Myllon, [_i. e_. melon,] a, given the king by an Italian, 248.
Mynion, the King's ship, 18.
In the list of Henry's navy, written on the 22nd October, 1525, and
printed in Mr. Ellis's Second Series of _Original Letters_, vol. i.
pp. 219, 220, the _Minion_ is described to be "off the tonnege of
CLX tonne, and all newe." She was at Bourdeaux in November, 1526.
Nags brought, 39, _bis_, 104, 224, 235, 267.
Nails, for, 45, 234.
Navarre Queen of, her painter, 221.
Naylinghurst, Hugh, 59, 105, 134.
A mercer.
Nedan James, the King's carpenter, 20, 82, 93, 109, 138.
Neghen Peter, 13.
Nelson John, 72.
Nets, paid for mending the King's, 70.
----, paid for carrying the King's, 139, 177, 214, 257.
Probably, Fishing Nets, which it seems were always carried with
the king in his progresses; and hence it may be inferred that His
Majesty was fond of the amusement.
Nevill Sir John, 167, 267.
Apparently the individual who served in the vanguard at the battle
of Spurs. See Lodge's _Illustrations_, vol. i. p. 2.
---- Sir Edward, 272.
Younger brother of George Nevill, Lord Abergaveny, and ancestor of
the present Earl. Sir Edward was distinguished for his knightly
accomplishments, and was for many years honoured with Henry's
favour; but being suspected of a design to advance Reginald Pole to
the crown, he was accused and tried, and beheaded at Tower Hill on
the 9th November, 1538. Cavendish informs us that he was "a comely
knight, of a goodly personage."
Nevill, Master, to his son on his marriage, 277.
Probably one of the sons of Sir Edward.
New College, Oxford, to the children of, 244.
Newelm, 156, 248, _bis_, 249.

He attended Wolsey in his last illness. See Cavendish, vol. i., p.
311.
Night-Caps, 23, 31, 218.
Night-Gown, for Lady Ann Boleyn, 223.
The minute way in which the materials for Lady Ann's night-gown are
mentioned, cannot fail to excite a smile, even if it does not shock
our modern ideas of delicacy. The whole expenses of it seem to have
been 10_l._ 15_s._ 8_d._
Nightingales brought, 235.
Nods George, a huntsman, 68.
Norfolk Duke of, 32, _bis_, 33, 41, 63, _bis_, 76, 107, 150, 156,
