INTRODUCTION. 
 
 No department of English history has been less cultivated than that relating 
 to the domestic economy of the people during the middle ages. There is 
 no work expressly devoted to the subject; and the scanty notices which are 
 given by Henry and other historical writers, scarcely deserve mention. 
 
 To trace the progress of a nation in the arts of domestic life is, strictly 
 speaking, to trace its advance in civilization, of which those events which 
 form the staple of political narratives are but simple results. This pursuit, 
 however, derives little aid from chroniclers who detail the general history 
 of their own, or preceding ages. The habits and customs of the past were 
 unknown to such writers, and it never occurred to them that the every day 
 life of the times in which they lived, would eventually become an object of 
 enquiry to posterity, for whose benefit they professed to write. Hence, their 
 allusions to such matters are of that vague and unsatisfactory nature to be 
 expected from people who refer to a state of things in which they had been 
 bred : however, it occasionally happens, that when they record their asto- 
 nishment at a novelty, or condemn a departure from ancient customs, the 
 expression of their ignorance, or prejudice, enables us to date the invention 
 of some useful art, or the importation of an article of convenience, or luxury, 
 tin then unknown. 
 
 But, if historians fail to supply the desired information, other and ample 
 sources are open to enquiry. Our ancient rhymers and romancers abound in 
 allusions to, and descriptions of the domestic habits and manners of their 
 respective eras. We have a long series of the records of criminal trials, 
 
 b 
 
which besides illustrating the spirit, necessarily involve some detail of the 
 most remarkable features in the internal condition of the people, during 
 successive ages; and many accounts have descended to us of the daily 
 expenditure of individuals who belonged to the higher ranks of society, and 
 who consequently enjoyed the few luxuries and additions to the necessaries 
 of life, which wealth alone could procure in the infancy of commerce. 
 
 The present volume is intended as a contribution to this branch of history. 
 It comprises accounts of domestic expenses at two very distinct periods of 
 EngUsh story, not less remarkable for the contrast they present in the social 
 condition of the people, than for the great pohtical events by which they 
 are respectively distinguished. 
 
 Between the insurrection of the barons, in the reign of Henry the Third, 
 and the contest of the rival houses of York and Lancaster, in the fifteenth 
 century, there occurs a space of nearly two hujidred years, signalised by 
 some of the most important changes, not only in EngUsh, but in European 
 manners and institutions, upon which the historian can dwell ; changes of 
 which the influence on the general habits of life is conspicuous in this work, 
 which presents a comprehensive view of the necessaries and conveniences 
 of life at the first and last of the periods mentioned, and casts a strong light 
 upon the early condition and progressive improvement of the manufactures, 
 trade, and commerce of England. 
 
 Besides their statistical importance, the following accounts have an 
 additional value as memorials of individuals celebrated in history. 
 
 Although the Countess of Leicester has been more indebted to the renown 
 of her husband than to any memorial of her own merits, for whatever notice 
 has been hitherto taken of her career, she appears to have been a remarkable 
 person considering her sex and the age in which she lived. 
 
 A tale the probability of which is rendered credible by more ancient, as 
 well as more recent, instances of female heroism and devotion, and which 
 
lU 
 
 touches one of the most sensitive chords in man's nature, has embahned the 
 memory of Eleanor of Castile. It is one of those popular and poetical traditions, 
 associated ■«"ith early notions of history, and rendered familiar by painter and 
 sculptor, which the critic who would investigate its foundation in truth, must 
 approach with respect, and doubt with reluctance. Admitting however that 
 it is a mere invention, the general testimony of history, and the grateful 
 sorrow of ner husband, who would have perpetuated her name by the beau- 
 tiful crosses of which so few have escaped the ravages of time and man, 
 sufficiently attest her virtues as a woman and a wife : and if the graceful effigy 
 on her tomb at Westminster, which in chaste beauty all but approaches that 
 ideal standard of perfection at which the sculptor aimed in the best times of 
 Grecian art, may be considered a portrait, her personal graces were not infe- 
 rior to her mental endowments. 
 
 Sir John Howard whose successful ambition first raised to the peerage a 
 family than which none has been more distinguished in Enghsh History, 
 played a conspicuous part in a dark and unhappy period of our annals. The 
 accounts of his expenditure, during the early years of the reign of Edward 
 the Fourth, shew that he was a prudent manager of his private fortune ; and 
 the few remaining specimens of his correspondence throw some light upon 
 his character, and prove that he possessed an average share of that sort 
 of education which fell to the lot of persons of rank, in the fifteenth century. 
 His accounts present also many notices of individuals remarkable for their 
 share in the ferocious and desolating warfare of the Roses, not a few of whom 
 paid a heavy penalty for their misdeeds as the fdrtunes and scaflFolds of either 
 party rose and fell. To the general antiquary and topographer the Howard 
 Household Books will prove a mine of interesting and valuable information. 
 
 Having thus briefly stated the object of this collection, and the nature 
 of its contents ; it is requisite to give some detailed account of the three 
 eminent persons to whom it relates, as well as an analysis of the infor- 
 mation to be procured firom the documents now first printed. 
 
I. The Household Roll, of Eleanok, Countess of 
 
 Leicester. 
 
 Eleanor, the third daughter of John, King of England, by Isabella of 
 Angouleme, was bom, probably, about the year 1212 : but for this date, 
 there is no authority,* beyond what may be derived from the following cir- 
 cumstances. 
 
 Joan, her eldest sister, married to Alexander King of Scotland, in 1221, 
 is described, by a contemporary writer,* as " a girl of very tender age ;" an 
 expression which, having regard to the custom prevailing at the time, of 
 marrying females when they were little more than infants, may be under- 
 stood to mean that she was about eleven years old ; thereby giving the year 
 1210 as the period of her birth. Matthew Paris describing the presentation 
 of Isabella, the second daughter, to the ambassadors of the Emperor Fre- 
 derick II., who came to ask her in marriage for their sovereign, in 1235, 
 says she was then in her twenty-first year f according to which her birth 
 must have occurred in 1214. There is reason, however, to believe that this 
 statement is incorrect ; for, admitting it to be true, and that Eleanor, the 
 third and youngest daughter, was bom in 1215, she could have been scarcely 
 ten years old at the time of her marriage to Wilham Mareschal, in 1225. It 
 is, therefore, more reasonable to infer, that the historian spoke without 
 
 ' The years in which the daughters of John were born, are not mentioned by any of the Chro- 
 niclers. His marriage with Isabella took place in 1200, and it is believed that Henry the Third, born 
 in 1207, was the first child, as he was the eldest son of his parents. (M. Paris, ed. 1684, p. 189.) 
 Richard, Earl of Cornwall, the second son, was born in 1208 (lb.), or 1209 (Lelandi Collect, ii. 
 455). the absence of any evidence that even one of the daughters was born before the year 1207 
 coupled with the remarks of the Chroniclers, as to their respective ages when married, which go to 
 prove they were all born after 1208, has induced the adoption, of the years mentioned above. 
 
 ^ Chronicon de Lanercost, p. 29. s p, 350. 
 
certain knowledge of the age of Isabella, and it is possible that no great 
 deviation wiU be made from truth, in assigning the births of the second and 
 third daughters of John to the years 1210 and 1212. According to this cal- 
 culation Eleanor would have been thirteen at the period of her marriage, 
 and lAbella twenty-five when contracted to the Emperor of Germany. 
 
 William Mareschal, Earl of Pembroke, eldest son and heir of the prudent 
 and vahant nobleman to whose energy and conduct Henry the Third was 
 indebted for his throne, obtained the young Princess in marriage in 1225.' 
 After this event we have no mention of her until the death of her husbandj 
 in 1231.2 
 
 In the family of the Mareschals abUity and valour were a common inherit- 
 ance, and if the Earl of Pembroke was any otherwise" distinguished above 
 the four brothers who successively inherited his title and property, it was, 
 perhaps, in being less unfortunate than they were in life. Henry the Third 
 is said to have been sincerely attached to him, and exclaimed on seeing his 
 dead body, " Alas ! is the blood of Saint Thomas the Martyr not yet fully 
 avenged."^ 
 
 Eleanor was childless at her husband's death, and ample provision had 
 been made for her widowhood. By his first wife, the daughter of Baldwin 
 de Bethune, Earl of Albemarle, whom he married in 1204, the Earl of Pem- 
 broke had acquired many valuable and extensive manors, which were con- 
 firmed to him by charter in 1 230,^ with remainder to his wife Eleanor, in the 
 event of her surviving him. She had also an annuity of four hundred pounds 
 payable by his heirs out of the Irish estates of the family.

 in 1226, quoted by Sandford (Genealogical History, p. 87), and printed in the Foedera (vol. i. p. 286) ; 
 as the marriage is therein spoken of by the King as an event which had occurred some time before. 
 By some writers, however, the year 1224, is given as the date of their marriage. Ann. Waverl-,

 Within four years from the death of her husband, the Countess of Pem- 
 broke made a vow of perpetual ceUbacy to Edmund^ Archbishop of Canterbury, 
 and Richard, Bishop of Chichester, receiving the ring and mantle of profession 
 in public' This solemn engagement was as ill observed as it was, perhaps, 
 rashly incurred. 
 
 The patronage bestowed by Henry the Third upon foreigners, had its 
 origin quite as much in the necessities of his situation, as in any especial 
 prejudice in their favour. He had attempted to violate the established laws 
 of the kingdom, and the fatal example of his father instead of deterring him 
 from a like course, seems rather to have excited him to try every expedient 
 to obtain the same objects, the pursuit of which brought John to a prema- 
 ture grave, and had nearly deprived him of his throne. Having thus 
 alienated the affections of his nobility and the church, it was not easy to 
 find, among his own subjects, men sufficiently unscrupulous to aid him in 
 his endeavours to humiliate and lessen the power of the Barons, and to 
 plan and carry into execution those rapacious schemes, by which all classes 
 were in turn pillaged and oppressed. ' Such instruments of extortion were 
 readily chosen among the Poitevin and Norman adventurers, who flocked to 
 the English Court. They were promoted to the highest offices in church 
 and state, and as their sole object was to enrich themselves, and as the 
 attainment of that object depended on the maintenance of the crown in its 
 loftiest pretensions to power, the variety of their political inventions was as 
 endless as their avarice was insatiable. 
 
 Among the most distinguished aliens who repaired to England in the early 
 years of Henry's reign, few could compete, in personal and family advan- 
 tages, with Simon de Montfort. He came ostensibly to solicit the restora- 
 tion of his father's estates to his elder brother, Amauri in reahty to get ; 
 what he could in a country, like even unto a " land flowing with milk and 
 honey" to the younger branches of the French nobility. Before the success 
 which attended his appearance is related, it is necessary to give some account

 of his parentage, respecting which considerable misapprehension has Ion" 
 prevailed. 
 
 Simon IV., Comte de Montfort, second son of Simon III., snmamed the 
 Bald, eighth Baron and third Comte de Montfort, also third Comte d'Evreux 
 of the house of Montfort, by Amicia,' eldest sister and co-heiress of Robert 
 Fitz-Pemell, Earl of Leicester, inherited, in right of his mother, one moiety 
 of the county of Leicester, with the Honour of Hinckley and the office of 
 Lord High Steward of England. 
 
 Dugdale says he was created Earl of Leicester in 1206, but no charter of 
 creation is now in 'existence; the document upon which he founded his asser- 
 tion, an abstract of which follows, cannot be considered as such. 
 
 King John, by a charter dated on the 10th of March, 1206, confirmed the 
 partition of the lands and honours possessed by Robert, Earl of Leicester, 
 on the day of his death, made before him and his barons, between Simon de 
 Montfort, Earl of Leicester, and Saiher de Quenci, Earl of Winchester, to 
 this effect. Each Earl was to have one moiety of the estates ; the third 
 penny of the county of Leicester, " unde ipse comes est," the capital mes- 
 suage at Leicester, and the Stewardship,'' being reserved to Simon de Mont- 
 fort ; but to the Earl of Winchester were secured forty librates of land out 
 
 ' The name is both Amicia and Avicia, in English records. She survived her husband many 
 years, her death being subsequent to that of her brother, who died in 1204. In 1201 Simon de 
 Montfort, her son, obtained the King's license to mortgage his mother's land at Winterboume Stoke, 
 Co. Wilts., for three years (Cart. 2 Joh. m. 8, in dorso. This he did probably to raise money for 
 the purpose of joining the Crusade of 1202. — " Avec ces deux contes (Thibaut, Comte de Cham- 
 pagne et de Brie, et Louys, Comte de Blois et de Chartres,) se croisserent deux mult halt Baron de 
 France, Symons de Monfort et Renauz de Mommirail. Mult fu gran renom^e par les terres quant 
 cil deux halt homes s'en croisserent." — (Ville-Hardouin, Conqueste de Constantinople, ed. Ducange, 
 Far. 1657, p. 2.) Montfort and others withdrew from the Crusade after the capture of Zara. 
 (lb. pp. 41-2.) In 1205 the Sheriff of Wilts was directed to give possession of the manor of Win- 
 terboume Stoke to Amicia, Countess of Montfort, it being a part of her dower. The King had 
 granted the custody of it to Saiher de Quenci. (Claus. 6 Joh. m. 2.) 
 
 ' The dignity of Lord High Steward of England was originally annexed to the Honour of Hinckley, 
 and afterwards to the Earldom of Leicester. Selden's Titles of Honour, in the edition of his works 
 by Wilkins, vol. 3, col. 687-8. 
 
of the portion of Simon, until such time as the said Earl should obtain his 
 rationable share of the lands which the deceased Earl of Leicester had pos- 
 sessed in Normandy. Upon the deaths of the two Countesses of Leicester, 
 viz., PetroniUa, the mother, and Laurentia, or Lauretta, widow of the late 
 Earl, the estates held by them, in dower, were to be equally divided between 
 Montfort and the Earl of Winchester,' 
 
 Following the scanty notices of Simon de Montfort IV., which occur in 
 the records of the reign of John, we find that in 1207, he was indebted to 
 the crown, and that the custody of all his lands was given to Robert de 
 Ropeley, who was to apply the revenues thereof, in satisfaction of the King's 
 claims.^ Not long after this he was banished the kingdom, and his estates 
 forfeited.^ 
 
 Although driven from the country he appears to have had a strong party 
 among the Enghsh nobility, and he did not entirely cease to be a cause of 
 
 ' Cart. Antiq., K. 17. Notwithstanding this charter, it may be doubted whether Simon de Mont- 
 fort ever fully enjoyed the share of the Leicester estates thus secured to him. On the death of her 
 son, in 1204, Petronilla, Countess of Leicester, paid a fine of 3000 marks to obtain possession of 
 Leicester, with its appurtenances, together with the lands belonging to the Honour of Grantmesnil, 
 both within, and without the county of Leicester : all which the King granted to her. (Fines, 6 
 Joh. m. 10.) John resumed these lands in 1205, and regranted them to Saiher de Quenci for a fine 
 of 5000 marks. (Fines, 7 Joh. m. 10.) However extraordinary this proceeding may appear, it must 
 be recollected that it took place under the most profligate sovereign who ever filled the English 
 throne. Thus at the time of the charter quoted above, de Quenci was in actual possession of the 
 greater portion of Montfort's assigned share, the Honour of Hinckley being parcel of the Grsint- 
 mesnil fee, of which Petronilla was heiress. 
 
 2 Pat. 8 Joh. m. 3. In the same year Ropeley paid into the King's chamber, on the Monday after 
 the feast of St. Dunstan, one hundred and forty six pounds, thirteen shillings and four pence, out of 
 the issues of Montfort's Honour of Leicester (Claus. 8 Joh. m. 1.) ; and in the foUo^wing year, on the 
 feast of Sts. Peter and Paul, he accounted in the sum of 100 marks. (Claus. 9 Joh. m. 17.) The 
 smallness of these sums compared with the magnitude of his supposed property seems to confirm the 
 doubt expressed in the preceding note. 
 
 ' The only authority for this fact, and a worthless one too, is Knyghton, who does not give the 
 date. (Script. Decem Twysd., col. 2347.) His disgrace must have taken place Before 1208, in which 
 year he was chosen to command against the Albigeois.

 disquiet to John. In 1210 the King was on his road to chastise the Welsh 
 for their ravages on the English march, when he was stopped at Nottingham, 
 by the report of a conspiracy among the Barons, who were said to have 
 elected Montfort King of England. It is probable that this was nothing 
 more than one of the many rumours of that turbulent period, but, being 
 recorded by a contemporary annalist,' it may serve to mark the degree of 
 estimation in which the E^rl of Leicester was held. 
 
 During an exile from England protracted to the day of his death, the 
 military skill of Simon de Montfort was exhibited in the memorable crusades 
 against the unfortunate Albigeois. The history of these wars ^ is little more 
 than a catalogue of the deeds of ferocious cruelty perpetrated by his orders 
 upon the miserable people whom he was commissioned to exterminate. 
 After ten years of uninterrupted warfare, marked by atrocities which have, 
 happily, few parallels in the history of mankind, he was slain before Tou- 
 louse, in the year 1218.' 
 
 By his wife Alix, daughter of Bouchard V., Sire de Montmorenci, he 
 left four sons and three daughters. The sons were Amauri, who succeeded 
 him as Comte de Montfort, Guy, Comte de Bigorre, Robert who died un- 
 married, and Simon, the subject of the present notice. 
 
 In 1215, the last year of the reign of King John, the Comte de Montfort 
 had succeeded in obtaining the restitution of his estates, the custody of 
 which was given to Ranulph, Earl of Chester,* in trust for his use.' It

 ' He was killed by a stone discharged from the walls of the town : " obiit ad obsidionem Tolosae, 
 percussus lapide mangunelli." (Ann. de Dunstaple, i. 88 : see also L'Art de verifier les Dates.) In a 
 writ of the 18th of 'July, 1218, granting the custody of his English estates to the infamous Stephen 
 de Segrave, the King says, " audiyimus quod Comes Simon de Monte Forti in fata concessit." 
 (Claus. 2 Hen. 3, m. 3.) In the following month of August, Peter de Roches, Bishop of Winchester, 
 obtained the custody of his lands. (lb.)

 ' Pat. 17 Joh. m. 19, Hence Knyghton's error in stating that the county of Leicester, with the 
 
 C 
 
appears probable, al^o, that he was partially indemnified for the loss occa- 
 sioned by his forfeiture.' 
 
 It would not have been necessary to give this particular account of 
 the parentage of Simon de Montfort V., who acted so conspicuous a part in 
 the troubles of the reign of Henry the Third, but for the fact that, by Eng- 
 lish historians and genealogists, the Comte de Montfort has been invariably 
 confoimded with his father, Simon the Bald, Comte d'Evreux, who has thus 
 been considered to have enjoyed the title of Earl of Leicester, in right of his 
 wife f the truth being that he died twenty-three years before his brother-in- 
 law,^ Robert Fitz-Pemell, last Earl of Leicester, of the Bellomont hne. The 
 annexed pedigree of Simon de Montfort V., founded chiefly upon the autho- 
 rity of " L'Art de Verifier les Dates," and corroborated by the evidence of 
 English records, is presumed to be correct ; and wiU materially assist in 
 elucidating the narrative of his early career in England, which it is now time 
 to resume. 
 
 Already distinguished in arms, tall, handsome, and insinuating in his 
 
 Honour of Hinckley, were given to the Earl of Chester, upon the banishment of his uncle. 
 (Twysden, Script. Dec. col. 2347.) Knyghton is copied by Dugdale (Baronage, i. 752), who 
 mentions the same grant twuie, and in the second instance gives the terms of it correctly ; but he 
 evidently considered there had been two distinct charters. 
 
 ' The mayor and commonalty of Reole, were ordered to indemnify the Archbishop of Bordeaux, 
 in the sum of 20,000 shillings, (Bordeaux money ?) for which he had become John's security to 
 Earl Simon de Montfort. (Claus. 16 Joh. ra. 21.) 
 
 ' One of the first who fell into this error was Francis Thynne, alias Botteville, in his " Discourse 
 of the Earles of Leicester," printed in the original edition of Holinshed's Chronicles, but suppressed, 
 being ofiFenaive to Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester. (Hearne's " Curious Discourses," table of eon- 
 tents, art. VL) Dugdale consecrated the mistake (Baronage, i. 751), and has been copied by every 
 writer from Sandford (Genealogical History, p. 87), down to Sir Harris Nicolas (Synopsis of the 
 Peerage, i. 367). A glimmering of the truth dawned upon the writer of the memoir of Simon de 
 Montfort, in Nichols's "History and Antiquities of Leicester" (vol. i. pt. 1. p. 99); but in the 
 pedigree of the Bellomonts (p.- 98) the old story is repeated. Even Ducange represents him to have 
 been the husband, instead of the son, of Avicia. See his edition of Ville-Hardoiiin, — Observations sur 
 I'Histoire, p. 250, ed. Par. 1657. 
 ' The Comte d' Evreux died in 1181 at the latest. See L'Art de Verifier les Dates.

 address, young Simon de Montfort speedily attracted the notice and favor of 
 the weak and capricious Henry the Third.' In 1231 he obtained a grant of 
 his father's share of the Honour of Leicester,'' and in the following year the 
 King gave him all the land " with appurtenances " which belonged to " Simon 
 de Montfort, late Earl of Leicester," in England. This was, in fact a creation 
 to the Earldom of Leicester, to which his elder brother Amauri, Comte de 
 Montfort, who had assumed the title, but unsuccessfully solicited from Henry 
 a confirmation of it, as weU as the restoration of the estates, had resigned all 
 claim in his favour.* 
 
 In 1236 Simon de Montfort assisted at the marriage of Henry to Eleanor 
 of Provenge, holding the King's basin at dinner ; and in the same year he is 
 said to have conspired with Peter de Rivaux in procuring the disgrace and 
 imprisonment of Richard Sward, or Siward,* a valiant knight, distinguished 
 for his adherence to the Amfortunate Richard Mareschal, Earl of Pembroke.* 
 
 While the Earl of Leicester had been making rapid advances in the favor 
 of his sovereign, he had also succeeded in gaining the affections of the widowed 
 Countess of Pembroke. By some writers of that age Eleanor is represented 
 to have been more than imprudent in her advances to him : a statement

 this may have been her partiality towards him did not escape the notice of 
 the pious Edmund, Archbishop of Canterbury, who strongly remonstrated 
 with Henry and his sister upon the impiety of their purpose, but without 
 eflfect,' Montfort and the Countess were secretly married in the King's 
 private chapel, at Westminster, on the 6th of January, 1238. Henry gave 
 away the bride, and the ceremony was performed by one of the royal 
 chaplains.* 
 
 A chronicler who is presumed to have been contemporary with this event, 
 and who, like most of his class, is accustomed to ascribe the residts of political 
 motives, not very clear, perhaps, at the time, to some remarkable object of 
 popular wonder or dislike, attributes the voluntary esdle of the Archbishop 
 of Canterbury to his unsuccessful opposition to this marriage.' The state- 
 ment is wholly wrong. However, we are told, in language both vivid and pic- 
 turesque, that the Prelate when leaving England, stood upon a hill which 
 commanded a view of London, and extending his hands towards the city, 
 pronounced a parting blessing on his country, and a curse upon the Countess 
 and the offspring of her unholy union.* It is more than probable that the 
 unfortunate events of after years suggested the insertion of this story, so 
 creditable to the prophetical powers of St. Edmund. 
 
 ' The opposition of the Archbishop is recorded by the Chronicler of Lanercost : — " audacter 
 obstitit regi ; et sicut nobilis aries sanctus ejus prsedecessor Thomas, tuendam suscepit ecclesiae Dei 
 libertatem, sic ipse tueri nisus est sponsiE Dei castitatem" (p. 39). It will be recollected that the 
 Countess had vowed celibacy. 
 
 ' M. Paris, 393 ; Ann. Waverl., Gale, ii. 197. A strange opinion prevailed among the Chroniclers 
 that the King promoted this marriage to secure heirs to the crown, the Queen being, as yet, child- 
 less (Chron. de Lanercost, p. 39) ; and M. Paris, writing of the birth of Montfort's first child, says 
 it was born "adrcgni robur et solatium. Timebatur enim ne regina sterilis esset" (p. 407). This 
 too when Richard Earl of Cornwall was living ! 
 
 3 According to the Annals of Waverley the Archbishop joumied to Rome in 1238, upon the 
 occasion of a dispute with the monks of Canterbury, but returned within a short time : it was not 
 until 1240that he entirely withdrew firom England. (Gale, ii. 198 : M. Paris, 476.) 
 
 * " Certe etsi genuerit, semen suum non diu permanebit." (Chron. de Lanercost, p. 39.) Heming- 
 ford who omits Joan, the eldest daughter, in his account of the children of King John, and splits 
 the Countess of Leicester into two persons, attributes a similar expression to Robert Grostf te, Bishop 
 of Lincoln (Gale, ii. 560) ; he is copied verbatim by Knyghton. (Twysden, col. 2426.)

 The secret of the marriage was so carefully kept, that although it took 
 place in January, Richard, Earl of Cornwall, the King's brother, did not hear 
 of it until the following month of March, and subsequently to receiving a 
 letter from the Emperor Frederick acquainting him that his sister the 
 Empress had been dehvered of a son.' His joy at this intelligence was 
 speedily mingled with indignation when informed of Eleanor's alliance con- 
 cluded without his knowledge and assent ; and his anger was increased by 
 Henry having, with equal secrecy, married Richard de Clare, Earl of Glou- 
 cester, a rich ward of the crown, to the daughter of John de Laci, Earl of 
 Lincoln.^ 
 
 Richard accused his brother of bad faith in still continuing to foUow the 
 advice of aliens whom he had promised to remove from about his person ; 
 and of rashness in presuming to undertake affairs which so nearly affected 
 the welfare of the kingdom, without the privity of his natural counsellors.' 
 Supported in these remonstrances by the nobility who saw, in this distinction 
 bestowed upon another foreigner, that less dependence than ever was to be 
 placed on Henry's reiterated professions of amendment. Earl Richard 
 assumed an offensive attitude — " and then most certainly it was hoped that 
 he would deliver the country from the miserable rule, as well of the Romans 
 as of the other aUens by whom it was oppressed ; and all from the child to 
 the old man heaped frequent blessings upon him." The XiCgate Otho offered 
 his mediation, which was indignantly rejected, and Henry obtained, with 
 difficulty, a truce until the first Monday in Lent, to enable him to devise 
 some method of satisfying the insurgents.^ 
 
 Tlie beneficial results so anxioiisly and confidently anticipated, from this 
 shew of power and resolution on the part of the nobility, were not attained. 
 The malcontents, headed by the Earl of Cornwall, assembled in arms and 
 great force at London, on the expiration of the truce.= But while the con- 
 cessions they demanded were discussed by the King's creatures, with artfiil 
 delay, intrigue was busy with their chief. Through the intercession of

 friends, powerfully seconded by valuable presents, Montfort succeeded in 
 gaining over the Earl ; the insurgents, disgusted by the insincerity and defec- 
 tion of their leader, quickly dispersed, and the storm so suddenly raised as 
 suddenly passed away. This conduct, however, " greatly obscured the fame 
 of Earl Richard ; and thus he who had been thought a staff of strength, 
 was, henceforth, suspected/" 
 
 The Earl of Leicester found, however, that his marriage was generally 
 regarded as null and void, owing to the sacred obligation incurred by the 
 Countess during her widowhood. He withdrew, therefore, from court, and 
 retired to Leicester, where he amassed as much money as he could,, taking 
 from one burgess the large sum of 500 marks ;^ and shortly afterwards, with 
 the consent, and under the protection of the King,' set out for Rome, to 
 procure a dispensation for his wife, whom he left, pregnant, at Kenilworth, 
 to await the result of his journey.'' 
 
 In order to obtain greater influence with the Pope, Simon appUed in the 
 first instance to the Emperor Frederic. It is stated that he bore arms under 
 himj' if so, it must have been for a very short time. At length, fortified by 
 his favour and letters of recommendation, he appeared at the papal court,

 ' The words of Matthew Paris (p. 396) convey » contrary impression ; but the fact is placed 
 beyond doubt by the following letters of credence, now for the first time published. " Rex

 » The writer of the early portion of the Chronicle of Lanercost, ■*ho says he derived his information 
 from the confessor of Simon de Montfort, states that the Earl went to Rome in company with his 
 'wife, " ubi discussa eorum vel vera vel prsetensa causa a domino Gregorio papa, dispensatorie con- 
 junguntur :" but a doubt is cast upon the accuracy of his account when he proceeds to say " licet 
 idem bonae fidei comes, ob conscienticB teneritudinem, duodecim annis ab uxoris suae amplexu 
 abstinuerit ;" an assertion both false and absurd: compare M. Paris, 396. 
 ' M. Paris, 396.

 and after spending large sums of money, and promising far more than he 
 spent, finally succeeded in obtaining a dispensation, which the Legate Otho 
 was commanded to pronounce in public with due solemnity.' 
 
 This grant was severely commented upon by the English clergy, to whom 
 it seemed directly contrary to the canons of the church, and calculated to 
 compromise the sanctity of the papal character j but, as the monk of St. 
 Alban's sarcastically observes, " the court of Rome reasoned more subtilely 
 than it is permitted unto us to comprehend."* 
 
 The Earl of Leicester returned to England on the 14th of October, 1238,* 
 and was graciously received by the King and his brother. He hastened 
 from the court to rejoin his wife at Kenilworth, where their eldest son, 
 Henry, was bom on Advent Sunday following ; and baptized by the Bishop 
 of Chester, who was taken ill after the ceremony and died within a few- 
 days.* 
 
 On the 2nd of February, 1239, Henry solemnly invested Simon with the 
 Earldom of Leicester, to which dignity Amauri, Comte de Montfort, again 
 resigned all claim in his favour.' 
 
 The Earl, however, was not destined to maintain an unshaken hold upon 
 the affections of his fickle sovereign. In the following month of August 
 many of the nobles and their wives assembled in London, to be present at

 * Ibid. 407. The writer of the memoir of Simon de Montfort, in Nichols's " History and Anti-

 release was confirmed by Henry the Third, on the 17th of April, in the same year. Both docu- 
 ments are printed in the Appendix to Nichols's " History and Antiquities of Leicester," No. xvi.

 the churching of Queen Eleanor, who had given birth to Prince Edward in 
 the preceding July. Amongst the rest the Earl and Countess of Leicester 
 presented themselves to assist at the solemnity. Henry prohibited them from 
 attending ; assigned as a reason, that Simon was an excommunicated per- 
 son, who had basely and wickedly seduced his wife before marriage ; and 
 added, that he had unwillingly permitted their nuptials to conceal his sister's 
 shame. Upon this repulse the Earl and Countess withdrew to Winchester 
 House in Southwark, which, during the vacancy of the see, had been lent 
 them for a residence. From that place, however, Henry ordered them to be 
 instantly ejected. Finding that no entreaties could appease the King's real 
 or affected indignation, and dreading more serious consequences, Simon and 
 his wife, with a few attendants, took ship in the Thames the same day and 
 went over to France.' 
 
 It is possible there may have' been some foundation for this charge against 
 the Earl ; but as the King admitted his knowledge of the circumstance to 
 have preceded the marriage ; and as subsequently to that event, far from 
 shewing any displeasure, he had bestowed many marks of favour upon him ; 
 it must be obvious that Henry's sense of Montfort's misconduct was shewn 
 somewhat too late not to excite a suspicion that his sudden ebullition of 
 anger was produced by some more immediate cause than that assigned by 
 him. It wiU be recollected that the Earl of Leicester had, with Henry's 
 countenance, sought and obtained a dispensatioa for his marriage, that he 
 was compelled to bribe the papal authorities to an enormous extent, and had 
 promised more than he actually paid. Relying upon the King's favour and 
 anxiety to promote the success of his suit he had secretly and wholly ■without 
 sanction, made him a joint security with himself for the discharge of the 
 additional sums he undertook to pay.^ Having failed, eventually, to ftdfil 
 
 ' M. Paris, 422 ; " per Tamesim in cymba minima, cum uxore tunc et pauca familia ad mare 
 festinanter declinans, continuo transfretavit." 
 
 ' Henry's language, as recorded by M. Paris, is decisive as to this fact : " ad cumulum etiam mi- 
 seriiB tuse, me inconsultum et nescium, fidejussorem, per falsum testimonium, interposuisti :" p. 422. 
 It should be observed, however, that Montfort's credentials gave him full power to use the King's 
 name in the prosecution of his suit. See p. xv. ante, note 3 .

 his engagements, the hungry ItaUans applied to Henry, who then first learned 
 how greatly he had been involved by the Earl, and hence his violent burst of 
 indignation. It is quite clear that if his pocket had been untouched the 
 King would not have troubled himself about his sister's honour. The papal 
 emissaries hinted, probably, that as the price of the dispensation had not 
 been duly paid that document could be set aside as readily as it had been 
 granted ; and Simon be still held liable to excommunication. " Failing in 
 the payment of the money," said Henry, " you have deserved to be excom- 
 municated." ' 
 
 The King's resentment did not last long. After an exile of seven or eight 
 months, the Earl of Leicester succeeded in effecting a reconciliation with his 
 royal brother-in-law, and in April, 1240, returned to England, where he 
 was honourably received. The Countess being again pregnant remaiped 
 abroad.^ 
 
 His chief object during a short stay was to collect money to enable him to 
 join the Crusade, for which Richard, Earl of Cornwall and many of the Eng- 
 lish ■ nobility were preparing. He had a family motive for sharing in this 
 expedition ; his brother Amauri having been taken prisoner at the battle of 
 Gaza, the year before, was yet a captive at Babylon. On this occasion 
 Simon aUenated some of his lands, particularly the forest of Leicester, which 
 he sold to the Hospitallers and Canons of that town, for above one thousand 
 pounds.^ 
 
 We have no account of the exploits of the Earl during this crusade ; * but 
 they seem to have gained him some reputation, and he attracted the notice 
 of the nobility of the unfortunate and distracted kingdom of Jerusalem, who 
 in June, 1241, petitioned the Emperor Frederick II. to appoint him governor 
 of the country until the majority of King Conrad, and until he should

 come thither, or appoint some other deputy in the Earl's place.' The peti- 
 tion proceeds : 
 
 " And that the aforesaid Lord Simon de Montfort shall swear to keep and 
 preserve the rights of the Emperor, and of his son. King Conrad, and all 
 those who are in the land, both the going and coming, and the resident, on land 
 and sea, every one in his reason and in his right ; and to govern them by the 
 usages and customs, and by the Assizes of the kingdom of Jerusalem. And we

 in his office, and to obey him as we would the person of the Emperor ; and

 The reception this petition met with from Frederick is not known. Leices- 
 ter returned to England in the following year, and accompanied Henry in his 
 mad expedition into Poitou, where he greatly distinguished himself at the 
 battle of Xaintes. After Henry quitted the field and retired to Bordeaux, 
 where he idled his time and expended large sums of money in feasting the 
 Viscountess of Beam,' and her son, Gaston, Montfort and William, Earl of 
 Salisbury, remained with him to their great loss and embarrassment long 
 after most of the nobility, disgusted by the King's thoughtlessness and levity, 
 had returned to England. 
 
 In 1244 Simon was one of the committee, chosen by the nobility and 
 clergy to deliberate upon the grant of a subsidy to the King;" and in 1246 
 his name appears among the writers of the letter from the English Baronage 
 to the Pope, detailing the grievances inflicted upon the realm of England, 
 by the agents of the court of Rome.* 
 
 When St. Louis of France made preparations for another crusade in 1248, 
 
 ' "Mulier singulariter monstruosa, et pree grassitudine prodigiosa," says M. Paris, 526. 
 •^ M. Paris, 563-4. 3 Ibid. 613.

 Montfort, his immediate retainers, and many of the English nobles assumed 
 the cross and resolved to join the expedition.' On this occasion he obtained 
 the King's consent, that for eight years following the day of his death, the 
 revenues of all his lands of the Honour of Leicester should be applied to the 
 payment of his debts and the execution of his wUl.^ 
 
 He was prevented from fulfilling his intention, by being, in the same year, 
 appointed Seneschal of Guienne,' which had long been in a rebellious con- 
 dition, and defied aU the efforts of the King's lieutenants to reduce it to 
 order. In his government of that important province, Montfort displayed 
 great energy and ability. In the outset, he compelled Gaston de Beam to 
 agree to a trude, and then turned his arms with success against the smaller 
 rebels who desolated the country in every direction,* and whom he soon 
 succeeded in subduing. Gaston, himself, was eventually captured, and sent 
 in chains to England, Leicester shewed Uttle clemency in his treatment of 
 the conquered," and from the frequent complaints of the Gascons, during 
 his subsequent administration of their affairs, it is impossible not to beheve 
 they had every reason to be dissatisfied with his violence and oppression.' 
 
 From the year 1252, when he was recalled from Gascony,' the history of 
 the Earl of Leicester becomes an essential part of the history of England, 
 
 ' M. Paris, 645 ; who suspected he was led to this resolution by some compunctious feelings on 
 the subject of his marriage. The Countess also, is said to have taken the cross.

 ' He was appointed by Patent for six years (Ann. de Dunstaple, i. 293) ; no enrolment of it can 
 be found, but it was dated hefare the 6th of February 1249. (Pat. 33, Hen. 3, m. V-ii.) In 1252 
 Henry, who was anxious to settle the province upon Prince Edward, agreed to give the Earl 7000 
 marks (£4666. 13i. 4(i.) to surrender his office. This sum was actually paid him by instalments.

 and as such is beyond the scope of this notice ; the sole object of which has 
 been, to trace the early, and obscurer events of his life. 
 
 It is well known that he fell in the conflict at Evesham, on the 4th of 
 August, 1265 ; and the manner of his death was worthy of his reputation for 
 prowess and courage. Upon being told that his eldest, and favourite, son 
 Henry vi'as killed, he cried " by the arm of St. James, then it is time for me 
 to die ;" and grasping his sword with both hands, rushed upon his assailants^ 
 striking with such rapidity and vigour,' that a witness of the scene asserted, 
 tliat had he had but eight followers like himself, he would have changed the 
 fortune of the day. Wounded at last, by a blow from behind, he fell from 
 his horse, and was instantly dispatched, and horribly mutilated by his 
 victors.'^ According to the chronicler who describes this scene, the esquire 
 who dealt the wound which brought him to the ground, was afterwards 
 recommended by Prince Edward, to his sister, Margaret, Queen of Scotland,* 
 when they met at Haddington previously to his departure for the Holy Land, 
 and the circumstances of his death afford a curious illustration of the simple 
 manners of the Scottish court. 
 
 Queen Margaret was walking, after supper, by the banks of the Tay, at 
 Kinclaven Castle, in Perthshire, attended by her maidens and esquires, and 
 also by her confessor, who told the story to the Chronicler of Lanercost. 
 The party sat down by the river-side, and the pompous esquire who prided 
 himself upon having slain Montfort, descended to the water's edge to 
 wash his hands, which in romping he had soUed with mud. As he stood 
 leaning over the stream, a damsel came softly behind, and pushed him in. 
 He took the joke in good part ; « what do I care," he exclaimed, " even 
 though I were further out, I can swim." But while amid the laughter of the 
 spectators he floundered about in the water, he suddenly found himself 
 sinking, and shouted for assistance, which none present could render : his boy 
 who was playing near at hand, hearing his master's cries ran up and plunged 
 
 ' " Tanto spiritus impetu, tanta vi canitiei ictus vibrabat." — Chron. de Lanercost,'76. 
 2 Ibid : see also M. Paris. 3 Ibid. p. 81. 
 
into the river to save him, but they were both drowned. " Thus the enemy 
 of Simon, and servant of Sathan, who boasted he was the cause of the death 
 of a valiant knight, perished in sight of all/' ' 
 
 The career of the Earl of Leicester exhibits the singular picture of a man 
 who commenced life an object of popxilar aversion, as a foreigner raised by 
 the crown to high station and wealth ; and ended it in combating, ostensibly, 
 for the liberties of the people. But as his unpopularity, in the first instance, 
 was, in some degree unmerited, so the actions which endeared his memory to 
 the commons of England, who remembered him as " the good Comte de 
 Montfort," were far from being the result of his love of justice and liberty. 
 An alien he certainly was by birth, but he represented in the female hne one 
 of the most distinguished Anglo-Norman families ; to the title of which, 
 borne by his father before him, he had an undoubted claim : the English, 
 however, regarded him only as a stranger suddenly elevated to power and 
 clandestinely allied to the sovereign. A woeful experience perhaps led them 
 to anticipate, he might prove a worthy rival in oppression to Peter de Roches 
 or Peter de Rivaux. 
 
 Great mistakes arise both in writing and reading history, firom a confusion 
 of terms. In the thirteenth century the phrase "people of England," 
 signified the greater and lesser baronage, the clergy and the citizens of 
 London. Thus when chroniclers state that the King invaded the liberties 
 of the people, we must understand that the privileges of an aristocracy were 
 threatened, and the franchises of a city disregarded. Such were the people 
 who firamed and extorted the fallacious security of the Great Charter from 
 John, and such the people whose liberties, as defined by that charter, the 
 Earl of Leicester undertook, originally, to defend against Henry the Third. 
 But when the power of the crown was annihilated, and the sovereign

 himself a prisoner in the hands of his insurgent nobihty ; the union arising 
 from a common interest in the struggle, which had thus far ensured their 
 success, was no more. The several leaders regarded each other with distrust ; ' 
 and Leicester, whom a strong current of prosperity had hurried on, from the 
 simple vindication of acknowledged, but outraged rights, to that pitch of 
 elevation which produced an ambitious uncertainty of purpose, was com- 
 pelled to maintain his declining ascendancy among the barons, by creating a 
 new party; which should be essentially his own.^ It was thus that he first 
 breathed hfe into the real people of England, by tracing the outlines of 
 popular representation, and from being the champion of an oligarchy 
 attempted to become the dictator of a democracy. He failed in his scheme, 
 only because the nation was awkward in the use of its new privilege. To 
 say that Montfort was influenced to this course by any other than selfish 
 motives,' or that he had a just idea of the power of the machine which he 
 attempted to set in motion, would be to give him more credit than history 
 and mankind have usually granted to political inventors, and to claim for him 
 more transcendant abilities, and a mind more in advance of his age, than 
 any action of his life can warrant us in believing him to have possessed. 
 
 Popular as the Earl of Leicester was with the comilions of England, he 
 found equal favour with the English church, which he freed from papal extor- 
 tion, under which it had so long writhed. The chroniclers of his deeds were 
 churchmen ; to them no epithet of praise seemed too extravaganf to be

 him after the battle of Lewes. M. Paris, 854-5. 
 
 ' The first writs for the election of knights of the shire and burgesses were not issued until the end 
 of the year 1264 and the beginning of 1265. 
 
 ' An inspection of the Patent and Charter Rolls for the period between the battle of Lewes and that 
 of Evesham will show that Montfort lost no time in securing to himself and family all that he possibly 
 could. These documents have been used for the notes to the Household Roll ; and many of his acqui- 
 sitions are noticed by Dugdale (Baronage, i. 751 et seq).

 applied to him, and their gratitude invested with the dignity of a martyr and 
 a saint,' a man who perished under sentence of excommunication.^ 
 
 Of the personal character of Simon de Montfort Kttle is known. He was 
 eminent for prowess and courage in an age essentially martial ; and, like his 
 father, remarkable for cruelty, amid the general ferocity of his time. His 
 favourite oath has been recorded. He swore "by the arm of St. James" 
 when he assented to the constitutions of Oxford,^ and the same exclamation 
 escaped him as he rushed upon certain death at the battle of Evesham. 
 
 By the Countess of Pembroke the Earl of Leicester had five sons ; Henry, 
 Simon, Guy, Amauri and Richard ; and a daughter named Eleanor. 
 
 Henry de Montfort, as already mentioned, was slain with his father at 
 Evesham. He was the godson of King Henry ; and Prince Edward, who 
 had passed his boyhood in his company, and was greatly attached to him, 
 assisted in person at his funeral.* Simon, after the surrender of Kenilworth 
 Castle in December, 1266, fled abroad, and was shortly followed by his 
 brother Guy, who had been imprisoned in Dover Castle, but bribed his 
 keepers and escaped.' The two brothers went to Tuscany ; and when Henry 
 the son of Richard, King of the Romans, passed through Italy in the suite of 
 Philip of France, on his return from the Holy Land, in I271, they met and 
 assassinated him, while at mass in the church of St. Lawrence, at Viterbo.*

 The baseness of this deed was aggravated by the circumstance of Simon 
 having been indebted for his own life to the intercession of the King of the 
 Romans, when he surrendered to the royal party, at Northampton, in 1266.' 
 Of Amauri, Richard, Eleanor, and the Countess, some further account will be 
 given hereafter. 
 
 The curious Household RoU of the Countess of Leicester, which has called 
 forth the preceding remarks, commences on Thursday, the 19th of February, 
 1265. Before proceeding to examine such portions of it as exhibit ghmpses 
 of the domestic economy of a person of rank in the thirteenth century, it is 
 important to shew that the history of the few eventfid. months preceding the 
 final struggle between Montfort and the royal party, derives some illustration 
 from its contents. 
 
 The consequence of the victory gained by the Earl of Leicester at Lewes, 
 on the 14th of May, 1264, had been to place in his hands the persons of 
 
 at Viterbo on the morrow of the Feast of St. Gregory, the day of the murder. The French King's 
 account is as follows. "Ad vestrae serenitatis notitiam jocundiores libenter dirigeremus rumores, si 
 nobis eos divina miseratio indulsisset. Sed nunc nova quffidam molesta et tristia vobis compellimur 
 ixunciare, quae nos in crastino beati Gregorii existentes Viterbii, et in ecclesia Fratrum Minorum 
 Viterbiencium missarum solempnia audientes ex relatibus quorundam fidedignorum didicimus ; vide- 
 licet, quod Gwydo et Simon de Monteforti, milites, in karissimum consanguineum nostrum dominum 
 Henricum, priraogenitum vestrum, dum, dictis die et hova, in quadam alia capella Viterbii ante suum 
 hospitium esset, causa audiendi missam, seu orandi, manu irruerunt armata, et ibidem eum, insti^ante 
 diabolo, occiderunt, quod vobis referimus non absque vehementi cordis nostri amaritudine et dolore." 
 This document, as yet unpublished, is preserved in the contemporary Chronicle, in the MS. entitled 
 " Liber de Antiquis Legibus," belonging to the Corporation of London. It is said they mistook 
 Henry for Prince Edward (Chron. de Lanercost, p. 91). Matthew of Westminster agrees with the 
 preceding narration, and relates that the event was commemorated by a painting on the wall of the 
 church, executed at the expense of the citizens of Viterbo (p. 401). According to the same writer 
 
 and Walsingham, the church was dedicated to St. Silvester, not St. Lawrence. (Ibid Walsin-'ham 
 
 p. 44.) It should be obsenred, however, that M. Paris (p. 859), the Chronicle of Lanercost fp. 91), 
 and Walsingham (p. 44), mention Guy only, as the perpetrator of the crime. 
 
 1 M. Paris, 857. M. of Westminster tells us that Simon died in the same year, 1 27 1, in a castle near 
 Sienna ; p. 401 . On the other hand, the Annals of Dunstable say that he and his brother Richard 
 died in France : ii. 419. Guy married in Italy. -SeeDugdale.

 Henry the Third and Prince Edward, of Richard, Bang of the Romans and 
 his two sons, Henry and Edmund, the former of whom was called Henry of 
 Germany. At the close of the year 1264, Prince Edward was imprisoned 
 in Wallingford Castle.' Bearing in mind these facts we shall now proceed to 
 trace the movements, and, as far as possible, the actions, of the Comitess 
 during the year 1265. 
 
 On the 19th of February we find her at Wallingford. On the 20th she 
 moved to Reading, accompanied, among others, by her youngest son Richard 
 de Montfort; and on the 22nd arrived at Odiham Castle,^ where she 
 remained until the 1st of June, 
 
 On the 17th of March, Prince Edward and Henry of Germany came 
 from Wallingford to Odiham, in the company, or rather custody of Henry 
 de Montfort.^ They seem to have repaired thither to await the coming of 
 the Earl of Leicester, who was expected, and arrived on the 19th.^ Their 
 retinue was considerable, for the number of horses in the castle stables was 
 increased, by their coming, from 44 to 172; and after the Earl reached 
 Odiham the number rose from 172 to 334.' 
 
 The Earl stayed a fortnight with his wife ; leaving on Wednesday the 1st 
 of April.^ 
 
 ' M. Paris. " pp. 3-4. ' p. 13. 
 
 ' These facts corroborate in some degree, the remark with which the continuator of Matthew Pans 
 begins the year 1265. — " Comes autem Simon Regem Angliae, et Jilium ejus Edwardum eductum u 
 IValingfordia, secum tam anno prseterito quam pKesenti circumduxit." His statement, however, 
 that the King of the Romans was imprisoned in the Tower of London, and that Prince Edward and 
 Henry of Germany were sent to Dover Castle, is entirely disproved by the roll ; which shews that 
 the King was confined at Kenilworth ; and if Edward was at Dover, at all, in 12C5, it could only have 
 been for a few days, as he was at Odiham till the 1st of April, and escaped from Hereford, on the 
 28th of May. It is possible that Henry of Germany may have remained with the Countess for a 
 short time after the departure of the Earl, as we find an item for the food of his hounds, besides 
 payments to his huntsmen (pp. 15-32-36-40), but they left Odiham for Woodstock on the 30th of 
 May.

 Among the guests entertained by the Countess during her residence at 
 Odiham, were the Abbot of Waverley,* who visited her on the 24th of 
 February, and again on the 25th of April; some of the Nuns of Wintney, 
 Master Nicholas a physician, the Prioress of Wintney, Robert de Brus, Sir 
 Thomas Astley, a Warwickshire knight, the Prioress of Amesbury, the 
 Countess of Oxford, and her son Amauri de Montfort, Treasurer of York, 
 who came with 13 horses. On the 14th of April, the Countess fed eight 
 hundred paupers, who consumed, inter alia, three quarters of bread and a tun 
 of cider.^ 
 
 At this time, and indeed for long afterwards, Richard, King of the Romans, 
 was in confinement at KenUworth castle, whither the Countess sent to him, 
 on the 30th of March, dates and spicery;' on the 3rd of May, her tailor 
 purchased for him, at London,* twelve ells of scarlet cloth for his robes 
 against the feast of Whitsuntide ; and six eUs and a half of rayed cloth, dyed 
 in grain, for his son Edmund, for whom, also, were bought nine eUs of 
 rayed cloth of Paris, to make a smnmer robe, tunic and cloak. The tailor 
 purchased besides the above, four satin hoods for the King and his son ; 
 one fur and a half, and a hood of miniver ; the King had the hood. These 
 articles were dispatched to Kenilworth on the 9th of May.' 
 
 Among the items of the Countess's miscellaneous expenditure, while at 
 Odiham, may be noted a payment of 10.«. to the nvms of Wintney,' for 
 working a cape for her chaplain ; and the purchase at London of laurel-oil.^ 
 One of the damsels, perhaps Eleanor de Moutfort herself, being unwell, a 
 barber is brought from Reading to bleed her.^ Master Roger, Prince 
 Edward's barber, had his biU, or the arrears of his salary,- paid, amounting to 
 13.S. \.d?

The movements of the Earl of Leicester during the early months of the 
 year 1265, are very indistinctly related by the continuator of Matthew 
 Paris,' We have already seen that he was at Odihara from the 19th of 
 March to the 1st of April; from two payments to couriers sent to him with 
 letters, it appears that the Countess believed him to be at Gloucester, on the 
 30th of April, and at Hereford, on the 29th of May.'' It was in the evening 
 of the 28th of May that Prince Edward escaped from his custody at Hereford.' 
 On the 1st of June, by which time the news of that important event might 
 have reached her, the Countess left Odiham, and travelled* during the night 
 to Porchester, under the guidance of Dobbe her parker, or shepherd.' 
 
 Her retreat to Porchester was probably induced by its being a stronger 
 place, and, at the same time, garrisoned by her son Simon.^ The Countess 
 could not but have foreseen that the escape of the Prince would produce 
 important consequences, to meet which she endeavoured to make due 
 preparation. 
 
 At Porchester the Countess remained until the 12th of June, and then 
 proceeded to Bramber Castle, by way of Chichester, where she dined. ' From 
 thence to Wilmington on the 13th; to Winchelsea, through Battle,^ on 
 Sunday the I4th,° and arrived at Dover on the following Monday." Her 
 journey from Porchester to Dover seems to have been made in great haste. 
 Many horses and carts were borrowed and hired for the carriage of her 
 attendants and luggage. Among others the Countess of Arundel lent a 
 chariot and five horses ; the Prior of Tichfield sent a hackney which was

 ridden by a damsel, and a horse belonging to the Prior of Southwick carried 
 Hicqe the Countess's tailor.' Her retinue altogether required 84 horses, 
 that being the number provided for at Bramber,^ and besides this a portion 
 of her baggage, or " harness/' was sent round by sea to Dover, the hire of 
 the boat costing 'Js. Jd.^ 
 
 At Dover the Countess, and her women, were lodged in the castle :* the 
 rest of the household appears to have been quartered in the town. She was 
 now in a secure position. Her son Henry was constable of Dover, and 
 Warden of the Cinque Ports ;' and although at this time he was absent from 
 his charge, the castle was garrisoned by the Leicester faction. She had the 
 command of the sea, and, should the course of events require it, could escape 
 from the country with speed and safety. In her journey along the coast the 
 Countess had not omitted to endeavour to secure the fidelity of the Cinque 
 Ports. During her short stay at Winchelsea, on Sunday the 14th, she gave 
 a dinner to the Burgesses, at which two oxen and thirteen sheep were eaten, 
 besides a due proportion of other fare.' Some idea may be formed of the 
 number of the guests, when it is found that provision was made for 195 
 horses ; the number in her own train being only 84 ; the other 111 appear 
 to have belonged to the retinue of her son Simon, whom she met at Wil- 
 mington and who escorted her from thence to Dover. 
 
 On Wednesday, the 1 7th of June, she entertained the Burgesses of 
 Sandwich ■/ and on the next Sunday sent wine to the ambassadors of the 
 King of France,^ Sir Drogo de Noyon and Friar Boniface ; and lodged and 
 rewarded two monks of Hereford, who had, probably, brought the ambassa- 
 dors from that town whither it is beheved they had been to see the Earl.' 
 
 By the latter end of June the aspect of the Earl of Leicester's affairs 
 became very serious. Prince Edward, having raised a large army, had over-

 ninthe counties of Hereford, Worcester, Salop and Chester; taken the town 
 of Gloucester by assault ; and was preparing to effect a junction with the 
 forces led by the Earl of Gloucester.' Before he could engage their united 
 armies the Earl required to be reinforced : and, on the 24th of June, Simon 
 de Montfort, jun., marched from Porchester ^ to Tunbridge ' on his way to 
 join his father, whom, it appears probable, he had agreed to meet at Kenil- 
 worth Castle. On this emergency the household of the Countess suppUed 
 him with nine horses, four of which belonged respectively, to her cook, clerk, 
 butler, and farrier.* The roll shews that Simon passed through London,' on 
 his road to Warwickshire, with the double object, perhaps, of confirming the 
 citizens in their rebellion, and of gathering recruits among them ; on the 8th 
 of July the Countess sent Sir Fulk Constable and others who had recently 
 joined her at Dover, together with Master WilUam an engineer, to join him 
 at the capital. They received 20s. for their expenses.* 
 
 It is well known that Leicester never received this expected aid. Edward, 
 who had notice of their march to KenUworth, joined the Earl of Gloucester ; 
 left Worcester, on the evening of the 1st or 2nd of August, and surprising 
 them while asleep in their camp without the walls of the castle, slew a great 
 number, and captured the earl of Oxford, with other persons of note. Simon 
 with the remnant of his followers barely succeeded in retreating into the 
 fortress.^ From KenUworth the Prince returned to Worcester; and the 
 position he subsequently occupied with his allies, effectually prevented the 
 Earl from joining his son, and the son from marching to the assistance of his 
 father. Under this disadvantage Leicester fought the battle of Evesham, on 
 the 4th of August.

 We now return to the Countess, at Dover. On Sunday, the 12th of July, 
 some of the Burgesses of Sandwich and Winchelsea dined with her.' The 
 men of the latter place were again entertained on the 30th. 
 
 On the 1st of August, she sent a messenger to the Earl, and paid the 
 freight of a ship which brought an engine, probably, a mangonel, firom 
 Pevensey to Dover j^ a sign that she was providing for the defence of the 
 place. On the 12th, Richard de Montfort came by sea from Winchelsea, in 
 a ship with a crew of about one hundred sailors, for which 100s. were paid.^ 
 
 We now meet with items which point to the end of this eventful story. 
 On the 15 th of August, a letter is brought to the Countess from Prince 
 Edward ;* it would be assuming too much to suppose it was the first notifi- 
 cation she received of her husband's fate ; the news must have reached Dover 
 much sooner through those who escaped the slaughter of the fight.' How- 
 ever, on the 19th of August, she makes an offering of 12s. 9d. for the repose 
 of his soul,^ and on the 3d of September, a further sum of 7*-'' is given for 
 the same object. There is also a payment, without a precise date, for 12 eUs 
 of black say for a robe and nether garments for Richard de Montfort.^ 
 
 The daily account of the household expenditure ends on the 29th of 
 August,' at which time the Countess seems to have experienced a scarcity of 
 provisions at Dover, as during the last week certain oxen and sheep were 
 procured by foraging.'" 
 
 The misceUarieous expenditure, however, yields glimpses of her proceed- 
 ings until the end of September ; and aifords a remarkable confirmation of 
 the general truth of the fact mentioned in Henry's letter to the King of

 France, which is given in the Appendix, No. III.,' viz. that the Countess 
 sent her sons Amauri and Richard to France with a large sum of money, 
 1 1 ,000 marks. We have no mention of Amauri, but on the 13th of Septem- 
 ber, there are purchases of shoes of cow-hide, russet boots, and other articles 
 of dress for Richard de Montfort; and on the I8th of September, 26s. 8d. 
 were paid for his passage to Gravelines.^ His destination was Bigorre; 
 whither he was preceded by Peter de ViQeneuve and Amald de St. Crist who 
 had not long before arrived in England,* probably with letters to the Coun- 
 tess, from her kinsman Eskivat,^ Count of that district of France. 
 
 On the 29th of August, the Countess discharged Master William the 
 engineer," a circumstance which leads to the beUef, that she had abandoned 
 all notion of defending Dover Castle : but from messengers being sent to 
 Kenilworth on the 2nd of September^ and 1 st of October^ it may be pre- 
 sumed she took a great interest in the preservation of that stronghold, which 
 was now the rallying point of the scattered adherents of her late husband. 
 When the garrison were summoned to surrender to the King in the early 
 part of the year, 12G6, they repUed they had received the custody of the 
 castle from the Countess of Leicester, " lately driven from the kingdom, 
 and that they would not treat with any living person for the surrender of it, 
 excepting the Countess herself were present."* Accordingly they defended 
 the place for six months, when, their stock of provisions being exhausted, 
 they cfvpitulated, on the 21st of December.' 
 
 The latest date mentioned in the roU is the 1st of October, in which month 
 it is believed the Countess of Leicester withdrew from England. The con- 
 tinuator of Matthew Paris says she left the country soon after the battle of 
 Evesham.'"

 Such are the remarkable points in the history of the Countess of Leicester 
 and her family, during the year 1265, as developed by her Household Roll. 
 Much minuter detail is necessarily left to be gleaned by the curious anti- 
 quary; as an attempt to weave the less important facts into a narrative 
 form, would have extended this notice beyond all reasonable limits. 
 
 " After leaving England, the Countess took up her residence in the Domin- 
 ican convent at Montargis, which had been founded by one of her husband's 
 sisters.' In 1266 St. Louis of France attempted to effect either a reconciliation 
 between Eleanor and her brother Henry, or to procure the restitution of her 
 confiscated estates. Henry's reply is printed in the Appendix,^ after advert- 
 ing in strong language to the injuries he had suffered from the Earl of 
 Leicester and his sons, as well as from the Countess, he agrees to abide by 
 any decision, which, after due consideration of the case, Louis might arrive 
 at. It does not appear that any arrangement was made during the short 
 time that Henry the Third survived his sister's banishment. However in 
 1273, her nephew Edward the First, restored the lands which she had held 
 in dower from the Earl of Pembroke, her first husband.^ She died in 
 1274.^ 
 
 A.mauri de Montfort who was deprived of his ofiice of Treasurer of York 
 three days after the battle of Evesham,* accompanied his mother to France, 
 together with his sister Eleanor, who had been contracted, during her father's 
 life time, to Llewellyn, Prince of Wales.^ In 1276 she embarked under the 
 protection of Amauri to join her intended husband, but was captured near 
 
 tenus reversura." Her native country was England, for " petiit," therefore we should read reliquit.

 the Scilly Islands,' by four ships belonging to the port of Bristol.* Their 
 captors sent them to Edward, who placed Eleanor in the family of his Queen, 
 and imprisoned Amauri, first at Corfe, and afterwards at Sherborne Castle.' 
 
 The King's motive for treating him thus severely was that he believed him 
 to have been an accomphce of his brothers Guy and Simon in the murder 
 of Henry of Germany.'' There is every reason to believe that Amauri was 
 in Italy about that time, as the Bishop of Chichester on his return from 
 Rome (whither he had been sent by the Legate to answer to the Pope for 
 his adherence to the Earl of Leicester) received him into his train with the 
 intention of taking him to England. Edward was so much irritated at this, 
 that he immediately took possession of the Bishop's barony and ordered an 
 armed galley to be on the look out to capture them in crossing the 
 channel." They seem however to have got scent of the King's intention, and 
 therefore stopped short at Paris, upon which Edward dispatched an emissary 
 thither for the purpose of luring them into his hands, a plan which failed of 
 success.' 
 
 In 1279 Edward married Eleanor to Llewellyn with great pomp, paying the 
 expenses of the ceremony.'' Amauri was set at liberty in 1280,'* at the inter- 
 cession of Pope Martin IV., or, according to others, of Peckham, Archbishop 
 of Canterbury. He was one of the executors of his mother's will, some pro- 
 ceedings respecting which are noticed in the Appendix.' After his liberation 
 he repaired to Rome, obtained a remission of his vows as an ecclesiastic,'" and

 Montfort went to Bigorrej nothing certain is known of his after career. ^ 
 
 We have nOw to consider the household roU of the Countess of Leicester 
 in relation to the domestic economy of her age ; in doing this it will be 
 desirable to throw together some general observations upon the private life 
 of the English during the thirteenth century. 
 
 The first item which occurs in the daily accounts of provisions consumed 
 in the family is bread. It is apprehended, however, that grain or flour was 
 designated by the general term "panis." We ^cidpanis taken out of store, 
 purchased, or sent by the reeves of the Countess's manors ; and the quantity 
 is measured by the quarter or bushel. The words "panis defroille," which 
 frequently occur, probably signified ground corn ; that is supposing "froille" 
 to be a derivative of the old French \&Tax, froyer, to break or crush." 
 
 It would appear that bread of difiierent degrees of fineness was used ; thus 
 there is " bread purchased for the Countess,"^ and " bread for the kitchen." 
 Loaves or cakes made of bolted flour, and called " boletella," are twice men- 
 tioned,'' as well as " gastelli," cakes or wastels, perhaps biscuits ; ' on one 
 occasion half a quarter of flour is set down for pastry.* It is reasonable 
 to infer that the bread generally used in the family was made of the 
 grain called mystelon, a term yet in use at the beginning of the sixteenth 
 century, and applied to a mixture of wheat and rye.^ As the dogs were fed 
 
 ' He is said to have eventually settled in England under the assumed name of Wellysbome ; an 
 assertion founded upon tvf o or three deeds of very doubtful authenticity ; see extracts from them in 
 the " History and Antiquities of Leicester," vol. 1, pt. ii. App. p. 39. 
 
 ' It is possible, though we do not think it probable, that " panis de froille" or " froyle," meant 
 grain brought from the village of Froyle, in Hampshire. See p. 41, first lines of the last paragraph.

 with corn ' it may be concluded that the servants fared no worse ; at any 
 rate there is no distinct notice of bread made of barley, oats, or the more 
 inferior grain which were commonly used in France and other countries.^ It 
 is not clear that their bread was leavened with yeast as that article occurs but 
 once,' and then in connection with malt. 
 
 The price of the quarter of wheat or rye, varied from 5s. to 5s. Sd. ; of 
 oats from 2s. to 2s. 4d.;* twenty-five quarters however were bought at Sand- 
 wich, at Is. lOd,^ When grain was brought from the Countess's manors, 
 some of the prices were rather below the average. The bailiff of Chalton 
 was allowed 5s. the quarter for wheat, 4s. for barley, and 2s. 4d. for oats; " 
 the bailiff of Brabome had 4s. 4«?. for wheat, and Is. 3d. for oats.' 
 
 The item which follows bread is wine, of which only two sorts are named 
 in the early part of the roll, red and white. The wines drank in England 
 during the thirteenth century came chiefly from Guienne ; others were from 
 the vineyards of Anjou, Aucerne and Poitou. Gascon wine is not specially 
 mentioned until towards the end of the document, in August,^ when that, 
 and the wine called Bastard became the general drink of the family. The 
 term Bastard was given to all mixed ' and sweetened wines ; an English 
 writer, however, who lived in the early part of the fifteenth century, reckons 
 Bastard among those wines which were naturally sweet, and, therefore, 
 unwholesome.'" It is called sweet wine in the roll. Little information is

 ' From an account of the bailiff of the royal manor of Marlborough it appears that the grains 
 generally cultivated in the thirteenth century were wheat, " berecom," barley, " dragg", vetch and 
 oats ; with beans and pease. Rot. Pip. I. Edw. 1. ( 2aus Rot. Comp. in dorso.)

 given as to the price of wine : we find that the sum of 9s. 2d. was paid for 
 twenty-two gallons,' and that two tuns cost 31. 6s. 8d.^ 
 
 Turning from wine to beer, it may be remarked that in the thirteenth 
 century the English had no certain principle as to the grain best suited foi* 
 brewing. The roll shews that beer was made indiscriminately of barley, 
 wheat, and bats, and sometimes of a mixture of all.' As the hop was not 
 used we may conjecture that the produce of their brewing was rather insipid 
 and not calculated for long keeping : it was drank as soon as made. To 
 remove the mawkish flatness of such beer it was customary to flavour it with 
 spices and other strong ingredients ; long pepper continued to be used for 
 this purpose some time after the introduction of hops.* The period at which 
 the last-named plant became an ingredient of EngUsh beer is not precisely 
 known. It was cultivated from a very early date in Flanders and Belgium, 
 where it was both employed in brewing, and eaten in salads ; ' and from those 
 countries it was imported into England while the produce of our own hop- 
 grounds was inconsiderable. It would appear, however, that hops were 
 used in this country for brewing, in the beginning of the fifteenth century, 
 as Gilbert Kymer in his " Dietary," pronounces beer brewed from barley, 
 well hopped {bene lupulata,) of middling strength, thin and clear, well fined, 
 well boiled, and neither too new nor too old, to be a sound and wholesome 
 beverage.^ It is pretty certain, nevertheless, that in his time the hop was 
 not grown in England.''

 In ancient days brewing was almost solely managed by women,' and till 
 the close of the fifteenth century the greater part of the beer houses in Lon- 
 don were kept by females who brewed what they sold. It wiU be observed 
 that the Countess had employed a breweress of Banbury, whom she dis- 
 charged on 2nd of March, paying 5s. for her wages and Is. 6d. for her 
 expenses homewards.^ On another occasion the brewing was performed at 
 the Maison Dieu at Dover, the brethren or sisters of which, hke the gene- 
 rality of monastic folk, were probably skilled in the art, through long prac- 
 tice in brewing for themselves. They had the draflf for their pains.^ 
 
 The quantity of beer consumed in the family was very great. On the 
 18th of April, they brewed five quarters of barley, and four of oats : on the 
 25th of the same month they purchased 188 gallons of beer, and on the 
 29th brewed again, seven quarters of barley and two of oats being used. 
 
 The prices of the different kinds of malt are not distinctly given. Two 
 quarters of wheat-malt, eight quarters, two bushels of barley-malt, and four 
 quarters of oat-malt cost 43*. d^d.^ At Odiham the sum of 2s. 3d. was 
 paid for malting twenty-seven quarters of wheat.' The cost of beer when 
 purchased varied, from something less than a halfpenny, to three farthings 
 per gallon. 
 
 Flemings, and forgerie dailie practised in this kind of ware, gave us occasion to plant them here at 
 home : so that now we may spare and send manie ouer vnto them." He wrote in the middle of the 
 xvith century. The brewer of Henry VIII. in the beginning of whose reign, according to Fuller, 
 they were first generally introduced (Worthies, i. 337), was enjoined not to put hops or brimstone 
 into the king's ale. Archicologia, vol. iii. p. 157.

 wood at four shillings, which I buye, my hops at twentie pence, the spice at two pence, seruants" 
 wages two shillings six pence, with meat and drinke, and the wearing of my vessell at twentie

 Before quitting the subject of fluids it may be noted that cider is men- 
 tioned once, but in such a manner as to convey the impression that it was 
 not in very great estimation ; the Countess gave one tun among eight hun- 
 dred paupers.' The little cider used at this period was, probably, imported 
 from Normandy. 
 
 As the family consumed so much wine and beer it is not probable that 
 they dranls any very considerable quantity of water. That necessary article, 
 however, was sometimes purchased for general purposes,^ and, when not 
 actually bought, the necessity of bearing it from a distance, led to a compa- 
 ratively large expenditure.^ 
 
 Milk, of which a good deal was used daily, ought, perhaps, to be con- 
 sidered under another head, but for the sake of convenience it is here 
 included among other hquids. The minuteness of these details may be 
 shghtly relieved by giving Master Gilbert K}Tner's estimate of the compara- 
 tive value of the several varieties of it : " lac vero mulierum est optimum 
 genus lactis, deinde azinarum, deinde caprinum, deinde cameUinum, deinde 
 equarum, deinde vaccinum, de hinc ovinum."* Although cow's milk stands 
 fifth in his list we may safely assert that it satisfied our ancestors as well in 
 the thirteenth as in the fifteenth century. Cream and butter were occa- 
 sionally purchased, but not in very large quantities.' It is possible that both 
 were scarce. Cheese is mentioned rather frequently, but it seems to have 
 been oftener cooked than eaten raw ; the favourite method of preparing it for

 doubting the cleanliness of the Countess, when it is seen that her washing bill from Christmas to the 
 end of May amounted to 15d. only (p. 41.). It should be observed, however that, as some of her 
 under garments were made of prepared sheepskin, they were, probably, cleansed in another way.

 table was in the shape of tarts ; " casd pro tartia."^ Kymer believed that 
 cheese taken after dinner acted, " tamquam ciborum oppressor,'^ but adds 
 this salutary caution ; " modicum tamen quia durae est digestionis, et melan- 
 coliam multiplicat."^ A poise of cheeses contained sixteen, and cost 8*.,^ but 
 we have no knowledge of the precise weight of the poise. 
 
 The reader of the roll wiU not fail to observe the strictness with which 
 Lent was observed, as well as the general abstinence from flesh meat on 
 Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, a subject which naturally leads to some 
 enquiry respecting the fish most in repute during the century to which the 
 document belongs. 
 
 The distinguishing peculiarity not only of Enghsh but of European taste 
 in food, during the middle ages, was a predilection for strong, and, in some 
 cases, for coarse flavours. To what other cause can we ascribe the appear- 
 ance of the flesh of the whale, grampus, porpoise, sea-calf, sea-wolf and other 
 such fish, at the tables of sovereigns and people of rank, by whom they 
 were considered delicacies ? 
 
 The practice of eating the whale and grampus may be traced, in England, 
 to the Saxon sera. In the law made by King Ethelred, which regulated the 
 tolls to be levied at Billingsgate, the men of Rouen who came " cum vino 
 vel craspice," are mentioned; under the term " craspiscis," were com- 
 prised the whale and other blubber fish. As the twentieth piece of the fish 
 was to be exacted for toll, we may infer that it was imported either dried or 
 salted.'' 
 
 The first use of these fish has been attributed to that remote period when 
 
 ' Brie cheeses were known in England during this century. In 1278 Edward the First sent his 
 tailor, Adinett, to Paris, to make various purchases ; inter alia, he bought " of Thomas le Gaunter 
 one hundred cheeses of Brie, for the King and Queen, price 35s." Rot. Miscell., in Tnrr. Lond.,

 the herring and cod were unknown. However this may have been it is cer- 
 tain that the custom continued long after the latter and better fish became 
 plentiful and cheap. The salted herrings of Yarmouth were in great repute 
 during the twelfth century ; yet, we see that choice morsels of whale were 
 eaten, by way of variety, during Lent, and other fasting times, at a period 
 when, in addition to herrings, salted cod, and hake or Poor John, had been 
 long in general esteem as Lenten food. Indeed it is not quite certain that 
 these gross fish were entirely out of vogue in the fifteenth century ; for Kymer 
 expressly denounces the flesh of the whale, sea-calf, cuttle-fish, &c. as highly 
 prejudicial to health.' So late as the year 1531, the porpoise is enumerated 
 among the fish to be served at the table of Henry the Eighth ; and if one 
 fish should be more than a horse could bear, due allowance was to be made 
 to the purveyor for the expense of carriage.^ 
 
 Some notion may be formed of the quantity of whale, &c. which was 
 eaten in England during the thirteenth century, when we find Henry the 
 Third, in Lent 1246, ordering the Sheriffs of London to purchase for him, 
 in the city, 100 pieces of the best whale, and two porpoises -.^ the roll informs 
 us that two hundred pieces, or two cwt., were bought for the Countess of 
 Leicester and tlie King of the Romans, previously to Palm Stinday, 1265,* 
 besides which grampus or porpoise, and sea-wolves, are mentioned several 
 times during Lent.' It is obvious that the whale fishery during these times

 ^ Archseologia, vol. iii., p. 157. Two methods of dressing porpoise are described in a cookery book 
 of the fifteenth century, as follows : — " Purmenty wyth Purpaysse. — Make thin ffurmenty in the 
 maner as I sayd before, save temper it up wyth almaunden mylke, and sugre, and saffroun. Than

 than serve forth." MS. Harl. 279, fol. 14. b.-33 b.

 must have been far more extensive than is supposed, to have furnished the 
 European markets with the requisite quantity of fish. It is beheved that 
 England was supplied from Normandy; the whale fishery was early, and 
 long, a soiu'ce of wealth to the towns on the coast of that province.^ 
 
 In so large a fish some parts, were, of course, more prized than others ; 
 the tongue and a portion of the tail were esteemed dehcacies ; and, if from 
 the French fashion of cooking it, we may guess at the English mode, the 
 flesh was either boiled with peas or roasted.^ 
 
 It seems from the following anecdote that, during Lent, certain fish were 
 eaten on particular days, and that the sea-wolf, the modem name of which 
 is not very clear,' was not so large but that it might be served up whole. 
 It chanced that Richard de Clare, Earl of Gloucester, paid a visit to Robert 
 Grost^te, Bishop of Lincoln, who received him with great honour, and com- 
 manded his seneschal to prepare a dinner of more than usual costhness. 
 At table the Earl was seated at the right hand of his host, who ordered the 
 attendants to serve him to every thing first. It was one of those fish days 
 when it was customary to eat choice sea wolves, and the servants thinking to 
 please their master placed a large fish before the Bishop and a small one 
 before the Earl: Grost^te, however, looked angrily at the seneschal, and 
 said, " take that fish away from me, or give one of equal size to the Earl ;" 
 upon this the servants asserted they could not find another so large ; " then," 
 said the Bishop, " set aside the whole of this for alms, and give me a smaller 
 one like the rest." This proceeding greatly surprised the Earl of Gloucester, 
 who, when the repast was over, could not reiirain from asking the Bishop, 
 how he, a man of humble birth, had acquired so much courtesy.*

 The staple article of food during Lent in the household of the Countess, 
 was salted herring ; hundreds of which were consumed daily.' Besides this, 
 however, the list of fish eaten by them at different seasons of the year is 
 far from inconsiderable. We find the names of conger, ling, cod, both fresh 
 and salted, hake, sturgeon, mackerel, stockfish, mullets, bar, flolmders, 
 salmon, plaice, sea-breams, soles and dories; among sheU-fish may be 
 enumerated oysters, weUcs, crabs, and shrimps ; and of fresh-water varieties 
 the dart, eels, lampreys,^ and cray-fish. 
 
 Of these several sorts, besides the herring, cod, and hake, were either 
 dried or salted for storing ; such 'as the mullet, mackerel and sturgeon.* 
 Pickled salmon is not named in the roU, although in general demand at the 
 time, as well as what was called " powdered salmon ;'' the fish being merely 
 sprinkled with dry salt. In the document already quoted on the subject of 
 whale, the sheriffs are directed to send the King twelve powdered salmon, 
 and four salmon in bread.* It was a very common. practice to bake or boil 
 fish in paste, either for immediate use, or for the convenience of preser- 
 vation and transport to a distance ; but this method of cooking was more 
 frequently applied to fresh-water species, and in particular, to the bream and 
 pike or lucy.° The roU affords a sUght clue to the manner of performing 
 
 • In 1238 the Flemish fishermen were so much Eilarmed by the news of the invasion of Hungary 
 by the army of Okta'i, the son and successor of Genghiz Khan, that they would not venture over to 
 Yarmouth, as was their annual custom. Their absence caused such a glut in the English market, 
 that four or five hundred of the best herrings sold for a shilling. M. Paris, 398. 
 
 2 The best English lampreys were taken in the Severn. Those of Nantes, however, were con- 
 sidered superior. In 1231 a ship freighted with these fish, for the use of Henry the Third, was 
 wrecked near Freshwater, in the Isle of Wight ; whereupon the bailiffs of the Island were ordered to 
 impanel a jury, to enquire what persons had found the said lampreys " which Osbert Percehaye 
 brought with him from Nantes," and to cause them to be given up without delay. Kot. Claus., 15

 way in which they were applied must be left to the learned in cookery to 
 explain." 
 
 The Earl of Leicester seems to have been rather choice in reference to 
 fresh-water fish ; upon his arrival at Odiham, a man was dispatched to the 
 Bishop of Winchester's ponds at Farnham, where with several assistants he 
 continued to fish, for eleven days.^ Some also, perhaps eels, was brought 
 from Staines.* 
 
 As fennel is mentioned,' we may infer that it was already customary to 
 serve it with fish ; a fashion said to have been borrowed from the Florentines. 
 Kymer recommended that all fish should be dressed with fennel, mint, and 
 parsley.* He remarks also, that in his time some persons considered salmon 
 and trout unwholesome food, on account of the redness of their flesh, for 
 which, in his own opinion, they were all the better.'

 The roll presents nothing worthy of remark on the subject of animal-food. 
 We find the usual fare of beef, mutton, veal and pork : with the occasional 
 variety of kid's flesh, and venison. The prices of animals vary considerably ; 
 two oxen, four sheep and three calves were bought for 22s. lOd. ; m one 
 instance two calves cost \s. 6d., in another a sheep and a calf were worth 
 3s. 3c?.' Kids came either out of the stores of the different castles, or from the 
 Countess's manors. Although venison is mentioned more frequently to- 
 wards what we should call the proper season, it was eaten also in the spring. 
 On Sunday the 10th of May there is an item of 6d., expended upon the 
 dogs, in hunting a stag.^ 
 
 Of the feathered tribe, capons, fowls and geese^ are named, but the general 
 term " pullagium," may have comprehended other species. There is no 
 distinct mention, however, of swans, herons, peacocks, bitterns and other 
 strong flavoured birds so much in favour at the time. We find a payment 
 to a boy, for seeking a crane in a well,* and it is possible that, if caught, the 
 unfortunate bird may have been devoured. 
 
 Eggs seem to have been an important item in the culinary processes of 
 the thirteenth century. The price of them varied from 3|«?^ to Ad^. per 
 hundred. In one instance they were paid as rent.^ On Easter Sunday 
 upwards of twelve hundred were purchased ;^ of which the greater part were, 
 probably, stained and given away as Pasque eggs. 
 
 It cannot fail to be remarked, in perusing the roU, that very few esculent

 peas and new beans,' are the only species named. Pot-herbs of which the 
 names are not specified, but which served eleven days, cost 6d.^ If any 
 other vegetables were in general use at the time, they were, perhaps, com- 
 prised under the term " potagium."^ There is, however, much uncertainty 
 upon the subject of the cultivation of vegetables, in this country, during the 
 thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. Cresses, endive, lettuce, beets, par- 
 snips, carrots, cabbages, leeks, radishes, and cardoons were grown in France 
 during the reign of Charlemagne ;'' but it is doubtful whether many of these 
 varieties had penetrated into England at an early period. The most skilful 
 horticulturists of the middle ages were ecclesiastics, and it is possible that 
 in the gardens of monasteries many vegetables were reared which were not 
 in common use among the laity .^ Even in the fifteenth century the general 
 produce of the English kitchen garden was contemptible when compared 
 with that of the Low Countries, France and Italy. Gilbert Kymer can enu- 
 merate only, besides a few wild and forgotten sorts, cabbage, lettuce, spinach, 
 beetroot, trefoil, bugloss, borage, celery, purslane, fennel, smallage, thyme 
 hyssop, parsley, mint, a species of turnip, and small whi te onions. Accord- 
 ing to him, all these plants were boiled with meat. He observes also that 
 some were eaten raw, in spring and summer, with olive oil and spices, but 
 questions the propriety of the custom.^ This is, perhaps, the earUest notice 
 extant of the use of salads, in England. 
 
 V Although the information furnished by the roll on the subject of vegetables 
 is very scanty, it is still more meagre in relation to fruit. The only kinds 
 named are apples and pears : three hundred of the latter were purchased at 
 Canterbury ;' probably from the gardens of the monks. It is believed, how- 
 ever, that few other sorts were generally grown in England before the latter 
 end of the fifteenth century : although Matthew Paris, describing the bad

 ' The cabbage and colewort -were cultivated by the Saxons, who called them " kale ;" it seems 
 probable, however, that they were not much attended to after the Conquest.

 season of 1257, observes that "apples were scarce, and pears scarcer, while 
 quinces, vegetables, cherries, plums and all shell-fruits were entirely de- 
 stroyed,'" These shell-fruits were probably the common hazel-nut, walnuts, 
 and perhaps chestnuts; in 1256 the Sheriffs of London were ordered to 
 buy two thousand chestnuts for the King's use.^ In the Wardrobe Book 
 of the 14th of Edward the First before quoted, we find the bill of Nicholas, 
 the royal fruiterer ; in which the only fruits mentioned are pears, apples, 
 quinces, medlars and nuts. The supply of these^ from Whitsuntide to No- 
 vember, cost 21/. 14s. 1^^.' 'i;his apparent scarcity of indigenous fruits 
 naturally leads to the enquiry, what foreign kinds besides those included 
 in the term spicery, such as almonds, dates figs and raisins, were imported 
 into England in this and the following century ? In the time of John and 
 of Henry the Third, RocheUe was celebrated for its pears and conger eels ; 
 the sheriffs of London purchased a hundred of the former, for Henry, 
 in 1223.* In the 18th of Edward the First, a large Spanish ship came to 
 Portsmouth ; out of the cargo of which the Queen bought one frail of 
 Seville figs, one frail of raisins or grapes, one bale of dates, two hun- 
 dred and thirty pomegranates, fifteen citrons and seven oeanges.' The 
 last item is important, as Le Grand d'Aussy could not trace the orange in 
 France to an earlier date than 1333 ;" here we find it known in England 
 in 1290 ; and it is probable that this was not its first appearance. The 
 marriage of Edward with Eleanor of Castile naturally led to a greater 
 intercourse with Spain, and, consequently, to the introduction of other 
 articles of Spanish produce than the leather of Cordova, olive-oil and rice, 
 which had previously been the principal imports from that fertile country, 
 through the medium of the merchants of Bayonne and Bordeaux. It is to 
 be regretted that the series of Wardrobe Books is incomplete, as much addi- 
 tional information on this point might have "been derived from them. At all 
 events it appears certain that Europe is indebted to the Arab conquerors of

 Spain for the introduction of the orange, and not to the Portuguese who are 
 said to have brought it from China. 
 
 An English dessert in the thirteenth century, must, it is clear, have been 
 composed chiefly of dried and preserved fruits ; dates, figs, apples, pears, 
 nuts, and the still common dish of almonds and raisins.' A curious anecdote 
 related of Robert de Coquina, Bishop of Durham, who died in 1284, shews 
 that it was customary to blanch the almond for table. He kept* two female 
 apes, one older than the other. On a certain day, after dinner, feeling more 
 inclined to be diverted than to eat, he ordered a silver dish which stood 
 before him, filled with blanched almohds, to be placed on the floor beside the 
 younger animal, the elder being kept back from it. The favoured ape, 
 fearing she might be robbed by her companion, hastily crammed all the 
 fruit into her left jaw ; and was making off with the spoU, when the other, 
 being set loose, seized her by the right cheek, and in spite of all resistance, 
 forced open her mouth, and deliberately eat every almond, to the great 
 amusement of the Bishop and his company.^ 
 
 Owing to the partiality of the ancient English for strong and savoury 
 flavours, already adverted to, a great variety of spices were used in the compo- 
 sition of sauces and other branches of cookery ; they, likewise, entered largely 
 into the manufacture of those costly drinks and cordials so much in fashion 
 during the middle ages. The natural flavour and strength of wine did not 
 suSice ; it was sometimes sweetened with honey,"* often burnt, and more

 frequently thickened by boiling, with the addition of the most stimulating 
 aromatics. 
 
 All dried fruits as well as spices, properly so called, were anciently com- 
 prised under the general term spicery. The dealers in these rare commodities 
 were styled Spiders, and as their trade was carried on with those countries 
 of the East, which, in addition to the production of spices, were more skilled 
 in manufactures than the nations of Europe, they imported not only the 
 aromatics, but, also, the rich silks, fine linens, baudekins and gold-stuffs of 
 Asia. It was this branch of commerce which enriched the Basings, Hardels, 
 Rokesleys and Gisorses, those haughty merchants and barons of London, in 
 the thirteenth century, who, said Henry the Third, in a fit of spleen, would . 
 have purchased the treasures of Octavian, had they been offered for sale.' 
 
 The spices named in the roU are aniseed, cinnamon, cloves, galingal, ginger, 
 and pepper J besides these cubebs, mace, and grain of paradise, or grain de 
 Paris, although not specified, were in general use at the time. Among spices 
 were included rice, saffron, and sugar. 
 
 The history and antiquity of the spice trade has been so often and so ably 
 related, that, in this place, it will be sufficient to observe that Alexandria 
 , was the mart from which Europe was supplied in early times, through the 
 agency of the merchants of France and Italy .^ It may be doubted, however, 
 whether, as has been frequently asserted, aU the rice and sugar used in 
 Europe during the twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth centuries came from 
 that place. That some kinds of sugar did, is certain; but the sugar of 
 Alexandria seems to have been a great rarity in England during the reign of 
 Henry the Third. In 1226 the King sent a writ to the mayor and burgesses 
 of Winchester, directing them to forward to him at Marlborough, three

 = It was not until after the Crusades that spices became generally diffused in Europe. Much 
 valuable information upon this subject will be found in the learned essay, by M. de Guignes, " Sur

 tions et Belles-Lettres, tome 37, p. 467. m. 
 
pounds of choice sugar of Alexandria, if so much could be found in the city 
 of Winchester, and, if it could not be had, they were to send as many pounds 
 of sugar of Buza. They were to send also one pound of rosy sugar, and one 
 pound of violet-coloured sugar, three ounces of violets, and one ounce of 
 mastic' Now at the period in question Winchester was almost as great an 
 emporium for merchandise of every description as London ; a circumstance 
 partly the result of the frequent presence of the court in that venerable town, 
 but, chiefly, of the great fair of St, Giles's Hill, to which traders from all 
 parts were accustomed to repair; and from which also the merchants of 
 London drew a portion of their supplies. The place called Buza cannot be 
 readily identified ; it was, probably, some Eastern city celebrated for the 
 manufacture of sugar ; but it is believed that the coloured sugars referred to 
 by the King were made in Europe. The cane had been cultivated, from a 
 very remote date, in Sicily, and is said indeed to be indigenous in that island ; 
 we have every reason to believe that the sugar commonly used in England 
 in early times was made by the Italians.* 
 
 The invention of the art of refining sugar has been ascribed to the Arabs. 
 It is not known when the process was first employed in Europe. Le Grand 
 d'Aussy could not cite an earlier mention of white sugar, than that which he 
 found in the Household Account of Humbert, Dauphin de Viennois, for the 
 year 1333;' the Leicester Roll proves that it was used in England in 1265. 
 On page 71 will be found an item for fourteen pounds of sugar, which cost 
 28s. ; the scribe had originally written that this sugar was purchased to make 
 "white powder," — " ad album pulverem •" these words, however, he struck 
 out, and it will be seen that the item immediately following is, "for iiij. 
 pounds of white powder, 8s." If sugar were never purchased to make 
 white powder, he would not have committed this error in writing his 
 account, and when to this presumptive evidence we add the fact that white 
 powder bore the same price as sugar, viz. 2s. the pound, no other conclusion

 can be drawn than that it was white sugar pounded. To' this we may add 
 that in 1256 Henry the Third ordered the Sheriffs of London to send 
 " four loaves of sugar" to Woodstock, where in company with the King and 
 Queen of Scotland he celebrated the feast of the Assumption.* 
 
 No doubt a considerable quantity of rice was imported from the east, 
 during the middle ages ; but it may be observed that the Arabs had intro- 
 duced the cultivation of it into Spain, where it is still grown in the proAance 
 of Valencia ; and that, from Spain, the plant was at an early period, trans- 
 ported to Italy.*

 ^ It must not be supposed from the low prices of some of these articles that they were generally 
 used in the country; the arrival of a ship laden with spices was an event of such importance, and 
 perhaps rarity, that the King usually hastened to satisfy his wants before the cargo was landed. 
 Thus in the 10th of Henry the Third, the bailiffs of Sandwich were commanded to detain, upon their 
 coming to port, two great ships laden with spices and precious merchandises, which were expected 
 from Bayonne; and not to allow any thing to be sold until the King had had his choice of their 
 contents. Claus. 10 Hen. 3, m. 3.

 We find occasional items for the purchase of table Hnen, plates, dishes, 
 and drinking cups : and there are two payments for making cases for the 
 Countess's knives, probably those used at meals. 
 
 The roU affords little information respecting dress, and that little is not 
 remarkable for novelty. Woollen cloths were long the chief material of male 
 and female attire. When new the nap was generally very long ; and after 
 being worn for some time it was customary to have it shorn ; indeed this 
 process was repeated as long as the stuff would bear it. Thus we find the 
 Countess sending Hicqe, the tailor, to London, to get her robes re-shom. 
 
 Among the materials for dress mentioned, are linen, sindon, which has 
 been variously interpreted to mean satin or very fine linen ; scarlet and rayed 
 or striped cloths, of Flemish,' French or Italian make ; pers, or blue cloth, 
 for the manufacture of which Provence was famous ; " russet, say or serge, 
 and blanchet or blanket, a name which, it is beheved, was then given to 
 flannel. The furs named are squirrel and miniver. For some trifling par- 
 ticulars respecting hose, boots, and shoes the reader is referred to the docu- 
 ment itself. 
 
 Two passages in the roll, possessing literary interest, must not be over- 
 looked. They relate to the cost of a pocket breviary made for the use of 
 Eleanor de Montfort. Twenty dozen of fine veUum were purchased for it, 
 at the price of lOs. and the writing, which was executed at Oxford, cost 
 14*.' 
 
 We may note, as a striking peculiarity in this document, that the house- 
 hold servants are generally distinguished by Saxon names ! we have Hande 
 and Jacke of the bake-house; Hicqe the tailor, Jacke the keeper of the 
 Countess's harriers, Dobbe the shepherd ; Diqon, Gobithesty, and Treubodi, 
 who were often employed in carrying letters ; as well as Slingaway, a courier,

 whose name is most apposite, and was derived, possibly, from his gait and 
 manner. 
 
 In concluding these remarks it is indispensable to observe, that, during 
 the year 1265, prices were, probably, higher than usual, owing to the 
 troubled state of the kingdom, and to the ravages committed both by the 
 royal party and by the adherents of Leicester. Vast quantities of grain and 
 provisions of all kinds were bought up, or seized, to store castles and victual 
 troops ; by which the general supply of fairs and markets was materially 
 diminished ;' while the insecurity of travelling limited the traffick of mer- 
 chants and, consequently, enhanced the value of every species of commodity. 
 The continuator of Matthew Paris thus terminates his account of the year in 
 question. " The past year was fruitful, temperate, and healthy ; but grievous 
 in all the affairs of England, by reason of the general war, of the King's cap- 
 tivity, and of the lamentable ^poil of public and private property." * These 
 facts should be carefully weighed before any general conclusions are drawn 
 from the prices set down in the roll. 
 
 With respect to the value of money in the thirteenth century it is sufficient 
 to say that one shilling then would purchase as much as fifteen now.' 
 
 The original roll seems to have been taken by the Countess of Leicester 
 to France ; and after remaining fpr more than five centuries in that country, 
 perhaps in the archives of the monastery at Montargis, where she fixed her 
 residence, it at length found its way back to England, and was purchased in 
 1831 by the Trustees of the British Museum ; it is No. 8877 of the Addi- 
 tional MSS. The document is thus described by a former French possessor. 
 
 1 In May, 1265, Leicester sent writs, in the King's name, to the Sheriffs of Hereford, Salop, and 
 Stafford ordering them to prohibit the holding of fairs and markets in their respective counties, and 
 to proclaim that all pro-visions for sale should follow the royal person. — Rot. Claus. 49 Hen. 3 m. 4.

 It is needless to enter into any lengthened statement to prove that the 
 date thus assigned to the roll is an anachronism. The facts that the Earl 
 of Leicester, his son Henry de Montfort and others who were slain at 
 Evesham are mentioned in it as alive, and that the Countess withdrew from 
 England soon after that battle shew that it cannot be given to a later year 
 than 1265. To these however we may add further and more conclusive 
 proofs. The wages of servants are calculated by the regnal year of Henry 
 the Third, that year being his forty-ninth, and the dates of the moveable 
 feasts in 1265 coincide with those given in the roU. 
 
 As we find that servants' wages were computed by the regnal year it is 
 reasonable to suppose that the roll, which in its present state is obviously 
 imperfect, commenced in October 1264; the 19th of that month being the 
 anniversary of Henry's accession. That some matter preceded that which is 
 at present the commencement of the document, is clear from the absence 
 of a title, and the language of the accountant who refers to persons " afore- 
 said" as forming part of the family on the 19th of February: the last mem- 
 brane yet bears marks of another having been originally sewn to it : the ac- 
 count was probably continued up to the time of the Countess's departure 
 for France.

 This Household Roll is believed to be the earliest known memorial of the 
 domestic expenditure of an English subject ; there are a few royal accounts 
 of earlier date. It is in a remarkable state of preservation considering its age 
 and the accidents to which aU manuscripts are exposed until placed in secure 
 custody. It was written by more than one person, but the character of aU is 
 that which may be called the chancery or clericalhand of the time of Henry 
 the Third. As no useful end would have been attained by preserving its 
 contractions and peculiar orthography, the former have been extended 
 and the latter modernised ; occasional foot notes being added to indicate 
 the alterations introduced into the text. 
 
II. Rolls containing the payments made by the 
 Executors of Eleanor, Consort of Edward the 
 First. 
 
 Few materials are extant for the lives of the early Queen-consorts of 
 England. It was only when some of them emerged from the privacy of domes- 
 tic life into the field of politics and intrigue, or when scandal grew busy with 
 their fame, that contemporary annalists going beyond a mere eulogy of 
 their personal charms have left us a degree of information respecting them 
 which rather serves to excite than to satisfy curiosity. No equivocal re- 
 putation is associated with the name of Eleanor of Castile. She never 
 swerved from the position which fortune assigned her, nor failed to perform 
 the gentle and peaceful duties which belonged to it. The memory of her 
 unobtrusive virtues and worth passed away with those who had witnessed, or 
 were the objects of, her care and solicitude, and thus it is, that in attempting 
 the present notice, with all the aid derivable from the records of her time, our 
 narrative wiU present little more than a sketch of the circumstances attending 
 her marriage and her death.- 
 
 After the recall of the Earl of Leicester from Guienn? in 1252' those 
 intestine troubles were renewed which the energy and severity of his admi- 
 nistration had temporarily suppressed. The exhausted treasury of Henry 
 the Third and the unwillingness of the EngUsh to grant supplies pre- 
 vented him, for some time, from taking effectual steps to coerce the insur- 
 gents. At the moment when his authority in the province was at its lowest 
 
 ' See p. xxi, ante. 
 i 
 
Iviii 
 
 ebb, Alphonso the Tenth, King of Castile and Leon, whose scientific acquire- 
 ments obtained him the surname of El Sabio, or the Wise, laid claim to it, 
 alleging that the province belonged to him in right of his great-grandmother, 
 Eleanor, daughter of Henry the Second and Eleanor of Aquitaine, who had 
 received it in dower upon her marriage with Alphonso III., King of Castile, 
 in 1170.' 
 
 Alphonso was supported and encouraged in these doubtfiil and obsolete 
 pretensions by a party in the province headed by the turbulent Gaston de 
 Mon9ade, Vicomte de Beam.^ The rapid spread and success of this faction 
 roused Henry to a sense of his danger, and having at last succeeded in 
 wringing a subsidy from the English upon condition of strictly enforcing the 
 provisions of the Great Charter,^ he determined to employ it in reducing 
 Guienne to obedience. Upon his arrival there in 1253 he undertook several 
 expeditions against the rebels which terminated with success, for the Gascons 
 were at once taken by surprise at his unwonted energy and terrified by the 
 savage mode of warfare which he adopted. Their vineyards were rooted up, 
 their crops destroyed and amid this general desolation they exclaimed, that 
 the King was a greater enemy to them than the Earl of Leicester had ever 
 been.'' 
 
 To secure the advantages he had gained Henry, always partial to negotia- 
 tion, resolved if possible to conciliate the King of Castile, who notwithstanding 
 the TVgent soUcitations of the insurgents had hitherto delayed advancing to 
 their assistance. With this view he sent ambassadors to the Spanish court, 
 to demand Eleanor the half-sister of Alphonso in marriage for Prince Ed- 
 ward,' upon whom he had already settled the sovereignty of Guienne. 
 Alphonso complied with his request upon condition that the Prince should 
 be sent into Spain to complete the marriage. To this, Henry, after some 
 hesitation,^ assented and in 1254 Edward proceeded to Burgos where he was 
 graciously received by Alphonso, who knighted him and celebrated the

lix 
 
 marriage with great pomp.' The Prince and his bride returned to Bordeaux 
 bringing with them a charter bearing a golden seal,^ by which the Spanish 
 sovereign rehnquished, in favour of them and their heirs, all claims upon the 
 province of Guienne. 
 
 The English had suffered so much from Henry's costly patronage of 
 foreigners that it is not surprising they should have regarded this aUiance with 
 aversion. They asked what assistance the King of Spain, surrounded by 
 domestic foes and separated by distant lands and varjring climates, could 
 afford their sovereign against his natural enemies the French. They said the 
 King knew " the habits and religion of the Spaniards, who were the very 
 refuse of mankind, hideous in their persons, contemptible in their dress, and 
 detestable in their manners." ^ They computed moreover that Henry had 
 spent in this expedition into Guienne, whereby he had gained no more than 
 he before possessed, at least twenty-seven thousand pounds,* besides having 
 lavished lands and pensions upon people unworthy of his favour. It was re- 
 marked that after the conclusion of the marriage the fame of the King of 
 Spain spread far and wide, while the King of England who had parted with 
 the finest provinces of his realm to establish his son, daily lost credit.^ 
 
 Henry left Guienne in the autumn of 1254 and on his return to England 
 passed through Paris, with a retinue so numerous and splendid as to have 
 astonished the French. It was on this occasion that he gave that costly en- 
 tertainment to St. Louis, which was called;^the "Feast of Kings." ^ Prince 
 Edward and his wife remained in Guienne until the following year. 
 
 It was not long before the consequences of the Spanish alliance, foreseen

 ^ It is still preserved in the Chapter House, Westminster : there is a fac-simile of it in Rymer ; 
 we may observe that this charter did not confer the honour of knighthood upon Edward, as has 
 been often stated ; it merely recites that Alphonso had knighted him.

 by the English, began to appear. While Henry was preparing for the war- 
 hke journey which he undertook into Scotland, in 1255, to avenge the insults 
 offered, by Robert de Ros and John Baliol, to his sister and her husband,' 
 he was apprised that ambassadors from the King of Spain were on their way 
 to England. They were the Infante Don Sancho, Archbishop-elect of 
 Toledo, Eleanor's brother, and Sir Garcias Martinez, a Spanish nobleman of 
 some celebrity.2 The reason for their coming was not publicly known, but 
 it was whispered among the people, that they expected to increase their 
 wealth by the rich presents they were sure to receive from the King, " who 
 was wont to distribute, indiscriminately, among such persons all that he 
 extorted from his own subjects." ^ It is just possible that the real object of 
 their visit was to prepare for the reception of Eleanor. 
 
 Henry, who was at Nottingham when he received the first notice of their 
 expected arrival, immediately dispatched a precept to Reginald of Cobham, 
 Sheriff of Kent and Constable of Dover Castle, commanding him^to receive them 
 " honourably and courteously," in person, on their landing ; to supply them 
 with all necessaries while they remained within his jurisdiction and to conduct 
 them to the New Temple, London, which was appointed for their residence.'' 
 The Sheriffs of London were ordered to pay fifty marks to Edward of 
 Westminster, the King's architect, the Constable of the Tower and John of 
 Southwark, to be by them expended in " shewing honours'' ^ to them on their 
 arrival in the metropolis. John Gizors, Chamberlain of London, was 
 directed to deliver four tuns of wine to be deposited for their use in the 
 cellars of the Temple,^ and Richard de Montfitchet, keeper of the King's 
 forest in Essex, had commands to slay ten fat deer and take them to the same 
 place, that a well stored larder might await their coming.' 
 
 It is possible, however, that the King thought his preparations were rather 
 too liberal, for on the 15th. of September, being then at Wark Castle, in

 Northumberland, he sent a secpnd precept to Reginald of Cobham, saying 
 that although he had previously ordered him to pay all the expenses of the 
 said ambassadors until their arrival in London, it was not necessary that he 
 should do so : it would be sufficient to receive them with honour, to dis- 
 charge the port-dues for their passage, to present them daily with gifts from 
 the King, but to let them travel to London at their own cost.' This last 
 injunction does not seem to have been strictly obeyed, as Reginald of Cob- 
 ham was allowed, upon rendering his accoimts at the Exchequer, £79 4*. 4d. 
 which he had expended in defraying their expenses from Dover to London. 
 
 They reached the capital about the end of December. The Mayor and 
 Sheriffs had strict commands to receive them with that honour and respect 
 which the King was most anxious should be shewn them." In their suite 
 came two jongleurs^ belonging to the household of the King of Castile, 
 and a serjeant named Gonsalvo who h^d in charge a present of Spanish 
 horses and a sbield, for Henry.'* The Londoners, however, were scandalised 
 to see the Archbishop-elect, a boy of twenty, riding in great state, wearing a 
 ring on his thumb, and bestowing his benediction on the people : they re- 
 marked that their manners were utterly at variance with Enghsh customs 
 and habits ; that while the walls of their lodgings in the Temple were hung 
 with silk and tapestry, and the very floors covered with costly carpets,' their 
 retinue was vulgar and disorderly, and that they had few horses, but many 
 mules. Notwithstanding the King's injunctions, the popular feelings on 
 these subjects were vented in abusive language and sarcastic allusions to the 
 gluttony and luxuriousness of this fresh supply of aliens.^ 
 
 The arrival of Eleanor followed shortly after that of her brother. The 
 records of the time enable us to trace the preparations for her reception. 
 On the 27th of July, the King, then at Nottingham, sent an order to the

 keeper of the Mint at London, to deliver twenty marks to William of Glou- 
 cester, the royal goldsmith, for the purpose of making a silver alms-dish for 
 Eleanor's use.' On the 22nd of August, Edward of Westminster purchased, 
 by the King's directions, -twelve silken cloths, viz. six of Arras and six of 
 gold, which were to be sent without delay to Dover, that they might 
 be ready against her arrival ; as oblations to be presented by her in the 
 great monasteries between Dover and Westminster. He brought also two 
 golden fermails, or brooches, each worth ten marks, to be oifered at the 
 shrines of St. Thomas at Canterbury and St. Edward at Westminster.^ On 
 the 22nd of September, Reginald of Cobham was ordered to receive her in 
 person, on landing, to lodge her honourably in the castle, and to conduct her 
 from thence to London.^ 
 
 Although expected about the Feast of St Michael,* Eleanor did not reach 
 Dover until the beginning of October. She landed with a great retinue, but 
 a very scanty wardrobe ;* this we may suppose she intimated to her father-in- 
 law, who directly ordered his Treasurer to transmit her a hundred marks to 
 provide what she most needed, and to send her at the same time a handsome 
 palfrey.^ On her road to London she stopped two days at Canterbury, by 
 Henry's desire, to celebrate the feast of St. Edward : ? the bailiifs of the town 
 were commanded to supply all necessaries for the solemnity and the amount 
 of their expenditure was £29 lis. l^d. ^ 
 
 Eleanor arrived in London on Sunday, the Feast of St. Etheldreda, I7th 
 of October, 1255.^ The King and court, the mayor, citizens and clergy of 
 London went forth in solemn array to meet her, and conducted her through 
 the city, which was hung with many coloured cloths fbene cortinata) and 
 variously decorated, to Westminster where, she found her apartments, 
 through the care of the ambassadors who had preceded her, adorned with 
 costly hangings, like a church, and carpeted, after the Spanish fashion.'"

 Upon witaiessing these expensive preparations for her reception the national 
 prejudices, already alarmed at the number of Spaniards who accompanied 
 her, again broke forth. Although the Londoners in obedience to the King's 
 orders* had received the Princess with songs, music, and other "joyfiil 
 devices," they began to mock and sneer at such outrageous pomp and 
 expense, which experience told them would soon affect their own pockets. 
 At this djstance of time their fears and lamentations would appear ludicrously 
 absurd did we not know how much they had suffered from the foreign con- 
 nections of the throne. Some, says Matthew Paris, dreaded that the country 
 would be "violently seized" by an inroad of Spaniards,^ while "grave 
 persons and discreet men, pondering over future chances, sighed from the 
 depths of their hearts, carefully considering the gratifications which the King 
 lavished upon all aliens. For the honours shewn to the Spaniards caused the 
 wonder and astonishment of all, nor was it surprising. The English, therefore, 
 were inconsolably sad because among all nations they were held in least es- 
 teem by their own sovereign, and were threatened with irreparable ruin." ^ 
 
 Edward returned from Guienne on the 29th of November, and was received 
 in London with the same respect which had been shewn to his wife.* 
 
 Soon after Eleanor's arrival her brother the Archbishop of Toledo t ook 
 his departure.' Henry presented him, on leaving, with four hundred marks 
 and commanded the sheriff of Kent to give him and his retinue a speedy 
 passage from Dover.^ The two jongleurs who accompanied him received a 
 gift of twenty-shillings each, and Gonsalvo, the serjeant, forty .' Sir Garcias 
 Martinez, however, seems to have been so well pleased at his reception in 
 England, that he stayed some time longer. In the first instance Henry 
 granted him an annuity of 100 marks ;^ and when, early in December, 
 he talked of returning to Spain, gave him a hundred pounds towards his

 expenses.' There was probably some difficulty in finding this money, for Sir 
 Garcias still lingered; at length on the 8th of December the King sent a 
 peremptory mandate to the Treasurer to deUver to Martinez all the money 
 and jewels promised him ; and if there should not be sufficient in the 
 treasury to enable him to do so, he was directed to pawn such of the royal 
 jewels as might be in his keeping, either to " Jews or Christians," to make 
 up the necessary sum; and to shew such diligence in the business that 
 Sir Garcias and his followers might be no longer delayed for want of their 
 presents, nor the King put to further cost for their maintenance.^ This im- 
 pignorating process was not very speedily completed, as Martinez did not 
 leave England until June, 1256.' 
 
 It soon became manifest that the English were not deceived in supposing 
 that the Spanish alhance would call into being a fresh crowd of applicants 
 for the favours of their profuse sovereign. Even before Eleanor reached Eng- 
 land the knights of the Spanish order of St. Jago petitioned Henry for a 
 grant of lands in England and their request was seconded by Alphonso. The 
 king replied with many compliments that when he saw " a suitable occasion 
 and place he would readily take care to do that which should add to the 
 honour and profit of their order ."^ In 1256 Matthew Paris observes that 
 " the King's Poitevin brothers, the Provenjals, and now the Spaniards and 
 Romans are enriched with daily augmenting wealth, and elevated to honours, 
 while the English are discarded.'^ In the same year the' number of foreign 
 annuitants was increased by the coming of Eleanor's brother, the Infante 
 Don Henry who had fled from Spain after an unsuccessful revolt against 
 Alphonso.* « The King," says the same author, " according to his custom 
 towards all foreigners, opened the bosom of consolation, and ordered all 
 necessaries to be abundantly suppUed to him : and entrusted him and his

 followers to the charge of William Bonquer, knight, who knew the Spaniards 
 and their manners and customs, having been several times ambassador from 
 the King of England to the King of Spara." ' Contemporary records prove 
 the truth of this statement ; in August 1256 the Sheriff of Oxford was 
 ordered to pay Bonquer thirty marks for Don Henry's expenses,^ and in 
 October the King gave him a hundred marks.' Yet at this very juncture 
 Henry was resorting to all expedients to replenish his treasury exhausted by 
 the enormous expense of his expedition to Guienne, and by the futile efforts 
 he was now making to place his second son Edmund on the throne of Sicily. 
 His debts, as he said himself, amounted to two or three hundred thousand 
 marks " it was horrible to think of them.""* In this state of things his 
 attempts at retrenchment in some matters were as ridiculous as his lavish 
 expenditure in others. Guy de Lusignan, Henry's uterine brother, offered as 
 his mite towards paying off the royal creditors, to be content with one gown, 
 instead of, perhaps two or three, for the feast of Christmas 1256: the King 
 caught eagerly at this generous proposal and directed his tailor Roger to 
 deliver him but one, which however was to be in every way suitable " to so 
 great a man."" 
 
 The poverty of the father was shared by the son. For although Henry 
 had settled Guienne, Ireland, Wales and Chester upon Edward, and calcu- 
 lated his annual revenue therefrom at fifteen thousand marks,^ it is more 
 than probable the Prince did not derive so much from these grants. Guienne 
 was still unquiet and certainly impoverished ; Ireland the mere shadow of 
 a possession,; and the Welsh who had been goaded into revolt had over- 
 run the principality of Chester which, though the smallest, was, perhaps, 
 the most profitable of his territories.' The dower of Eleanor was only a 
 thousand pounds a year arising from the castles and towns of Grantham,

 Stamford, the Peak and Tickhill.' Edward's pecuniary means were in- 
 sufficient for the payment of bis retainers, who consequently indemnified 
 themselves by plundering in every direction, and their excesses became so 
 grievous thsft the tyranny of Henry seemed to grow petty compared with 
 the outrageous proceedings of the followers of his son.^ Matthew Paris 
 describes the family of Edward to have been composed of a rabble rout of 
 ruffians and robbers, who plundered the pack-horses and carts of merchants 
 and seized by force the provisions of their fellow countrymen. The conduct 
 of the Prince himself encouraged their insubordination. The same author 
 relates, as one of many instances of his cruelty, that in travelling in a quiet 
 district in time of peace he ordered his servants to stop a youth whom he 
 met on the road, and to cut off his ears and put out one of his eyes ; and 
 this from mere ferocity.' Such was the youthful character of the monarch 
 whose wise proceedings in after years have obtained him the honourable name 
 of the English Justinian; and such the family into which Eleanor at the 
 age of fifteen passed from the court of her brother. 
 
 , From the year 1256 to the time when she accompanied her husband to 
 the Holy Land, Eleanor's name is scarcely mentioned by contemporary 
 writers, except to record the births of her children. In 1258 Edward's 
 poverty obliged him to mortgage his best possessions to William de Valence 
 his father's uterine brother.'' During the contest between Henry the Third 
 and his barons Eleanor resided chiefly at Windsor Castle, which she was 
 compelled to quit for Westminster after the battle of Lewes in 1264.' In 
 the following year Montfort obliged Edward to yield him the principality of 
 Chester and the Castle and Honoxir of Peak under colour of an exchange.' 
 By the King's order apartments were constructed in Guildford Castle, for 
 Eleanor's accommodation, in 1268 ;'' and in 1271 she sailed with her husband 
 for Syria.^

 related with the addition of his cure having been eflFected by the heroism of 
 Eleanor, who sucked the venom from his wound. This story is not found 
 in any of our historians before the time of Camden, who first published it in 
 his " Britannia," upon the authority of an author whom he cites under the 
 name of Rodericus Toletanus.' The Chronicle of Roderic, Archbishop of 
 Toledo, a work by no means difiicult of access, was terminated by its author, 
 as he himself states, in 1243, twenty-eight years before the occurrence he is 
 supposed to have recorded. As it is impossible that a writer of Camden's 
 respectability should have invented the fiction, we can only account for its 
 appearance in his work by supposing he might have seen it in some other 
 Spanish chronicle, or in a continuation of Roderic's annals which has, 
 hitherto, escaped notice. But although the venerable author of the " Bri- 
 tannia" may be readily acquitted of any disposition to impose upon the 
 world, it is not the less certain there are no sufficient reasons for crediting 
 the tale. The silence of every contemporary writer respecting an event 
 which, had it really taken place, could not have failed to reach the ears and 
 excite the admiration of aU, is fatal to its credibility, while the particulars 
 furnished by Hemingford and Wikes^ respecting the method of Edward's 
 
 ' Gough's Camden, vol. ii. pp. 8-26. 
 ^ Hemingford, after narrating the attempt of the murderer, proceeds thus ; " Accurrensque statim 
 magister militise Templi, dedit ei pretiosa quaeque libere, ne infusum venenum noceret, et ne in 
 interiora ascenderet. Et increpando dixit, nonne praedixi tibi seditionem populi hujus ? Adjecitque

 cure, are too minute, and possess a character of authenticity too peculiar, to 
 excite the slightest doubt of their correctness. 
 
 The death of Henry the Third in 1272, while Edward was yet in the 
 Holy Land, raised Eleanor to the dignity of Queen Consort of England. 
 On her return from the East in 1273 she visited her brother Alphonso,' and 
 in the following year was crowned with her husband at Westminster with a 
 degree of splendour unexampled in the annals of England. 
 
 In 1279, Eleanor inherited the county of Ponthieu in right of her mother, 
 Joan, widow of Ferdinand the Third, King of Castile and Leon, who died 
 at Abbeville in that year. On this occasion the King and Queen repaired 
 to France, and at an interview with Philip Le Hardi, at Amiens, Edward did 
 homage to him for this new acquisition, as well as for the districts of Le 
 Limousin, Perigord, Saintonge and Agenois, which were ceded to him by 
 treaty. 
 
 From this period we hear nothing of Eleanor, beyond a few unimportant 
 notices of her health, which occur in the letters which passed between 
 Edward and Alphonso and are printed in the Fcedera, until 1286 when she 
 accompanied her husband to Guienne. During their residence in that pro- 
 vince the King and Queen narrowly escaped death by lightening. They 
 were sitting conversing, on the bedside, when the electric fluid, entering a 
 window in their rear, passed between them and killed two damsels standing 
 in the presence.^ From a roll preserved in the Exchequer we glean a few 
 curious particulars of her during the same year. Edward's New Year's gift 
 to Eleanor in 1286 was a cup of gold, weighing three marks and a half, and 
 worth twenty-three pounds, six shillings and eightpence. On the feast of the

 Propheta vere languores nostras tulit, et dolores nostras portavit in corpore sue super lignum, tarn

 incurabilia, modico tempore curarentur." lb. p. 97.

 Circumcision (1st. Jan.) he presented her a pitcher of gold, enamelled and set 
 with precious stones, which was purchased of WiUiam Farringdon, goldsmith 
 of London. During the same year Eleanor offered fermails or brooches of 
 considerable value at the shrine of St. Ethelwold at Ceme, 6th of December ; 
 St. Richard at Chichester, 31st of March; St. Denis, 29th of May; St. 
 Edmund at Pontigny, 14th of August; and St. Martin of Tours, 27th of 
 August; she visited also the shrines of St. Wuliran at Abbeville, the chief 
 city of her county of Ponthieu, and of St. Eutrope at Xaintes.' 
 
 Among the presents given to Edward by the King of France, in the same 
 year, were a coronet of gold set with sapphires, emeralds, rubies and pearls, 
 which he sent into England for his daughter Eleanor; and two cloths of 
 gold which he gave, immediately, to the Queen. The Bishop of Exeter 
 presented a silver gilt cup with a foot and cover, which became the property 
 of the Lady de la Plaunche, Eleanor's cousin, and the Visitor of the Temple 
 in France gave a chess-board^ and men of jasper and crystal, probably of 
 eastern workmanship ; this Edward rehnquished to the Queen.' 
 
 In May 1290 was celebrated the marriage of Eleanor's daughter Joan, 
 surnamed of Acre, to the Earl of Gloucester, and in the following July that 
 of Margaret, her fifth daughter, to John, son of the Duke of Brabant. Both 
 ceremonies were conducted with much splendour, and a multitude of min- 
 strels flocked from all parts to Westminster : to the first came King Grey 
 of England, King Caupenny* from Scotland, and Poveret, the minstrel 
 of the Mareschal of Champagne. The nuptials of Margaret, however, seem

 was £135. 5s. id. They were all purchased of William Farringdon, goldsmith of London : besides 
 this they spent £631. 2s. id\. for other jewelry.

 to have eclipsed those of her sister. Walter de Storton, the King's harper 
 distributed a hundred pounds, the gift of the bridegroom, among four hun- 
 dred and twenty-six minstrels, " as weU English as others;" and this nu- 
 merous band of itinerant professors of mirth and song were aided, in their 
 endeavours to amuse, by the Fool of the Comte of Artois andBastin Noblet, 
 the dancer of Liege.' 
 
 The same accounts which supply these curious facts, present us also with 
 some valuable illustrations of the simple manners of the court and of the 
 personal character of Edward. We find that seven of Eleanor's ladies in 
 waiting and maids of honour, setting at nought the Kingly majesty, proceeded 
 to his chamber on Easter Monday, 1290, laid violent hands on him, and 
 carried into effect the popular and practical joke of " hfting" or "heaving" 
 the monarch until he consented to pay them a fine of fourteen pounds to 
 to enjoy " the King's peace;" and be set at liberty .^ On the marriage day 
 of his daughter Margaret the King lost his temper and struck an esquire 
 on the head with a rod, but without just cause. He afterwards gave him 
 thirteen pounds six shillings and eight pence as some reparation for the 
 injury he had done him. We may reasonably infer it could have been no 
 shght knock that needed so costly a plaster.' Edward, unlike his father, 
 was passionately addicted to the chace. Tradition long preserved the me- 
 mory of his great hunt in Inglewood forest, when he is said to have slain 
 two hundred deer.* We find him chasing the stag in his mother's park at 
 Bridgestock and killing her forester's horse with hard riding.^ On another 
 occasion when starting for the hunt at Fingringhoe in Essex, his washerwoman, 
 Matilda of Waltham, chanced to be present. The scene is readily imagined ; 
 the dogs are being coupled ; horses are saddUng, courtiers mounting ; and 
 the King in a happy mood, with pleasant anticipation of the sport to come, 
 is impatient to be oiF; while the females of the manor are assembled around 
 to see the royal train depart. Among them the merry monarch espies the

 laundress Matilda, and straitway wagers a fleet hunter that she will not ride it 
 to the chase and be in at the death. " Done," cries the bold Matilda and off 
 they start ; she rides like a feariess forester, wins the bet and Edward ransoms 
 his steed for forty shillings.' 
 
 Queen Eleanor died in the house of Richard de Weston, at Harby or 
 Hardby in Nottinghamshire,* on the 28th of November, 1290.' She was 
 accompanying her husband in his journey to Scotland, whither he was pro- 
 ceeding to settle the dispute respecting the succession to the Scottish throne, 
 which the rival candidates, imfortunately for themselves, had referred to his 
 arbitration. On the 28th of October, we find a payment of one mark to 
 Henry of Montpellier " for syrup and other medicines" purchased at Lin- 
 coln for the Queen's use.'' During her illness she was attended by her 
 household physician, master Leopard, or Leopardi, probably an Italian, 
 to whom she bequeathed the sum of twenty marks, and also by a leech in 
 the service of the King of Arragon to whom she gave a cup worth twelve 
 marks and a half.* Her bowels were interred in Lincoln Cathedral on the 
 2nd of December,^ and Edward postponing his intended journey returned 
 with her remains, by slow stages, to London. The account left us by the 
 annaUst of Dunstable of the circumstances attending the arrival of the 
 fimeral train at his monastery represents, generally, what occurred at every 
 place where the procession halted. After noticing the death of the Queen, 
 he says " her body passed through our town, and rested one night. And 
 two precious cloths, to wit, baudekyns, were given unto us. Of wax we had 
 eighty pounds and more.^ * * * And when the body of the said Queen was 
 departing from Dunstable, the bier rested in the centre of the market place 
 until the King's chancellor and the great men then and there present had 
 marked a fitting place where they might afterwards erect, at the royal ex- 
 pense, a cross of wonderful size. Our prior being then present and sprinkling

 holy water."' Eleanor was buried at the feet of Henry the Third in West- 
 minster Abbey on the 10th of December, and on the 12th of the same month 
 her heart was deposited in the church of the Black Friars of London/ where 
 a chapel seems to have been afterwards constructed for its reception.' 
 
 There is every reason to believe that Edward was sincerely attached to his 
 deceased consort. During an union of thirty-six years they had never been 
 separated, excepting for" a few months while the Prince was a prisoner in the 
 hands of the Earl of Leicester. The King's letter to the Abbot of Clugny 
 desiring prayers for the soul of her " whom living he loved dearly, and whom 
 dead he shall never cease to love,"* has been often cited, as a proof of his 
 tenderness and sorrow, by writers who were probably not aware that it 
 is little more than one of those formal circulars, couched in phraseology 
 appropriated to such documents, which it was customary to issue upon the 
 decease of a royal personage. We have far better evidence of Edward's 
 affection for Eleanor than the verbiage and common places of a record. 
 
 If we look to the writers contemporary with Eleanor for any particulars 
 of her character we shall be disappointed. They afford the brief, and, as far 
 as it goes, satisfactory information that she was chaste and pious ; but the 
 annalist of Dunstable, who is equally worthy of credit with the rest, alluding 
 neither to her devotion nor her virtue, notes that she was by birth a Spaniard 
 and that she acquired many rich manors ; ' an equivocal observation, which 
 speaks as much for Edward's generosity as for her own deserts. From 
 the pen of Walsingham, who wrote at the distance of a century and a 
 half from the period of her death, we have a panegyric of Eleanor, suspicious 
 from its rhetorical flourish, and still more suspicious if we consider the age 
 of its author.^

 six only survived their mother, viz., Edward, who succeeded to her county

 The documents to which this notice is introductory are three rolls con- 
 taining the accounts of the executors of Eleanor's will, from which we may 
 collect the general character of that instrument, -w^hich has not yet been 
 discovered. It is important to observe, however, that all their expenditure 
 was not made in pursuance of the Queen's testamentary directions. The 
 payments may be divided into three classes, viz., 1. bequests ; 2. donations 
 by her executors, in the exercise of a discretionary power to carry into effect 
 all the Queen's presumed intentions, and to provide for the repose of her 
 soul ; and 3. payments directed by the King, generally in relation to his deceased 
 consort, but occasionally for other objects. The funds available for these 
 purposes were the debts due to the Queen at her death,' the revenues of 
 her manors, and occasional grants in aid from the exchequer.^ The items 
 contained in the first and second divisions are not without interest, and shew 
 in particular the munificent eleemosynary provision for the establishment of 
 a perpetual church service for the deceased Queen. As the accounts can be 
 readily perused we shall entirely pass over these and other less important 
 details,' and confine our remaining observations to the entries which con- 
 stitute the chief value of the rolls, viz., those which relate to the building of 
 the crosses erected in memory of Eleanor, and the casting of the effigies on 
 her tombs at Westminster, the Black Friars and Lincoln. From them we 
 now first learn the names of the architects of the crosses and the designer

 of Aberconway for making a chamber in the Abbey there, according to directions given by Eleanor 
 herself (p. 107) : and another of 40s. for writing two schedules containing certain indulgences,

 of the eflSgies : they shew that much if not all the merit of the former is 
 due to Englishmen, and that the latter were, probably, the production of an 
 Italian. As most writers, however, who have touched upon the subject, 
 attribute all these works to foreigners, it may not be altogether out of place 
 to offer a few remarks upon the state of art in England during the thirteenth 
 century, with the view of placing our ancient professors of the pencil and 
 chisel on higher ground than they have hitherto occupied. It is a rea- 
 sonable cause of surprise that, with the ample materials extant, we have not 
 yet , had a comprehensive treatise on a subject which richly deserves more 
 extended illustration than we can pretend to give it. 
 
 Henry the Third may be truly said to have been the first Engjish monarch 
 who paid any great attention to architecture, sculpture and painting. It is 
 probable that at his accession to the throne all the royal residences were in 
 a dilapidated condition; it is certain that during a long reign he devoted 
 much care and large sums to rebuilding, enlarging and decorating them. 
 There is positive evidence that the works carried on at the regal castles and 
 houses of Clarendon, Guildford, Havering, Kennington, Marlborough, West- 
 minster, Windsor and Woodstock were chiefly the result of his individual 
 taste. All matters, from the size and style of a window to the dimensions 
 of a room, and the paintings on its walls, were executed according to his own 
 directions, often given orally to his officers, and, fortunately for posterity, 
 almost always reduced into writing, a circumstance consequent upon the 
 fiscal arrangements of the times, which may be briefly explained. 
 
 The only certain revenue enjoyed by our ancient sovereigns arose from 
 three sources ; the demesne lands of the crown — the profits accruing firom 
 the administration of justice — and the operation of the feudal system of 
 tenures, which has been often explained,' The collectors of the monies 
 arising from these various quarters, were the sheriffs of towns and counties, 
 and the farmers of the. King's lands. These persons accounted at the Ex- 
 chequer once in the year, at the feast of St. Michael. In consequence of 
 this arrangement the greater part of the royal expenditure was made 
 through them: to use a familiar comparison they acted as bankers and 
 
bcxv 
 
 agents to the sovereign, whose necessities compelled him to anticipate the 
 revenues they had in charge. Thus did the King require provisions for the 
 celebration of those solemn festivals, when he held his cows plenieres, he 
 dispatched writs to the bailiffs of such towns as Kingston, St. Albans, 
 Wycombe or Hertford, commanding them to make him so much household 
 bread ; to the sheriffs of counties to send him supplies of the meat, poultry, 
 game or fish for which their respective districts were famous ; did he require 
 wearing apparel, his sheriffs and bailiffs bought him broad cloths and silks at 
 the great fairs of Boston, Winchester or St. Ives j and was a new oriel to be 
 made in the hall at Woodstock, a chimney or a chapel to be built at Claren- 
 don, or the parable of Dives and Lazarus to be painted on the wainscoting 
 of the privy chamber at Guildford,' it was the sheriff or bailiff who had to 
 see it executed, and to hire and pay the artists and workmen. At the ap- 
 pointed time these officers presented themselves at the Exchequer : the 
 Treasurer demanded an account of their receipts during the year, and they 
 claimed to be allowed what they had expended, producing for every payment 
 the royal precept by virtue of which it had been made. If they could shew 
 no authority for a disbursement, or if they had exceeded the directions it 
 gave, in the one case their claim was refused, in the other disallowed as 
 respected any excess : thus when the sheriffs of London having. received the 
 King's writ for the execution of a traitor, caused him to be drawn on a sledge 
 to Tyburn, and asked allowance for the hire of a horse and manufacture of 
 the sledge, their petition was refused, because Tyburn was not mentioned in 
 the writ. In this simple manner the accounts were adjusted. In general 
 the sheriffs or bailiffs had a balance to pay in ; sometimes they had expended 
 aU they received. The writs or precepts to the sheriffs and bailiffs were 
 enrolled by the clerks of the Chancellor, and from the series of such enrol- 
 ments,^ for the reign of Henry the Third, Vertue made the scattered extracts 
 relative to the state of art during that period upon which Walpole has

 commented in the Anecdotes of Painting in England. Our subsequent ob- 
 servations are founded upon the same documents. 
 
 Before we proceed to enquire whether the architects and painters, who it 
 seems could be so readily found by sheriffs and bailiffs in all parts of the 
 country, were foreigners or natives, we may advert to the general fallacy that 
 the great architects dviring the times in question were ecclesiastics. There 
 can be no doubt but that the cathedrals and monasteries, erected firom the 
 time of the conquest to the close of the twelfth century, were for the most 
 part designed by churchmen, but the erection of these buildings, the slow 
 work of years, had by the time of their completion called into being another 
 and very dififerent class of artists : it was a great school in which the mere 
 workmen or masons {cementarii) became practically acquainted with those 
 theoretical principles, which had been scientifically elaborated by the church- 
 man in the sohtude of his cloister. The knowledge thus acquired they were 
 not long in applying on their own account, and it was extended and per- 
 petuated by their apprentices. Most of the cementarii whom we find 
 employed as architects during the thirteenth century came from cathedral 
 cities, and the neighbourhood of great monasteries ; from places distinguished 
 by magnificent monuments of architectural skill and splendour, in the works 
 of which they had been employed, as their masters or fathers were before 
 them, and in the general features and details of which they had studied as 
 in a great chart the sum of all the building craft of their time. To this class 
 of architects are to be added the goldsmiths, who, like their Italian brethren 
 of the same, or a somewhat later period, generally practised as architects, 
 sculptors, or rather modellers,' and painters. 
 
 ' One of the bills of Adam of Shoreditch, the goldsmith of Edward I., is yet preserved in the Tower 
 (Rot. Miscell., No. 71) ; among the items of it we find " for the making of a child of silver riding upon 
 a horse of silver, made in the likeness of the lord Edward the King's son, and offered by the King's 
 order at the shrine of St. Alban, in the present year, and for the silver applied thereto, together 
 with the gilding of the same boy and horse, and weighing in all, xxvij.s. — ^Ixxij.s." This account is 
 of the 24th and 25th years of Edward's reign. The same Adam charges also for making a small cross 
 of gold fixed on the sceptre " of John de Balliol late King of Scotland ;" and for a great ruby and a 
 great emerald bought for the coronet of the King's daughter, the Countess of Holland, in the place

 ITie number of native artists, of every description, during the time of 
 Henry the Third could not have been inconsiderable. Architects, painters 
 and carvers in wood and stone must have been easily met with by the King's 
 sheriffs and officers, when we find works going on, simultaneously, in Berk- 
 shire, Middlesex, Surrey, Essex and Oxfordshire. Besides the royal resi- 
 dences other buildings of some pretension, castles, manor houses, monasteries 
 and parish churches were in progress about the same period; who were 
 concerned in their erection ? The sheriffs we may be sure did not import 
 architects and painters from France or Italy, nor is it reasonable to suppose 
 they were brought, at a great expense, to aid in the decoration of churches 
 and other edifices in remote parts of the country. 
 
 The most effectual method of testing the value of these inferences is to look 
 into the documentary evidence on which they are founded, and to note the 
 relative proportion of English and foreign artists therein mentioned. It 
 must be borne in mind, however, that the persons to be employed are rarely 
 designated in the royal precepts ; those, therefore, who are named were pro- 
 bably the most eminent men of the time in their respective professions ; 
 mediocrity is seldom in request and never immortalised but by accident. 
 
 We find but two names which are certainly foreign ; John of St. Omer 
 and Master Wilham, the Florentine, two painters ; the latter was also an 
 architect as we find him filling the post of master of the works at Guildford. 
 To these instances may be opposed a number of names undoubtedly Enghsh. 
 The architects of Westminster Abbey were Otho the goldsmith and Edward 
 his son, who went by the names of Fitz Otho, and Edward of Westminster. 
 Walpole supposed, from his name, that Otho was an ItaUan : if the name be 
 any certain index of his country, he was, more probably, a German. We, 
 however, believe that Otho was an EngUshman by birth, if not by descent. 
 We see that he was a goldsmith, and in those times, and in that particular 
 craft, the son generally succeeded to the father. Henry the Second appointed 
 
 of two stones which were lost when " the King cast the same coronet into the fire, at Ipswich, in 
 the beginning of the month of January." Another illustration of Edward's temper : see p. Ux. ante. 
 
Ixxviii 
 
 Otho Young, or Le Jeune, to make the dies for the royal mint,' and it is no 
 great stretch of probability to suppose that Otho, the goldsmith of Henry the 
 Third, who had a son old enough to assist him in building the Abbey, 
 might have been himself the son of Otho le Jeune, the moneyer of Henry 
 the Second. To proceed with our hst : John of Gloucester, a mason and 
 statuary ; William, the monk of Westminster, who painted the " gestes" of 
 Antioch for Henry, and whom Walpole conjectured, without any reason, to 
 have been the person elsewhere called William the Florentine; master 
 Walter the king's painter; William of Gloucester, the goldsmith who cast 
 the brass figure for the tomb of Catharine, the infant daughter of Henry the 
 Third, believed to have been the first of the kind done in England f and 
 Walter of Colchester, sacristan of St. Albans, whom Matthew Paris, him- 
 self a tolerable draftsman, terms " pictor et sculptor incomparabilis"^ were 
 all Englishmen and generally employed by Henry ; doubtless many more 
 names might be found upon a minuter search than we have been able to in- 
 stitute : the rolls now published mention several individuals concerned, as 
 architects and statuaries, in the erection of Eleanor's crosses, who must have 
 been contemporaries of the persons enumerated above. 
 
 Having shewn that England was not entirely destitute of artists in the 
 thirteenth century, we may now consider the value of the conjectures which 
 have been advanced respecting the designer of Eleanor's crosses and eifigies. 
 All writers on the subject concur in attributing them to an Itahan, although, 
 so far as the crosses are concerned, we believe it would be impossible to 
 point out any one contemporary architectural erection in Italy, bearing the 
 slightest resemblance to their style. Walpole, whose utter darkness on the 
 subject of English mediaeval art was relieved only by the ghmmerino- light of 
 Vertue's collections, supposed the crosses to have been built after the designs 
 of Pietro Cavallini " whom, from various circumstances, he (Vertue) 
 discovered to be the architect of the shrine of Edward the Confessor."* 
 This remarkable discovery is soon disposed of. According to the best

Ixxix 
 
 authorities Cavallini was not born until 1279, nine years after the completion 
 of the shrine, and was, therefore, about eleven years old when Eleanor died. 
 Mr. Gough thought it possible the same artist might have executed the 
 Confessor's shrine, the tomb of Henry the Third and the crosses and monu- 
 ments of Eleanor ; but he rejected their attribution to Cavallini.' 
 
 One point in these theories is remarkable, an anxiety to identify the de- 
 signer of the shrine with the author of the later works ; and nothing shews 
 more clearly the hap-hazard manner in which their opinions were written, 
 than the ignorance of Walpole and his more learned successor Gough as to 
 whether the shrine of St. Edward was constructed by Henry the Third or by 
 Abbot Ware. A reference to contemporary chronicles, the most cursory 
 examination of the same authorities from which Vertue gleaned his notices of 
 painting during the thirteenth century, would have satisfactorily decided the 
 doubt. The shrine of the Confessor was erected at the expense of Henry ; 
 it was begun early in his reign and not completed until just before his death ; 
 in 1269 he solemnly translated the body of the royal saint from its old 
 resting place into the golden shrine " quod ei paraverat."^ This statement of 
 the continuator of Matthew Paris is susceptible of the most absolute proof. 
 In 1236, the twentieth year of his reign, we find Henry ordering his Trea- 
 surer to see that an image " ad similitudinem cujusdam regiruB" was made 
 after the fashion of one previously manufactured, to be put in the shrine.' 
 The superintendants of this work were the goldsmith Otho and his son 
 Edward, to whom we have before alluded as the architects of the Abbey : 
 Otho seems to have died during the progress of the shrine. In 1241 the 
 King directs the payment to " his beloved clerk " Edward Fitz-Otho of a 
 sufficient sum of money for the support of the goldsmiths, whom he had in 
 his employ at Westminster.* We find a notice, probably of nearly the same 
 date, that sixty marks were delivered to him " ad operationes pheretri Beati 
 Edwardi."^ This work proceeded slowly towards completion until the year

 1267, when Henry's poverty compelled him to sell and pawn many of this 
 jewels with which he had enriched it. An inventory of the valuables thus 
 abstracted from the shrine is yet preserved, and enables us to form, in con- 
 junction with the present remains, a very clear idea of its elaborate magnifi- 
 cence.' If the inscription long since obHterated but preserved by Dart* and 
 copied in the Anecdotes of Painting,' be authentic, and according to which, 
 as it has been hitherto read, a certain " Petrus civis Romanm" executed the 
 shrine, we may observe that the expression " duxit in actum" cannot be 
 strained to mean more than that a Roman, named Peter, finished a work, 
 which we know to have been commenced and for some time continued by 
 others. The appropriation of the ornaments of the shrine to the relief of 
 Henry's necessities was made through the instrumentality of the Papal 
 Legate, who seems to have managed the whole affair. When those orna- 
 ments were restored, he may have recommended the employment of an 
 Italian, who could have done no more than perfect a design ready made to 
 his hand.

 completed twenty, years before Eleanor's decease, we thereby provej that 
 the author of that work could not have been identical with the artist of the 
 tomb of Henry the Third and the crosses and eflBgies of the Queen, and so 
 extinguish an ignis fatuus that has long bewildered our antiquarian critics. 
 
 With respect to the monument of Henry the Third it has also been 
 supposed that when Edward the First returned through Italy from Syria, he 
 there found and brought with him to England some sculptor whom he em- 
 ployed to execute the tomb of his father. We have contemporary testimony 
 that he did purchase abroad a quantity of precious material, which he appUed 
 to the decoration of that work;' but no notice occurs of the importation of a 
 foreign artist ; that has been presumed. Now it must be evident to any one 
 who shall examine the effigies of Henry and Eleanor that they were de- 
 signed by the same person. A similar style of handling and detail pervades 
 both ; both are distinguished, particularly about the head, by a boldness and 
 simplicity of design which is conclusive evidence of their being the produc- 
 tions of one hand. Let us enquire how far this presumption is supported by 
 facts. From the Wardrobe Book of the 18th of Edward, we learn that 
 Henry's monument was not completed at the time of Eleanor's death : there 
 is a payment, in 1290, to Master Henry of Lewes for the iron work of "the 
 tomb of King Henry ;"* thus supposing the work to have been commenced 
 after Edward's return to England, in 1274, it had been in progress about 
 sixteen 3rears ; the probability, however, is that it was not begun so early : 
 but it is sufficient for the support of our opinion that the operations at 
 Henry^s tomb were incomplete in 1290, and that the effigies of Eleanor were 
 in hand in the following year : dates, facts and the resemblance of the style 
 of the two figures, aU strengthen the conclusion that they were designed by 
 the same individual. After stating who that individual was, we shall be able 
 to shew that the documents before us contain passages which refer apparently 
 to the effigy of Henry the Third as proceeding conjointly with the figures of 
 Eleanor. In the first place, however, let us hear Flaxman's opinion of the 
 statues and their artist.

 " The statues have considerable simphcity and delicacy : they partake of 
 the character and grace particularly cultivated in the school of Pisano, and 
 it is not unUkely, as the septdchral statue and tomb of "Henry III. were exe- 
 cuted by Italians, that these statues' of Queen Eleanor might have been 
 done by some of the numerous travelling scholars of Pisano's school."* 
 
 This appears to us the most probable of the mere conjectures hitherto 
 advanced upon the subject in question. The roUs now printed inform us 
 that the designer of the effigies of .Eleanor for Westminster and Lincoln was 
 one Master " William Torel," a goldsmith ; the loose manner in which we 
 find all Italian and Spanish names written in early records, justifies the pre- 
 sumption that his real name was Torrelli, and that he was an Italian : it is 
 not impossible that he may have been identical with master William the 
 Florentine painter, who, as we have already seen, was employed by Henry 
 the Third, towards the latter end of his reign ; this would not interfere with 
 the supposition that he was a pupil of Nicolo Pisanoj who died in 1264. 
 
 In some of the entries respecting the effigies of Eleanor we find that To- 
 rel was engaged also upon the image of a king :' who was that King ? the 
 statue of Edward was not placed beside that of his consort on her tomb : it 
 does not seem probable that he ordered the preparation of his own monu- 
 ment seventeen years before his death, and there is every reason to believe 
 that no monumental figure of him was ever executed ; it is supposed that 
 his tomb was never completed owing to the troubles during the reign of his 
 unfortunate son. We beheve these items refer to the figure of Henry the 
 Third. 
 
 The statues of Eleanor were modelled in wax : there is an item for

 Tore! :' four hundred weight, three quarters and three pounds of the same 
 material were purchased for the modelling of the images over the Queen's 
 bowels at Lincoln, and her heart at the Black Friars, London,* three of these 
 which were of small size were "made and cast" by an Englishman, Wilham 
 of Suffolk ;' others were the work of a sculptor named Master Alexander of 
 Abingdon,* and another called " Dymenge de Legery" or "de Reyns;" they 
 also made the marble tomb at Lincoln on which was placed one of the large 
 effigies designed and cast by Torel.* 
 
 One thousand seven hundred pounds of metal were bought to make three 
 statues,^ and besides this there is a payment of fifty pounds, for the same 
 material,' which must have procured double the first named quantity, which 
 cost only 21Z. 135. 8d. Three hundred and fifty gold florins, which seem to 
 have been worth two and sixpence each,* were applied to the gilding of the 
 metal figures. In addition to images there were paintings on and around 
 Eleanor's tombs at Westminster and the Black Friars, which were executed 
 by Master Walter of Durham.' He was also employed at Westminster."* 
 
 The sum total of the money paid to Torel for the effigies of Eleanor 
 and of the King, (whoever he may have been) was 1 13^. G*. 8d. of the money 
 of that time, equal in value to about 1700/. of our present currency. 
 
 According to the theories of Walpole and Gough, Torel must have the 
 credit of designing the Crosses; but as his name is not mentioned in 
 connection with any one of them, we shall take the liberty to deny his 
 pretensions untU some better evidence in their favour shall be produced. 
 We find that only one foreigner is mentioned among the builders or carvers 
 of these monuments.

 The crosses were nine in number, viz. at Lincoln, Northampton, Stony- 
 Stratford, Woburn, Dunstable, St. Albans, Waltham, Cheap and Charing : 
 that at Geddington, which is attributed to Edward, is not mentioned in the 
 rolls. Lincoln Cross was the work of Richard of Stowe, mason, fcemm- 
 tarim) ; those of Northampton, Stony Stratford, Wobum, Dunstaple and 
 St. Albans, were all built by John of Battle : Waltham by Roger de Crun- 
 dale in conjunction with Dymenge de Legeri or de Reyns; Cheap by 
 Michael of Canterbury; and Charing by Richard de Crundale, who died 
 before it was finished, when the works were carried on by Roger de Crundale 
 the joint builder of Waltham Cross. It appears that the decorated parts of 
 some of these monuments were worked in London, and sent to their several 
 sites. The figures of Eleanor with which they were adorned, bearing a 
 general resemblance to the efiigies of Torel from which they were probably 
 copied, were carved by Alexander of Abingdon and William of Ireland, the 
 latter of whom did some portions of the crosses at Lincoln and Northamp- 
 ton; the statues on Waltham Cross may have been the productions of 
 Dymenge de Legeri. The materials of the crosses were Caen stone, Sussex, 
 and Purbeck marbles. The figures were made of the former; those at 
 Charing expressly stated to have been the work of Alexander of Abingdon

 documents, will observe some minuter information respecting the construc- 
 tion of the crosses, the importance of which wiH be more obvious to him 
 than to the general reader, and the exact value of which it is his peculiar 
 province to explain. 
 
 The original rolls call for no particular remark. They are preserved 
 among the records in the custody of the Queen's Remembrancer.

III. Accounts and Memoranda of Sir John Howard, 
 Knt., first Duke of Norfolk. 
 
 Sir John Howard, knight, of Stoke by Neyland, in the county of SufiFolk, 
 was the eldest son of Sir Robert Howard, knt., by Margaret, daughter of 
 Thomas, and cousin and, eventually,- co-heir to John Mowbray, Dukes of 
 Norfolk. The exact date of his birth is unknown, but it is believed to 
 have occurred about the year 1430, as we find him knighted and serving in 
 France in 1452,' He was elected knight of the shire for Norfolk, through 
 the Mowbray interest, in the 32nd or 33rd of Henry the Sixth, 1454-5.' 
 
 He is supposed to have been a partisan of the Earl of Warwick against 
 Henry, and is said to have been marked for punishment about the time 
 of the deposition of that unfortunate sovereign.' Upon the assumption of 
 the crown by Edward the Fourth, Sir John Howard was made sheriff of 
 Norfolk and Suffolk, and rewarded for his serviced to the house of York by a 
 grant of certain manors forfeited by the attainders of the Earl of Wiltshire, 
 Sir Nicholas Latymer and Sir Thomas Daniell; of some of the property 
 thus acquired, viz. the manors of Dontish and Dewhsh, Co. Dorset, and of 
 Meyton Hall, Co. Norfolk, we find frequent mention in the following ac- 
 counts. 
 
 On the 6th of July 1461 he was made keeper of Colchester Castle,'' and 
 on the 28th of the same month received the appointment of one of the 
 King's carvers with an annual fee of forty pounds.* The post of Constable

 of Norwich Castle was granted him on the 3rd of February, 1462,' and we 
 have his own authority, that this " konstabelshepe" was worth twenty 
 pounds per annum.'' These offices were secured to him by the acts of 
 resumption passed in the 1st and 4th of Edward.' In 1462, being associated 
 with the Lords of Fauconberg and CUnton in a commission to keep the seas, 
 he made a descent in Britanny and captured the town of Croquet and the 
 Isle of Rhee." About this time he began to build " the newe kervelle at 
 Donwiche" which was not finished till 1466 ; the cost of it is minutely re- 
 corded in the present accounts.' He undertook another voyage in the 
 autumn of 1463, as his steward notes " what stofFe for vytayles my mayster 
 hathe bowt at hys goying to the see.'" 
 
 Sir John served with the army of the north at the siege of Alnwick in the 
 months of December and January, 1462-3, and his accounts contain the 
 names of the men of Suffolk who probably fought under his banner.' 
 
 From October, 1463, to February, 1463-4,- he was in the retinue of the 
 Duke of Norfolk on the Welsh Marches :« we have the particulars of his ride 
 into the " northe kontery," and of his expenditure while resident at Holt 
 Castle in Denbighshire.^ In 1464 he bought the reversion of " the konstabels 
 chepe of Bramborow"orBamborough Castle, in Northumberland, of Robert 
 Bernard, for a bay courser and twenty pounds;'" it was worth "be3ere" 
 ten marks." At the latter end of the same year he was "certayn weke}'^ 
 with the King at Reading, to whom he there presented, as a New Year's 
 gift a courser called « Lyard Duras," worth forty pounds ; and gave another 
 to the Queen, which was named " Lyard Lewe}" and cost him eight 
 pounds. 
 
 His first wife Catherine died about the 13th of November, 1465, probably

 at Colchester. There are payments to her physicians, and items for various 
 medicines, among which we may note " water of honysoclys." 
 
 In 1466 Sir John was still busy in building the " new kervelle," 
 which he seems to h^ve christened the " Mary Grase;"' he bought " an 
 ashe of ij. yerdes longe, for to make a lanteme and a stok for an ymage of 
 our lady/' In the same year he commanded the vessel which conveyed to 
 Calais the English Commissioners accredited to the Courts of Burgundy and 
 France." His steward notes that he was at Calais from the 1 5th of May to 
 the 17th of September. 
 
 In January 1467, we find Sir John Howard meeting the Ambassadors of 
 the Duke of Burgundy at Gravesend, whence he escorted them, in the 
 King's barge, to London.^ On the l7th or 18th of the same month he 
 married his second lady, Margaret, daughter of Sir John Chedworth, knt. ; 
 Lord Bergavenny sent him a doe, and Ordynge the cook of Eastcheap sup- 
 plied four pikes for his wedding feast.* In June of that year he accom- 
 panied the King's sister, Margaret, to Flanders, on her marriage with Charles, 
 Comte de Charolois, afterwards Duke of Burgundy. Shortly after this he 
 acted as Deputy Marshal for the Duke of Norfolk at the great jousting in 
 Smithfield, between Anthony, Lord Scales and the Bastard of Burgundy, 
 on which occasion he expended, on his lord's account, either two or three 
 hundred marks.'' It is probable that he brought over " the Bastard of Bur- 
 goyne'^ when he returned from Flanders; when that personage quitted 
 England Sir John seems to have escorted him to Calais.'' 
 
 In November 1467, he was nominated a commissioner to arrange a peace 
 with France. It is worthy of remark that in the commission he is styled 
 " John Howard, knight, lord Howard ;" although he and Master Thomas 
 Brewse were elected knights of the shire for Suffolk in the preceding month 
 of April ; Sir John's election bill is a curious monument of the antiquity of 
 " treating:" the votes of the men of Suffolk were propitiated by plenty of

 good eating. They consumed 8 oxen, 24 calves, the same number of sheep, 
 20 lambs, 30 pigs, 12 pheasants, 108 capons, 240 chickens, 120 rab- 
 bits, 800 eggs, 140 pair of pigeons, 32 gallons of milk, and besides hogsheads 
 of wine, drank 20 barrels of" dobelle here" and 16 of " syngelle here."' 
 His election cost him £40. l7s. 8d. 
 
 Soon after this. Sir John Howard was appointed Treasurer of the House- 
 hold, and received a grant of the profits of the coinage of the realm from 
 the 1st of October, 1468.^ He was summoned to Parliament as a Baron 
 by Henry the Sixth during his short return to power ; the writ being dated 
 on the 15th of October, 49 Henry VI. (10 Edw. IV.) 1470. This dignity 
 seems to have been given as a lure to attract him to the Lancasterian party j 
 it was not the reward of a desertion from his own faction ; for in the same 
 year Edward appointed him captain of his fleet;' and when he landed at 
 Ravenspur, in March 1471, Howard is said to have proclaimed him in 
 Suffolk.* Sir John was, in all probability, present at the battles of Barnet 
 and Tewkesbury in the same year; a list of his retainers in 1471, written 
 by himself occurs among the accounts.* His name appears among those 
 who on the 3rd of July, recognised Edward Prince of Wales as " undoubted 
 heyre" to the crown, and swore to take and accept him, if he survived his 
 father, for " true, veray and rightwis Kyng of England."^ At the close 
 of the year he was sent Deputy Governor to Calais. 
 
 On St. George's day, 1472, Lord Howard was elected a Knight of the 
 Garter;? as this is the latest date mentioned in his accounts our subsequent 
 notices of him become very scanty. In the month of June in that year, he 
 was sent with WiUiam Lord Hastings and other commissioners to treat with 
 the envoys of the Duke of Burgundy, relative to the pale of Picardy, and in 
 May, 1473, was again employed in a mission to Flanders. 
 
 He accompanied Edward on his invasion of France in 1475 ; concluded

 the treaty which was the consequence of that expedition, and remained a 
 hostage for the due execution of it until the EngUsh army withdrew from 
 France, In the same year he obtained a grant of lands forfeited by the Earl 
 of Oxford,' 
 
 In 1476, Lord Howard and the Earl of Arundel were sent to France to 
 prolong the truce between that country and England, and in the following 
 year the reversion of the office of Constable of the Tower was given him, to 
 which he succeeded five years afterwards. He was appointed Admiral of 
 the Fleet against Scotland in 1479, and from this time we have no account 
 of him until after the death of Edward the Fourth, in 1483, at whose funeral 
 he bore the royal banner, as it would appear, officially.^ 
 
 There is no evidence of the share he had in the elevation of Richard to 
 the throne ; but Sir Harris Nicolas observes, very justly, that " from motives 
 which cannot be misunderstood, even if they were not a reward for services 
 which were incompatible with his honour and with gratitude, no sooner did 
 Richard assume the royal dignity, than he bestowed on Lord Howard the 
 highest rank and most important offices to which a subject can aspire."' 
 On the 28th of June 1483, he was created Duke of Norfolk and Marshal of 
 England, with remainder to his heirs male. At the same time his son. Sir 
 Thomas Howard, was made Earl of Surrey. 
 
 Upon the .landing of the Earl of Richmond the Duke of Norfolk marched 
 to the assistance of Richard, and commanded the archers at Bosworth field, 
 where he fell on the 22nd of August, 1485. He was buried in the Abbey 
 church of Thetford and with his son, the Earl of Surrey was attainted by an 
 act passed in the 1st of Henry the Seventh. 
 
 We have already seen that he was twice married; by his first wife

 Catherine, daughter of Thomas, Lord Molines, he had two sons, Thomas, 
 Earl of Surrey, and Nicholas who died young ; and four daughters, Aime, 
 Isabel, Jane and Margaret; by his second lady, Margaret, daughter of Sir 
 John Chedworth, knt., he had a daughter named Catherine, who became 
 the wife of John Bourchier, Lord Earners, the ever to be remembered 
 translator of Froissart. 
 
 Sir Harris Nicolas observes upon the public career of this distinguished 
 nobleman that " perhaps the only part of his conduct which is open to sus- 
 picion, is his having devoted himself to the Protector, in violation of the oath 
 he had taken to support the claim of the Prince of Wales ; and thus having 
 become the chief partisan of the supposed murderer of his illustrious patron's 
 children, and the usurper of their rights. But he was not a double traitor ; 
 and though gidlty of ingratitude and perjury towards the family of his former 
 master, he was faithful, even unto death, to the sovereign to whom he had 
 transferred his allegiance. That he might have made terms with the Earl 
 of Richmond cannot be doubted; and unless his fidelity to Richard be 
 attributed to a belief in the stability of his power, he must not be denied the 
 virtue of being loyal, at a moment when loyalty was dangerous, if not fatal, 
 and apostacy the path to Ufe and fortune."' 
 
 In illustration of his private character we shall here reprint two of his 
 letters divested of their antique and uncouth orthography. The first is 
 indicative of his temper; the second of his strict management of his 
 property.

 Court to the behoof of John Hobbs and his father-in-law, and now by your 
 sinister labour, against all right and conscience, ye cause daily great trouble

 The following was written, probably, while he was Deputy-Governor of 
 Calais, and is addressed to one of his bailiffs. 
 
 " John Andrews ; both I and my wife pray you to be a good husband 
 for us, as we trust right greatly that ye be : also, seeing that I, nor mine 
 household, have not lain there this many a day, I trust my charges there

 well stored with oxen or bullocks, against my going home, which I trust in 
 God shall be in short space; for though I be well and profitably lodged 
 here, yet I wiU not discontinue that country, but [be] some time there and

 the comfort of my friends and to the discomfort of mine enemies, if I have 
 any. Wherefore I pray you take the measure of the hall there, and of the 
 length, and of the deepness, as much as must be hanged ; and in like wise 
 of the parlour, and the chamber over the parlour, and the chamber where

 these I pray you send me the measure in haste, and I trust before long ye 
 shall see the chambers better hanged than ever ye saw them, and I and my 
 wife in them. Also I pray you see that mine ambling horse be in good

 The accounts of Sir John Howard being in English and presenting no 
 peculiar diflaculties to the general reader, it is not necessary to enter into 
 any lengthened notice of their contents. Upon comparing them with the 
 Household Roll of the Countess of Leicester we naturally perceive a very 
 great difference between the state of domestic affairs and of society in the 
 thirteenth and fifteenth centuries. The increase of population has occa- 
 sioned a greater division of labour, and those arts, which at the former period 
 were generally carried on by the domestics of every family of consequence, 
 now support persons who make them the means of an independent liveli- 
 hood. Brewing and baking have become profitable trades, and the tailor 
 has ceased to be a domestic servant. The Countess of Leicester was 
 accompanied by her tailor Hicqe even when she travelled ; Sir John Howard 
 indeed buys his own cloth, of Porter the draper of Candlewick street, but he 
 employs Leonard the tailor of Southwark to make it up. Notwithstanding 
 the country had long suffered from civil commotions it is obvious that wealth 
 is greatly increased j inns have been established in country towns; a 
 traveller no longer takes with him his wine and provisions as did the Earl 
 of Leicester ; taverns have arisen in London and become places of common 
 resort for people of rank; " Mastres Ysabell" lodges at the Bell in West- 
 minster, and her father Sir John takes his wine and " waffers" at the Sun 
 in Lombard Street, or breakfasts with my Lord Audley at the Greyhound 
 in Eastcheap. The same increase of wealth has brought with it a cor- 
 responding degree of luxury in dress and the general conveniences of life : 
 the Countess wore some garments of sheepskin and was content with 
 wooUen gowns of which the nap was shorn more than once. My Lady 
 Howard has her " plytes of fyne lawne" and Humphrey Gentili the Lom- 
 bard supplies Sir John with costly cloths of damask, satin, and velvet upon 
 velvet " pyrled with goold." In the age of the Countess ladies arranged 
 their dress with skewer-like implements, but fair ''^mastres Anne" Howard 
 used " fine pynnes." It is more than probable that neither the Earl nor 
 his wife could read, much less write ; their daughter Eleanor, indeed, had 
 a breviary written by an Oxford clerk, as much for show perhaps as use ; 
 but Sir John Howard writes an able letter and reads at his leisure a 
 " Yenglyshe boke calyd Dives et Pauper." Of all things the means of com- 
 
xcm 
 
 munication between distant places was, perhaps, the least improved, roads 
 and bridges were still wanting : Dobbe the shepherd guides the Countess 
 of Leicester from Odiham to Porchester, and Sir John on his road to 
 Chester gives a penny " to a mayde that tawte the wey ovyr Tyddysbery 
 (Didsbury) forthe." 
 
 It would be easy to institute a more minute and less desultory comparison 
 between the manners of the two periods, as illustrated by the present work. 
 The Accounts of Sir John Howard shew the state of almost every department 
 of domestic economy in his time : we have payments to bakers and brewers, 
 builders, armourers, and shipwrights ; silversmiths, mercers, drapers, tailors 
 and cordwaners ; to seamen, soldiers and servants ; they contain notices of 
 farming and stocking fishponds ; and taken in conjunction with the Paston 
 Letters they furnish the liveUest picture we possess of any period anterior to 
 the invention of printing. 
 
XCIV 
 
 We have now to give some description of the two manuscripts from which 
 the Howard Accounts have been printed. The first is in the valuable col- 
 lection of Sir Thomas PhilUpps, Bart., at Middle HiU, who purchased it at 
 the sale of the library of the late Mr. Craven Ord : the second is now the 
 property of his Grace the Duke of Norfolk ; it formerly belonged to the 
 well known Peter le Neve, Norroy King at Arms, who has written on a fly- 
 leaf at the beginning of the volume — " brought from Framlingham Castle in 
 Suff., given to me by Mr. Thomas Martin, attorney at law, of Palgrave in 
 SuiF., 1727." Martin, it is beheved, was likewise the owner of the former, 
 as it was seen in a collection in SufibUc by Sir John Fenn, who extracted 
 from it and printed the biU of the " limpnour of Bury,"' as a note in the 
 second volume of the Paston Letters,* the originals of which belonged also 
 to Martin. Both volumes are of the quarto size and written on paper, two or 
 three fohos only in the Middle HUl MS. are of vellum. 
 
 It win be seen that the entries are made very irregularly ; accounts of 
 different years are intermixed and occur sometimes on the same page ; this 
 has led to a supposition that they were originally mere loose papers, which 
 have been at some period bound together without any attempt to reduce 
 them to order. To this opinion we do not subscribe, believing from a care- 
 ful examination, that the volumes were always distinct, and that they are 
 now in nearly the same state as when first written. In the Middle HLU MS. 
 some folios have evidently been transposed during the process of re-binding ; 
 these we have restored to their proper positions. 
 
 Many portions of the accounts are common to both volumes ; and as the 
 Middle Hill MS. is, generally speaking, the best of the two, we have given 
 the variations of identical passages in the Norfolk MS, in the shape of foot- 
 
 ' p. 419 seq. ^ pp. ig.jy.

 notes to it, and have entirely omitted them in printing the latter. The only 
 liberty taken with the text has been that of extending contracted words and 
 inserting a few points. It would, doubtless, have added to the value of the 
 work if all the accounts had been reduced into strict chronological order, but 
 this, in addition to being a work of very great labour, would have rendered 
 the process of collation extremely difficult, besides giving an imfaithful pre- 
 sentment of the MSS. as they now exist, and as we beheve them to have 
 been originally written. It wiU be obvious that the text is susceptible of 
 greater illustration in the form of notes, but as it was desirable to print both 
 MSS. their very extent precluded the adoption of a plan which would have 
 materially increased the size of this volume. 
 
 The Readers of this Work will sufficiently appreciate the UberaUty of His 
 Grace the Duke of Norfolk and Sir Thomas PhiUips in contributing these 
 unpublished documents, which have so materially enhanced the value of this 
 Collection.

 3 The Chancellor at this period was Thomas de Cantilupe, Archdeacon of Stafford. 
 He was chosen by the party of the Earl of Leicester, received the Great Seal on the 
 Wednesday next after the Feast of St. Peter in Cathedra, 26th of February, 1266, and was 
 constituted Chancellor, with an annual fee of 500 marks, for the support of himself and 
 his Clerks, by Patent dated on the 26th of March, in the same year. To the enrolment 
 of this document is added a curious note, stating that the King " folded the Patent with 
 his own hands and caused it to be sealed in his presence." — Rot. Pat., 49 Hen. HI., m. 18. 
 He held office until the 10th of August following, and was then succeeded by Walter Gif- 
 fard. Bishop of Bath and Wells. Thomas de Cantilupe was, afterwards, Bishop of Here- 
 ford and Chancellor of the University of Oxford ; he died on his journey homewards, 
 from Rome, on the 25th of August, 1282, and was canonised.

 2 Whitsunday fell on the 24th of May, in 1265. 1st of June. 
 
 * Edmund, second sou of Richard, King of the Romans, but the eldest by his second 
 wife Sanchia, daughter of Raimond-B6renger, Earl of Provence, succeeded his father, 
 as Earl of Cornwall, in 1271, and was one of the Regents of England from the demise of 
 Henry the Third, in 1272, until the arrival of Edward the First, in 1274. He died in 1308, 
 without issue, when the title became extinct, his younger brother, Richard, having been 
 killed at the siege of Berwick, in 1296. 
 
 * Robert Baynard, a draper and merchant of London, banished from the city for his 
 adherence to the Earl of Leicester. MS. Harl. 690, S. 131, 132. 
 
 6 The Hadestocks, or Hadestokes, were eminent citizens and merchants of London in 
 the time of Henry the Third ; no particular notice is found respecting Philip in the chro- 
 nicles of the times, but it appears, by the Patent Roll, 49 Henry HI., that Simon and WU- 
 liam de Hadestoke were of the party in the City of London which sided with the Earl of 
 Leicester, and forfeited their possessions, after the battle of Evesham. 
 
 ? Lucas de Lucca, an Italian merchant settled in London, he was afterwards much 
 employed by Edward the First, in contracting loans, and in other political affairs.

 1 Simon de Montfort, junior, was appointed Constable of Porchester Castle, by Patent, 
 dated 24th of December, 1264 ; Rot. Pat., 49 Hen. III., m. 26 : he appears to have held 
 it until the battle of Evesham : Rot. Claus., 49 Hen. HI., m. 5. 
 
 ^ The manor of Chalton, or Chawton, in Hampshire, belonged to the Earl of Leicester. 
 The following curious valuation of it, made after the battle of Evesham, in which mention 
 is made of two persons whose names occur in this roll, viz. the Rector of Catherington, 
 who has been frequently noticed as being with the Countess, and Robert Corbet, p. 46 seq., 
 is translated from the original in the Tower. 
 
 " Inquisition taken upon the oath of 12 freemen of the Hundred of Finchesden, (Finch- 
 dean) &c 
 
 Who say that the manor of Chauton was sometime of the Lord Simon de Montfort, Earl 
 of Leicester, and he held in capite of the Lord the King, and was the King's enemy j and 
 they say that the aforesaid manor is worth, per annum, iiij." li., in all issues ; and afterthe 
 battle of Evesham it was seized by Henry Husse, to the use of the Lord Edward j and they 
 say that the rent, for the term of St. Michael, is xviij.li. x.s., and that rent was received by 
 Stephen the Marshal of the Lord Edward, and by Richard de Putlyhe, the bailiff of 
 the place, and GeoflFrey the reeve of the place ; and tliey say that the land of Sir Robert 
 Corbat, who was the enemy of the Lord the King, is worth, per annum, c.s., whereof the 
 rent, for the term of St. Michael, is vj.s. iiij.d., and it was received by Geoffrey Eynon, the 
 bailiff of Sir Henry Husse, before the Feast of St. Michael, who seized that land after the

 Parson of Kateringtone (Catherington) was an adherent of the said S., Earl of Leicester,

 ton. • * Item, they say that when they, the aforesaid 12 jurors, by command of the Jus- 
 tices of the Lord the King, came to the court of Chauton, to extend the aforesaid manor 
 of Chauton, there came the bailiffs of the place, and would have imprisoned the bailiff of 
 the Lord the King, who came for the same business of the Lord the King, Avith the afore- 
 said jurors J and at the same time they would have imprisoned the jurors ; the names of 
 those bailiffs, to wit, Stephen the Marshal of the Lord Edward, and Richard de Pulyhe, 
 bailiff of the place, and Richard Morvile, clerk of the place ; and they will not suffer any

 * The printing of the roll had proceeded thus far, when the Editor was enabled to ascer- 
 tain the correct name of this person, who is so frequently mentioned in it. It appears by 
 a writ, directed to the sheriff of Northampton, dated on the 24th of September, 1265, that 
 upon the surrender of the castles of Berkhampstead and Wallingford, after the battle of 
 Evesham, Prince Edward granted a full pardon to Richard de Haveringe, (see pp. 24, 29, 
 30, ante,) Seman de Stokes, William de Turvey, and John de Haveringe, i^ch (he King 
 had confirmed. Rot. Claus., 49 Hen. HI., m. 3, in dorso.

 the Earl of Leicester. He was elected Constable by the commons of London shortly before 
 the battle of Lewes, at the same time that they chose a Marshal in the person of Stephen 
 Bukerel; and it was enacted that upon their summons, and the tolling of the great bell of 
 St. Paul's, either by day or night, all the men of the city should assemble, well armed, 
 and follow the banners of the said Constable and Marshal. — " Afterwards Hugh le 
 Despenser, the Justitiary, who then kept the Tower, with a great body of the people went 
 forth from the city, following the banners of the said Constable and Marshal ; and they 
 knew not whither they were to go, or what was to be done ; and they were led to.Isleworth,

 Chronicle, in the MS. entitled Liber de Antiquis Legibus, preserved in the archives of 
 the Corporation of London ; it was written by an officer of the city who was a contem- 
 porary and witness of these troubles. For this outrage upon the property of the King of 
 the Romans, the Citizens were subsequently compelled to pay a fine of 1000 marks. 
 Thomas de Piwelesdon forfeited his possessions after the death of the Earl of Leicester, 
 and they were divided between Henry, son of the King of the Romans, and Prince Edward.

 ^ In explanation of the correspondence which the Countess appears to have maintained 
 with Bigorre, in Gascony, it may be remarked that Petronilla, Countess of Bigorre, in her 
 own right, married, in 1216, Guy de Montfort the brother of the Earl of Leicester, and 
 second son of Simon de Montfort, first Earl of Leicester of his name, distinguished in 
 the annals of the crusades against the Albigeois. This Guy was slain, in 1220, at the siege 
 of Castelnaudari. Petronilla, Countess of Bigorre, survived five husbands and died in 
 1261. L'Art de Verifier les Dates. Richard de Montfort, mentioned above, was, unques- 
 tionably, t\t fifth son of the Earl and Countess of Leicester, although Dugdale enume- 
 rates only four : his mother sent him into France together with his brother Almaric, 
 and a large sum of money, 11,000 marks. Rot. Pat., 49 Hen. HL, m. 2, in dorso. See

 ADDITIONAL NOTES. 
 
 Upon a reperusal of the foregoing sheets the following observations and corrections 
 appear to be needed with respect to some of the notes ; the illustrations of the text having 
 been almost solely obtained froni manuscript sources, it often occurred that the infor- 
 mation required and diligently, but unsuccessfully, sought for, has presented itself acci- 
 dentally in the course of an entirely different enquiry. 
 
 Page 10, note 6. — Almaric de Montfort was not the youngest, but \he^ fourth son of the 
 Earl of Leicester ; Richard de Montfort was the fifth and youngest. See p. 74, note 2, 
 and Appendiai, no. III. " Master A. de Belestede," mentioned in the same entry with 
 Almaric, was Keeper of the temporalities of the Archbishopric of York, sede vacante. 
 Rot. Pat., 49 Hen. III., m. 25. He was pardoned and taken under the King's protection, 
 notwithstanding that he had been for some time in the service of the King's rebels, I6th 
 of August, 1265. Ibid., m. 10. 
 
 Page 18, note 3. — It may be observed, in confirmation of the doubt expressed respecting 
 the identity of the Countess of Gloucester named in the text, that Matilda, mother of Gil- 
 bert de Clare, seventh Earl of Gloucester and Hertford, was yet living in 1265. Rot. Pat., 
 49 Hen. III., m. 22. 
 
 Page 34, line 13. — The payment to a messenger going to York, on the business of Al- 
 maric de Montfort, may be explained by the fact that he had been appointed Treasurer of 
 the See of York, 7th of February, 1265. Rot. Pat., 49 Hen. III., m. 24. See Appendiw, 
 no. I. 
 
 Page 46, note l.~Ingeram Baliol is mentioned, among several other adherents of the 
 Earl of Leicester, in a writ commanding the surrender of a Castle, the name of which is 
 not inserted in the record. Rot. Pat., 49 Hen, III., m. 12, in dorso. Upon reviewing the 
 evidence which led to the suggestion, that he might have been a son of John Baliol " who 
 was captured at the battle of Lewes," the Editor considers it too slight to be admitted. 
 
 Ibid., line 5, note 3. — The name printed Moncens, in the text, and which is conjectured 
 in the note, to be identical with Munchensy, ought, perhaps, to be read Monceus, as there 
 is an enrolment of a pardon granted, in 1266, to " fValerand de Munceaus," for all trans- 
 gressions committed by him, during " the late commotion in the realm of England." 
 Rot. Pat., 50 Hen. III., m. 11, in cedula. 
 
 Page 71, line 14.— Baterichesdene appears to have been the ancient name of Bethersden, 
 near Ashford, in Kent.

 arbitrio, signari fecit, continentes quod nos Thesaurariam Eboracensem, tunc 
 vacantem, Almarico de Monteforti concessimus ; et vobis mandavimus quod 
 eidem Almarico staUum in choro et locum in capitulo assignaretis : ac nos,

 illam et alias qua per litteras nostras, nobis invitis, factee fuerant, dum in 
 eustodia praedicta eramus, volumus revocari etannuUari, immo nullas haberi ; 
 et Thesaurariam ipsam jam sponte praefato Edmundo concessimus ; et 
 ideo vobis mandamus quod, amoto quolibet detentore, eidem Edmundo

APPENDIX. 
 
 There is an entry on paffe 11.0 of a payment of thirty-nine shillings for a cup purchased 
 and given " cuidam menestrallo Regis CampanicB." The King alluded to was, it is presumed, 
 a King among minstrels only, and the minstrel so liberally rewarded one of his retainers. 
 
 In illustration of this fact, of the gradations of rank among the minstrels of the thir- 
 teenth century, and of the rewards bestowed upon them, the following highly valuable roll 
 is now for the first time printed. It is preserved among the records in the custody of 
 the Queen's Remembrancer, and contains the names of the minstrels who played before 
 King Edward the First at the Feast of Whitsuntide, A.D. 1306, when he held a cour 
 plenihe at Westminster, and also at the New Temple, London, because " the royal palace, 
 although large, was, nevertheless, small for the crowd of comers ;"' and conferred the 
 honour of knighthood upon his son Prince Edward and a great number of the young 
 nobility and military tenants of the crown, who were summoned to receive it, preparatory 
 to the King's expedition into Scotland to avenge the murder of John Comyn and the 
 revolt of the Scotch. 
 
 This document may serve also to elucidate the points disputed by Dr. Percy and Joseph 
 Ritson, respecting the country and dignity of the minstrels who frequented England in 
 early times. " In the reign of Edward I., it seems, a multitude of minstrels are 
 expressly mentioned to have given their attendance in his court, at the solemn act of 
 knighting his son. This is sufficiently credible, but will by no means prove them to have 
 been Englishmen."^ It will be observed that Ritson's suspicion was correct ; there can 
 be no reasonable doubt but that many of the persons named in this roll were Frenchmen. 
 He is less fortunate in a subsequent assertion : " as to dignity, it is pretty clear they 
 never had any to lose :"3 here Dr. Percy has clearly the advantage of his antagonist, for 
 the roll distinctly separates the commonalty of minstrels from the Kings and more eminent 
 performers; the remuneration given being proportioned to the rank of the indivi- 
 duals.

 1 Chedworth. 
 ^ It appears from this, and preceding entries, that Sir John Howard married his second 
 wife, Margaret, daughter of Sir John Chedworth, Knt., on the 17th or 18th of January, 
 1466-7. On the 14th we see that he gave lO.s. to his youngest daughter, Maro-aret, 
 " to bye here gere wyth ;" on the 17th Lord Bergavenny sends a doe, most likely intended 
 for the wedding dinner; on the 18th he presents 10.«. to young Chedworth, his wife's 
 brother. In p. 388, seq., there is a payment to Ordynge, the cook of Eastcheap, for several 
 pikes, of which four were for Sir John's wedding, and appear to have been purchased on 
 the 17th of January; the " fyne lawne" bought on the 20th of the same month was for 
 " my lady his wyfFe." His first lady had been dead rather more than a year. See p. 312, 
 ante.

 ^ Edward IV. landed at Ravenspur on the 14th of March, 1471. Lord Howard is 
 said to have proclaimed him in Suffolk, and was, doubtless, present at the battles of 
 Barnet (14th of April) and Tewksbury (4th of May, 1471.) , This list of retainers, 
 written at the close of the same year, is presumed to contain the names of those who 
 followed him at his own cost in the early part the season. See the Paston Correspondence,
