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.

----, 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.

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.

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;
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.

Apparelling for the, of a falconer, 39.

Appeached [query impeached], to one that impeached Massy, 69.

Apples brought, 36, 78, 147, 178, 181, 186, 237, 242, 258, 265, 266,
282, 283.

Apples, Quene brought, 163.

Armacan, Bishop of, 104.

The Bishop of Armagh, in Ireland, which See was then filled by John
Kite, who resigned it in 1531.

Armerer, William the king's footman's wife, 17, 78, 84, _bis_, 104,
122, 197, _bis_, 217.

Armeston Clement, 112.

Armourer at Windsor, to the, 155.

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 8_l._ 19_s._ as well as from the word "making," it
would seem that the royal arms were in this instance carved.

Arnolde Henry, the shoe-maker, 219, 281.

Arras for, 59, 215.

Arrows for, 40, 47, 265.

----, paid for shooting, 50.

----, paid for forked, 50.

----, brought, 64, 83.

Arrow head's given the King, 216.

Arthur the luter, 131.

Artichokes brought, 72, 77, 117, 142, 163, 169, 218, 220, 224, 232.

Arundel Earl of, 146.

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

Arundell Master, 60.

Probably Sir John Arundel, ancestor of the present Lord Arundel of
Wardour. He was made a Knight of the Bath in 1495, and a Knight
Banneret at Tournay, and died in 1545.

Ashrigge, 67, _bis_.

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.

Aston Master, 244.

Astronomer, to Nicholas the, for mending a clock, 130.

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, 4_l._, 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 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.

Barge, the king's, Johnson the master of, 7, 8, 10, 125, 182, 192,
230.

----, to the master of the Queen's, 107.

----, the king's new, 44, 155.

----, 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 30_l._ and upon another Vincent
the painter was paid for the "trimming," by which is probably meant
slightly painting and ornamenting, 15_l._ 4_s._ 9_d._ The best
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.

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, 2_l._ 13_s._ 4_d._

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*.

bath for it, 204. _See_ Barbary.

Bartelot Doctor, 146.

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; 7_s._ 2_d._ 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 5_s._ a month, but in others the 5_s._ 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 20_s._ 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.

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 coeperunt 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 C_s._ 'The teaster of tynsell
and blake vellvett with armes, havynge curtains of sylke, with
frynges, 20_l._'"--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 40_s._ 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 7_s._ 2_d._ 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.

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.

Bills for bringing such as were assigned, 267.

"Bill", in both instances appears to be orders for payments. In the
last, 23_s._ 4_d._ 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.

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 35_l._ 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.

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.

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 11_s._ 3_d._
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 3_l._
11_s._

---- 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.

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 2_s._ 3_d._ 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 4_l._ 4_s._ 8_d._

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 3_l._ 6_s._ 8_d._

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.

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.

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