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
Of these two individuals little, or rather nothing is known, beyond
the fact established by these accounts, namely, that they were
entirely supported at the king's expence; hence it may be inferred
that they were favourite servants, or "diverting vagabonds," to the
king, perhaps a character a shade more respectable than his jester
and fool. See, however some conjectures about the two Guilliams
under FOOL, _ante_.
Gun, a hand, brought, 104.
"The name of _hand gun_ succeeded to that of hand-cannon, and
when the lock was added, was superseded by that of arquebus." See
