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
This entry must refer to the expenses of bringing such part of the
Cardinal's effects as were either at York or Winchester; but most
probably the former, in which case it may be concluded that they
were shipped at Hull.
----, to Sir William Kingston for his expenses when he was sent to
bring up the, 115.
Sir William Kingston was sent by Henry to bring up, or in fact to
take the Cardinal into custody, in November 1530, and found him at
Sheffield Park, under the _surveillance_ of the Earl of Shrewsbury.
The particulars of his interview and subsequent proceedings, until
death released his prisoner from the fangs of his tyrannical
master, on Tuesday the 29th of that month, are fully related by
Cavendish.--_Ed. Singer_, vol. i. p. 302, _et seq._ Kingston's
expenses on that journey were, it seems, 41_l._ 10_s._ 10_d._; but
which were not paid him until the ensuing March.
Cardinal, paid for silk, for the, 116.
This entry must have referred to a transaction which took place
many months before.
----'s plate and stuff, paid people for attending to the, 123.
----'s stuff for keeping the, 126.
We learn from this entry that Edward Lloyd, a person belonging
to the king's wardrobe, was entrusted with the charge of all the
Cardinal's goods. See also the item on the subject in p. 112, which
has just been noticed.
Carew Sir Nicholas, 119, _bis_.
A Knight of the Garter, Master of the Horse, and Lieutenant of
Calais. He was, says the most elegant of living biographers,
"Henry's constant companion in all the splendid and romantic
sports of his court, administered successfully to his pleasures,
and was not without some secret share in his councils."--_Lodge's
Illustrious Portraits._ Carew, however, like so many of his
contemporaries, afterwards incurred the royal displeasure, and
that displeasure was, in his case too, but the prelude to disgrace
and death. He was arrested upon a suspicion of high treason, and
beheaded on the 3rd March, 1539. He married Elizabeth, the sister
of Sir Francis Bryan, who has been before mentioned in these
notes, by whom he left issue. Whether it was this lady or her
mother-in-law, Magdalen, daughter of Sir Robert Oxenbridge, widow
of Sir Richard Carew, who is alluded to in the following entry, is
not certain, but most probably the latter.
---- Lady, 6.

Evidently a dog which had been taught to fetch and carry.
