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.

----, 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.
