This knight he served, and behaved him so discreetly and justly, that he obtained the especial favour of his said master; insomuch that for his wit, gravity, and just behaviour, he committed all the charge of his office unto his chaplain. And, as I understand, the office was the treasurership of Calais, who was, in consideration of his great age, discharged of his chargeable room, and returned again into England, intending to live more at quiet. And through his instant labour and especial favour his chaplain was promoted to the king’s service, and made his chaplain.” Cavendish’s _Life of Wolsey_, p. 70. ed. 1827. According to Nash, it was Sir _Richard_ Nanfan (father of Sir John) who was “captain of Calais, made a knight, and esquire of the body to Henry vii.” _Hist. of Worcestershire_, i. 85.
