also on the 13th.[59] His Majesty remained there until the 2nd or 3rd of September,[60] and evidently enjoyed every diversion which the country afforded him, namely, hunting, shooting, hawking, fishing, &c. From Woodstock he went to Grafton in Northamptonshire, where he arrived on the 5th,[61] when the Mayor of Northampton sent him a present of pears,[62] and where it appears he gave an audience to the Hungarian Ambassadors, for whom a house was hired at Stony Stratford.[63] Henry continued at Grafton until about the 10th, when he went to Ampthill,[64] in Bedfordshire, and purchased some silks and jewellery on the 15th;[65] and on the 20th we find him at Waltham Abbey,[66] where he was also on the 9th of October.[67] Hall informs us that about this time the King caused a solemn obsequy to be kept at that place for the Duchess of Angouleme, mother of the King of France, who died on the 22nd of September, at which ceremony he assisted, attended by many of his nobles.[68] On the 23rd of that Month he healed a poor woman at Havering Bower,[69] though he returned to Waltham before the 25th,[70] and on or before the 31st he arrived at his palace of Greenwich,[71] having previously fished at Hunsdon.[72] It is uncertain how long Henry continued at Greenwich, but perhaps a few weeks only; for we find the road near Peckham mended, in expectation of his passing it, on the 23rd of November, on which day the watermen were likewise paid for removing his "stuff" to Hampton Court;[73] and on the 4th of December we positively learn that he was at that place.[74] Hall says "the King kepte his Christemas at Greenwyche with great solempnite, but all men sayde that there was no myrthe in that Christemas because the Queene and the ladies were absent;"[75] there is only one entry, namely of the sum of 56_l._ 13_s._ 4_d._ given to the Earl of Angus, on the 15th of December,[76] which tends to shew where Henry was at that time, and which agrees with the Chronicler's statement.
