The Privy Purse Expenses of King Henry VIII from November MDXXIX, to December MDXXXII

Henry VIII, King of England, 1491-1547; Prices -- Great Britain; Royal households -- Great Britain
Archibald Douglas, 6th Earl of Angus, in Scotland, who, in 1514,
married Margaret queen dowager of Scotland and sister of Henry the
Eighth, from whom he was divorced before 1526. Angus had fled into
England and placed himself under the protection of Henry, who, in
1532, settled an annuity of 1000 marks upon him; and he remained
in England until the death of James, King of Scotland. The Earl
died in 1556. Lady Margaret Angus was evidently the issue of that
marriage, and consequently the king's niece. She was at the time,
when some pocket money was given her, little more than fifteen
years old. This distinguished woman was the mother of Henry Lord
Darnley, father of King James the First, and progenitrix of every
subsequent monarch of this country.
Annys or Ans Vincent, a jeweller, 218, 220.
Anservis, a friar at Guildford, 63.
Ansham, 220.
Ansley Bryan, 103.
Apparently a tradesman.
Ansley Anthony, 134, 183, 193, 283.
All the entries in which this person's name occurs relate to the
expences of playing at tennis, hence it may be inferred that he was
the keeper of the ground; or perhaps the marker.
Anthony Anthony, 161, 179.
A person of these names was Master of the Ordnance to Henry the
Eighth, and made the celebrated drawing of the "Henry Grace de
Dieu."--_See a note to Archæologia, vol._ vi.
Anthony Mark, 109, 157, 165.
Apparently a Venetian merchant.
Anthony a Sackbut, 174.
Anticks, for two brought to the king, 226.
Two buffoons, or two grotesque figures, might be meant by this
entry, for Shakspeare seems to use the word in both senses,
"We can contain ourselves were he the veriest _antick_ in the
world."--_Induction, Taming the Shrew._ "Indeed three such _antics_
do not amount to a man."--_Hen. V. act_ iii. _sc._ 2. Dr. Meyrick,
however, with more probability, suggests that it referred to "two
antiques," the taste "for articles of that description being then
at its height in England, as it had been previously in Italy, on
the revival of the arts." In old inventories, "one _antick_ head
piece," "one _antick_ armour," often occur. Milton also, says,
"_Antick_ pillars massy proof."
_Il Penseroso._
Antill 68, _bis_, 69, _sæpe_, 70, _sæpe_, 161, 163, _bis_, 167, 168,
236, 237, 238, 248.
----, keeper of the parks at, 70, 162, 163, 238.
