The Privy Purse Expenses of King Henry VIII from November MDXXIX, to December MDXXXII
Nicolas, Nicholas Harris, Sir
Henry VIII, King of England, 1491-1547; Prices -- Great Britain; Royal households -- Great Britain
Ambassadors, to servants of, 104, 106, 135.
Ambassador of France, 106.
Ambassadors of Hungary, for the expenses of the, 160.
The only embassy from Hungary noticed by Hall was in March 1527,
when the Count of Ottonbrough, John Burgrave, and others had an
audience of the King at Greenwich. After which, that Chronicler
says, "they were well cherished and diverse tymes resorted to the
courte and had greate chere and good rewardes, and so the 3rd. of
Maie next ensuying they toke their leave and departed homeward."
If this entry related to them, it is evident that they were on one
occasion received by Henry at Grafton.
Ambassador, money paid to the Scotch, 250.
Like the gratuity to the relation of the ambassador, in p. 49, this
appears to have been a present.
Ambreys, eight cupboards, some with _Ambreys_ and some without, 93.
"A cuppborde of waynscote with _ambries_."--_Harl. MSS._ 1419, f.
55. This word is supposed to have meant originally, a little purse
wherein money was put for the poor, and at length was used for any
hutch or close place to keep meat left after meals; a cupboard for
keeping cold victuals.--_Todd's Johnson._ It is evident however
from the manner in which the word is here used that it was part of
a cupboard rather than the cupboard itself, though it might have
been appropriated, as a sort of safe, for the keeping of cold meat.
Mr. Markland suggests that in the present instance "_ambreys_ meant
cupboards within cupboards, or places of more secure concealment."
Ambrose, a painter, 221. See "Painter."
Ampthill. See Antill.
Amsham Richard, 70.
Apparently a draper.
Anchor for an, for the king's boat, 262.
The small sum paid for an anchor, a cable, and a sail, five
shillings, is worthy of attention as shewing the value of such
articles at the period.
Andrew, the Italian friar to, 117, 128.
Angell John, the jeweller, 139.
Angling rods given to the king, 65, 240.
The proof which these entries afford that Henry the Eighth was
an angler, must interest the disciples of Isaac Walton. But
Henry was not the only English monarch who was attached to the
pursuit, Charles the Second, as well as his present Majesty having
frequently sought relief from the cares of state in that tranquil
amusement.
Anguisshe Lady Margaret, 98, 183, 281.
---- Earl of, 180, 247.
