Henry VIII, King of England, 1491-1547; Prices -- Great Britain; Royal households -- Great Britain
Dogs called "Cut" and "Ball," for finding, 43, 108.
---- brought, 13, 156.
----, paid to a person for making dogs draw water, 67.
This is the second entry relative to dogs being taught to perform
certain tricks, for a dog has been before spoken of "that was a
carrier."
----, collars and muzzles for, 186.
Dog-chain, for a, 94.
----, a race run against a, 220.
Dome man, _i. e._ Dumb man to the, 108, 176.
Domingo, 17, 32, 33, 37, 190, 204, 205, 267, 270.
This individual is thus noticed by Skelton:
----al his trust hanges
In Balthosor, which healed
_Domingo's_ nose, that was wheled:
That Lumberdes nose mean I
That standeth yet awry,
It was not healed alderbest.
It standeth somwhat on the west,
I meane _Domingo Lomelyn_
That was wonte to win
Muche money of the Kyng
At the cardes and haserding.
Balthasor that healed _Domingo's_ _n_ose
From the puskilde pocky pose, &c.
Skelton's Poems, "Why come ye not to Court," Ed. 1736, p. 175.
The above extract presents us with the surname of Domingo, states
that he was a Lombard, and had been under the professional care of
Dr. Balthazar. Most of the entries in which he is mentioned relate
to payments of money that he had won from the king at cards and
dice, and which in less than three years amounted to above 620_l._
As the circumstance is alluded to by Skelton, the accuracy of that
part, at least, of his account of Domingo is established. He was,
like Palmer and others, one of Henry's "diverting vagabonds," and
seems to have accompanied His Majesty wherever he went, for we find
that he was with him at Calais in October, 1532.
Dompue, to one who rode two horses at once, 218.
This word does not occur in any of the usual Glossaries of
Dictionaries. In the absence of any thing positive as to its
meaning, a conjecture may be hazarded, and if erroneous perhaps
forgiven. "Domter un cheval" is to break in a horse. Might not then
a _Dompue_ or _Dompne_, for it is doubtful in which way the word is
spelt, mean a horse breaker, and which would fully agree with the
sense in which it is here used?
Donne Sir Edward, 67.
Dorset Marchioness of, 149.
Probably Margaret, widow of Thomas Grey, Marquess of Dorset, K.G.
who died in 1530.
Doublets for, 3, 11, 23, _bis_, 39, 51, 54, 87, 98, 119, 136, 199,

Douglas Master, 163.
Douglas Lady Margaret, 98, 183, 281.
The king's niece. See ANGUS.
"Dove," to the wife of the, 72, 97.
To the woman who kept an inn with the sign of the Dove. Both these
entries are to the same purpose, of money paid for linen cloth for
Anne Boleyn, and which amounted to 23_l._ between September and
December, 1530.
Dover, paid into the king's hand for his offering to our Lady of the
Rock of, 273.
