PEREGRINE TOWNELEY, ESQ. EDWARD VERNON UTTERSON,' ESQ. REV. HENRY WELLESLEY, M. A. INTRODUCTION. This volume is printed from two manuscripts in the. Library of the Society of Antiquaries, London : they are originals, and must have once belonged to Sir John Howard, successively Lord Howard and Duke of Norfolk, who was killed on Bosworth Field, fighting under the banners of Richard IH. In what manner, and at what period they came into the possession of the Society of Antiquaries does not appear ; but one of the manuscripts, the latest in point of date, seems formerly to have been the property of Martin of Palgrave, the indorsement on the cover (p. 279) having been made by him : we may, perhaps, presume that the other manuscript was also in his hands, but the indorsement upon it (p. 1) is obviously contemporaneous with the later portion of the contents. Both remained unnoticed until attention was directed to them in " The History of English Dramatic Poetry and the Stage," 8vo. 1831, Vol. L p. 28. The Council of the Society of Antiquaries has recently, and in the most liberal manner, given permission that transcripts of them should be made under the care of the Editor, in order that they might be printed by the Roxburghe Club. They may be said to form a sequel to the volume presented to the mem- bers by Mr. Botfield in 1841 ; for, although there is an interval in point of time and information which we have no means of supplying, they relate to the household expenses and other charges of the same nobleman as the family accounts printed by Mr. Botfield in the later portion of his contribution : those accounts extend, with some irregularities, from November 1462, to a about the same season of the year 1469 ; while the manuscripts now under consideration apply chiefly to the period between the Spring of 1481 and the Autumn of 1483, comprising a very interesting and important portion of our history, regarding which not a few of our existing details are contradictory or imperfect. Hence one great source of the value of the manuscripts of which the body of the ensuing volume is composed, since they afford minute and authentic testimony regarding public events in which the Duke of Norfolk was personally and prominently concerned. Towards the close of the present volume some information is given regard- ing the proceedings of the Earl of Oxford in raising troops for the service of Henry VII. in 1487 5 and the latest portion of the work consists of particulars of the domestic expenditure of the Earl of Surrey, son to the Duke of Norfolk the faithful adherent of Richard III. The Earl of Surrey, as is well known, was restored to that title 1489 ; and the accounts of his household commence in January 1490, and apply to the whole of that year. The covers of the two manuscripts in question establish how much curious and interesting information of the same kind has been irretrievably lost, by the disregard in which such relics were formerly held. The earliest of the two is bound in. parchment upon which nothing beyond the indorse- ment has been written, but it is lined by some pages of an original book of disbursements kept on paper by the Duke of Norfolk in his own hand- writing. These entries, in particular, show the extreme attention which his Grace paid even to the most trifling matters relating to the daily expenses of his household. The following extracts, which are distinctly legible, detail what portion of the family provisions had been given out for consumption, and how much remained in store for future use : the year is wanting, but we may perhaps conjecture, that the items refer to a date before Sir John Howard was raised to the peerage. " The Wednesday, xviij. day of november, in iij. honderd sprotes [sprats] iiij.d. ob. In heges [eggs] v.d. — In store ij. saltfes [saltfish] j. lenge, [ling] iij. heles, [eels] xxx. heges.

"The Saterday xxj. day of november, in sperlynge ij.d. — In store half a lenge, j. saltefes, j. stokefes [stockfish] xxx. heges." Other memoranda of the same description are legible, but they convey no farther information :. the regular payments to the Steward (then a person of the name of Lelsey) in the month of February (the year is not given) are also duly registered by the Duke of Norfolk, but the sums have in every instance been cut or torn away. The cover of the second manuscript is also of parchment, and the lining of it is of the same material ; and here we have to regret still more the almost total destruction of the original record, which, however, was not kept by the Duke of Norfolk in English, but in Latin by some scribe employed by him. Only parts of it can be made out, in consequence of the destruction of the ink, and of the difl&culty of separating the lining from the exterior, both hav- ing been strongly pasted together. It obviously relates to a time when Lord Howard was in South Wales, and resident, perhaps only for a short period, in Swansea Castle, where he was in communication with the Duke of Gloucester, afterwards Richard III. It also seems that Lady Howard accompanied her husband, and the document, even in the state in which it has reached us, affords evidence of an expedition of which we have no previous information, as regards the nobleman to whose affairs the manuscripts relate. It must have occured in the Autumn of 1479, as the date of September 19th Edw. IV. is once inserted. It is not easy to decypher part of these entries, but the following items may be quoted. " Item sol. Jankyn Bacham mundant. stablum Domini infra Castrum per. div. vices ij.d. " Item sol. Thorn. M'^. et Jankyn Broke pro iiij. tabul. ab iisdem empt. IV per precept, dom. apud Ewan Lloyd, situand. pro cur. dom. tempore ducis Gloucestre apud Sweynesey vij.d. " Item sol. Cro. apud Gwyllym Ewyn taylour facient. vij. togas, raparac. pro domina iiij.s.

" Solut. pro passag. ejus serviens Ducis Gloucestrie ad suos advent, apud Swynessey mensis Sep. A.° xix.° viij.d." These memoranda do not follow each other, but are legible in diflFerent parts of the lining of the second manuscript. The earliest manuscript, which is also most bulky in size, being a folio of two hundred and fifteen leaves, commences with two pages of tabular calcu- lations, as to the cost of pay and victuals for various numbers of soldiers in succession : these it has not been thought necessary to transcribe, as they are not very intelligible, and convey no information that is not found in more detail in other parts of the volume. It then proceeds to some important historical matters, including a Ust of the ships (with their crews and the wages of the men) which attended Lord Howard on his voyage to Scotland after he had engaged with Edward IV., on the 23rd of February 1481, to be his " Lieute- nant and Captain," with three thousand landmen and mariners under his orders. The terms of the " indenture " between the King and Lord Howard are recited in the manuscript, and to it are added the separate ?igreements between Lord Howard and Lord Cobham, Sir Harry Wentv/orth, and other inferior commanders. These particulars of naval preparation, mixed up with other matters of victualling and equipment, occupy nearly the first hundred pages of the following work ; and as we apprehend they are quite new in their kind, (at all events of so early a period) and serve to fix the dates of some interesting public events, we may rather rejoice that they are given with such minuteness, than that so large a space is filled by them. It need hardly be mentioned that this expedition against Scotland was headed by Richard, Duke of Gloucester, who had about twenty-three thou- sand men under his standard ; and the accounts in question prove that the naval portion of the armament, consisting of fifteen ships, the names of which are inserted, departed from Harwich on the 20th of May 1481 : we also learn that Lord Howard returned home on the 1 7th of August following, although his stipulated time of service did not expire until the 30th of that month. Without here entering into minor points, we may notice that on the 17th of June the fleet was off Scarborough ; that on the 24th of the same month it was " afore Ynskyth ;" that on the 3rd of July it was near Ynchcombe (we observe the ancient orthography of the names of places) where it remained until the 19th of July, if not longer, and returned to Harwich, the port from which it had set sail, on the 1 7th of August : at all events, as already stated, that seems to have been the day when Lord Howard landed, and arrived at his abode at Stoke. During this interval Lady Howard, (Lord Howard's second wife, Margaret, daughter of Sir John Chedworth) after having taken leave of her husband at Harwich, seems to have resided constantly at the family seat in Suffolk ; and it is to be remarked that the person who kept the book of household charges, when he made an entry on p. 98 of our volume, had not ascertained what sum Lady Howard had expended during the absence of the King's " Lieu- tenant and Captain " on the Scottish voyage. As we have been hitherto entirely without materials for a biography of this celebrated nobleman at this period, and as the manuscripts before us in many respects amply supply the deficiency, it wiU not be uninteresting to advert to some of his personal proceedings, as they are there disclosed. It wiU be seen, as we advance, that those proceedings were more or less connected with im- portant historical incidents. Lord Howard appears to have gone to London, no doubt to have an inter- view with Edward IV. and to give an account of his voyage, very soon after his return from Scotland;' for we find him at his house at Stepney on the ' According to a memorandam on p. 56 Lord Howard must have been at one period of VI 29th of August (p. 103) and two days earlier he had given a reward to " the waits of London." He was at Stoke again in the beginning of Septem- ber, and remained in the country superintending his domestic and agricultu- ral affairs, in the latter of which he seems to have taken much interest, until the end of October, when he again visited the metropolis, (p. 126) and on this occasion, if not on the former, he was accompanied by Lady Howard. He continued in town, visiting the court at Greenwich, Windsor, &c. until the 28th of November, and registered in his own hand, (p. 138) the cost of certain presents of plate, &c. which he made to the Lord Chamberlain, to the Bishop of Ely, to the Lord Mayor, and to his " cousin Borow.'^ Such gifts on his part were rare, and in what way these personages had entitled themselves to them can only be matter of conjecture, as nothing whatever is said of any obUgations they had conferred : possibly, they had been instru- mental in making pecuniary advances to Lord Howard preparatory to his voyage, but as his Lordship's book of receipts is not known to be extant, although sometimes referred to in the book of expenditure, we have no means of deciding the point. He spent Christmas at Colchester, of the castle of which town he had been made Constable in 1461 : he returned to Stoke about the 10th of January, and on the I7th of that month he attended "the sessions " at Ipswich, and remained there three days. He seems to have been very desirous of keeping on good terms with the Lord Chamberlain, for when Lord Howard came to London on the 31st of January he presented Lord Hastings with a pipe of wine j and a fortnight afterwards he gave the King's mother, " three yards and a half of white russet" that cost ten crowns and a half,' (p. 169). On the 15th of February he presented the Duke of Gloucester with eight cross-bows, seven of wood his life at Bordeaux, but at what date and for what purpose seems uncertain : it is hardly likely that it would have been so long ago as 1467, when he was appointed a commissioner for the arrangement of a peace with France. While at Bordeaux he had lent a sum of 33«. Ad. to a person of the name of Whitefoot, of Colchester, which was reckoned in ac- count between them on the 26th of April. ' By a Patent, 8 Edw. IV., a grant had been made to Sir John Howard of the profits upon coinage, and on p. 169 will be seen several entries connected with this grant, and with " the Mint in Yorkshire." vu and one of steel, and quitted London for Colchester on the next day. He spent but a few days at Colchester, because he was at Stoke by the 23rd of February. His movements were rapid for a period when travelling was so bad, slow, and inconvenient, and he was again in the metropolis on the- 5th of March : at this date the court seems to have been at Eltham,' whither Lord Howard proceeded (p. 179) ; and it appears singular that he should have arrived so soon after the anniversary of the Coronation of Edward IV., and should not have been present at its celebration : the dates however in this part of the manuscript are somewhat confusedly inserted, and it is pro- bable that Lord Howard was at Eltham on the 4th of March, although the entry for the payment of his "horse-meat" there bears date on the next day. He had left Lady Howard at Stoke, and remained absent from home an unusually long time, and it seems not unlikely that he made a voyage to France on some royal mission : at this date we find that he gave a reward to a person called Richard of Calais ; but it should be added that we meet with his name in other parts of the accounts. Certain it is, that Lord Howard was at Dartford, Rochester, Sittingbourne, Canterbury and Dover at this period, perhaps on his way to Calais, though nothing is said of his having crossed the sea. He did not reach Stoke again until quite the close of April, or the beginning of May, so that his absence on this occasion was nearly of two months' duration. What gives greater probability to the opinion that Lord Howard upon this occasion was in France is the fact, that on the 21st of April he paid £\. 16s. 8d. for "a grey nag to send to the French King" (p. 181) ; and under the same date we find him sending four shillings to Garter King at Arms for making out his Lordship's coat, and perhaps his style, which it was usual for those employed upon foreign embassies to present. It will be recollected that he had been similarly commissioned on two or three former occasions. He did not long remain at Stoke, for after settUng various accounts, 1 Hasted in his History of Kent, vol. I. p. 51, tells us that "Edward IV. repaired Eltham Palace with much cost." particularly the expenditure of Lady Howard while he was away, he started again for London, having been summoned on the preceding day by a messenger from the King. (p. 189.) He travelled with unusual speed, as he reached London on the same day he quitted Stoke, although the journey commonly occupied two days. Lady Howard was again left in the country. Between the 13th and 16th of May we find in the accounts several charges for boat-hire to Westminster and Lambeth. On the 16th of May Lord Howard received twelve pounds as " his fee from the King's mother ;" and from the mention of money paid by him at St. Helen's a few days afterwards, we may conclude that he visited the Duke of Gloucester at Crosby House : this was on the very day of his departure from the metro- polis, 20th of May, and it may deserve remark that he had just previously sent one of his confidential servants, Thomas Seynclow, into Flanders. Lord Howard was at Colchester on the 22nd of May, and at Stoke two days afterwards. At this date he appears to have put on mourning : he paid a saddler for a saddle and harness covered with black, and his tailor for a black satin doublet, and a black cloth cloak. Edward IV. was at Fotheringay at the close of May, and thither Lord Howard hastened on the last day of that month to join the royal party (p. 204.) The items, and other circumstances, make it certain that it was a sporting expedition,' and it continued for about a fortnight, Lord Howard having reached his home again on the 14th of June. On the 24th of June he gave two shillings to a person of the name of Posted " the Keeper of the King's lion," and on the 24th of June he sent a messenger to London ; but he did not go thither himself until the 13th of July. The King was at this period at Dover (p. 216), and there Lord Howard joined him, possibly to assist with his advice respecting the repairs of the Castle, then in progress.^ However, he was only a short time absent, for we find him returning by 1 During his absence from home Lord Howard was at Cambridge, Huntingdon, Melford, and Sudbury, perhaps in the King's company, although nothing is said of his Majesty. 2 In Hasted's History of Kent, IV. 63, we are informed that Edward IV. " by the advice of Lord Cobham expended £ 10,000 in repairing and fortifying the several worlds, and beautifying the apartments of Dover Castle." IX barge from Gravesend on the 21st of July. He merely passed through London, for on the next day he was at Chelmsford, and on the 24th of July at the house of his son. Sir Thomas Howard, and quitted it for Stoke on the 27th of July. We might infer, if we attended only to the contents of the first manuscript, that Lord Howard remained in the country superintending his harvesting and other agricultural employments until the middle of Oc- tober, did we not learn from the second manuscript, that between the end of July and the middle of October he several times left home to attend the King, and for other purposes. The first manuscript abruptly abandons the agricultural details, by which it had been occupied for many pages, on the 14th of October, 1482, and reverts to the subject with which it commenced, the agreement of Lord Howard with the King to do him service at sea with a stipulated number of ships and men, and upon certain conditions. The dates here refer back to the 20th Edw. IV. ; and there is little doubt that at that period the beginning and end of the volume were used for these particulars, and the middle being left blank and not required for them, it was subsequently employed for the insertion of items of domestic expenditure. Some of the details respecting armour, pay, &c. at the conclusion of the first manuscript are not very intelligible ; they are loosely and hastily written, and we may speculate that they were inserted very shortly before the sailing of the armament to Scotland. On p. 274 wiU. be seen a copy of original instructions by the King to Lord Howard : these bear date 6th of July, 1481, and in them the Lord Admiral is directed " to keep the sea " near Leith, until the last day of August, but subsequent orders may have been sent out to him (of which there is however no trace in the manuscript) because it has been already shown that he reached home by about the middle of August. The second manuscript, forming nearly the latter half of the ensuing volume, and consisting of 138 leaves, begins on the 22nd of August^ in the 22nd Edward IV., 1482, and as the first manuscript has furnished us with various items in September and October of the same year, the two are to a certain extent concurrent ; but they were kept by different scribes, and b relate to difFerent transactions. We shall now briefly follow up the biography of Lord Howard and his family, according to the materials supplied by the second manuscript. On the first page of it we find, that on the 2nd of August, 1482, Lord Howard rode towards London, leaving Lady Howard at Stoke : he arrived on the 4th of August, and from various memoranda it is evident that at this date building to a considerable extent was going on at Stoke. On the 30th of August he bought two " aparaylls " fas they are termed) for chimneys, and a ton of " cane-stone " of the Prior of St. Mary Overy, in Southwark : about the same date Lady Howard at Stoke paid certain sums on account to " the brickman," to carters who brought timber, and to the carpenter for " the new building." Lord Howard returned home on the 9th of September, and seems to have taken Havering atte Bower (where, possibly, the Court then temporarily resided) in his way. The King was certainly at Walsing- ham in the middle of the month, and there he was joined by Lord Howard (p. 294.) who accompanied Edward IV. in a progress through some parts of the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk. When he parted from the King, Lord Howard seems to have rejoined his Lady at Stoke ; but he only remained there for a short time, as he again started for London, and reached it on the 27th of October. Under date of the 12th of November, (p. 312) we meet with an important, but not very intelligible entry of the payment of forty shillings " for having out the Great Seal for my Lord to Flanders, for the matter of the Duke of Austria," as if Lord Howard had been employed under the authority of a royal commission to make a journey into Flanders upon aff'airs connected with the Duke of Austria : perhaps this was subsequent to his return, for three days after- wards he repaired to Stoke, where he spent Christmas : early in January he had an entertainment in his mansion, known at that date by the name of " a disguising, " which seems to have consisted of dumb show and dancing in masquerade. Some of the particulars of the cost are inserted in the manuscript, (p. 339). and they form a very curious assemblage of items for the purpose : we know of no similar account of so early a date, especially relating XI to a " disguising " in the private dwelling of a nobleman, and the details of court revels at this period are so scanty and deficient, that these memoranda are the more valuable. Lord Howard was present at the election of the Knights of the Shire at Ipswich early in January (the day is not mentioned) ; but it does not appear that he contributed any part of the expenses, beyond the cost of his own personal accommodation (p. 343.) and that of the ten horsemen who attended him. The bill upon this occasion forms, in many respects, a contrast to that in Mr. Botfield's volume (p. 398.) when Lord Howard, then Sir John Howard, was chosen one of the representatives for the county of Suifolk, his colleague being a gentleman of the name of Thomas Brewse. The Knights elected in January, 22 Edw. IV. are not named, but Lord Howard was certainly not one of them, as at that date he had been raised to the peerage. On the 19th of January he proceeded to London to attend the Parliament, (p. 346) and had more then thirty horsemen in his retinue, whose expenses he of course defrayed. The sitting was not of long duration, as he took his departure again on the 22nd of February, and on the 25th of that month was at Colchester " to keep the sessions," and was at home by the 1st of March : five days afterwards, for some unexplained reason, another sessions was kept at Colchester, at which Lord Howard was also present. On the 4th of April, 1483, Lord Howard received a letter fi-om the King by a royal messenger (p. 378) and, probably in consequence of it, went to London three days afterwards, where he arrived on the 9th of April, the very day of the decease of Edward IV. Stow makes it doubtful whether the sudden death of the King were owing to " melancholy and anger " at the double deaUng of the French King in the marriage of the Dauphin with the Princess Elizabeth, or to a surfeit " to the which Edward IV. was greatly given ;" and he tells us, that Lord Howard had lately returned from France with the news of the marriage between the Dauphin and Margaret of Austria; but we meet with no trace of such a journey in these accounts, nor is anything said of the demise of the crown. Henceforward the proceedings of Lord Howard, in connexion with pubhc aifairs, will evidently become more xn important, and we shall therefore trace them in the manuscript before us with greater minuteness. After having dispatched a letter to Stoke fprobably to Lady Howard who had been left there) on the 11th of April, Lord Howard dined with the Lord Chamberlain, for on that day he gave the cooks a reward. On the 14th of April he received a letter from his son, Sir Thomas Howard, and on the 15th another from Stoke, no doubt, in reply to that he had sent four days be- fore. On the 17th of April he bought a quantity of black cloth for mourn- ing, and on the 19th he went to Windsor, but he was in London again on the 21st of April. Lady Howard must have come to town in the interval between the 2 1st of April and the 1st of May; and on the 9th of May Lord Howard seems to have divested himself of a considerable part of his retinue, having sent away twenty-six men of Hadleigh and Stoke, and twelve men of Neyland and Chelmsford, who had accompanied him to the metropolis. Under date of the 15th of May, 1 Edward V., we meet with a remarkable entry, proving in what way Lord Howard endeavoured to ingratiate him- self with the Protector, for he presented him with a gold cup and cover, weighing no less than 65 ounces. This memorandum is twice inserted in the manuscript on following pages, (p. 391 and 392 of our impression) for having been first made in one place, it was for some unexplained reason erased there, and added afterwards : the precise value of the gift is not stated in either instance, nor is any hint given on what account it was presented. It may, possibly, not be too much to infer from this circumstance, that other members of the aristocracy sought in a similar manner to pay their court to the most influential, if not the highest, authority in the realm. On the 17th of May, two days after he had made his present. Lord Howard received " a writ for the Parliament '■* about to be assembled, and on the 1 8th of May he paid six shillings and eight pence " for his letters patent for the Duchy." This entry, perhaps, does not relate to his own dukedom, which was not conferred until more than a month afterwards, but to some grant in connection with the Duchies of Lancaster or Cornwall, consequent perhaps upon the gift of the cup of gold only three days before : it is not XIU unlikely, however, that the gift of the cup of gold followed the grant, and was intended as a complimentary return for it. As Constable of the Tower, (an office to which he succeeded in 1482, the reversion having been conceded to him in 1477) it would be the duty of Lord Howard to superintend the preparations for receiving the young Princes there; and under the date of the 21st of May (p. 394) we meet with several notices of money paid for repairs, and especially " for making of three beds :" possibly, one of these was the very bed in which the young Princes were sub- sequently smothered, (if indeed such were their fate) and the mention of two sacks of lime, in immediate connection with the memoranda regarding the beds, may appear somewhat remarkable. On the 27th of May a privy seal was sent to Lord Howard, but no- thing is said of the nature or object of it : on the same day he dispatched a messenger to his son, Sir Thomas, and on the 2nd of June one of his own servants went " to fetch Lord Cobham," while Lord Howard paid a visit by water to Lord Lisle. On the 5th of June the Protector made Lady Howard a present of " a box of wafers,'' and on the next day a sum was paid for her " standing in Cheap," or Cheapside, (p. 399) no doubt to view the pro- cession in the City, after what Sir Thomas More calls " the mock-election " of Richard HI. About this date Lord Howard seems to have taken some steps for the more permanent residence of his family in the metropolis, and various items are inserted in the manuscript, under date of the 11th of June, for rather extensive repairs to his lordship's " place in London." It may deserve notice, that Lady Howard appears to have directed the expenditure. Sir Thomas More informs us, that the day after his mock election Richard in. went to Westminster, sat himself down in the Court of King's Bench, and made a very gracious speech to the assembly there present : the manu- script shows (p. 402) that on the 16th of June Lord Howard employed no fewer than eight boats to carry him to and from Westminster. Although the expense of the boats was paid on the 16th of June, they may in fact have been hired and used on the day Richard III. went to Westminster, and took his seat in the Court of King's Bench. PresentSj especially of venison, seem now to have flowed in upon Lord Howard : he was on the point of being advanced to the dukedom of Norfolk, and his influence with the new King must have been well known : hence, probably, the gifts of bucks from Lords Audeley, Cobham and others, who were naturally anxious to stand well in his favour. Lord Howard was created Duke of Norfolk and Earl Marshal of England on the 28th of June, and on the 1st of July the Duchess of Norfolk (called " my lady's grace " in the manuscript, p. 406) paid three pounds for " my Lord's letters patent of the dukedom," and eighteen shillings and three pence for what is called " the sealship " of them.' No doubt, an entertainment was given upon the occasion, for, including four pounds to the Cator, £8. 4s. 3d. were spent in household expenses, although the sum laid out daily, in provisions &c. for the family, had usually been much smaller, sometimes not exceeding about as many shillings. It is needless here to enter into particulars upon the subject, but the manuscript proves, as might be expected, that after the elevation of Lord Howard to the Dukedom of Norfolk the charges of his household were much augmented. On the 1st of July a large quantity of blue, red, and tawney cloth was purchased for the new liveries (p. 412) and the Duke had already given forty shillings to two joiners " in part payment for his tipped staves." There are several memoranda, under date of the 19th of July, relating to the Coronation of Richard III., but the particular day of that event is not stated : boats were paid for on " the Saturday before the Coronation," as weU as on " the Sunday following, " and for the Duchess " when she came down from the Coronation.'' Three boats were hired when the Duke of Norfolk paid two visits to the Duke of Buckingham ; and the former, on the Saturday after the Coronation, accompanied the King to Windsor, the expenses of his retinue being separately inserted. It is clear that the Duke ' On the 24th of July the Duke paid a further sum of I3s. 4d. to " the clerk of the Duchery for his patent." (p. 415.) On the 7th of August he gave 2s. 8rf. to John Armurer " for (lighting and dressing of his sword at his creation." XV remained there over Tuesday, but the precise dates are not always found in this part of the manuscript : he was certainly in London on the 24th of July, and Giles Seynclow, the writer of this part of the account-book (p. 416) paid the Duke's offering to St. Anne, " when he went to Crosby-place." The Duke was there again on 1st of August (p. 419), and from some other memoranda respecting the keeping of the gardens, the construction of a " siege," or seat, probably in the gardens, the provision of a quantity of straw, and other charges, it seems likely that Crosby-place at this date had been left in the care of some of the Duke of Norfolk's immediate dependents. Sir Thomas Howard was created Earl of Surrey on the same day that his father was elevated to the Dukedom of Norfolk, but we do not hear of him by that title until 7th of August, (p. 420) when the Duke sent a letter to " my Lord of Surrey, his son." Whither it was addressed we are not told, but had Lord Surrey been in London, perhaps, a separate charge for it (though the sum seems to have been accidentally omitted) would not have been made, nor the messenger, John Ory, particularly named. The Duke of Norfolk had been elected a Knight of the Garter in 1472, two years after he was created Lord Howard; but when he became Duke of Norfolk his Garter seems to have required alteration or repair, and we therefore read (p. 422) some entries regarding it, as well as for his signet ring, and for " a harness of gold for his sword :" on the same day, he bought nine pieces of hangings, orna- mented with lions, the family crest. Having settled for many heavy expenses incurred during his stay in London, the Duke took his departure for Stoke Neyland on the 1 1th of August (p. 423) ; but under the same date is inserted a memorandum respecting the purchase of " leger harness," from a Flemish armourer. The Duke was at Colchester on the 13th of August, and here we find mention, for the first time, of his Secretary, (p. 428) an officer he appears to have appointed upon his creation as Duke of Norfolk. We may judge of the port and state he assumed at this period, from the fact that he was at- tended by more than 130 horsemen, for whose provisions he paid at Brent- wood, Chelmsford, Colchester, &c. From several items on p. 430 it is indisputable that the Duke went into XVI mourning about this date ; but whether it was occasioned by the deaths of the Princes in the Tower, we have no means of deciding from the document before us : on the 29th August he reckoned with his tailor for the cost of his change of apparel, &c. He had previously undertaken a sort of progress through the counties of Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex, and the charges of himself and his numerous followers are minutely registered. One of the most curious memo- rials of this kind is the bill of the Prior of Thetford, (p. 434) showing pre- cisely the articles the Duke had been required to pay for, and those which the brotherhood had gratuitously contributed. At Bury St. Edmunds the Duke and part of his train appear to have been accommodated within the walls of the Abbey, but he was nevertheless charged for a portion of the ex- penditure. He returned to Stoke by the 1st of September, and from thence came to London, accompanied by the Duchess and one of his daughters : on the I2th of September he started on an expedition into Surrey and Sussex (p. 443) leaving the Duchess in London, but he had returned some days before the end of the month : on the 26th of September he dis- patched a falconer to Windsor, but on what errand is not stated, possibly with a present of hawks : it might be connected with a license (p. 465) for the importation of 100 tons of wine, the fees for which were discharged on the 2d of October. At this date the Duke was in the payment of wages to 65 male servants (p. 468) ; but the sums given quarterly or monthly to the female domestics, with few exceptions, are not recorded in the manuscript : their wages seem generally to have gone through the hands of the Duchess. After the 11th of October there appears to have been an unusual muster of persons in the retinue and interest of the Duke of Norfolk at Gravesend ; and at earlier dates we have had messengers several times sent into Kent : perhaps on this occasion the assemblage of persons at Gravesend was connected with Lord Cobham, to whom the Duke sent £20 ;' or it might relate in some way to the discharge of the duties of the Duke of Norfolk as Lord Admiral. On the 11th of October, besides many individuals specially and separately named, Sir John Middleton with thirty men, and Sir John Norbury with forty men' repaired thither, by order and at the charge of the ' On the 14th of October the Duke sent a special messenger to Lord Cobham. xvu Duke (p. 471): he, however, probably remained in London, for on the 15th of October, in company with " CUfford of Kent," he went by water to the Lord Chancellor, and on the same day he dispatched a messenger to the King's mother. We gather, from entries on p. 474 and some subsequent pages, that in the middle of October the Duke of Norfolk was busily engaged in collecting men, horses, arms and armour for the service of the King, and many details of the kind, certainly not complete and sometimes not easily understood, are given in a handwriting not found in any other part of the manuscript, and with the date, 26th Feb. 1 Rich. III. In several instances the scribe does not seem to have been familiar with the names of places he enumerates, but we have printed them as he has written them. The particulars of household expenses in the family of the Duke of Norfolk terminate with the 20th of October, 1483 ; and if they were continued in any other book of the kind, the existence of it is not now known. It is very possible that the unsettled state of public affairs interfered in some de- gree with the regulfirity with which the family accounts had been previously kept. The Duke of Norfolk, prior to the 26th of February 1484, had " made an indenture " with the King to furnish him with one thousand men, and the latter part of the manuscript professes to supply the names of the whole body. It is not stated by what date they were to be ready to take the field, but there can be no doubt that they were the same troops which, with additions, the Duke of Norfolk led to the Battle of Bosworth, where he lost his life. The thousand men consisted of the tenants and adherents of the Duke, and the details show in what way each person of any rank or influence under him supplied their proportions, and how particular towns, where the Duke had power or property, came forward with men and money to add to the total number. Such is the summary of the leading particulars relating to the personal proceedings of John Lord Howard, subsequently Duke of Norfolk. There is a hiatus in the MS. between the 26th of February 1484 and the 21st of June 1487. In this interval Bosworth Field had been won, and Henry VII. had been nearly two years on the throne. On p. 501 will be XVIU found a Commission of Array in Latin, with accompanying instructions in English, addressed to the Earl of Oxford, dated from Lincoln the 21st of June, 2nd Henry VIL of which none of our historians take notice. This Earl of Oxford was of course John de Vere, who had been attainted in 1474, but who had been restored to his forfeited honours by Henry VIL as soon as he came to the crown. According to our Chroniclers, the Earl of Oxford and the Duke of Bedford were " chief captains " against the Earl of Lincoln, Lord Lovell, Martin Swart, &c. when they landed in rebellion on the coast of Lancashire, and marching to Newark were there signally defeated : it was under the authority of the Commission of the 21st of June, 2nd Henry VIL that the Earl of Oxford proceeded to collect a force " to await upon my Lord in the north countr)!^, appointed to be ready at Cambridge by the 18th of July, Anno 2 R. Henrici VIL""' " The details of this muster appear to be complete, as to persons, places and amounts, but it is not easy to make out from them the precise number of men the Earl of Oxford was to provide. The Commission of Array for the purpose is now for the first time brought to light and printed. Another interval of time occurs between the above, which may be consi- dered the second portion of the later manuscript included in our volume, and the third division, which refers to the household expenses of the Earl of Surrey, formerly Sir Thomas Howard, and eldest, if not only, son to the Duke of Norfolk. He had been attainted in 1485 for his adherence to Richard III. and was not restored to the earldom of Surrey until 1489, nor created Duke of Norfolk until 1514. His family accounts, which close the present volume and conclude the manuscript, are for an entire year, commencing in January 1490, and ending in January 1491. These memoranda are merely of a domestic nature, relating to the expenses of housekeeping, the wages of servants, (especially falconers, for the Earl seems to have been much devoted to hawk- ing) rewards to the bringers of presents, and other matters of the hke kind ; but during the whole year to which the items refer we do not find by them that the Earl of Surrey visited London, or was with the King at any time when making a progress in the country. Considering that he had been restored to his earldom in the preceding year, this circumstance may be XIX deemed extraordinary, but it is very possible that such items of charge were registered in some unrecovered book. Having thus explained the contents and character of both the manuscript volumes printed in the ensuing pages, we will now advert briefly to some particular points of family history, domestic life, and early manners which they illustrate. On this authority we hear of various members of the Howard family, regarding whom we know of no other extant source of information, as well as of individuals nearly related, whose connexion has been well understood, but respecting whom we have been without any details. Among the last may be mentioned Lord Berners,' one of the very earliest of our literary nobility, the translator of Froisart's Chronicles, (the first volume of which was printed by Pynson in 1523, and the second in 1525) and the compiler, author, or trans- lator of several other works. It is evident that during the period to which these manuscripts relate he resided under Lord Howard's roof, having married Catherine, the daughter of Lord Howard by his second wife. Lord Berners is supposed to have been bom in 1467, and succeeded his grandiather in the title in 1474 : he is first mentioned in these accounts in die spring of 1482, when, according to most authorities, he was only in his fifteenth year ; and as Lady Berners is spoken of at the same time, it is clear, either that tlie marriage between them must have been celebrated at a very early age, or that there has been some mistake as to the date of the birth of Lord Berners. Lady Berners must have been younger than her husband, for Lord Howard was not married to her mother until 1467. They seem to have been treated somewhat like children in the family, and on p. 152 is an entry of money paid for " looking to my Lady Berners ;" and on p. 164 it is recorded that a person called Peter was paid three shillings and four pence for " looking to my Lord Berners." If " looking to " merely mean attending upon, it seems rather an imusual form of expression. Lady Berners appears to have been ill in February, 1482, and an apothecary was paid for medicines > The name is diflFerently spelt in the manuscript, usually Berneys, Barneys or Barueis, sometimes Bernes and Barnes, but very rarely Berners. XX for her cure ; and we repeatedly meet with items for clothes of nearly every description, and of comparatively small sums presented to them, as if for pocket-money. Lord Bemers had horses found for him : his " nag '' is mentioned on p. 355, and " Bayard Bemers," probably an animal of a more showy description, is introduced on the next page. At this date Lord Berners was in London with his father-in-law, who was attending in his place in Parliament, but in general he seems to have resided in the country. Both he and Lady Bemers were in the metropolis during the important period of the assumption of the royal dignity by Richard III. Lord Howard's " son Tymperley " is spoken of on p. 1 14, and Mrs. Tym- perley and Mrs. Anne Tymperley in several places : the fact, no doubt, is, that his daughter Anne, by his first wife, had married a gentleman of that name : on p. 440 she is called " Lady Tymperley," her father having at that time been elevated to the dukedom of Norfolk. On p. 129 we meet with the mention of Lord Howard's " daughter-in-law ;" but the scribe probably there meant another daughter of Lord Howard, who had married a Mr. Radmyld, whose name frequently occurs as a sender of presents and in other ways, and who in November 1481 seems to have commenced house-keeping . the various gifts made, as may be conjectured, to Mrs. Radmyld and her husband on this occasion, even to a frying pan and a ladle, are duly registered on p. 129. Under date of the 15th of December 1481 we hear of Lord Howard's " daughter Mortimer ;" and on p. 209 he himself enters k sum of money placed in the hands of " my daughter Norris :" these were his two other daughters, for he had four by his first wife, viz. Anne, Isabel, Jane, and Margaret, and they must have been the persons intended by " my lady's daughters " (properly, my late lady's daughters) when gowns were given to them on p. 417- Lord Howard's " nephew Neville" and his " nephew Daniel" are noticed in different parts of our volume. Various memoranda relate to Master George and his nurse, to Master George and his horses, to Master George's chamber, and it is by no means clear that the same person is always intended ; but the reader will be particularly struck by the repeated occurrence of the name of Totsayn, or Tutsayn, who appears to have been constantly about the person of Lord Howard, whether in London or in the country, in some unexplained capacity. He was probably a favourite page, who is also called " Totsayn, the child ;" and in one place (p. 430) he is provided with a livery gown, but elsewhere he has a doublet of white and green ' and on p. 410 he is furnished with a pair of spurs. It is not easy to gather from these sources of what the household of Lord Howard at any particular period consisted ; but, as already remarked, after he became Duke of Norfolk his establishment was vastly increased, and was therefore much more expensive. While Lord Howard, he had two priests, or Chaplains, who received regular salaries, and we now and then hear of others, who seem to have performed mass in the family chapel, or elsewhere. His lordship's Auditor at one time was Watkin Fulbone, and subsequently John Knight ; and his Steward, for the greater part of the period to which the manuscripts apply, was a person of the name of Bliant, often found inserted in his lordship's handwriting in the margin of the books : this individual subsequently became Comptroller of the household. For a considerable time the Cator of the family was Richard Wolman ; and throughout the whole of it a person of the name of Wood filled the office of Treasurer : he must have been a man of some consequence and family, for, besides other indications of wealth which will be observed in the course of our volume, he had a minstrel in his own pay and livery, who was rewarded by Lady Howard and others. We have already stated that, after Lord Howard was elevated to 1 p. 537. The Rev. Mr. Dyce in his account of Skelton, Works, I. xii., supposes that the dress of white and green worn by that poet, (so to call a coarse and offensive rhymer) and alluded to by him in the following lines against Garnish, was peculiar at that time to a poet-laureat, and was in fact the King's livery :— " Your sworde, ye swere, I wene. So tranchant and so kene, Xall kyt both wyght and grene : Your foly ys to grett The kynges colours to threte " It is clear, from our manuscript and various authorities, that other persons wore " white and green " besides poets laureat. There is some reason for believing that Skelton, who was probably a Norfolk man, was at one time in the service of the Duke : the name of John Skelton occurs several times in these accounts. the Dukedom, he employed " a secretary," an officer of whom we do not until then hear, and whose name is never introduced. The names of Nicholas and Oliver of the buttery, of Gauge, clerk of the kitchen, of Laurence groom of the hall, &c. will frequently be met with in the ensuing pages, together with a foreigner (probably a Spaniard) called Diago, but what were his duties is no where mentioned. Among the dependants of Lord Howard, and forming part of his domestic establishment, were two fools, but whether natural idiots or professed jesters under the assumption of folly, we have no means of deciding : one of them called Tom, and " Tom fool," occurs often in the accounts, with items for the cost of his pipe, his coats, his hose, his shoes, &c. : the other fool was called Richard, and as far as we can judge, he was of a lower grade in the family, being sometimes spoken of as " the fool of the kitchen." It seems not unlikely, that one fool was allowed to mix among the distinguished guests and members of the family, while the other was retained for the amusement of the domestics. ' We are not aware of any other record which shows that two fools formed part of the establishment of a nobleman of that day, although one fool was retained in many ancient families. A. prominent feature in the following household books is the great variety of entries in connection with music and musical performers. Lord Howard entertained professed singers, and players upon instruments, as members of his establishment. Nicholas Stapylton, William Lyndsey, and " little Richard," as he was called, were paid regular wages as singers ; 2 and to these are are to be added the children of his Lordship's chapel, four, five, and six in number at diiferent dates, all provided with food and clothing, besides being paid for their services. There seem to have been organs in the mansion at Stoke Neyland, as well as in the chapel, and several memo- randa relate to the purchase of music : by p. 158 it appears that three shill- 1 On p. 131 we find mention of the fool of the Lord Mayor of London j and on p. 450 the fool of the abbey of Bury St. Edmunds is rewarded by a g^ift of fourpence. 2 Both Lyndsey and " little Richard " (the last seems to have been originally one of the children of Lord Howard's chapel) were, however, sometimes employed as confidential messengers, when any letter or information of importance was to be conveyed. xxm ings and four pence was given for " a prick-song book ;" and farther on we meet with entries of money paid for " a mass of pricked song" and " an anthem" for the chapel: on p. 161 is an item of fourteen shillings and four pence to " Gorum, master of the children of St. Anthony," for " a song- book and four anthems/" Perhaps Lady Howard performed on the lute, and on p. 218 a minstrel is paid for repairing one. On all occasions mu- sicians of every description were liberally rewarded, and among them we hear (p. 122) of the Duke of Gloucester's minstrels, and of the same nobleman's " Shalms," (probably a different company) ; of the minstrels of " my Lord Makes " (p. 216) ; and of those of the Earl of Kent (p. 449), besides minstrels attached to private individuals, and such as belonged to particular towns. The payments to harpers and others, who were required to play before Lord Howard on his different journies, are frequent, and from a memorandum on p. 149 we are led to believe that he kept a harper continually in his ser- vice, and provided him with a grey gown. On the 18th of October 1481, his Lordship entered into an agreement with WiUiam Wastell, harper of London, that he should teach a boy named Colet " to harp and to sing,'' probably, in order that he might be competent afterwards to fill the post of one of the family musicians. These manuscripts also contain the earliest notice, yet discovered, of the fact that members of the aristocracy kept associations of players in their pay, a practice which became so common afterwards, and was so much abused by itinerant companies, that it was found necessary to check it by positive enactment. It has been hitherto supposed, on the authority of the second of the two manuscripts, that Richard HI., when Duke of Gloucester, was the first nobleman who ever gave his countenance to a body of actors, travelling 1 Singers by profession seem to have dealt in other commodities : thus on p. 158 we have a memorandum showing that Lord Howard bought of Cawood " a singer of Pauls " several valuable counterpoints, or counterpanes ; and, but for the addition of the words " of verdure " arid of the particular measurements, we might have supposed that " counter- point " was then, as it afterwards became, '^ term of musical art. On the next page is an item of a reward of twenty pence to " tuner Cawoofl, and the brethren," meaning, perhaps, Cawood and his brother singers in St. Pauls cathedral. XXIV round the country under the sanction of his name :' the fact, however, is that although a Hberal encourager and patron (as far as we have the means of judging) of music and the stage, he can only be looked upon, in this respect, as following the example of another nobleman — the Earl of Essex. It appears by an entry on p. 149, that the " Earl of Essex's men, players " performed before Lord Howard at Christmas 1481-2, while the Duke of Gloucester's " four players " were rewarded at the same season of the follow- ing year (p. 336). Thus it is clear, as far as any evidence yet discovered goes, that Henry Bourchier, Earl of Essex, is entitled to be considered the first English nobleman who had a company of theatrical servants in his pay and under his patronage. Although it was afterwards found necessary to controul this custom, there can be no doubt that it most importantly contributed to the prosperity and success of our national drama in its infancy, and it is impossible to decide what beneficial effect it may not have had upon the condition of our stage even at the period when it reached its manhood and perfection, at the close of the reign of Elizabeth, and in the beginning of that of her successor. At a much more remote date associations of actors, generally composed of persons engaged in particular trades, whether incorporated or otherwise, were attached to cities, boroughs and towns ; and in the records before us we meet with mention of those of Thoryngton Street, or Turton Street, as the place is there called (p. 104) of Coggeshall (pp. 146, 336) of Hadleigh (p. 147) of Esterford (p. 148) of Chelmsford (p. 517) and of Lavenham (p. 519). A memorandum on p. 202, connected with this subject, is somewhat curious as affording proof that a drama (no doubt scriptural) was performed in a church at Colchester on Whit-monday; but we are aware from other authorities that it was not a very unusual practice : the same was perhaps the case when " the Resurrection " was represented before Lord Howard on " Easter-day," but the information is not as precise as in the former instance. On p. 517 a notice occurs of what is there called " a panget," meaning doubtless a pageant, which might or might not be a miracle-play, or a morality, represented in the streets or in some open space : the date is considerably ' History of English Dramatic Poetry and the Stage, I. 29. XXV posterior to the death of the Duke of Norfolk, and the reward on the occasion seems to have been given by his son. To the " disguising " in the private dwelling of Lord Howard, in January 1482-3, we have already adverted, but we allude to it again here, because this species of entertainment had some- thing dramatic in its character, and led the way to the Masques, accompanied by dialogue and music, which at a period not very long subsequent formed so important a part of the amusements of the court. In the early instance under consideration the materials for the disguising were bought from a tradesman at Sudbury, who probably procured them from London, as they were hardly of a kind to be obtained in a country town. Considerably later in the manuscript we have charges for the purchase of " linen for disguising " (p. 515) and of" stuff for disguisers" (p. 517) ; but this was in the time of the Earl of Surrey, and no such curious particulars of the commodities are supplied as in the former case. The private charities of Lord Howard and his family seem to have been both general and extensive ; and if all the small amounts thus applied were extracted from the two manuscripts they would be found to form a very considerable sum : few pages occur in which alms are not recorded, appa- rently as a necessary part of the household expenditure. In London or in the country, on journies or at the residences of his friends. Lord Howard was always bountifial to the poor ; and in looking at the items we must, of course, not forget the great difference in the value of money at that period and in our own day. When an ox could be bought for twenty shilUngs, a quarter of wheat for six shillings and eight pence, and a load of hay for five shillings and four pence, a single penny was no trifling present to a beggar, and the gift was frequently much larger : ' besides, it will be seen that when- ever any of the domestic servants were employed to go a distance, upon business, or with letters and messages, they were invariably allowed to be 1 In connexion with the relative value of money, it may be worth while to mention that a grocer's shop in Cheapside in 1482, with " a place above it " (meaning probably a ware- house or store for goods) was let for ^1. \s. 8d. per quarter or ^4. 6s. 8d. per annum Lord Howard seems to have been the owner of the shop, which he let to a tenant of the name of Sandys, and the amount of rent paid is ascertained on pp. 352 and 353. d XXVI liberal of their master's money to those who stood in need of it, and duly charged it in their accounts. One source of expense of this description v/ill sound rather strangely to modern ears, not recollecting sufficiently the changes in the state of society which have since occurred : we refer to the gifts of money to "hermits'^ and "gentlemen hermits," persons who, perhaps, became voluntary recluses, and, as far as we know, lived upon charity. Charges of this kind will be observed on pp. 176, 199, 222 and 367- It is unnecessary to enter into farther particulars upon this point, but there is one circumstance, illustrating the pecuniary generosity of Lord Howard, which appears to deserve especial remark. As far as we can judge, he was not himself a man of any literary pretensions ; but we have already noticed the undoubted claims of this kind possessed by his son-in-law. Lord Berners, who may have had considerable influence upon the mind of Lord Howard, and may have induced him to expend no trifling amounts upon the education of youths at Cambridge, then to be looked upon rather in the light of a school than of an University. The brief and imperfect word- ing of the memoranda does not enable us to speak decisively upon the question, but it seems to have been Lord Howard's custom to allow the parents of several boys to pay a part of the cost of education, and to con- tribute the rest himself. In some cases he seems to have furnished the whole sum required, and possibly the youths were of extremely promising abilities, and their friends little able to make them any allowance or exhi- bition. This most beneficial and enlightened liberality may have been the spontaneous oS'spring of Lord Howard's own mind ; and on no occasion does he seem to have required prompting, when good was to be accomplished by a pecuniary sacrifice. He was evidently a careful man, watchful of his domestic expenditure, and exact in his receipts and payments, especially before he became Duke of Norfolk ; but from beginning to the end of the manuscripts in our hands there is not the remotest trace of anything like ignoble parsimony. He was bountiful to his relatives and immediate depend- ants, and the proofs of his disinterested benevolence to mere strangers are too numerous to be separately distinguished. Some particulars of his liberahty to youths in a course of instruction at Cambridge will be observed xxvu upon pp. 147, 300, 338, 341, 371, 379, 468, &c. In some instances the names of the parties are inserted, and in others they are omitted, but at all times Lord Howard was unostentatious of his charities. In Mr. Botfield's volume mention is made (p. xcii) of an " Yenglyshe boke, calyd Dives et Pauper," which no doubt was a manuscript of the work printed by Pynson in 1493, and by Wynkyn de Worde in 1496. On p. 277 of the present volume wiU be seen a very curious list of books, in all proba- bility belonging to Lord Howard ; and which, as it immediately follows a variety of details respecting furniture and apparel taken with him on his voyage to Scotland, we may possibly consider an inventory of the library he had selected for his amusement on board his ship. It will be remarked that the titles are all French, a language with which it is unquestionable his Lordship was well acquainted, and some of the books may have been in a printed form, having been issued from continental presses before 1480 ; but others were certainly in manuscript, and perhaps such was the state of the whole collection. Nothing is mentioned by the writer of the hst to lead to an opinion one way or the other, as wiQ be seen on reference to p. 277, where it is given precisely as it stands in the original. The titles are there corrupted or abridged, and for the sake of greater intelligibility, we here sub- join them, as we apprehend, correctly, and shall follow them by a few brief remarks upon each production. La Destruction de Troy. Le Recueil des Histoires Trojanes. L'Arbre des Batailles. Ponthus et la belle Sidoyne. Sir Baudin, Conte de Flandres. La belle Dame sans Merci. Les Accusations de la Dame. Le Miroir de la Mort. Le Jeu des Echecs. Le Jeu des Des. Le Debat de la Demoiselle et bons Freres. XXVlll L'Amant rendu Cordelier. Les Dits des Sages. Paris et Vienne. The first of these fourteen works was, no doubt, the old French dramatic performance on the siege and sacking of Troy, entitled " La Destruction de Troye le grant, mise par Personnaiges," which was printed at Paris in 1484 by Jehan Bonhomme, and went through several subsequent editions. The next is the well known production of Raoul le Fevre, printed in French by Caxton before 1470, and of which an English translation came from his press " in the holy cyte of Colen " in 1471, under the title of " The RecuyeU of the Historyes of Troye." " L'Arbre des Batailles " was written by Honor^ Bonnor, or Bonhor, and printed, according to M. Van Praet, at Lyons in 1477j and subsequently in 1481. We can only conjecture that " Ponthus et la belle Sidoyne " is intended by " Pontius," as the title stands in the manu- script; and certainly no other work is known for which it can well be intended : " le tres excellent Romant du noble chevaleureux Roy Ponthus, et de la tres belle Sidoyne, fille du Roy de Bretaigne " was not printed, says Brunet, until an edition was brought out at Lyons by Caspar Ortuin about the year 1500. The fifth book in the preceding list was published at Lyons about 1473, under the title of " Cy commence le livre de Baudoyn conte de Flandres, et de Ferrant fils au roy de Portingal," and it was several times reprinted. It is possible that " La Belle Dame sans Merci " was the trans- lation, falsely imputed to Chaucer, from the French of Alain Chartier ; but it was more probably the original poem, then in manuscript, but afterwards several times printed, and extremely popular : " the legende off Lad . . . saunce mercye " is spoken of in the Paston Letters, Vol. I. p. 300, as among the books of that family.' " Les Accusations de la Dame," which comes seventh in the hst, was doubtless connected in subject, but could hardly be the poem known in French by the name of " La belle Dame qui eut Merci," obviously a sequel to " La belle Dame sans Merci." Olivier de la Marche I The name of Paston only occurs once in either of the ensuing manuscripts when, on the 17th of September, 1489, Sir John Paston sent a present of five storks to the Earl of Surrey. XXIX wrote a book (printed without date or place) called " Une excellent et tres proufitable livre pour tout Creature humaine, appele le Meroer de Mort," and this is what was intended by the manuscript, where it mentions " Le Myror delamort," or " Le Miroir de la Mort." The original of " Le Jeu des Echecs " was probably the same as the original of Caxton's " Game and Playe of the Chesse/' printed in 1474, viz. the Latin work of Jacobus Thessolonia, or Cessol, which at an early date was translated into French by Jehan de Vignay : there was, however, another early version by Ferron, and this may have been the work in the possession of Lord Howard : it does not appear that de Vignay^s translation was printed, until it came out in Paris in 1504. " Le Jeu des D6s " must have been a production of a similar kind, applicable to dice. Of " Le Debat de la Demoiselle et bon Freres " we can only say that several small works in verse with the title of " Debat " were printed late in the fifteenth, or early in the sixteenth centuries, such as " Le Debat de deux Demoiselles, I'une nomm6 le noyre, et I'autre la tannee," and " Le Debat de la Demoiselle et de la bourgeoise ;" but we find among them no such title as is given in the manuscript. " L'Amant rendu Cordelier," was the tale, printed at Paris in 1490 by Germain Vincaut, with the title of " L'Amant rendu Cordelier a 1' observance d'amours." " Les Dits des Sages " was unquestionably the original of Lord Rivers's " Dictes and Sayings of Philosophres," printed by Caxton in 1477? and which had been printed more than once in France, without date or place, but in all probability before it came from the press of our earliest typographer. The romance of " Paris and the Fair Vienne " is well known from the many times it was printed at home and abroad, first perhaps by Caxton in 1485, for the earUest foreign copy seems to have been issued by Gerard Leeu from his press at Antwerp in 1487. The two last works are entered in a different, and perhaps a somewhat later hand-writing, and we may doubt if they formed part of the original collection of volumes in the pos- session of Lord Howard. It only remains to be stated, that such portions of the two manuscripts printed in this volume as are in the hand-writing of Lord Howard, with the exception of a few names duly pointed out in the notes, are distinguished by Italic type.

The catalogue of books (which, perhaps. Lord Howard took with him on his voyage) is highly curious : it is added at one corner of the page, and is in the hand-writing of Dalamar. We copy it exactly, with the various errors of the scribe, some of which we have endeavoured to set right in our " Introduction." All the titles, excepting the two last, were written by Dalamare : " Les d dessages " and " Paris et Vienne " are in another, if not a rather later hand.

The rent appears to have been ^1. \s. 8d. a quarter, or ^4. 6s. 8d. per annum. 2 " Fygge dodes" perhaps expresses some peculiar kind of figs : above we have "a sort of figs " for a collection of figs. We have had " a toppet of figges " on p. 22, where a note is subjoined deriving " toppet " from tophet ; but perhaps the true reading is tofet for " toppet." According to Bishop Kennet's Collections for a Glossary (Lansd. MSS. No. 1033.) tofet in the county of Kent means half a bushel, and he derives it from two and the Sax. fast, peck, i.e. two pecks. At the same time we still every day talk of a " drum of figs '- and as they were brought ifrom the East in round cases, like drums, it is not all im- possible that " toppet " means tophet, Hebrew for a drum. Palsgrave tells us that the ordin- ary expression was "a frayle of fygges," a frail being a species of basket, and we have "ij. frayles of fygges " on p. 364.

P. 6, 1. 28.— Robard Rye of Redyngton] So written in the MS. but by subsequent parts of the Volume (see p. 14, &c.) it appears that the name ought to be Robard Rys of Kedyngton. The scribe seems now and then to have been not well acquainted with the names of places. p. 17, 1. 8. — that my Lord schal have of hym iiij.c. goodes] A " good" seems to have been a measure of ten feet, usually spelt gode, and sometimes gad. See Mr. Way's Promptorium p. 184, " Gad, to mete londe — decempeda pertica." p. 19, 1. 28. — upon the making of a Serpentine] A Serpentine was a piece of artillery — Hall in his Chronicle, in the reign of Henry VIII., has this passage i " His campe was invironed with artillerie, as fawcones, serpentynes, cast hag- bushes." p. 25, 1. S.-"— thei schal make my Lord iiij.M. calthorpes] A calthorpe, as appears by various authorities, in its simplest form was what is described in the note ; but sometimes calthorpes were famished with five or even more spikes, in order to render it certain that one spike should always be erect, that it might enter the feet of the cavalry. p. 33, 1. 14. — Item, bering xij. paves to the peintor] " Paves" were shields, and they were painted for distinction or ornament. Sometimes they were smaller and borne by men, and sometimes larger emd ranged round the deck of a ship for the protection of the crew from an enemy. See Strutt's Dress and Habits &c. Vol. II. p. 42. Florio m his ItaL Diet. 1598 and 1611, has " Pavese, a kind of old fashioned target, a shield, a buckler, a palveise." On p. 72 of this vol., is an item of " Paves of the Trenete " and another of the payment of a painter for painting them. In Skelton's poem in praise of Henry VIH., preserved in his own MS. in Ithe Rolls Chapel, he terms the King " Our prince of high honour. Our paves, our succour." XXX 522 p. 34, 1. 15. — for whites] " Whites" is a term still employed, in the county of Norfolk in particular, for a species of white camlet, formerly an important part of the trade of the city of Norwich. " Whites " used to be exported in large quantities to the East Indies. p. 68, 1. 26. — Item, to the Haque Man] For " Haque Man" read Haqne Man, i.e. Hackneyman. On p. 71, 1. 22, "Laurens Haqueman" ought to be Laurens Haqneman. p. 85, 1. 26. — and for the fiistes] This word seems to have the same etymology as foist, fuste being Dutch for a vessel. In a former instance we have seen it spelt ■' fasse " in this MS., and there it may be taken for a corruption of the Latin vas, whence indeed /asie may be derived. p. 99, 1. 3. — a peir of flokkards for my Lady Barneis] Strutt in his " Dress and Habits " &c. II. 373, describes aflocket " a loose garment with large sleeves" — It may be doubted whether such be the meaning of " flokkard, " or " a peir of flockkardes '' in the text, The word " flokard" occurs again on p. 101. " Item, to her for a flokard for my Lady Barneis iiij.s. p. 110, 1. 15. — The Lady Morpat] On p. 70 her name has also occurred, and there she is called " my Lady dame Anne Morpate." p, 114, 1. 27. — For Maude of the kechyn] Afterwards this name appears to be spelt Mande, and Monde ; and sometimes the man is described as " of the bake-house :" possibly he changed his office. p. 126, 1. 22. — Item, to the ryngers of Seynt Tanlonys cherch] It stands " Seynt Tanlonys " in the MS. ; but it may be doubted whether we ought not to read " Seynt Tantony's " or St. Antony's church. The " Master of the children of St. Anthony " is mentioned on p. 161. p. 129, 1. 1. — Item, paid to Hew Polford, otherwisse called Dyker] Hugh Polford was employed as a ditcher or " dyker," and hence the confusion regarding his name in some of the entries. On p. 123 he is called " Hew, dicher," i.e. Hugh the ditcher ; but his real name appears to have been Polford. p. 145, 1. 5. — The Plaiers of Kokesale] The performance must have taken place. 523 not at Coggeshall, but at Colchester, by a body of actors who came from Cogges- hall for the purpose of exhibiting. p. 202, 1. 5. — Item, to women on Hoc Monday] Hock-monday or High-monday (from heach, high. Sax.) is a feast still observed in Norfolk, Suffolk, and some of the eastern counties. Elsewhere it is generally apphed to the harvest feast, which is called hockey, or hawkey, home. The feast commences fifteen days after Easter. According to Laneham's Letter from Kenilworth, Hock-tuesday was celebrated there before Queen EUzabeth in 1575. p. 208, 1. 9. — a qrtr porpays] It should seem that the porpoise was a fish not unfre- quently eaten of old. In Skelton's " Speak, Parrot," we meet with this line " With porpose and graundepose he may fede hym fatte." The Rev. Mr. Dyce in his edit, of Skelton's Works, II. 346, explains " graunde- pose" to be grampus, and he is doubtless right : the spelling of the old word seems to explain its etymology. p. 211, 1. 25. — and the hengehs of a dore xij.d.] The old English word for a hinge was " hengyl" and so we find it spelt in the Promptorium, (Edit. Way, p. 235). " Hengyl of a dore or wyndowe, vertebra, veciis. p. 219, 1. 28. — for xsxiiij. yerdes and di. of Kendall] Lord Howard had just re- turned from Kent, and it is probable that what he bought was cloth called " Kentish Kendall," of which we find mention in Hall's Chronicle, where he speaks of an unexpected visit from Henry VIII. and his nobles to the Queen, " all appareled in shorte cotes of Kentishe Kendall." The word Kendall seems of itself to have denoted green, without the addition of the colour : we have " Kendall " and " narrow Kendall" mentioned on p. 222. p. 243, 1. 28. — With reference of this memorandum] Read " with reference to this memorandum. p. 244, 1. 29. — For " endenture" read indenture. The same misprint occurs three lines lower. p. 284, 1. 28. — My Lord sent home to my Lady in angelletes] Angelletes, if de- rived from the Fr. angelot, ought properly to be so spelt. An " angelot" was of the value of half an angel, and according to some authorities " angelots " were 524 first coined in Paris by the English, when they had possession of the French capital. This, however, may be doubted and no such origin to the " angelot" is given by French writers. p. 285, 1. 20. — To the pour of Seynt Mary Overyse] For " pour" reaA priour. p. 297, 1. 8. — for xiij. yerdes of blanket] It may be doubted whether " blanket" in this entry be not the same commodity as " white," or " whites," in previous parts of the manuscript. See p. 34, &c. p. 327, 1. 9.— Item, paid to Jeffery for a bale of dysse] That is a bale, or pair, of dice ; but why a pair of dice was anciently called a " bale" has not been ex- plained : possibly, from jSaXioy speckled, or from /SaXXu to throw. The ex- pression occurs in our oldest writers, and it did not go out of use until about the time of the Restoration. p. 339, 1. 19. — Item, for ij. lb. of arsowde] Usually spelt Orsedue in the Revels Ac- counts, where it is a common item. See Mr. P. Cunningham's Extracts (printed for the Shakespeare Society) passim. It seems to have been a metalic imitation of gold, and Chapman in some verses prefixed to " The Ghost of Richard III." by C. B. 1614, spells it Orsadine, and explains for what purpose it was used : " Tis pageant orsadine. That goes for gold." p. 343, 1. 25. — The xix. day of Jenever, my Lork] For " Lork" read Lord. p. 359, 1. 7. — he gaff Gaudayes wifi^] Perhaps we ought to read Gandayes wiff, as a person of the name of CJangday has been before mentioned : in old MS. it is often impossible to distinguish between « and n. p. 379, 1. 1. — Item, the ssme day] Read " Item, the same day." p. 381, 1. 24.— Item, for iiij. payre wombes] The pieces of wood, or iron, placed on each side of a horse's collar, to which' the traces are fastened, are still called waitnes and haimes in Essex : this may be what is meant in the entry. p. 388, 1. 20. — Tysday the xix. day] The date ought certainly to be the xxix. day of April, but the MS. has it " xix day." p. 421, 1. 6.— for Wekys] Read Wehys. 525 p. 449, 1. 11.— Item, to my Lady Chamberleynes man] The mode in which the Lord Chamberlain's lady is thus spoken of by her husband's title is somewhat remarkable. William Lord Hastings, who had been Lord Chamberlain to Edward IV., was beheaded in 1483. p. 460, 1. 2. — Item, to my Lord of Notinghames man] This was William Baron Berkeley, who was created Earl of Nottingham in June, 1483. p. 464, 1. 5.— And the same day, my Lord paide to Robard Hoode for viij. shafftys] " Shafitys" are of course arrows, and the coincidence that the Duke bought them of a person of the name of Robin Hood is singular. p. 480, 1. 6. — Item, my Lord is throughe with his servaunt Robert Worsly] The ex- pression " is through " has occurred before, and it means that the agreement, or engagement, is complete. It is found in " Henry IV." part 2, Act I. sc. 2, and elsewhere in Shakespeare. p. 507, 1. 6. — whereof xl.s. was dew to hym] Here, and just afterwards, we ought to read xl.d., the scribe having committed a clerical error, as the addition shows. p. 509, 1. 5. — Item, delyverd to M. Sir John Paston's man] This seems the only instance in which a member of the Paston family is mentioned. p. 512, 1. 27.— the vj.'" yere of K. H. vij.'"] Read " the vj.'" yere of R. H. vij."' p. 516, 1. 14 — for the surfelyng of nappre] " Sufeling" seems to have been part of the early mode of bleaching, by sulphur- water. This was the process that the linen cloth, or " napery," went through in the hands of John Peryman. The verb to " surfle" seems to have been sometimes confounded with^wr^. p. 520, 1. 1. — in my Lord Latmer's chamber] So called in the MS.; but it seems elsewhere that he was not summoned to Parliament until 7 Henry VII. as " Ricardus Ne\'ill de Latimer, chivaler."
