16. _Hampton Court._--Miss Strickland, in the _Queens of England_, after
saying that the Queen (Elizabeth of York, Henry VII.'s wife) had stayed
at Hampton Court eight days, continues:
"It is worth noticing that Hampton Court was a favourite residence
of Elizabeth of York long before Cardinal Wolsey had it."
Now, in the _Gentleman's Magazine_ for January, 1834, is a copy of the
lease from the prior of St. John of Jerusalem to Cardinal Wolsey of
their manor of Hampton Court, it having been in the possession of the
Knights Hospitallers of St. John since 1211, when Joan Lady Grey left it
by will to that order. Where, then, was Elizabeth of York's residence?
Did she hold a lease of the manor and manor-house of Hampton of the
Knights Hospitallers? Or was there another royal residence in that
locality?

Minor Queries Answered.
_De Rebus Hibernicis._--1. Silvester Giraldus Cambrensis, born in Wales,
A.D. 1145, was the author of numerous works. Can any one furnish a list
of them?
2. What is the date of the _Annals of the Four Masters_?
3. Who was Tigernach, and when did he live?
4. What are the _Annals of Ulster_, and when were they written?
WILLIAM E. C. NOURSE.
[1. The printed works, as well as the manuscript collections, of
Giraldus, are so numerous, and deposited in so many different
libraries, that we must refer our correspondent to Sir R. C.
Hoare's description of them in his Introduction to the translation
of Giraldus' _Itinerary of Archbishop Baldwin through Wales_, vol.
i. pp. liv.-lxxii. 4to. 1806.
2. _The Annals of Dunagall_, otherwise called _The Annals of the
Four Masters_, were compiled between A.D. 1632 and 1636. From a
MS. in the Duke of Buckingham's library at Stowe, Dr. O'Conor
published the first part of these _Annals_, extending from the
earliest period to A.D. 1172, in his _Rerum Hibernicarum
Scriptores_. The latter portion has since been edited, with a
translation and notes, by John O'Donovan, Esq., M.R.I.A., in 3
vols. 4to.
3. Tigernach was Abbot of Cluain-mac-nois, and died A.D. 1088. He
wrote the _Annals of Ireland_, from A.M. 3596 to his own time.
4. _The Annals of Ulster_ were compiled by Cathald Mac Magnus
(Charles Maguire), who died A.D. 1498. They commence with the
reign of Feradach Fionnfachtnach, monarch of Ireland, A.D. 60, and
are carried down to the author's own time. They were afterwards
continued to the year 1504, by Roderick O'Cassidy, Archdeacon of
Clogher. See O' Reilly's _Chronological Account of Irish
Writers_.]
_Abridgment of the Assizes._--Where can one see, or what is the correct
title of the book containing _Abridgment of the Assizes, and Iters of
Pickring and Lancaster_? It is referred to in Manwood _on Forest Laws_.
