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
A milloner of the sixteenth, was evidently a different sort of
tradesman from the milliner of the nineteenth century, for besides
caps, bonnets, and gloves, he then sold knives, sheaths, girdles,
jewels, &c.
Mines, the king's at Lantrissen in Glamorganshire, money to be
expended on, 69.
That Henry interested himself in mining, is, the Editor presumes, a
new fact in his character. From this item we learn that he worked
a mine at Lantrissen in Wales, and ordered on one occasion that
23_l._ 16_s._ 6_d._ should be expended on it; and on another he
caused 40_s._ to be given to a miner. "All mines containing gold
or silver were styled 'mines royal.' Of the latter the richest in
Wales are in Cardiganshire. These were leased by James I. to Sir
Hugh Middleton, and the profits enabled him to bring the New River
from Ware to London; and by Charles I. to Mr. Bushel, who had
been in the service of Sir Walter Raleigh; and from this source
of wealth he raised and clothed a regiment for the king. The
Cardiganshire mines, or perhaps its richest one, called Cwm Symlog,
which yields 100 oz. of silver to the ton of lead, may be alluded
to in the text."--M.
Miner, to a, 43.
Minstrells, to, 12, 14, 15, 28, 33, 55, 64, 70, 83, 128, 134, 170,
190, 205, 252, 266.
Numerous as the entries relating to minstrels are, no additional
information is afforded to what is contained in Dr. Percy's
elaborate essay, though they frequently corroborate the statements
therein. The frequency of these payments tend, however, to
establish Henry's attachment to music. In the _Ordinances of the
Royal Household_ made at Eltham in the 17 Hen. VIII. we find that
Hugh Woodhouse, the "Serjeant of the Mynstrills," had an annual fee
of 10_l._ 16_s._ 10-1/2_d._
