Anne Boleyn, Queen, consort of Henry VIII, King of England, 1507-1536; Great Britain -- History -- Henry VIII, 1509-1547
The barons of y{e} fyve portes bare a ryche canopy of
cloth of golde with stanes of golde and four belles of syluer and gylt.
The abbot of Westmynster in his rygals[40] came in to y{e} hall in
pontificalibus w{h} his monkes in theyr best copes the Kynges chapell in
theyr best copes with y{e} bysshops rychely aourned[41] in pontificalibus
and the ray cloth blewe spredde from the hygh desses of y{e} kynges benche
unto the hygh aulter of Westmynster. And so every man procedynge to the
mynster in y{e} best order euery man after theyr degree apoynted to theyr
order and office as aperteyneth came vnto y{e} place apoynted where her
grace receyued her crowne w{h} al y{e} serymonyes therof as ther vnto
belongeth. And so al y{e} serimonyes done w{h} y{e} solempne masse they
departed home in their best orders euery man to the hal of Westmynster
where y{e} quenes grace withdrew her for a tyme in to her chambre apoynted
and so after a certayne space her grace came in to y{e} hall. Than ye
shulde haue sene euery noble man doyng their seruyce to them apoynted in
y{e} best maner y{t} hath ben sene in any suche serimony. The quenes grace
wasshed y{e} archbisshop of Canterbury sayd grace. Than y{e} nobles were
set to the table therw{h} came y{e} quenes seruice w{h} y{e} seruyce of
tharch bysshop a certayne space thre men with the quenes grace seruyce.
Before y{e} said seruyce came y{e} duke of Suffolke high constable y{t}
day and stewarde of y{e} feest on horsbacke and meruaylously trapped in
aparell w{h} rychesse. Than w{h} hym came y{e} lorde Wyllyam Hawarde as
depute to y{e} duke of Norfolke in y{e} rome of y{e} marshal of Englande
on horsbacke. The erle of essex caruer. Therle of Sussex sewer. Therle of
Darby cupberer. Therle of Arundell butteller. The visconte lysle panter.
The lorde Bray awmoner. These noble men dyd theyr seruyce in suche humble
sorte and fassyon that it was wonder to se the payne and dylygence of them
beynge suche noble personages. The seruyce borne by Knyghtes whiche were
to me to longe to tell in order the goodly seruyce of kyndes of meate with
their deuyses from the hyest vnto the lowest there haue not ben sene more
goodlyer nor honorablyer done in no mannes dayes. There was foure tables
in y{e} great hall alonge the sayde hall. The noble women one table
syttyng al on y{e} one syde. The noble men an other table. The mayre of
London an other table w{h} his bretherne. The barons of the portes with
y{e} mayster of the chauncery the fourth table. And thus all thynges nobly
and tryumphantly done at her coronacyon her grace retourned to Whyte hall
with great ioy and solempnyte and the morowe was great iustes at y{e}
tylte done by xviij. lordes and knyghtes where was broken many speares
valyauntly: but some of their horses wolde nat come at their pleasure nere
unto the tylte whiche was displeasure to some that there dyd ronne.
