Alard ----, a jeweller, 185, 195.
Alberton Richard, a falconer, 221.
Aleyn Thomas, 81, 124, 188, 203.
From the entry, in p. 124, it would appear that this individual was
a tradesman.
Alleys, for cleaning the, in Windsor park, 32.
Alford Master Thomas, 19, 20, 58, 142, 176. See also Alvard.
Alile, 217.
A person attached to the jewel house.
Alms, the King's private, 9, 19, 32, 36, 41, 42, _bis_, 59, 90, 106,
117, 125, 134, 145, 159, 173, 174, 182, 185, 194, 197, 208, 225,

Upon the large sums expended in charity, some remarks will be found
at the commencement of the volume.
Almayne, to an, _i.e._ to a German, 117, 193.
Almayne, to a gentleman of, 178.
Alvard Thomas, 96, 116, 199, 228, 231.
This appears to be the same person who is sometimes called
Thomas Alford. See _Alford_. He is supposed by Mr. Ellis to have
been keeper of Cardinal Wolsey's wardrobe, and which opinion is
confirmed by the entry in p. 116. A very interesting letter from
him to Cromwell in 1529, detailing the particulars of the last
interview between Wolsey and the king, has been printed by Mr.
Ellis, and also by Mr. Singer. If the conjecture be correct that he
was the individual who is noticed in other parts of the book by the
name of Alvord and Alford, it is manifest that after the Cardinal's
decease he held an office of trust under the king.
Amadas Master Robert, 97, 104, _bis_, 188.
Apparently a jeweller.
Ambassador, the Pope's, 9.
Ambassador, to a doctor, being nephew to the bishop, who was
ambassador here, 49.
From the manner in which this payment is mentioned it may be
inferred that it was a gratuity to the individual, in consequence
of his relationship to the ambassador.
Ambassadors, paid for the rent of a house intended for them, 74.
The king being then, September 25, 1530, at Waltham Abbey, a house
was engaged for the use of some ambassadors who were to have had an
audience there, but they evidently did not occupy it.
