magnificent Pageantries being in vogue in the early part of this reign might have prompted these measures. Certainly the strength of the Horses would contribute to render Tournaments more safe to those engaged in them as well as heighten the general effect of the scene." M.

Notices of the value of Horses towards the end of the reign of Edward the First, will be found on the Rolls of Parliament, Vol. i. p. 228, 245; and in the Liber Quotidianus Contrarotulatoris Garderolæ, of the 28th Edw. I. sparsim. but particularly p. 77 et seq. They appear to have varied in price from one to ten pounds, and are minutely described both as to their colours and the purposes for which they were destined. Henry the Fifth's chariot horses, "Chivalx de Charrettz," were sold for 95l. 14s. 10d. Rot. Parl. vol. iii. p. 237. By statute 11 Hen. VII. chap. xiii. it was prohibited to export Mares or Horses beyond the sea. We find from these payments that on one occasion 37l., and on another 53l. were paid for horses; and that 7l. 10s. 3l. 6s. 8d. and 6l. 13s. 4d., were given at different times, for the purchase of a horse. In 1547 two of the horses which brought Bernardinus Ochin and Peter Martyr from Basell, were sold in Smithfield for 4l. 13s. 6d. Archæologia, vol. xxi. p. 473.

----, for the rent of a, at Greenwich, for Lord Rochford, 128.

House, to the keeper of that in which the king slept at Canterbury, 266.

Howsell, for, 38, 40, 41.

The only explanation given of "Housel" in the usual Dictionaries and Glossaries, "the Eucharist," could not possibly apply to either of the instances in which it is used in these accounts. It was evidently a payment made to the king's favourite minions, the Jester and the two Williamses, but the precise meaning of the word has not been ascertained.

---- to the, for their expenses going into Sussex, 232.

Hurlow Henry, 184.

Hurt Sir John, 49, 50, bis, 115, bis, 209.

From the appellation "Sir," being attributed, and the notice of a gown having been given to this individual, it would seem that he was a Priest; but this conjecture cannot be reconciled with his having been paid 22s. 6d. for his livery coat, nor, perhaps, with the frequent bets won by him at shooting. In one instance too "his fellowes" are spoken of. It is, however, certain, that he was one of Henry's numerous minions, in whose society he forgot the cares and dignity of a sovereign.

Hussey Lord, his child christened, 117.

John Lord Hussey of Sleford. He was beheaded in June, 1537, for being concerned in the insurrection in Lincolnshire. Lord Hussey left several children, one of whom appears to have been born in March, 1531, and to whom the king was very probably a sponsor.

----, for the redemption of a, 88.

This item admits of an inference which would establish a curious fact in the lives of Anne Boleyn and her sister Mary, namely, that the former had pawned a jewel to the latter, for the redemption of which 20l. was paid by the king's orders.

Jewellery, for, 4, bis, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 16, 21, 82, 88, 90, 91, 97, 99, bis, 103, 106, 138, 139, 155, 156, 157, 169, 170, 179, 185, ter, 193, 195, 210, 218, 220, 236, 257, bis, 261, 268, 270, ter, 271, 280.

Of this game nothing is known, and perhaps these entries are the earliest, if not the only instances in which it is alluded to.

Instruments brought to the king, 26, 210.

Clearly musical instruments. Henry's attachment, and indeed proficiency in music, has been established by a note to Mr. Ellis's valuable Original Letters, Second Series, vol. i. p. 271, 272, where an account of His Majesty's musical instruments from the Harl. MS, 1419, A. is printed, and which are satisfactorily explained by that eminent music master, Mr. Ayrton.

---- Anthony, 226, 229.

Probably the individual whom Boswell, in his Lives of the Knights of the Garter**, confounds with Sir William Kingston, and who was provost martial to the forces sent to quell the rebellion in Cornwall in 1547. See some remarks relative to the error in question in the Testamenta Vetusta, p. 693, and in Lodge's Illustrations of British History, vol. i. p. 16. Note.

One of the Gentlemen of the Privy Chamber, and evidently a particular favourite of the King's.

---- William, 5, 40, 127, 206, 241, 261, 281.

Probably the individual who is described in an inscription in Stepney Church as a Gentleman of the Privy Chamber, and as having married Avise, the widow of Nicholas Gibson. See Weever's Funeral Monuments, 4to, p. 309. He enjoyed an annuity from the king of 20l.

Knives, for, 51, 174.

----, and sheathes of velvet, with girdles to them, 161.

Knives, paid for girdles and a chape for, 168.

Knives were worn at a very early period. In the 6 Edw. III. John Lord Grey of Rotherfeild, is stated to have been committed to prison for drawing his knife partly out of its sheath on William Lord Zouch, of Ashby. Rot. Parl. vol. ii. p. 656. Long knives, or other suspicious arms, were forbidden to be worn in the city of London or Westminster in 1351 during the sitting of Parliaments Ibid. p. 235.a In 1363 the knives of trades-people and artificers were prohibited from being adorned with gold or silver, or precious stones. Ibid, p 278,b 281,b and in the 3 Edw. IV. knives were forbidden from being imported, Ibid. vol. 5, p. 507. Thomas Earl of Warwick, in 1400, speaks of knives for the King's coronation in his will; and Chaucer's allusion to the Sheffield whittle is well known,

"A Shefeld thwitel bare he in his hose."

Among the expenses of Ochin and Martyr, in 1547, before cited, is a payment of 2s. 8d. for "two payer of Tunbridge knives." The knife was placed in the girdle.

Larenno Cardinal de, 264.

----, money lost to him at dice and tennis, 268, bis.

----, to his singers, 269.

The Cardinal of Lorrain. Tennis and dice seem almost as unsuitable to a Cardinal as a band of singers. On the 28th of October, 1532, when Henry ordered 9l. 6s. 8d. to be given to the French king's jester, and 4l. 13s. 4d. to the Cardinal's singers, Hall states that the king of Navarre, the Cardinal of Lorrain, and the Great Master and Admiral of France, dined with Henry at Calais; and these payments were evidently made for the amusement which they had afforded the party.

Large John, 90.

Last, and a line, for a, 48.

Query, if not a mistake of the writer for mast and a line. See Mast.

Laten, a desk garnished with, 123.

Laten, or Latton, was, Mr. Todd informs us, a mixed kind of metal, made of copper and calamine, said by some to be the old orichalc. The meaning of the word has, however, puzzled our best antiquaries. Mr. Douce says it is always used for brass, whilst Dr. Meyrick thinks it was copper gilt. See some Observations on the subject in a Note to the Archæologia, vol. xxi. pp. 261, 2. In the 3 Edw. IV. it was prohibited to import "Harneys for gurdels, of iron, of laton, of stele, of tyn, or of alkamyn." Rot. Parl. vol. v. p. 507,a whilst in the 3 Hen. IV. Girdlers were prohibited from garnishing girdles with stones or metal "q' de laton, baterie, feer, et asser." Ibid. vol. iv. p. 73. In the 2 Hen. VI. the Commons complained that people had made "diverse workes of brauderie of unsuffisaunt stuff, and undwely wrought, as well upon velowet, and cloth of gold, as upon all other clothes of silk wrought with gold or silver of Cipre, and gold of Luk, or Spanyssh laton." Ibid. p. 255.a On the Rolls of the 12 and 13 Edw. IV. we find "Basons conterfete of Latyn, and two other basons of laten" spoken of. Ibid. vol. vi. p. 37. Fabian, by his Will in 1511, ordered that a stone of marble should be laid on his grave, "about the borders whereof I will be fastened a plate of laton, within that plate graven thies words," &c. and Lady Mauley, in 1438, bequeathed xx marks "for a marble stone with her portraiture thereon in copper or latten gilt." In the agreement for the tomb of the Earl of Warwick in the 28 Hen. VI. it is covenanted that certain parts shall be made of the finest latten, and to be gilded, and which latten was to cost xd. per pound.—Dugdale's Warwick. It was used for crosses, candlesticks, plates for tombs, effigies, basons, &c. Testamenta Vetusta, pp. 148, 235, 261, 268, 510, 511, 610, 713. From these extracts it is almost certain that Latten, or Laton, was neither iron, steel, tin, alkamain, or baterie, but the conjectures of Dr. Meyrick, Mr. Douce, and Mr. Todd, remain uncontradicted. The metal itself still exists on the tomb of the Earl of Warwick just mentioned, hence there are means of settling the question.

Latimer Master, his expences in coming from and returning to Cambridge, 73.

----, for preaching before the king, 30.

These entries are of much interest. The first has been before noticed under Cambridge, and it is only requisite, in illustration of the latter, to observe, that it is evident this distinguished martyr preached before Henry on the second Sunday in Lent, namely the 13th March, 1530, and was rewarded with 5l. a sufficient proof that the king was pleased with his doctrines. "His crosier is still preserved in St. John's College, Oxford."—M.

Latronel, a jeweller, 270.

----, for keeping a, called "Cutte," 288.

Launder, that washes the children of the privy chamber, 75, 112.

A Laundress.

----, to the, 165, 234.

Some curious particulars relative to the King's Laundress occur in the Ordinances of the Household in the 17 Hen. VIII. p. 215, who was, it appears, then called Ann Harris. Her wages were originally 10l. per annum, but she obtained an addition of 6l. 13s. 4d. more on one occasion, and on another, 66s. so that she ultimately was paid 20l. per annum. She was bound to provide "as much sweet powder, sweet herbes, and other sweet thinges as shall be necessary to be occupied for the sweet keeping" of the articles entrusted to her; and it was expressly stated that she was to find wood and soap and every thing else out of her wages. Two "standard chests" were, however, delivered to her, "the one to keep the cleane stuff, and the other to keep the stuff that hath been occupied."

Lawson Sir George, 14, 104, 282.

Layton Doctor, 63, 89, 105.

Probably Richard Layton, who became Dean of York in January, 1539, and died in 1544. His journey to Oxford in January, 1531, doubtlessly related to the king's divorce.

Lee Lawrence, keeper of the Hounds, 81, 92, 95, 99, 106, 112, 115, 125, 126, 134, 137, 139.

Letters brought to the king, 26, 28, 235.

----, two packets of, paid for bringing from Venice, 92.

Letter, one, brought in a purse by a monk, 239.

This is a curious entry, and may be explained by considering that it was deemed the most respectful, and perhaps the safest, manner of conveying a letter.

Lettuze, [Lettuce,] brought, 58, 169, 218, 220, 256.

Lewers of crimson velvet, 159.

Hawk's lewers; they appear to have cost 14s. each.

The woman who kept the inn with the sign of the Lion at Sittingbourne, at which Henry seems to have stopped on the 19th Nov. 1532, on his return to Greenwich from Calais.

Lisle Lord, 112, 166, 271.

It is very difficult to say who was the personage to whom this title is here attributed, but most probably Arthur Plantagenet, natural son of King Edward IV. though the patent creating him Viscount Lisle was not dated until the 26th April, 1533.

Liveries, badges on, 16.

----, for, 8, 12, 15, 30, 31, 38, 39, 41, bis, 49, 53, 70, 71, 81, 101, 115, sæpe, 120, 179, 187, 201, 203, 205, 208, 209, 214, 217, 226.

----, paid the smith that carries the locks about with the king, 238, 244, 281.

---- Thomas, 38, 287.

Longe, Master, 9, 162, 163, 275, 279.

Sir Richard Long, Knt. An account of him will be found in Mr. Gage's History and Antiquities of Hengrave, p. 119, from which it appears that he was a Gentleman of the Privy Chamber, Master of the buckhounds and hawks, High Steward or Keeper of several of the royal demesnes, and Captain of Guernsey. He was seated at Shengay and Hardwicke in Cambridgeshire, and married Margaret, only child of John Donnington, of Stoke Newington in Middlesex, and widow of Sir Thomas Kytson of Hengrave, who died in 1540, by whom he had a son, Henry, born 31 March, 1544, afterwards knighted, and to whom King Henry VIII. and the Duke of Norfolk were sponsors, and three daughters. Sir Richard Long died in October, 1544, and an abstract of his will is given in that admirable work. His widow married to her third husband John Bourchier, Earl of Bath, and died 12 January, 1561, æt. 52. Elizabeth, the daughter and heiress of Sir Henry Long, his son, married William Lord Russell, of Thornhaugh.

Malte John, 222, sæpe, 223.

Mancyon Andrew, 226.

Mantway, Marquess of, 280.

[Pg 336]

Apparently Frederick II. Duke of Mantua, who died in 1540. He sent Henry a present of mares in December, 1532, and whose servant received 46l. 13s. 4d. "in reward" for bringing them.

Mares brought, 280.

Mariner, to a, 274.

Marion, the blade smith, or cutler, 108, bis, 190.

Mark, of the Privy Chamber, 11, 14, 18, 38, 40, 44, 53, bis, 61, 73, 75, 78, 84, 86, 98, 100, 121, 124, 126, 138, 139, 153, 165, 170, 173, 183, 197, bis, 200, 206, 219, bis, 237, bis, 259, 261, 262, 264, 265, 281.

This person, who, it is manifest, was wholly supported at the king's expense, and who, it may be consequently inferred, was one of his favourite minions, was the notorious Mark Smeton, a musician, who was accused of criminal familiarity with Anne Boleyn, and upon whose cowardly perjury, chiefly, that victim was condemned. The best account of him is that given by Cavendish:

"My father a carpenter, and laboured with his hand
With the swett of his face he purchast his lyvyng
For small was his rent, much lesse was his land;
My mother in a cottage used dayly spynnyng
Loo in what mysery was my begynnyng
Till that gentle prynce, kyng of this realme
Toke me de stercore et origens pauperem
And beyng but a boy clame upp the hygh stage
That bred was of naught, and brought to felicite
Knew not myself, waxt proud in my corage
Dysdayned my father, and wold not him see,
Wherfore nowe Fortune by hir mutabilitie
Hathe made so cruelly hir power for to stretch
For my presumption, to dye like a wretch."

As his conduct was as dastardly as his birth was mean, he was put in irons when arrested, and afterwards hanged, whilst the other prisoners were beheaded.

Marmalade brought, 109, 117, 172, 224.

Marriages, paid to persons towards their, 17, 23, 27, 131, 134, 138, 143, 208, 209, 218, 251, 277.

Marshal of the King's Hall, to the, 191.

Mary Guylford, the king's ship, 18.

This vessel was built in 1524, and was one hundred and forty tons burthen. In November, 1526, she was at Bourdeaux.—Ellis's Original Letters, Second Series, v. i. pp. 219, 220.

Mary, Princess, the, 13, 55, 70, 98, 127, 146, bis, 148, 162, 183, 202, bis, 221, 262, 281.

----, to a physician for attending her, 146, 202.

Mary, the king's eldest daughter, afterwards queen of England. She was born on the 8th February, 1515, and was consequently about fifteen when she is first mentioned in these accounts. They chiefly refer to sums paid her for pocket money, which never exceeded 20l. at one time, or was less than 10l. Upon one occasion 10l. was given her to be distributed in charity. The only new facts connected with her life which they present are, that her royal Highness was ill in June or July, 1531, and apparently again in March, 1532.

Masking, gere for, 270.

Money paid for masquerade dresses when the king was at Calais in November, 1532.

Mason Richard, 24.

----, John, the king's scholar at Paris, 8, 71, 119, 190, 263.

Afterwards Sir John Mason, a Privy Councillor to Henry VIII. Edward VI. and Queen Elizabeth, and Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster. Having displayed much talent in Henry's presence, he was, at the suggestion of Sir Thomas[Pg 337] More, sent to the university of Paris.—See Biog. Britann. Art. "Mason."

Mass Books, for, 24.

Massy, paid to him that appeched, [i. e. impeached,] 69.

An entry of 10s. given to an informer.

Mast and a line, for a, 55, 59, 96.

----, paid to the watermen for a, 140.

A mast and ropes for the boat, but the different prices paid for them are curious; on one occasion 4s.; on another 3s. 6d.; and on a third only 1s. 8d.

Master, Great, to the, 59, 268.

The first entry referred to Ann de Montmorency great master of the king of France's children, but whether the second related to him or to the Great Master of Henry's Household is not certain, but most probably to the latter.

Mastiffs, the king's, 7.

----, given to the king, 36, 251.

---- collars and muzzles for, 186.

Matches, money paid for two, lost by the king, 115.

The person who made the king's arms.

The annual expense of "Medsons and drinks" for horses is calculated in the Ordinances of the Household, in the 17th Hen. VIII. at 10l.

Melons brought, 264.

Mercer, to a, for his bill, 128, 144, 188, 189, 261, bis.

Michell, a Smith, 147.

---- ——, one of the king's guard, 269, 274.

Midwife, paid to a, 22, 197.

Probably money paid to a midwife when the king was Sponsor to the child.

Mighen Peter, 18.

Milan bonnets, for, 173, 208.

Miles Thomas, 123.

Milloner, to the, 33, 99, 129, 151, 164, 173, 174, 177, 185, 187, 193, 199, 208, 213, 262.

A milloner of the sixteenth, was evidently a different sort of tradesman from the milliner of the nineteenth century, for besides caps, bonnets, and gloves, he then sold knives, sheaths, girdles, jewels, &c.

Mines, the king's at Lantrissen in Glamorganshire, money to be expended on, 69.

That Henry interested himself in mining, is, the Editor presumes, a new fact in his character. From this item we learn that he worked a mine at Lantrissen in Wales, and ordered on one occasion that 23l. 16s. 6d. should be expended on it; and on another he caused 40s. to be given to a miner. "All mines containing gold or silver were styled 'mines royal.' Of the latter the richest in Wales are in Cardiganshire. These were leased by James I. to Sir Hugh Middleton, and the profits enabled him to bring the New River from Ware to London; and by Charles I. to Mr. Bushel, who had been in the service of Sir Walter Raleigh; and from this source of wealth he raised and clothed a regiment for the king. The Cardiganshire mines, or perhaps its richest one, called Cwm Symlog, which yields 100 oz. of silver to the ton of lead, may be alluded to in the text."—M.

Miner, to a, 43.

Minstrells, to, 12, 14, 15, 28, 33, 55, 64, 70, 83, 128, 134, 170, 190, 205, 252, 266.

[Pg 338]

Numerous as the entries relating to minstrels are, no additional information is afforded to what is contained in Dr. Percy's elaborate essay, though they frequently corroborate the statements therein. The frequency of these payments tend, however, to establish Henry's attachment to music. In the Ordinances of the Royal Household made at Eltham in the 17 Hen. VIII. we find that Hugh Woodhouse, the "Serjeant of the Mynstrills," had an annual fee of 10l. 16s. 10½d.

Mistelden, [i. e. Misselden] Abbot of, 237.

Molyn Jerome, 92.

Mynion, the King's ship, 18.

In the list of Henry's navy, written on the 22nd October, 1525, and printed in Mr. Ellis's Second Series of Original Letters, vol. i. pp. 219, 220, the Minion is described to be "off the tonnege of CLX tonne, and all newe." She was at Bourdeaux in November, 1526.

Nelson John, 72.

Nets, paid for mending the King's, 70.

----, paid for carrying the King's, 139, 177, 214, 257.

Probably, Fishing Nets, which it seems were always carried with the king in his progresses; and hence it may be inferred that His Majesty was fond of the amusement.

Nevill Sir John, 167, 267.

Apparently the individual who served in the vanguard at the battle of Spurs. See Lodge's Illustrations, vol. i. p. 2.

---- Sir Edward, 272.

Younger brother of George Nevill, Lord Abergaveny, and ancestor of the present Earl. Sir Edward was distinguished for his knightly accomplishments, and was for many years honoured with Henry's favour; but being suspected of a design to advance Reginald Pole to the crown, he was accused and tried, and beheaded at Tower Hill on the 9th November, 1538. Cavendish informs us that he was "a comely knight, of a goodly personage."

[Pg 339]

Probably one of the sons of Sir Edward.

Nicholas, Friar, 23.

The annual fee of the astronomer to Queen Elizabeth was 20l.

Nicholas Doctor, a physician, 192.

He attended Wolsey in his last illness. See Cavendish, vol. i., p. 311.

Night-Caps, 23, 31, 218.

Night-Gown, for Lady Ann Boleyn, 223.

The minute way in which the materials for Lady Ann's night-gown are mentioned, cannot fail to excite a smile, even if it does not shock our modern ideas of delicacy. The whole expenses of it seem to have been 10l. 15s. 8d.

Nightingales brought, 235.

Nods George, a huntsman, 68.

Norfolk Duke of, 32, bis, 33, 41, 63, bis, 76, 107, 150, 156, 158, 168, 169, bis, 180, 212, 250, 264, 267, 268, 283.

Thomas Howard, third Duke of Norfolk, K. G. He was Lord Treasurer, to which office nearly all these entries relate.

Norman, jeweller of Paris, 9.

Norris Master, 30, 175, 224, bis, 275.

Sir Henry Norris, gentleman of the Privy Chamber and Esquire of the body. His career is so well known that it is only necessary to remind the reader that he was suspected of a criminal intercourse with Ann Boleyn, and was consequently condemned and beheaded.

Northampton, 71.

----, Mayor of, 160.

Northern man, paid to a, 206, bis.

Northumberland Earl of, 18, 109.

Henry Algernon Percy, K. G: sixth Earl of Northumberland. He succeeded to that title in 1527, and was the individual who is supposed to have been attached to Ann Boleyn before her marriage. He was beheaded in 1553.

Norton Wood, to the Keeper of, 161.

Nowell, the King's minstrel, 64, 83, 205, 266.

Nuns of Canterbury, 22.

Nurse, paid to a, 22, 197. See Midwife.

---- to the Duke of Richmond's, 41.

Nuts given the king, 160.

As the Duke of Richmond was at this time twelve years old, it would seem that this gratuity was given to the woman who had nursed him in his infancy, rather than to the servant who had then the care of him.

Oars paid for, 6, 7, 262.

These entries shew the price of Oars, which it seems were sold for 1s. 6d. each.

----, boat with sixteen, 45.

Oats, paid for, 86, 189, 213.

Odal Thomas, 136.

Offering, paid for the King's, at Windsor, 140.

[Pg 340]

Apparently the person who is described as Gentleman Rider of the Stables, in the account of the Funeral expences of Edward IV. on which occasion he received 'nine yards of cloth, and the same quantity for his four servants. Archæologia, vol. iii. p. 386. From the Ordinances of the Household made in the 17 Hen. VIII. it appears that his annual wages were 20l. and that he was allowed one hackney.

Oil, salad, 12, bis.

Oking, 59, 60, 61, 62, sæpe.

Oliver ——, 69.

Oranges brought, 71, 80, 92, 105, 108, 109, 110, 117, 141, 152, 171, 172, 181, 193, 203, 258, 279.

---- water, a glass with, brought, 166.

---- pies brought, 32, 205.

Ordnance, paid the expenses of three persons' journey to Portsmouth to inspect the ordnance there, 233.

This entry is of some interest, both as it shews the manner in which forts were inspected, and the expenses of three officers of government travelling to Portsmouth, and their charges there for ten days. The whole amounted but to 5l.

Oret Andrew, 195. See Painter.

Organ maker, to Sir John the, 131, 280.

It is almost certain that this organ maker was a priest.

Osborne Thomas, mercer of London, 133.

Oxford Lord, 127.

John de Vere, K. G. fifteenth Earl of Oxford, and Lord Great Chamberlain. He died in 1539.

Oxford, Old Lady, 89, 173, 277.

Most probably Elizabeth, widow of John de Vere, fourteenth Earl of Oxford, who died in 1526, S. P. and daughter and coheir of Sir Richard Scrope, Knt. younger son of Henry Lord Scrope of Bolton. She married first William Viscount Beaumont, and died S. P. in November, 1537. An abstract of her Will is printed in Testamenta Vetusta, vol. ii. p. 675.

Painter, to the Queen of Navarre's, 221.

----, to Tote the, 261.

---- to a, for the expenses of painting the king's boat, 262.

As nearly all these entries respecting Painters are noticed by Mr. Horace Walpole in his Anecdotes of Painting, they afford no new information on the subject. The names of those who are mentioned are Vincent who painted a plat of Hastings and Rye, for which he was paid 3l. 10s.; Bartholomew Penne, Anthony Toto, Andrew Oret, and Ambrose, the Queen of Navarre's painter. Of Vincent, Mr. Walpole gives no account; Ambrose, he conjectures to have stood in but little estimation, because the sum given him for a picture was only 4l. 13s. 4d. but of Penne and Tote we have the following particulars: "Penne or Penn is called by Vasari not Bartholomew but Luca Penni; he was brother of Gio Francesco[Pg 341] Penni, a favourite and imitator of Raphael. He worked some time at Genoa and in other parts of Italy, whence he came into England, and painted several pieces for the king and some merchants here. Vertue concludes that some scriptural subjects which he found in a small room called the Confessionary, near the Chapel at Hampton Court, particularly the Passion, were by Penn. Vasari adds, that Luca Penni addicted himself latterly to making designs for Flemish engravers. Toto was afterwards Serjeant Painter, and Rymer (vol. xiv. p. 595.) gives his letters of Naturalization. Speaking of Ridolphi fils de Dominique Ghirlandaio, he says, 'Chez lui il y avait Toto del Nuntiato, qui depuis s'en alla en Angleterre, ou il fit plusieurs ouvrages de peinture et d'architecture, avec lequel Perrin fut amitié, et a l'envie l'un de l'autre s'efforcoit à bien faire.' But Toto's works are all lost or unknown; his fame, with that of his associates, being obscured by the lustre of Holbein." Painters formed part of the royal Household, for besides the entries in these accounts of money to Toto and Penn for their livery coats, in the Ordinances for the Regulation of Queen Elizabeth's Household, "to the Serjeant Painter and other, to his appointment" is assigned a fee of 100l. per annum.

Palmer ——, 32, 33, 267, 270.

Pavise or Pavice, is explained to be a large shield that covers the whole body; but such an article could scarcely be meant in this instance.

[Pg 342]

Probably skins brought from Pampellone, a town in the department of Tarn, twelve miles from Alby. The word "Pawmpelion" does not occur in any Dictionary or Glossary.

Plat of Hastings and Rye, for a, 91.

[Pg 343]

Clearly a plan of those towns, the word plat occurs continually in a similar sense. Thus in the account in the Harleian MS. 1419, of furniture in Henry the Eighth's palaces, we find "a long case for plattes covered with vellett," "a case of tynne with a plat." "Certeyne plattes and petygrees in a Cupborde," &c. but the best idea of a plat is afforded by the plate in the second volume of Mr. Ellis's Second Series of Original Letters, which is called "A Platt of Calais." In the MS. from whence it is taken is a "Platt of the Lowe Countrye and Calleys, drawne in October, 37 Henry VIII. by Thomas Pettut." As in the Harleian MS. 1419, the word, "Mappes and Pictures" occur, it is evident that a plat differed from both, though it would appear from the engraving alluded to, that it partook of the character of each. The price of the "Plat of Rye and Hastings," which was executed by Vincent the King's painter, was 3l. 10s.

Pope's ambassador, 9.

---- Julius' game, money lost at, 274, 275, bis, 276, 277.

This game is mentioned in these accounts for the first time, hence no description can be given of it. All which can be inferred on the subject from these entries is, that it was played by four or more persons, and that it was not in use at Henry's court until the end of the year 1532. It is most probable that it derived its name from Pope Julius the Second, who died in 1513, and was possibly very similar to our present Pope Joan.

Popingay, one offered the King, 277.

Porpoise a, brought, 267.

Porter, to the Sergeant, 256.

[Pg 344]

Portsmouth, paid the expenses of inspecting the ordnance there, 233. See Ordnance.

Posset ale, for Sexton, 34.

Archdeacon Nares says Posset was a drink composed of hot milk, curdled by some strong infusion, which was much in favour with our ancestors both as luxury and medicine. "Posset ale" was probably hot milk curdled by ale, but whether given to the Fool as a "luxury" or "medicine" does not appear, as it is included in the expenses of his washing, shoes, and "other necessaries."

Post, paid to a, 56, 59, 196.

Pottersperry Park, paid to the keeper of, 160, 240.

Powle, the keeper of the Barra horse, 133, 165, 183, 199, 204, bis, 218, 247, 278. See Barbary Horse.

----, paid for the christening of his child, 214.

---- Lady, 124, 135, 137, 232.

It is manifest from most of these entries, that those individuals were especial favourites of Henry, who it seems acted as sponsor to their child, but the Editor has not been able to discover any particulars about them.

Pount John, 135.

Powell, a merchant, 167.

Presents brought, 74, 93, 250.

Prest, 83, &c.

This word occurs continually in reference to money advanced to servants on their wages, and clearly meant money paid to persons before their salaries were due. In the Shrewsbury Papers we find Lord Wharton informing the Earl of Shrewsbury in June, 1557, "The olde guarresone not paide for their half yeare, ended the xiiij of Febr. laste; and for this other half year which shall ende the xvjth day of Auguste, excepte money delivered in preste by the layte Treasourer which will appear upon declaracion of his accompt. Hear is noo Treasurer knowne, nor when they shall be paide." To which the Editor has added the following note: "This term, derived from pret, French, ready, was always applied to money transactions, but had various acceptations. In military affairs prest or imprest money usually meant the gratuity by which recruits were retained, from whence the well known phrase, 'pressing into the service.' In this instance it signifies the sums issued from time to time by the treasurer for the current use of the army." Lodge's Illustrations, vol. i. p. 237. The sense, however, in which this word is used in these accounts is derived from the French Prest, a loan. Cavendish uses it in precisely the same way. Speaking of Wolsey's pecuniary necessities he says "it was concluded that he should have by the way of prest, a thousand marks out of Winchester Bishoprick," p. 239.

Priest, paid to a sick, 77.

Pury Robert, 122, 287, bis, 291, bis. See Pery.

---- William, 76.

Putney, 139, 142.

Pykering Sir William, 220.

The entry relating to this individual is not a little amusing, for it seems that he won 2l. 5s. of the King by a bet that he would outrun his own dog. He is thus described by Lloyd. "His extraction was not noble, his estate but mean; yet was his person so comely, his carriage so elegant, his life so gravely reserved and studious, and his embassies in France and Germany so well managed, that in King Edward's days he was by the council pitched upon as the oracle, whereby our agents were to be guided abroad; and in Queen Elizabeth's, designed by common vote for the prince by whom we were to be governed at home. He received extraordinary favours, no doubt, so deserving he was: he wished no more, he was so popular; and when his service was admitted to Her Majesty's bosom, all fancies but his own placed his person in her bed." State Worthies, Ed. 1766, vol. i. p. 415. Sir William died at Pickering House in London in 1574, aged 58, and was buried under a magnificent tomb in the Church of St. Helen the Great and Less. Queen Elizabeth, according to his epitaph, was, "principi ommum illustrassimæ summus officris devotissimus." Pennant's London, p. 416. A copy of Edward the Sixth's "Instructions to Sir William Pickeringe, Knt. one of the Gentlemen of His Highenes Chamber toucheing the revocatione of Sir John Masone and the said Sir William to supplie his rome as residente ambassadore in Fraunce, dated 30th June, 1551," is preserved in the Harleian MS. 353, f. 113.b If, as Pennant states, he was born in 1516, he could only have been sixteen years old when he ran a race with his dog, and thereby won a wager of 45s. from Henry, a time of life suitable to such an action; but it is singular he should have been knighted at so early a period.

Pylleson, Michell, 240.

Pyne, the hosier, 18, 19, bis, 44, 61, 66, 86, 94, 98, 109, 122, 131, 138.

Pyper Hans, and Bartholomew, his fellow, Dromslades, 214. See Dromslades.

Quanden Simon, a jeweller, 270.

Quariars, for wax to make, 116.

In the Northumberland Household Book is an entry of "wax wrought in Torches," and of "wax wrought in Quarions," which Bishop Percy thus explains. "A Quarion was a square lump of wax with a wick in the centre. Round lumps of the same are still used in the Royal nursery under the name of Mortises." The word also occurs in the same sense in a MS. dated at Eltham, January, 22 Henry VIII. and noticed in the Archæologia, vol. iii. p. 156. "An account was to be taken of all fuel, wine, &c. and wax lights, spent in the King's Privy Chamber, returning to the chaundry all the remains of mortars, torchers, quarries, prickets, and sizes."

Quarterage [i. e. Quarter's wages] for the watermen's, 279.

Quenay Vincent, [a Clockmaker,] 215.

Queen the, 43, 183.

An affecting proof of the little consideration in which the unfortunate[Pg 346] Katherine was held is afforded by the fact, that during three years her name only twice occurs in the Privy Purse expenses of her royal husband, and then only in reference to two of her servants. Ann Boleyn is mentioned in almost every page, though she was then unmarried, and every buffoon and jester of the Court is frequently noticed, whilst the Queen of England is passed over in silence.

Quene apples brought, 163.

Queristers [i. e. Choristers]. See Windsor.

Rasmus, the armourer, 123, ter, 135, 228, 259. See also Erasmus.

Ratcliff Master, 200, 224, 268.

Apparently Sir Humphrey Ratcliffe one of the Gentlemen Pensioners. Upon one occasion it seems the King lent him 100l. He is spoken of in Cavendish's Life of Wolsey, Ed. Singer, 1815, vol. i. pp. 333, 4.

Rat-taker, to the, 228.

Raleigh Park, 16, 19.

Raynezford Humphrey, keeper of the King's private Buckhounds, 7, 19, 24, 28, 34, 38, 49, 55, 61, bis, 66, 67, 73, 77, 81, 86, 99, 105, 112, 115, 125, 126, 133, 137, 139, 142, 146, 154, 156, 160, 162, 165, 167, 176, 180, 181, 187, 194, 197, 205, 208, 210, 215, 222, 226, 229, 233, bis, 234, sæpe, 236, 238, 241, bis, 244, 246, bis, 248, 249, 251, 253, 260, 265, 275, 281, 282, 284, 290.

---- John, gardener of Beaulie, 80, 81, 103, 234, 264, 288.

---- Marshal of the King's hall, 79, 125.

Reed, for the King's barge, 45.

Reed was probably used in cleaning the bottom of the barge. On such occasions it is affixed to a pole, set on fire, and applied to melt the mixture of pitch, &c. with which the bottom of an uncoppered vessel is covered.

Redemption of a jewel, for the, 88.

This curious entry is noticed under Jewell and Rochford.

Reding William, a mercer, 215.

Relick Water brought, 67, 148.

What Relick Water was cannot be exactly explained. On one occasion it was sent by the Abbot of Westminster, whose servant received 20s. for bringing it; and on the other, a glass of it was brought from Windsor to Hampton Court, the bearer of which was paid only 12d. It was probably a strong scented spirit, and from its name we may infer that its virtues were of a superior nature, even if they were not supposed to have been derived from some sacred object or ceremony.

Remnant of a piece of cloth of gold, 190.

Removing day, for the, 234.

[Pg 347]

The day upon which the Court removed from one Palace to another.

----, Keeper of, 76.

----, Duke of, 40, 41, 42, 131, 189.

Henry Fitz Roy, natural son of King Henry VIII. by Lady Elizabeth Talboys. He was born in 1519, and on the 18th June 1525, was created Earl of Nottingham, and Duke of Richmond and Somerset, K. G.; on the 26th of July following he was constituted Lord High Admiral. He married Mary, daughter of Thomas, Duke of Norfolk, but died before consummation on the 24th July, 1536. When the Duke is first mentioned in these accounts, he was eleven years of age: arrows were then purchased for him, and his nurse is said to have received 40s. in reward. In the same year 20s. were paid for a lute for him; and it appears that in January 1532 he was ill, for a physician was paid 40s. for visiting him.

Rider, to Alexander the, 184.

Riding boys, 29, 41, 83, 86, 91, 94, 98, 100, 107, 114, 123, bis, 131, 132, bis, 176, 207, 212, 216, 230, 259, 263, 276, 277. See Boys of the Stable.

Riding bonnets, for, 99.

----, Caps of black velvet, 25.

Ridley ——, a tailor, 215.

Rigeley Rowland, 109, 195.

Rights, paid to Mark and the two Guilliams against Easter for to take their, 121.

Upon this item the Editor is unable to throw any light. If it means a payment of their accustomed gratuity of 20s. each, at Easter, it would be intelligible, and it is difficult to explain it in any other way; for that money should be paid to an individual for receiving what was his "Right," seems almost absurd.

Rightwise, Master of St. Paul's school, 106.

The King ordered 13l. 9s. to be given to this person in January 1531, but for what reason does not appear.

Rings, for finding one of the king's, 20.

Rings and Bolts, for the king's chamber doors during a progress, 251. See Bolts.

Road, paid for improving a road against the king passed, 177.

Robes, groom of the. See Cecil and Parker.

----, Stuff delivered by the keeper, for the Marchioness of Pembroke, 254.

Roche ——, a mercer, 59.

Rochford Lord, 34, 37, 68, 72, 128, 144, 156, 189, 195, bis, 209, ter, 210, bis, 226, 232, 263, bis.

George Boleyn Viscount Rochford, the brother of Queen Ann Boleyn. The history of this amiable young nobleman is too well known to require any further notice of him[Pg 348] in this place. Almost all these entries shew the high favour in which he was held by Henry, for it is manifest from them that he was the King's constant companion, and was always one of his parties, at shooting matches, bowls, dice, cards, and indeed at every other species of amusement.

Rochford, Lady Mary, 88.

Apparently the sister of Lord Rochford and Queen Ann Boleyn, though it is extraordinary that she should be called Lady Mary Rochford. She married first Sir William Carey, by whom she had Henry Lord Hunsdon, and secondly, Sir William Stafford, Knight. The entry relating to her is not a little curious; it appears from it that her sister Anne Boleyn had pawned a jewel to her for the sum of 20l. which was redeemed out of the Privy Purse expences by order of the King.

---- Lady Ann, 108, 111, 113, 123, 133, 215.

It seems that all these entries referred to Ann Boleyn, and ought to have been inserted under her name. They are, however, alluded to at the commencement of the volume.

Rods, binding rods for poles paid for, 22.

Rods, [Roods] to the king's bedesman at the, 122. See also Rhods.

Rotherham Master, 71.

Rounds, for making of, 107, 145.

A kind of Target at which arrows were shot, both for practice and amusement. Cavendish says, that when he was sent for by Henry to Hampton Court, after the death of Cardinal Wolsey, "I found him shooting at the rounds in the park on the backside of the garden, and perceiving him occupied in shooting, thought it not my duty to trouble him, but leaned to a tree intending to stand there, and to attend his gracious pleasure. Being in a great study, at the last the King came suddenly behind me where I stood, and clapped his hand upon my shoulder, and when I perceived him, I fell upon my knee. To whom he said calling me by name, 'I will,' quoth he, 'make an end of my game, and then I will talk with you,' and so departed to his mark, whereat the game was ended. Then the king delivered his bow unto the yeoman of his bows and went his way inward to the palace." Ed. Singer, 1815, vol. i. p. 328.

----, money won at the, 134.

Rowed, to the men that rowed the king, 127, bis.

Rowland ——, a keeper of Waltham Forest, 72.

Rowme, to Rutter, for his fee due for his rowme in Windsor Forest, 286.

Rowme appears to have been a common expression for "place," or "situation," thus in Lodge's Illustrations, in a letter dated 28th April, 1516, "The Master of the Rolles is departed, and Doctor Tunstalle hath his rowme, as the saying is." Vol. i. p. 9. The fee in question was due to him by virtue of office, which was that of keeper of Windsor Forest.

Running the King's geldings, 18, 29.

[Pg 349]

Boys who rode the king's racing horses.

Ancestor of the Dukes of Bedford, and founder of the honors of that illustrious family. He was created Baron Russell of Cheymes, on the 9th March 1538, was a Knight of the Garter, Lord Admiral, and Lord Privy Seal, and in 1549, was raised to the Earldom of Bedford.

Russell Lady, 107, 245.

Wife of Sir John Russell just mentioned. She was the daughter and co-heiress of Sir Guy Sapcotes, Knight, and widow of Sir John Broughton, of Teddington, in the county of Bedford.

----, 227.

Rydley Robert, a taylor, 5, 60.

---- page of the king's chamber, 23.

Rye and Hastings, for a plat of, 91. See Plat.

Rye was at that time a sea-port of some importance, and maintained several ships of war. In Lodge's Illustrations, vol. i. p. 63, is a letter from the Privy Council, dated in 1544, in which the following passage occurs: "The town of Rye hath all this year had iij or iiij vessells abrode for the warres, and gayned very moche by it."

Rynning boys. See Running Boys.

Sables several tymb' of, brought, 105.

Saddles, for, 257.

Sail, for a, 262.

Sakar a, brought, 91.

---- and Sakeretts, paid for, 192.

"A Saker is a passenger or peregrine Hawk, for her eyrie hath not been found by any. She is somewhat larger than the haggard falcon, her plume is rusty and ragged, the sear of her foot and beak like the lanner; her pounces are short; however she has great strength, and is hardy to all kind of fowl."—Gentleman's Recreation. A Sakerett was probably a young Saker. Six Sakers and five Sakeretts cost, in 1532, eight crowns a-piece, the sum paid for the eleven being 20l. 10s. 8d.

Sakfelde, the groom porter, 120.

Salad Oil, a potell of, 12, ter.

[Pg 350]

----, for the Exhibitions of, at Paris, 8, 71, 90, 190, 263.

Scholars, to Mr. Ratcliffe, a scholar at Cambridge, 224.

Among the few redeeming traits in Henry the Eighth's character, was a love of learning, to which each of these entries bears additional testimony. Besides occasional gifts to Scholars of Oxford, Cambridge and Paris, and which in three years amounted to 83l. 13s. 4d. he also gave exhibitions, the whole expences of which in the same period were 63l. 6s. 8d. He moreover supported two scholars at St. Paul's School, the charges for which were 30l. 3s.; making, if 13l. 9d. paid to the master of that school in January 1531, be included, a total of 190l. 12s. spent from November 1529 to December 1532, for the encouragement and advancement of erudition; a trifling sum, it is true, when compared with recent instances of Royal munificence, but important when the value of money, and the manners of the times are considered.

Science, paid to a jeweller to be employed in his, 156.

The use of the word Science in this sense is rather curious.

Scot John, 23, 39, 87, 108, 132, 182, 205, 217, 277, 281.

Apparently a gift of 20s. 4d. to pay the fee of affixing the great seal to some instrument affecting her interests.

Secretary Master, 26, 77, 144.

Probably the Principal Secretary of State, but it is not certain who filled that office, in 1530 and 1531. Cromwell was not regularly appointed to it until 1534; but it is most likely that he was the person so designated in these accounts.

Sergeant of the Cellar, 64. See Cellar.

----, Porter, 256.

Apparently Edmund Knyvett, who certainly held that office in August 1519. See Testamenta Vetusta, p. 568.

Seymour Sir Edward, 5, 17, 36.

Afterwards the King's brother-in-law, and Duke of Somerset, the celebrated Protector of England. These entries show the familiar manner in which he was treated by Henry as early as 1529. The first item is of a payment to him of 337l. upon a reckoning between His Majesty and himself, and the second and third to money lost to him by the King at play. On one occasion Sir Edward won of Henry the large sum of 376l. 10s.

[Pg 351]

Seymour, Robert, 273.

It has not been ascertained who this individual was. The entry relating to him is a payment of 4l. 13s. 4d. which he had won of the King at Tables.

Shafts for, 47, 265.

Shalms, brought to the king, 26.

---- for Tenor and Treble, 86.

A Shalm is explained by Mr. Ayrton, whose professional reputation renders him excellent authority on such a subject, "to be the base Cornet." Ellis's Original Letters, Second series, vol. i. p. 273. Bishop Percy informs us that "it was a wind instrument like a pipe, with a swelling protuberance in the middle:"

"Item, my Lord useth and accustometh yearly when his Lordship is at home to gyf to iij of the Kyngs Shames when they come to my Lord yerly x s." Northumberland Household Book, p. 341. Cavendish says, when the king of France came, "he danced, and others with him, the most part of that night; my Lord's minstrels played there so excellently all that night, that the shalme (whether it were with extreme labour of blowing, or with poisoning, as some judged, because they were more commended and accepted with the king than his own, I cannot tell,) but he that played upon the shalme, an excellent man in that art, died within a day or twain after." Ed. Singer, 1825, vol. i. p. 114. Perhaps the earliest drawing of a Shalm extant, is in the Illustrations to the copy of Froissart, in the British Museum, Royal MS. 18 E. I & II.

Sheathes for knives, of velvet, paid for, 161.

Shepey, paid the watermen for rowing the King to, 262.

Shere Robert, keeper of the beagles, 17, 24, 39, 50, 54, 59, 75, 79, bis, 89, 94, 111, 126, 136, 149, 166, 167, 177, 187, 194, 198, 204, 213, 219, 231, 246, 250, 260, 275, 287, 290.

---- John, keeper of the beagles, 125.

Sic in MS. but query, if not a mistake for Robert Shere.

Ship, paid for discharging the, that brought Cardinal Wolsey's goods, 112.

----s, paid when the King viewed his, 260.

Henry's attachment to naval affairs has been fully established, and he consequently paid great attention to his ships. A curious list of his Majesty's navy, in 1525, 6, is given by Mr. Ellis, in his Original Letters, second Series, v. i. p. 218 et seq. as a note to a very interesting letter on the subject from Sir Edward Howard, Lord High Admiral, in 1513. See also a letter from some ladies to the King from Portsmouth about the year 1540, acquainting the King with the pleasure they derived from inspecting "the Great Harry." Ibid. First Series, vol. ii. p. 126.

----, the Master Treasurer's, 6.

Evidently the ship belonging to Sir William Fitz-William, afterwards Earl of Southampton, and which by his will dated in September, 1542, he thus bequeathed to the King—"Item, I give to the King's Majesty my great ship, with all her tackle, and my collar of the garter, with my best George beset with diamonds."—Testamenta Vetusta, p. 707. Individuals frequently owned ships which were employed in the King's service, and which seem to have been considered as a sufficient means of support, for Sir Edward Howard, the Lord Admiral, in his will dated in 1512, says, "Whereas I have two Bastards, I give the King's grace the choice of them,[Pg 352] beseeching his Grace to be good Lord to them, and that when he cometh of age he may be his servant; and him that the King's Grace chuseth, I bequeath him my bark, called 'Genett,' with all apparel and artillery, and L li to begin his stock with: the other I bequeath to my special trusty friend, Charles Brandon, praying him to be good master unto him; and for because he hath no ship, I bequeath to him C marks to set him forward in the world." Ibid. p. 534.

Shooting, for, 67, 72, 76, 85, 135, 144, 145, 156.

----, money lost by the King at, 50, 118, 120, 137, 159, 226, 229, 237, 250.

All these entries refer either to money paid to individuals, as a reward for their dexterity in shooting, or to bets lost by the King at shooting matches.

Shots, paid for seven lost by the King, 118.

Shovelard, [i. e. Shoveller] a, brought, 175.

Shovillabourd, Money lost by the king at, 188, 189, 195, bis, 209.

Archdeacon Nares explains Shovel-board to be "a common trivial game, which consisted in pushing or shaking pieces of money on a board to reach certain marks. Shovel-board play is graphically described in a poem entitled Mensa Lubrica, &c. written both in Latin and English by Thomas Master. The English Poem is cited at large in Bliss's edition of Anth. Wood, vol. iii. p. 84. The table had lines or divisions marked with figures, according to the value of which the player counted his game. It is minutely described by Strutt, Sports and Pastimes, p. 267, as still in use in pot houses, and played with a smooth halfpenny. The game was also called Shove-groat, Shove-board, and Shuffle-board." Glossary.

Shrobbe, Hanley and Wakefield, to the ranger and keepers of, 160.

These three places are in Northamptonshire; the latter is now the seat of the Duke of Grafton.

Sick men, paid for, 77, 145.

---- priest, paid to a, 77.

---- woman, paid to a, 135.

---- people, paid to, whom the King healed, 16, 20, 37, 40, 46, 156, 160, 161, 163, 164, 170, 221, 225, 243, 249, 253, 264, 272, 277.

People supposed to be healed by the King's touch from the disease, thence called the King's Evil. "Andrew Borde, who wrote his Introduction to Knowledge, in king's reign, states, that 'the Kinges of England, by the power that God hath gyven to them, doth make sicke men whole of a syckness called the Kynges evyll.' This extract and the entry above are sufficient to prove, were other evidence wanting, that Dr. Percy was much mistaken in supposing that 'this miraculous gift was left to be claimed by the Stuarts." Some curious matter upon this subject is collected in a note by Nichols, Literary Anecdotes, 195, II. 504, Reed, Shak. X. 243, and see 195. Amongst the Conway papers (MSS) there is an order for a proclamation,[Pg 353] dated 13th May, 1625, to forbid the repair of people to court till Michaelmas following, to be healed of the King's Evil, and that for the future all shall bring certificates from the minister, &c. of the parish, for that many being healed, have disposed of their pieces of gold otherwise than was intended, and thereby fall into relapse.' Sir Kenelm Digby informed Mons. Moncenys, that if the person cured lost the piece of gold, the complaint immediately returned. Moncenys' Travels, t. ii. p. 20. Fabian Phillips, in his Treatise on Purveyance, asserts that the angels issued by the Kings of England on these occasions amounted to a charge of 3000l. per annum, p. 25. See Barrington on the Statutes, 107, 8. M.—See also Healed.

Skutt John, 179, 223.

Sleves, paid for two pair of, 31.

Sloppes, paid for a pair of, 274.

Archdeacon Nares says, "Slops or trowsers, now familiarly used for garments of all kinds," Glossary; and the authorities there adduced prove the correctness of the definition. The pair bought for the king cost 6s. 8d. "Sometimes I have seen Tarleton play the clowne, and use no other breeches than such sloppes or slivings as now many gentlemen weare." Wright's Passions of the Mind. Ed. 1601.

Smith Robert, 22.

Smythe Thomas, 170, 183, 219, bis, 238, 259, 261, 265, 269.

For the following Note relative to this individual, the Editor is indebted to Joseph Gwilt, Esq. F.S.A. a descendant of his family:

"Thomas Smith, whose name so frequently occurs in these accounts, was most probably afterwards of Campden, Co. Gloucester; he had also a grant of the manor of Lyersocle, Co. Heref. jointly with his son-in-law, Hugh Walshe, which was confirmed in the 35th of the same king. That Smythe was a man of considerable importance, may be inferred as well from his matrimonial alliances, as from the inscription on his monument, in which he is described, 'a pueritiâ suâ aulicus.' In the College of Arms there is a grant to Thomas Smith, by Christopher Barker, dated Boulogne 1544, and afterwards confirmed by Gilbert Dethick, from which it appears that he was at Boulogne in that year; probably attendant on the court there. Elizabeth, the first wife of Thomas Smith, was daughter and coheir of Eustace Fitzherbert, and relict of Edward Smith, of Cresing Temple, Co. Essex, by whom she had two children. By Thomas Smith it is not clear from the pedigrees, which exhibit some discrepances, that she[Pg 354] had issue. His second wife was Katharine, daughter of Sir George Throckmorton, of Coughton, relict of Robert Winter, of Hoddington; Co. Wigorn, by whom he had a numerous family. He was Sheriff of Gloucestershire in the years 1571 and 1593 and died 1593. Over the place of his interment near the altar of Campden Church, on the north side, is a canopied monument of the time with his figure in knight's armour of the size of life. On the compartments between the pedestals under the columns are bassi relievi, representing his two wives, seven sons and six daughters. On the western face of the monument, are the arms of Smith, viz. a Fess between three Saltires; and in another escotcheon, the Crest, viz. two Amphibamies indorsant. On the south side are three escotcheons, the westernmost with the arms of Smith. The next towards the altar, Smith impaling Throckmorton; and Olney, Spyne and Bosson, quarterly. The last, Smith's impaling Fitzherbert in the first and fourth, and two other coats quarterly. Against the north wall of the chancel is the following inscription:—'Hic jacet vir verus Christianus Thomas Smith Armiger quondam Manerii di Campden Dominus, a pueritiâ suâ aulicus, qui suo tempore fuit e consiliis Regis Marchiæ Walliæ bisque Vicecomes comitatus Gloucestriæ, ac justiciarius pacis ejusdem comitatus usque ad extremum ætatis, qui habuit duas uxores; primam Elizabetham Filiam et hæredem Eustatii Fitzherbert Armigeri, secundam Katharinam filiam Georgii Throckmorton Militis cum filiis et filiabus ut hic patet qui obit die ... Anno Dom. MDXCIII.'

There is little, doubt that this Thomas Smith was the father of Henry Smith, Esq. an Alderman of London, who is buried at Wandsworth, and whose extensive charitable benefactions in Surrey and elsewhere are universally known. He bore the same arms with a difference, as appears by the funeral certificate, in the College of Arms, Register i. 23. 30, and there are many other circumstances which tend to strengthen such a conjecture."

It appears from the Book of Quarterly Payments from the 29th to the 33rd Henry VIII. in the library of the Royal Society, that Smith was a Page of the Chamber, and received 10l. per annum for his wages; and it is manifest from these entries that like Smeton and the two Williamses, he was a peculiar favourite of Henry, for all his apparel was paid for out of the privy purse, and he accompanied the King to Calais in October 1532.

Apparently Sir William Spencer of Althorp, ancestor of the Duke of Marlborough and Earl Spencer. He was knighted in 1529, and in the 23rd and 24th Henry VIII. was Sheriff of Northamptonshire. Sir William died, however, on the 22nd June 1532, a month before his servant is said to have brought a present to the King. His son and heir was then very young, hence these gifts were probably sent by his mother or guardians.

Spurs to the Choristers of Windsor, in reward for the King's, 55, 58, 253.

Money paid to redeem the King's spurs, which had become the fee of the Choristers of Windsor, perhaps at installations, or at the annual celebration of St. George's feast. No notice on the subject occurs in Ashmole's or Anstis' History of the Order of the Garter. The composition was 6s. 8d.

Stalking Gelding, for meat for a, 132.

---- Horse, 162, 194.

---- Ox the, brought, 112.

A Stalking Horse, Archdeacon Nares informs us, was "sometimes a real horse, sometimes the figure of one cut out and carried by the sportsman for the following purposes. On being found that wild fowl which would take early alarm at the appearance of man, would remain quiet when they saw only a horse approaching, advantage was taken of it, for the shooter to conceal himself behind a real or artificial horse, and thus to get within shot of his game." In the Gentleman's Recreation both kinds of stalking horses, and the manner of using them, are fully explained. All these entries on the subject seem to refer to a real horse, and we learn from one of them that an ox was employed for the same purpose. A stalking horse occurs in the list of Henry's horses in the Ordinances made at Eltham, in the 17th Henry VIII. p. 200.

Standards, for carrying Plate, 43.

The word is used in a similar sense by Cavendish. "The King caused to be sent him three or four cart loads of stuff, and most part thereof was locked in great standards (except bed and kitchen stuff) wherein was both plate, and rich hangings, and chapel stuff." Ed. Singer, 1825, vol. i. p. 224.

Stony Stratford, 160.

Stools, for tables, forms, and, 220.

Strawberries brought, 45, 141, 147, 221.

Strene the, brought, 151.

This entry almost defies explanation. The only instance in which strene occurs in the Glossaries is synonymously with strain, a race, descent, lineage. Hence it might, however unlikely, mean a pedigree; but it is more probable that it was kind of strainer.

Strings for cross bows, 19.

String-maker for bows, his bill paid, 180.

Stubbes Doctor, 6, 23, 36, 114.

[Pg 356]

Sydney Sir William, 29.

Apparently Sir William Sydney, grandfather of Robert, Earl of Leicester, a Gentleman of the Privy Chamber. His wife, who was probably the Lady Sydney here mentioned, was Ann, daughter of Hugh Pagenham, Esq.

---- Lady, 32, 201, 205, 213.

Sydrons, [i. e. Citrons,] brought, 80.

Tabulls, [Tables,] brought, 48.

Tables for playing the game so called. See infra.

Table, Chess, &c. 81.

Tables, money given the king to play at the, 272, 273.

Tables is considered to be the old name for back-gammon. In the frontispiece of Strutt's Sports and Pastimes an engraving of a Table occurs. Sir William Compton, by his will dated in 1523, bequeathed to Henry "a little chest of ivory, wherof one lock is gilt, with a chess-board under the same, and a pair of tables upon it, and all such jewels and treasures as are inclosed therein." Testamenta Vetusta, p. 593. Tables are thus spoken of in a Knight's Instructions to his Daughters, originally written in French, in April 1371, and translated about the reign of Henry VI. "Ther was a gentille knight's daughter that wratthed atte the Tables with a gentill man that was riotous and comberous and hadd an evelle hede, and the debate was on a point that he plaide that she saide it was wronge, and so the wordes and the debate rose so, that she saide that he was a lewde fole and thanne lost the game in chiding." Harleian MSS. 1764, f. 7b

Numerous as these entries are, they afford no information on the situation which Talbot filled. His wages were 9l. per annum, and we may infer that he was one of the servants.

Tallowing the King's barge, for, 45, 211. See Barge.

Tar for the King's barge, 45. See Barge.

Tarsel, paid for a, 10.

---- a, brought, 62, 187, 237, 244.

[Pg 357]

Or Tassell Gentle, properly Tiercell—the male of the Goshawk. It is called gentle, from its docile and tractable disposition. Nares' Glossary. The value of a tarsell in 1529 seems to have been 13s. 4d.

---- ——, to Anstey of the, for balls at Calais and Greenwich, 283.

Tertagats paid for, 135.

This entry must mean targets or bucklers. The cost of "divers" amounted to so large a sum as 61l. 2s. 8d.

Tewke Sir Bryan, 19, 22, 24.

Mr. Ellis states that this individual was Treasurer of the Chamber, and was appointed Secretary to the King for the French tongue, with a salary of 100 marks, in 1523. He purchased the manor of Layer Marney in Essex in 1525, and was Sheriff of that county in 1533. He died on the 26th October, 1545, and was buried at St. Margaret's, Walbrooke. Original Letters, First Series, vol. i, p. 283. Mr. Ellis has printed some, and referred to several of his letters. Collins says, Tuke was Secretary to Cardinal Wolsey, Peerage, Ed. 1779, vol. i. p. 87. The entries respecting him in these accounts only refer to the months of January and February, 1530, and relate to payments of large sums to the Emperor, or for other purposes. The whole amount paid into his hands on those occasions was 5143l. 8s.

Tewksbury Abbot of, 149.

Thirlby Doctor, 262.

Afterwards the first and only Bishop of Westminster. Mr. Lodge says of him in a note to a letter in his Illustrations, that he was an able civilian, and was employed in several embassies by Henry. He was translated to Norwich by Edward VI. and to Ely by Mary, and died at Lambeth, 26th August, 1570. That elegant writer farther observes, "The mildness of his conduct during the persecutions of the Protestants by Mary, secured him a quiet retreat in the following reign. In making a grave for the burial of Archbishop Cornwallis, at Lambeth, in 1783, the body of Bishop Thirlby was discovered in its coffin, in a great measure undecayed, as was the cloathing. The corpse had a cap on its head, and a hat under its arm."

Thomas, a footman, 94, 69, 142.

---- John, sergeant at Arms, 153.

Thomson, ——, 58, 177.

Thorns for Greenwich Park, paid for, 205.

Tierces of wine, for the lading of, 99.

Tissue, pieces of, paid for, 6, 105.

Token a, sent from the King to Sir Francis Bryan, 125.

The word token, per se, evidently meant any thing sent as a mark of kindness. In this instance it was 50l. but it was more frequently a jewel or other article of value. Thus in the instance of Cardinal Wolsey, when Henry was informed by Dr. Butts that unless he sent him some testimony of his favour he would die within four days, "Even so will I, quoth the King, and therefore make speed to him again, and ye shall deliver him from me[Pg 358] this ring for a token of our good will and favour towards him, in the which ring was engraved the King's visage within a ruby, as lively counterfeit as was possible to be devised."—"And then he spake to Mistress Anne [Boleyn] saying, 'Good sweetheart, I pray you at this my instance, as ye love us, to send the Cardinal a token with comfortable words, and in so doing ye shall do us a loving pleasure.' Incontinent, she took her tablet of gold hanging at her girdle, and delivered it to Master Buttes with very gentle and comfortable words," &c. Cavendish's Life of Wolsey, Ed. Singer, 1825, vol. i. p. 226. An engraving of this scene is given from a MS. in the possession of Mr. Douce in that interesting work.

Totehill, 107, 118, 120.

Tomb, paid for the King's, 101.

This entry is rather extraordinary, because Henry VIII. expressly states in his will, dated on the 30th December, 1546, sixteen years afterwards, that his tomb was not then made. He orders that his body shall be buried in the choir of his College of Windsor, "mid-may between the Halls and the High Altar, and an honourable tomb for our bones to rest in be made, if it be not done by us in our life-time." But it is evident from the item in question that a tomb was began for him as early as December, 1530, towards the expences of which Cromwell was then paid 13l. 6s. 8d.

Torch Sir, the King's bedeman, at Greenwich, 33, 88, 122.

Treasurer, the King's, 22, 62, 93, 117, 131, 149, 189, bis, 255, 272.

Until the 26 Henry VIII. 1532, Thomas Boleyn, Earl of Wiltshire, father of Queen Anne, is said to have been Treasurer of the Household; in which year Sir William Fitz-William, afterwards Earl of Southampton, was appointed to that office; but in the will of Sir David, Knt. dated in February, 1529-30, he speaks of "Sir William Fitz-William, Treasurer of the King's Household."—Testamenta Vetusta, p. 701; and there are other causes for believing that he was Treasurer of the Household at the whole period embraced by these accounts.

Tregonnar ——, 69.

Tremesin Peter, a dompnu, 218. See Dompnu.

Trenchers, paid for, 14, 108, 191, 243.

----, a garden, paid for, 177.

----, the King's gun, for, 194.

These entries are inserted under the word Trimmed, or Trimming, to shew the varied sense in which it was used.

Truss, cotton brought to truss plate, 190.

To pack it so that it might not be injured by friction.

----, the Clockmaker, 93.

Viols, to three of the, 260.

A payment of 3l. 7s. 6d. to three persons who played on the viols. Mr. Ayrton observes, "A chest of viols was a set of instruments comprising a treble, a tenor, and bass viol, or what we now denominate a violin, viola, and violoncello." Ellis's Original Letters, Second Series, vol. i. p. 272.

Virginals, for, 37, ter, 110.

A Virginal is thus explained by Mr. Ayrton. "The Virginal was that which afterwards took the name of Spinnet, and differed from it only in shape. The Spinnet was triangular, the Virginal oblong, like our small piano fortes." Ellis's Original Letters, Second Series, vol. i. p. 272. The item in p. 37, describes the different kinds of Virginals with their respective prices; two pair in a box with four stops, cost 3l.; two pair in one coffer cost 3l., and a little pair, 20s. For five pairs, on another occasion, 8l. 6s. 8d. were paid.

Upshot, for one upshotte that he wanne from the King, 143.

In the sense in which Upshot is there used, it seems to mean a wager or rather stake, or sum played for.

Upton, the Church of St. Lawrence at, 36.

The seat of Lord Sandys.

Wading, a pond for, 235.

Wager in hunting, money lost in a, 162, 163.

----, a curious, won, 263.

Waits of Canterbury, to the, 266, 274.

This is perhaps the earliest instance known of the use of the word, in the sense of nocturnal musicians, as Archdeacon Nares, does not cite any older authority than Beaumont and Fletcher. They appear to have played to the King whilst at Canterbury, on his route to Dover on the 9th October, and on his return the 18th of November 1532. Among the entries in the Household expenses of Thomas Kytson, Esq. in January 1574, is "In reward to Richard Reede, one of the wayghtes of Cambridge, for his attendance in Christmas time xxs."—History and Antiquities of Hengrave, p. 201.

Wakefelde, Shrobbe, and Hanley, to the rangers and keepers of, 160.

These three places are in Northamptonshire. Wakefield Lawn is now the seat of the Duke of Grafton.

Wall, for a new at Blackheath, 213.

Walshe Master, 4, 16, bis, 53, 108, 146, 232.

[Pg 360]

Apparently Sir Walter Walshe, Knight, a Gentleman of the Privy Chamber, who was sent to the Earl of Northumberland's house to arrest Cardinal Wolsey. See Singer's Edition of Cavendish, 1825, vol. 1, pp. 272, 275, et seq.

Walshe Walter, 4, 44, 60, 74, 76, 79, 85.

It is most likely that this was the same person who is described elsewhere as Master Walshe.

---- —— 9, 22.

---- William, gardener of Greenwich, 39, 50, 84, 94, 124, 137, 163, 213, 218, 232.

----'s Daughter, 228.

Walsingham, for the king's offering to the image of our Lady of, 214.

Offerings to the image of our Lady of Walsingham, were common at a very early period. William de Ufford, Earl of Suffolk, ordered by his will, dated in 1381, that a picture of a horse and man armed with his arms, should be made of silver, and offered to the altar of our Lady of Walsingham. Testamenta Vetusta, p. 115. In the Vision of Pierce Plowman pilgrimages to our Lady of Walsingham, are thus noticed. "Hermits on a heape, wyth hoked staves, wenten to Walsingham."

Ward for the board of a person being in, 78.

Either a person under confinement, or more probably one of the King's wards.

Warde Thomas, 53, 90, 145, 148, 250.

It is evident that he was an artizan of some kind, probably a builder, as many of these entries relate to repairs at Windsor; and the others to payments made to him for new butts, rounds and pricks.

Wardens brought, 105, 110, 126, 167, 265, 266, 274.

Large pears. Cavendish describes Wolsey as eating roasted wardens at the moment in which he was seized with his fatal illness. "It came to pass at a certain season sitting at dinner in his own chamber, having at his boards end that same day, as he divers times had to accompany him, a mess of the Earls' gentlemen and chaplains, and eating of roasted wardens at the end of his dinner, before whom I stood at the table, dressing of those wardens for him, beholding of him I perceived his colour often to change," &c. Ed. Singer, 1825, vol. i. p. 300. In a poem written by Lydgate temp. Henry VI. he thus alludes to Wardens.

"Eke othere frutes, whiche that more common be,
Quenyngges, peches, costardes, and wardens."

Neither of these entries afford any information as to who this person was.

Weeding, paid for, 39, 50, 84, 94, 124, 206, 207.

Wellesborne Master, 97, 151, 210.

Probably Sir John Wellesborne, called in the Ordinances of the Household, 17th Henry VIII. "Sir John Welshbone, one of the Gentlemen of the Privy Chamber." On one occasion he borrowed of the King, 60l. which was to be repaid in three years, and on another he received a gift of 23l. 6s. 8d. "in reward."

Weston Master, 15, 17, 18, 37, 38, bis, 44, 46, 50, 78, 86, 98, 126, 150, bis, 186, 227, 229, 232, 248, 265, 271, 272, 274, 275, 277, 278.

So little is known of the family of this individual, that the following particulars may be useful. He was the eldest son of Sir Richard Weston, of Sutton, Co. Surry, Knt. who in the Herald's Visitations of that county, is styled "Miles pro corpore, Magister Wardorum, Thesaurar' Calisie, et Sub-Thesaurar' Angliæ." Sir Francis Weston was a Knight of the Bath, and Gentleman of the Privy Chamber, and fell a victim to a supposed criminal intimacy with Queen Anne Boleyn, in 1536. He married Eleanor, widow of Sir Henry Knyvet, Knt. and daughter and sole heiress of Eleanor, (the daughter and heiress of Sir Roger Lewknor, Knt. one of the co-heirs of the Barony of Camois,) by her first husband, Sir Christopher Pickering, Knt. By her, who remarried to her third husband, John Vaughan, of Crickhowell, and died in 1582, Sir Francis Weston left issue a son, Sir Henry Weston, Knt.: he was living in 1582, and had one son, Sir Richard Weston, and two daughters, Jane and Anne. Sir Richard was living in 1608, and his son Sir Richard was residing at Sutton in 1623, and by Grace, his wife, daughter, and heir of John Harper, of Chelston, in Co. Hereford, had issue Richard, then æt. 5, John, Henry, and Francis. The descendants of Sir Francis Weston here mentioned are supposed to be extinct; and Mr. Lodge informs us that in 1782, William Webb, Esq. assumed the name of Weston, in compliance with the will of Mrs. Melior Mary Weston, the last of that ancient family.—Illustrations, vol. i. p. 30, note. See also the Gentleman's Magazine, vol. lii. p. 312. These entries shew the high favor in which he stood with the King. Cavendish makes him say,

"I was dayntely noryshed under the king's wyng,
Who highly favored me and loved me so well
[Pg 362] That I had all my will and lust in every thyng,
Mynding nothing less than chaunce of my endyng;
And for my dethe that present is nowe here,
I looked not for, this fyvetie or thre-score yere."

Ed. Singer, 1825, vol. ii. p. 31.

Weston Lady, 32, 89, 253.

Perhaps the wife of Sir Francis Weston. She is alluded to in the last note.

----, Young Master, 10, 11, 96, 162.

Probably Henry, the son of Sir Francis and Lady Weston, mentioned in the preceding note. He was Page of the Bed Chamber to the King.—Archæologia, vol. iii. p. 155, where he is stupidly confounded with his father.

Whethers Richard, 115, 209.

Whichwood, to the Ranger and Keepers of the forest of, [in Oxfordshire] 246.

Whistle a, brought, 253.

Perhaps a dog's call, or more likely a call for Hawks. A whistle, was then, however, the insignia of a naval commander. Sir Edward Howard by his will, dated in 1512, bequeathed "his rope of bowed nobles that I hang my great whistle by, containing CCC Angels, to Charles Brandon," afterwards Duke of Suffolk. Testamenta Vetusta, p. 534. The fact of Sir Edward's having thrown his whistle into the sea when forced overboard by the pikes of the enemy in an attack upon some French ships in the harbour of Conquet, is well known.

Wild Fowl brought, 253, 279.

Wil—— Nicholas, 132.

William, Lord, 188, 251.

Most probably Lord William Howard, son of Thomas second Duke of Norfolk, by his second wife Agnes sister and heiress of Sir Philip Tilney of Boston, in Lincolnshire. He is stated by Collins, Ed. 1779, vol. v. p. 15, to have accompanied the King to France in October, 1532, having in his retinue eleven servants and two horse-keepers. At the coronation of Anne Boleyn he performed the duties of Earl Marshal for his brother the Duke of Norfolk, who was then ambassador in France. During the reign of Elizabeth he distinguished himself as High Admiral of England, was created Lord Howard of Effingham, and a Knight of the Garter. From his Lordship sprung the Earls of Nottingham and Effingham, both of which titles are extinct, and the present Lord Howard of Effingham. On the first occasion in which he is mentioned in these Accounts he had won 9li. of the King at Shovel-board, and on the other 40li. were given him "in reward."

The following memoranda of the wines used in England at that and earlier periods, may perhaps be acceptable. In the Vision of Pierce Plowman, we find

"Whyt wine of Osey, and red wine of Gascoyne
Of the Renne, and of the Rochell the rosted to defye,"

mentioned; and in the Northumberland Household Book is an entry of "x ton ij hogisheds of Gascoigne wyne, for the expensys of my house for an hole yere, viz. iij ton of Rede wyne, v tonn of Claret wyne, and ij ton and ij hogisheds of white wyne after iiijl. xiijs. iiijd. the ton."—Ed. 1827, p. 6. In Lodge's Illustrations, vol. i. p. 17, Thomas Allen, in a letter to the Earl of Shrewsbury in 1516, says, "This day I trust to send towards Wyndfield ij tonne wyne; wherof iiij hogshedd claret, ij red wyne, on whit wyne, and th' oder punchin freche wyne. If hit be well carried, I trust your Lordship will lik hit well. Hit will cost vli. vjs. viiid. the tonne, wherof the weynes must have for their labour xxs.;" and in another letter, dated in 1517, Allen informs the Earl; "I have bought iij ton of new Gascon wyne; weather your Lordship woll have new or olde sent downe I cannot tell. Your Lordship comands also iij hogsheds of wyne of —— or of wyne of Graves, and iij hogshedds of suche Frenche white wyne as ye had last yer of John Eston to be send; her is non yet com, neder, as Alen Kyng sheweth unto me, wolbe befor Crismas.

As Alen Kyng sheweth unto me ther was ij vessell of Muscadyne wyne which wer good, the King had on, my Lord Cardinall th' oder."—Ibid. p. 31. Among the expenses of the Household of Thomas Kytson, Esq. printed in Mr. Gage's History and Antiquities of Hengrave, is the following interesting account of the wines used in the reign of Elizabeth, with their prices.—"December 1572, For xiij gallons of Muscedell, at ijs. viijd. the gallon, xxxiiijs. viijd.—for xx gallons j qrt. Malmesey, at ijs. the gallon, with xd. for spoonage, and carriage xljs. viijd.:—for xj gallons iij qrts. Sack, at ij s. the gallon, with iiij d. for spoonage xxiijs. xd.;—for xij gallons j qrt. Rhenish wyne xxiiijs. vjd." p. 193. No notice, however, occurs of Gaillac wine, which we[Pg 364] learn from these Accounts in February, 1530, cost 5l. 8s. per ton; nor are any others than Rhenish and Malmsey wines mentioned in the MS. dated "Apud Eltham mense Jan, 22 Henry VIII," referred to in the Archæologia, vol. iii. p. 156. The total amount expended in wines in the three years embraced by these Accounts, was, 2,516l. 4s.

With a single exception, when 40s. were paid for one with a girdle, these entries refer to presents of wood-knives from the Abbot of Reading. "Query, if a Wood-knife was that short sharp-hanger, couteau de chasse, used in hunting, and with which Sir Tristrem, and other scientific sportsmen dissected their spoil with anatomical precision?"

Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Anthony Browne, and wife of the Earl of Worcester just mentioned. The entry relating to her is of a gratuity given to her nurse and midwife, hence it is certain that her Ladyship was confined early in February, 1530. It must have been one of her younger children to whom she then gave birth, for her eldest son William, third Earl of Worcester, was born in 1527.

York Place, Gardener of, 56, 57, 58, 59, 66.

----, Keeper of, 56.

York Place or York House, now called Whitehall, belonged to the Archbishop of York, and was possessed by Wolsey in right of that See. Henry seized it in 1529, and made it one of his residences.—Hall says, "after Christmas, 1530, he [the King] came to his manor of Westminster, which before was called Yorke Place, for after that the Cardinal was attainted in the Premunire, and was gone north-*ward, he made a feoffement of the same place to the Kyng, and the Chapiter of the Cathedral of Yorke confirmed the same feoffement, and then the King chaunged the name, and called it the Kynges manor of Westminster, and no more Yorke Place." Ed. 1809, p. 774. Abundant proofs, however, exist in these Accounts, that it retained the name of York Place, until the period when they close, December, 1532.

ADDENDA.

It is stated in p. 41, that the next page, i. e. f. 20 of the MS. is missing: the following notes of its contents, however, occur among the extracts made from the MS. by Peter Le Neve, Norroy King of Arms, early in the last century, and which are now preserved in the Lansdowne MS. 737. It will at once be seen that Le Neve has not copied the MS. literally; and there is cause to believe, either that he has omitted a few items, or that there was a mistake in the calculation of the person to whom these Accounts were entrusted. The latter conjecture is the more probable of the two, for Le Neve seems only to have copied the most striking entries.

ADDITIONAL NOTES.

Bird's meat, 66.

Hawk's meat.

Boleyn Lady Ann.

The following are all the pages in which she is mentioned, whether as "my Lady Ann," "Lady Ann Rochford," or as the "Marchioness of Pembroke;" 4, bis, 10, 13, 44, 47, 48, 50, 61, 72, 74, 88, bis, 90, 95, 97, bis, 98, 101, 108, 111, 113, 123, 128, 131, 133, 179, 183, 216, 217, 222, 223, 245, 254, 261, 267, 271, 272, 274, 275, bis, 276, 277, 282, ADDENDA, p. 366.

Bonvice Anthony.

He was a "merchant stranger." "A grudge" between him and other foreigners and some persons in London, is noticed by Hall, ed. 1809, p. 718.

Brakes.

To the other references, p. 60 should have been added.

Brereton William.

Some curious particulars of Brereton will be found in Cavendish's Life of Wolsey, Ed. Singer, vol. ii. p. 34, from which it appears that he was Gentleman of the Chamber, and Steward of the Holt in the Marches of Wales. Cavendish says he had "by colour of justice" produced the execution of one Eton,

"A gentleman born, that thorowghe my myght,
So shamefully was hanged upon a gallowe tree
Oonly of old rankor that roted was in me."

Buttes Dr.

It ought to have been remarked that Dr. Buttes is introduced by Shakespeare into "Henry the Eighth." His portrait occurs in Holbein's picture in Surgeon's Hall of Henry giving the charter to the Company of Surgeons.—Anecdotes of Painting.

Chartesaye.

Chelsea, in p. 309, is an error of the press: the place meant is clearly Chertsey in Surrey.

Crane, Master William.

He was the Master of the Children of the Chapel; and in the Book of Quarterly Payments, 29-33 Henry VIII. an entry occurs of money given to him for the performance of the children, evidently in singing before the King.

Cromer Doctor.

He is described by Cavendish as a "Scots Physician." Ed. Singer, vol. i. p. 222. Henry gave him 100 li. by his will.

Dompne.

It has been since suggested to the Editor by very competent authority, that "Dompne was the old English word for "Dominus," which was often applied to a priest; and that perhaps the equestrian was such another as Sir John Hurt, see p. 330." Upon the correctness of this explanation he cannot however refrain from entertaining great doubts.

Dromslade.

In the account of Queen Elizabeth's Annual Expences among the "Musicians and Players" are "Drumsteds 3, fee apeece 18l. 5s." Dromslade is the Dutch for Drummer.

Gloves.

Gloves are thus noticed in the Vision of Pierce Plowman;

"Yea I have lent lords, that loved me never after
And hath made mani a knight, both mercer and draper
That payd not for his prentishod one paire of glovis."—p. xxiiij.

And again,

"And than gan a wastowre to wrath him and wolde have fought
And to Piers the Plowman he profer'd his glove."

p. xxxiij. Ed. 1550.

Hampton Court, to the feryman at.

To the other references add pp. 26, 255.

Hasilborough, 161.

In Whittlewood forest.

Henxmen.

Besides what has been said on Henxmen or Henchmen, it may be useful to add that "the schoolmaster for the Henxmen" formed part of the royal establishment, and the payment of his wages occurs in the Book of Quarterly Payments, 29-33 Henry VIII. Hall also speaks of such a person: "In the laste moneth called Decembre were taken certain traytors in the citie of Coventry, one called Fraunces Philippe, scholemaster to the Kynges Henxmen," &c. Anno 15 Hen. VIII. Ed. 1809, p. 673.

Howard Lord William. See "William" infra.

Ink horns. Addenda, p. 366.

It may perhaps be worth observing, that in the inventory of the effects of Henry V. we find "1 Penner, et ung Ynk horn d'argent dorrey, pois vj unc', pris l'uncè ijs. vjd." valued at xvs. Rot. Parl. vol. iv. p. 226. Thus it seems the word was applied to a vessel for holding ink rather than to the material of which it was made. Those mentioned in these Accounts must have been very common ones, as a dozen cost only two shillings.

Kildare Earl of.

The wife of this Earl, Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas Marquess of Dorset, received a quarterly pension from the King of 33li. 6s. 8d. Book of Quarterly Payments, 29-33 Hen. VIII.

Kingston Anthony.

"Mr. Anthony Kingston, Warden of the Hawks. Book of Quarterly Payments," 29-33 Hen. VIII.

Latimer Master, for preaching before the King.

It was probably to this occasion that Bishop Latimer alludes in a Sermon preached before the Duchess of Suffolk in 1552. Speaking of a woman who was accused of having killed her child, whom he visited in the prison at Cambridge, and ascertained to be innocent, he says, "Immediately after this I was called to preache before the Kyng, whyche was my firste Sermon that I made before His Majesty, and it was done at Windsor where His Majestye, after the Sermon was done, did most familiarly talke with me in a gallerye. Nowe when I sawe my tyme I kneelyd downe before His Majesty, openynge the whole matter," &c. The story is however too long to be inserted. Fol. 14. Printed at Aldersgate, 1584.

Molino Idrom.

Le Neve says he was an ambassador. Lansd. MSS. 737.

Moret Hubert.

His portrait was painted by Holbein, and engraved by Holler. Walpole's Anecdotes of Painting.

Mules, 260. Addenda, p. 366.

In April, 1530, two mules cost 22l. 10s. and in September, 1532, the sum paid for three was 35l. Thus the price continued very nearly the same.

Norris Sir Henry.

He was gentleman waiter to the King, and was the only person permitted to follow him into his bedchamber. Archæologia, vol. iii. p. 155. Cavendish says he was also Groom of the Stole, vol. ii. p. 25. It would be most unjust to allude, ever so casually to Norris, and omit to state that he was offered a pardon if he would confess that Anne Boleyn was guilty, but that he preferred his honour to his life.

Owche.

An owche also meant bosses, buttons, clasps, or any ornamental trinket. The custom of wearing a brooch, or some kind of ornament, in the front of the hat, is noticed by all our old poets. See Massinger, by Gifford, iv, 213; Jonson, do. ii. 406.—M.

[Pg 371]

Pole Mr. Addenda, p. 365.

Afterwards the celebrated Cardinal Pole, Archbishop of Canterbury. He is said to have been allowed a large pension to enable him to travel into Italy, but of which he was afterwards deprived. The entry in these accounts of 70li. was, it is most probable, a mere gratuity, or present, for we never find another instance of a similar payment. As Pole was then thirty years of age, the title of "the Kings scholar" is curious.

Rat-taker.

The name of the rat-taker in the 30 Hen. VIII. was John Wolley. Book of Quarterly Payments, 29-32 Henry VIII.

Relick water.

It has been suggested whether Relick water was not water in which some relicks had been immersed, with the view of giving it a sanative quality, which was probably supposed to be imparted to those who tasted of, or were sprinkled with it.

Removing day.

This expression was thus used by Henry the Eighth: Sir Thomas More informed Cardinal Wolsey that he asked Henry to dispatch some business on the day on which his letter was written; "his Grace lawghed, and saied, Nay by my fayth, that will not be, for this is my removing day sone at New Hall." Ellis's Original Letters, Second Series, vol. i. p. 293.

Rights.

Much light is thrown upon this word, by the following entry in the Book of Quarterly Payments, 29-33 Hen. VIII.

"Item for the Kingis offeringe this Sonday at taking his Rights in the mornyng, vj s. viij d."

Thus it was clearly connected with a religious duty, though its precise meaning has not been ascertained. It is needless to observe that the conjecture on the subject in p. 347 is decidedly erroneous.

Rowme or Rome.

This word is thus further illustrated: Cavendish makes Brereton say,

"Furnished with romes I was by the kyng,
The best I am sewer he had in my contrie
Stewart of the Holt, a rome of great wynnyng
In the marches of Wales, the which he gave to me."

And imputes to Norris the remark,

"Offices and romes he gave me great plenty."

Ed. Singer, vol. ii. pp. 25, 34.

It is hence obvious that the explanation given in p. 348 is correct.

Sloppes.

This word is further elucidated by the following extract from a letter from Richard Onslow, Recorder of London, dated in February, 1565, stating that in consequence of a recent Proclamation several hosiers had applied to him to know whether they might "lyne a Sloppe hose not cutte in panes wyth a lynung of cotton styched to the Sloppe, over and besydes the lynnen lynyng, and the other lynyng straytt to the legg: whereunto upon consideracyon of the wordes of the proclamacion I answered them all, that I thought surely they could not: and that any loose lynyng not straytt to the legg was not permytted, but for the lynyng of panes only, and that the hole upper stock being in our Sloppe uncutt could not be said to be in panes, wherewith they departed satisfyed. Sythens which tyme dyvers of them have been wyth me and declared that for as moche as they have refused to lyne the slopp so, their customers have gone from them to other hosyers dwellynge without Temple Barr, who not only have so lyned the Slopp, but also have sayd that your Honour hath declared, that they may lawfully so doe."—Ellis's Original Letters, Second Series, vol. ii. p. 307.

Skyppe Master.

A John Skyppe, clerk, was the King's almoner in the 30 Hen. VIII.—Book of Quarterly Payments.

Spurs to the choristers of Windsor, for the King's.

In the time of Ben Jonson, in consequence of the interruptions to divine service occasioned by the[Pg 372] ringing of the spurs worn by persons walking and transacting business in Cathedrals, and especially in St. Paul's, a small fine was imposed on them called spur money, the exaction of which was committed to the beadles and singing boys.—Note to Gifford's Jonson, vol. ii. p. 49.—M. The custom is not yet extinct; but whether the entries referred to in these Accounts were at all connected with it, is at least doubtful, for it must first be shown that it prevailed at so early a period.

Tomb, the King's.

A doubt ought to have been expressed whether the payment in question did not relate to the tomb of Henry the Seventh, though the expression of "the King's tomb" renders it more probable that it referred to one commenced by Henry for himself.

Virginals.

This instrument, with a lady playing upon it, is given in the series of cards so beautifully engraved by Jost Ammin: the fool is in a ludicrous attitude in the back ground. See Singer On Playing Cards, 184. Earle, in his Microcosmography, says, that "She, the precise hypocrite, suffers not her daughters to learn on the Virginals, because of their affinity with organs." p. 97.—M. In the list of "Musicians and Players" in the account of Queen Elizabeth's Annual Expences, p. 266, are, "Virginall players, 3, fee apeece, 30 li." being nearly double as much as was allowed to any other musician.

Waits.

Dr. Pettingall, in his remarks on the "Gule of August," says, "what we at present call 'the waits,' or the music on the nights of the Christmas holydays, is only a corruption of the wakes or nocturnal festivities." Archæologia, vol. ii, p. 66.

Inverteted asterisms are denoted by ⁂.

Pages xii & xliv added missing footnote anchors.

Page xxii corrected footnote numbering errors.

Page 82 changed "JULY" to "OCTOBRE" to agree with previous and following pages.

I & J and U & V were intermixed in the Index in the original.

Corrected placement of out of order Gammage, Sir William and Stuff bought index entries.
