[722] Ibid.; Birch, i. 133 (Jan. 29), ‘The prince went on Saturday to Royston, called thither from his martial sports of tilt, tourney, and barrier, which he followed so earnestly, that he was every day five or six hours in armour. The rest of the time was spent in---- and every night a play, in all which exercises the Lord Cranbourne attended him, keeping an honourable table all the while they were at Greenwich, and grows daily into his favour.’ The plays of Jan. 12 and 13 were certainly and those of Jan. 15, 19, 21, almost certainly at Greenwich. An extant challenge to tilt of 1612 (Clephan, 133, 176, from _Harl. MS._ 4888) may be of this period.

[779] This payment was by warrant of the Lord Chamberlain.
[780] P. C. Acts name Westcote.
[781] On the unrewarded plays of 1563–4 and 1564–5, cf. ch. vii.
[782] In P. C. Acts, by an obvious error, £7 13_s._ 8_d._
[783] P. C. Acts specify ‘Shrove Tuesday’.
[784] Apparently one play was unrewarded.
[785] P. C. Acts describe the company as Lane’s, and put the performance 26 Dec., Windsor 27 Dec., and Paul’s 1 Jan.
[786] P. C. Acts give payees as ‘Lawrence Dutton and his fellows’. Wallace, i. 213, states in error that this and the next payment are not in _D. A._
[787] P. C. Acts give payee as ‘----, Master of the Children of Westminster’.
[788] Wallace, i. 215, reads ‘cumyng’ in error.
[789] In view of the date in the warrant, the ‘Monday’ of the Revels Accounts should clearly be ‘Sunday’.
[790] The _D. A._ give all three plays on Shrove Sunday, but Cunningham has Shrove Monday for Warwick’s and omits Muncaster’s, which may have been on the Tuesday, although two plays were sometimes given on the same night.
[791] The _D. A._ give Sunday before Shrovetide, which might mean either Shrove Sunday (Mar. 4) or the preceding Sunday (Feb. 26).
[792] P. C. Acts name John Dutton, as well as Lawrence, and put Muncaster’s play on Sunday. It is safer to follow _D. A._
[793] As the entry stands, it should refer to Warwick’s, but I think it probably does refer to Leicester’s.
[794] P. C. Acts have Chamberlain’s for Howard’s.
[795] As two plays on one night are exceptional, it is safer to follow the Revels Account.
[796] The £10 payment has now become normal, but to the end of the reign is stated, usually but not invariably, as made up of £6 13_s._ 4_d._ with a ‘more’ sum of £3 6_s._ 8_d._, by way of Her Majesty’s ‘rewarde’, ‘speciall rewarde’, or ‘further liberalitie and rewarde’.
[797] The Pipe Office _D. A._ date Sunday, Jan. ‘firste’. Jan. 5 was Sunday; the ‘fifte’ of A. O. (Wallace, i. 220) is right.
[798] Presumably the Revels Accounts put this play on 4 Jan. in error.
[799] The 27 Dec. of Revels Accounts is preferable.
[800] P. C. Acts give Shrove Sunday for the Chamberlain’s as well as Warwick’s.
[801] Both the ‘Twesday’ of the Pipe Office and the ‘Tewsday’ of the Audit Office (Wallace, i. 223) _D. A._ are doubtless errors for ‘Twelfday’. P. C. Acts have ‘Twelfte Daye’.
[802] P. C. Acts give Shrove Sunday (Feb. 9).
[803] P. C. Acts give 23 Dec., obviously in error.
[804] So P. C. Acts.
[805] P. C. Acts do not name Ottewell, and call the company the Admiral’s.
[806] P. C. Acts give 27 Dec.
[807] Cf. p. 56.
[808] Dasent reads ‘Flemings’.
[809] P. C. Acts have ‘John’ Shawe.
[810] So P. C. Acts.
[811] For a discussion of these entries, cf. p. 136.
[812] For a discussion of these entries, cf. p. 140.
[813] The payment is for 12 plays; one date [13 Jan.?] is obviously omitted.
[814] Cunningham gives the date as 16 Jan.
[815] This item is entered in Account for 1612–13; _Rawl. MS_. gives the date.
[816] Cunningham gives this date as 18 Feb.
[817] The dates of the Prince’s, Lady Elizabeth’s, and Revels plays are given by _Rawl. MS._ but not _D. A._
[818] This is probably the play of 20 Oct. in the Cockpit to which (Birch, i. 198) Elizabeth invited Frederick.
[819] Both _D. A._ and Cunningham, xliii, have the error for £46 13_s._ 4_d._ Both records also date the King’s men’s plays of this winter as ‘1614’ instead of ‘1613’.
[820] So _D. A._, but Cunningham’s 28 Dec. is more probable.
[821] Henceforward play payments are by warrant from Lord Chamberlain, not Privy Council; cf. ch. vii.
[822] This item is entered in the Account for 1615–16.
[823] This item is entered in the Account for 1616–17.
