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
The only explanation given of "Housel" in the usual Dictionaries
and Glossaries, "the Eucharist," could not possibly apply to
either of the instances in which it is used in these accounts. It
was evidently a payment made to the king's favourite minions, the
Jester and the two Williamses, but the precise meaning of the word
has not been ascertained.
Hoyson William, Jeweller, 4.
Hubart, James. See HOBART.
Hugh, Old, 37, 38.
Hugh, Young, 38, 52, _bis_.
Hungary, for the expenses of the Ambassadors of, at Stoney-Stratford,
160.
Hunting, money lost at a wager in, 162, 163.
---- fish at Greenwich, 219.
Hunts, to the, 73.
---- to the, for their expenses going into Sussex, 232.
Hurlow Henry, 184.
Hurt Sir John, 49, 50, _bis_, 115, _bis_, 209.
From the appellation "Sir," being attributed, and the notice of a
gown having been given to this individual, it would seem that he
was a Priest; but this conjecture cannot be reconciled with his
having been paid 22_s._ 6_d._ for his livery coat, nor, perhaps,
with the frequent bets won by him at shooting. In one instance too
"his fellowes" are spoken of. It is, however, certain, that he was
one of Henry's numerous minions, in whose society he forgot the
cares and dignity of a sovereign.
Hussey Lord, his child christened, 117.
John Lord Hussey of Sleford. He was beheaded in June, 1537, for
being concerned in the insurrection in Lincolnshire. Lord Hussey
left several children, one of whom appears to have been born in
March, 1531, and to whom the king was very probably a sponsor.
Hutton Thomas, 169.
Jacson ----, 146, 218, 253, 267.
----, the hardwareman, 146, 165.
James, the Hen taker. See HEN-TAKER and PURVEYOR OF HENS.
Jasper, falconer.

Jester, Thomas the, to, 41, 126, 204.

Jesus, to the Fraternity of, 46.
---- Aisle in St. Paul's, Proctor of, 114, 169.
Jewell house, 64.
----, for the redemption of a, 88.
This item admits of an inference which would establish a curious
fact in the lives of Anne Boleyn and her sister Mary, namely, that
the former had pawned a jewel to the latter, for the redemption of
which 20_l._ was paid by the king's orders.
Jewellery, for, 4, _bis_, 7, 8, 9, 10, 15, 16, 21, 82, 88, 90, 91,
97, 99, _bis_, 103, 106, 138, 139, 155, 156, 157, 169, 170, 179,
185, _ter_, 193, 195, 210, 218, 220, 236, 257, _bis_, 261, 268,

The immense sums expended in plate and jewellery have been noticed
in the remarks at the commencement of the volume.
