History
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
Boleyn Lady Ann, 4, _bis_, 13, 44, 47, 50, 61, 72, 74, 88, _bis_,
90, 95, 97, _bis_, 98, _bis_, 101, 128, 179, 183, 217, 222, 223,
245.--See Pembroke.
Some observations on these entries will be found at the
commencement of the volume.
Bolougne, 268, _sæpe_.
----, paid the king's offering to our Lady of, 272.
The king was at Bologne in November, 1532, and offered 11_s._ 3_d._
to the image of our Lady of that place.
Bolts and Rings for, 251.
We learn from this entry that when the king was in progress, a
smith attended with rings and bolts for his Majesty's sleeping
apartments.
Bone Sir Robert, 160.
This individual was overseer of the buildings at Grafton, from
which it would seem that he was an architect. The title "Sir,"
probably implies that he was a priest, knighthood being then
too highly estimated to be conferred upon any but persons of
consequence.
Bonnets for the King, 15.
---- paid for, 23, 63, 94, 99, 123.
The word bonnet was used nearly synonymously with hat. They were
usually made of cloth, and were sometimes ornamented with feathers,
gold buttons, &c.
---- Milan, for, 24, 173.
What a Milan bonnet was, does not exactly appear. In both instances
they were bought for the king's fool.
---- night, for two scarlet, 218.
Bonvice Anthony, 82.
Books paid for, 18, 44.
----, Mass, 24.
The price of six Mass books with velvet to cover them was 3_l._
11_s._
---- brought, 85, 89, _ter_, 106, 109, 110, 112, 116, 137, 190, 274.
With the exception of the last entry of a book given to the King
at Canterbury, in November 1532, all the notices refer to books
sent by Abbots and Priors, or of the removal of boat loads of books
from one palace to another, between October 1530 and January 1532,
but chiefly early in 1531, and there can be little doubt that
they related to the subject which then occupied Henry's mind, his
divorce.
----, inventory of, brought, 89.
The inventory in question was clearly the catalogue of the library
in the Abbey of Reading, and was doubtlessly sent to enable Henry
to ascertain if it contained any thing relative to the theological
point in which he was then so deeply interested.
----, for printed, 101.
----, paid to an Armourer for garnishing, 123, 214.
Probably for putting on clasps.
----, paid for vellum and other "stuff" for the king's, 137.
---- sent to the bookbinder, 255.
Bookbinder, paid the, 189.
Boots, paid for, 30, 31, 123, 139, 183, 259, 264.
Bone ----, one of the hunt, 26.
Botelles, _i. e._ Bottles to Averay of the, 9.--See Averay.
Bottle for a, to contain salad oil, 12.
Boucher to, and his fellow on going to Calais, 124.
Bourchier Sir John, 54, 231.
Apparently Lord Berners.--See Berners.
Bouilloigne Anthony, 138.
A French merchant.
Bowge Skins, for, 90.
