Thus also used by Cavendish: "My lord continued at Southwell until the latter end of _grease-time_," p. 255. Probably grass-time, as both these notices refer to about the middle of June. We find in these accounts an entry of "taking the king's horses to _grysse_," for grass.

Grene William, 107, 182.

Grene, ----, 247, 265.

Greenwich, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 20, 23, 33, 39, 47, 50, 53, 54, 60, 78, 79, 84, 86, 87, 88, 93, 94, _bis_, 96, 103, 110, _bis_, 113, 114, 122, 127, _sæpe_, 128, _bis_, 132, 134, 135, 139, 175, 179, 190, 192, 195, 205, 210, 211, 213, 215, 219, 224, _sæpe_, 228, 256, 275, 276, _bis_, 278, 280, 281, 283, _bis_.

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

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.

Greyhounds, chaste, 58, 174. See CHASTE.

A boat so named.

Grisling William, Mercer, 74, 117.

Grooms, paid to two, 137.

Grysse, [_i. e._ Grass,] the king's horse sent to, 263.

Guard, to the yeomen of the king's, 114.

A list of the yeomen of the Guard in the 17 Hen. VIII. will be found in the _Ordinances for the Royal Household_ made in that year.

----, one of the, sent to fetch a hawk, 115.

----, to one of the, on his marriage, 131, 218.

----, to one of the, for shooting, 135.

"They were originally Archers." --M.

----, to one of the, 151, 197, 223, 269.

Guilford, 62, 63, _sæpe_.

----, to the Friars of, 150.

---- Park, to the keepers of, 150.

---- Sir Edward, 87, 99, 184, 276, 279.

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.

---- Lady, 103, 184.

Guilliam, the Crosbow maker, 19.

----, 25.

----'s Richard Ap, 40, 108.

---- the king's fletcher, 40.

----, Little, of the Private Chamber, 100, 110, 114.

----, Little, to, because he was sick, 94.

----, Little, to a surgeon for curing, 128.

----, Grand, of the Privy Chamber, 114, 130, 141, 210, 245.

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_.

Gun, a hand, brought, 104.

"The name of _hand gun_ succeeded to that of hand-cannon, and when the lock was added, was superseded by that of arquebus." See Specimens of each kind in Skelton's _"Illustrations of Arms and Armour."_ M.

----, for trimming the king's, 194.

Gunner's wife, of the Tower, 105.

Hall Mr., 39.

Hall Richard, 91, 129, 175, 204, 216, 247, 279.

Apparently a groom.

----, the treasurer's servant, 149.

----, Marshall of the King's, 243.

Hampton Court, 22, 25, 27, 43, 53, 55, 56, _bis_, 57, 58, _bis_, 60, _sæpe_, 65, _bis_, 66, 67, 68, _bis_, 75, 77, 79, 80, _bis_, 83, _sæpe_, 89, _ter_, 91, _bis_, 92, _sæpe_, 93, _sæpe_, 101, 139, 140, _bis_, 141, _sæpe_, 142, 144, 145, 147, _sæpe_, 177, 178, 180, 189, 254, _sæpe_, 255, _sæpe_.

Hannibal ----, 197.

Hans, the falconer, 51.

Hanslop Park, to the keeper of, 160, 240.

Harcourt Sir Simon, 248.

Ancestor of the present Earl Harcourt. He distinguished himself at the sieges of Therouenne and Tournay, was knighted at the battle of Spurs, and died on the 16th January, 1547. Collins's _Peerage_. Ed. 1779. Vol. v. p. 268.

Hardwareman, to the king's, 24, 31, 73, 81, 94, 218, 234, 267.

Many of the articles which the "hardwareman" sold prove that the trade to which the word is now applied, differs materially from what it was at the period in question.

Hare, paid for finding a, 157.

Harington ----, a groom, 216, 247.

Harness, [_i. e._ armour "from the Celtic word Haern." M*] expences of bringing from Bologne, 54.

Hartwell Park, to the keeper of, 161, 240.

Harvy Master, 162.

Harvy Sir Nicholas, to the nurse and midwife of his child, 197.

Ancestor of the Marquess of Bristol. He was gentleman of the privy chamber to the king, and one of his favorites. Sir Nicholas was thrice married and had issue by each wife; but it does not appear which child was honored by having the king for one of its sponsors.

Hasilbone, to the keeper of, 161.

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 3_l._ 10_s._ 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.

---- brought, 47, 49, 51, 54, 62, 105, 145, 146, _ter_, 151, 162, 210, 231.

----, paid for fetching a, 115.

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

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

----, meat for, 3, 5, 25, 28, 30, 31, 34, 38, 42, 51, _bis_, 52, 71, 78, 85, 95, _bis_, 116, _bis_, 129, 133, 135, 140, _bis_, 163, 171, 181, 185, _bis_, 198, 200, 212, 216, 221, _bis_, 222, 225, 227, 229, 236, _sæpe_, 253, 254, 259, _bis_, 278, _bis_, 279, 284, _bis_, 286, 288, 289.

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 7_s._ 6_d._ 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 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 40_s._ 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 9_l._ 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.

Hermit of Deptford, to the, 150, _bis_.

Herington Rowland, 279.

Herytage Maister, 6, 40, 49.

Query, if not intended for Sir Thomas Hennage just mentioned.

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.

Holt, to the deputy of the, 151.

Honyson Guilliam, jeweller, 91.

Horden Thomas, 67.

Horns trimmed [probably for mounted] by the jeweller, for, 184.

Horses. See Gelding.

---- brought, 12, 13, 16, 54, 175, 211, 224, 245, 282.

----, for healing the king's, 20.

----, the day on which they ran, 25.

----, for drink given to the king's, 31.

----s' medicines, for the king's, 31, 118.

----, food for, 132.

---- Barbary, to the keeper of the, 133. See BARBARY.

----, to the yeoman of the, 137.

----, paid the expenses of taking the king's to grass, 142, 263.

----, food for the stalking, 194.

----, a stalking, brought, 162. See STALKING.

----, paid for the hire of, 193.

----, to a boy that ran the Barbary, 199. See BARBARY.

----, to the keeper of the Barbary horse, and for a bath for it, 204, 218.

----, to a Dompne, for riding two at once, 218. See DOMPNU.

----, 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 33_l._ 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 95_l._ 14_s._ 10_d._ _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 37_l._, and on another 53_l._ were paid for horses; and that 7_l._ 10_s._ 3_l._ 6_s._ 8_d._ and 6_l._ 13_s._ 4_d._, 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 4_l._ 13_s._ 6_d._ _Archæologia_, vol. xxi. p. 473.

Horse, Master of the, 41, 54, _bis_, 88, 89, 91, 100, 132, 139, 164, 175, 176, 196, 197, 209, 250, 257, 260.

Sir Anthony Browne, Knt.

Horsley Park, keeper of, 61.

Hosen, for, 11, _bis_, 18, _bis_, 19, 23, 30, 38, 44, 54, 61, 66, 73, 86, 94, 98, 109, 119, 122, 133, 136, 137, 138, 155, 164, 170, 175, 186, 200, 219, _bis_, 237, 238, _bis_, 263, 265, 279, 283.

Hosen Points, 283.

Strings to fasten the hosen.

Hounds, the king's private, 49.

---- at Woodstock, for conveying and keeping of the, 50.

----, for keeping young, 50, 178.

---- brought, 60, 62, _bis_, 64, 65, 72, 144, 149, 152, 153, 154, _bis_, 167, 232, 240, 241, 242.

----, paid for finding the, 73.

----, to the keeper of the king's, for his wages, 92. See RAYNESFORD.

----, paid for sending the, from Ewelme to Woodstock, 154, and, _ibid._ to Oxford, 156.

----, paid for removing them, 161, 165, 167, 168, 232, 234, 238, 241, 244, 246, 248, 249, 253, 260.

----, to the keeper of the king's private, 290.

Hounslow, to the Friars of, 41, 127, 208.

Hounsdon, 72, 73, 76, 81, 177, 235.

----, for the king's buildings at, 42, 60, 111, 136, 161, 174, 210.

----, to the keeper of, 72, 168, 172.

----, to the Priest at, for tythes, 214.

Hounworth Park, keeper of, 49, 66, 142, 255.

House, paid for the rent of a, for Ambassadors, 74.

----, for the rent of a, 79, 125, 182, 209, 230, 265. See HENCHMEN.

----, 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.

Hoyson William, Jeweller, 4.

Hubart, James. See HOBART.

Hugh, Old, 37, 38.

Hugh, Young, 38, 52, _bis_.

Hungary, for the expenses of the Ambassadors of, at Stoney-Stratford, 160.

Hunting, money lost at a wager in, 162, 163.

---- fish at Greenwich, 219.

Hunts, to the, 73.

---- 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 22_s._ 6_d._ 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.

Hutton Thomas, 169.

Jacson ----, 146, 218, 253, 267.

----, the hardwareman, 146, 165.

James, the Hen taker. See HEN-TAKER and PURVEYOR OF HENS.

Jasper, falconer.

----, the gardener of Beaulie. See BEAULIE.

---- Aisle in St. Paul's, Proctor of, 114, 169.

Jewell house, 64.

----, 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 20_l._ 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.

Sir William Kingston, K. G. a memorable person in this reign. He filled the office of Comptroller of the Household, and Constable of the Tower of London, and was a Privy Councillor. He died in 1541.

---- 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 20_l._
