Nicolas, Nicholas Harris, Sir
Henry VIII, King of England, 1491-1547; Prices -- Great Britain; Royal households -- Great Britain
Notices of the value of Horses towards the end of the reign of
Edward the First, will be found on the _Rolls of Parliament_, Vol.
i. p. 228, 245; and in the _Liber Quotidianus Contrarotulatoris
Garderolæ_, of the 28th Edw. I. _sparsim._ but particularly p.
77 _et seq._ They appear to have varied in price from one to ten
pounds, and are minutely described both as to their colours and the
purposes for which they were destined. Henry the Fifth's chariot
horses, "Chivalx de Charrettz," were sold for 95_l._ 14_s._ 10_d._
_Rot. Parl._ vol. iii. p. 237. By statute 11 Hen. VII. chap. xiii.
it was prohibited to export Mares or Horses beyond the sea. We find
from these payments that on one occasion 37_l._, and on another
53_l._ were paid for horses; and that 7_l._ 10_s._ 3_l._ 6_s._
8_d._ and 6_l._ 13_s._ 4_d._, were given at different times, for
the purchase of a horse. In 1547 two of the horses which brought
Bernardinus Ochin and Peter Martyr from Basell, were sold in
Smithfield for 4_l._ 13_s._ 6_d._ _Archæologia_, vol. xxi. p. 473.
