Nicolas, Nicholas Harris, Sir
Henry VIII, King of England, 1491-1547; Prices -- Great Britain; Royal households -- Great Britain
Sir Henry Norris, gentleman of the Privy Chamber and Esquire of
the body. His career is so well known that it is only necessary to
remind the reader that he was suspected of a criminal intercourse
with Ann Boleyn, and was consequently condemned and beheaded.
Northampton, 71.
----, Mayor of, 160.
Northern man, paid to a, 206, _bis_.
Northumberland Earl of, 18, 109.
Henry Algernon Percy, K. G: sixth Earl of Northumberland. He
succeeded to that title in 1527, and was the individual who is
supposed to have been attached to Ann Boleyn before her marriage.
He was beheaded in 1553.
Norton Wood, to the Keeper of, 161.
Nott John, Groom of the Crossbows, 287.
Nowell, the King's minstrel, 64, 83, 205, 266.
Nuns of Canterbury, 22.
Nurse, paid to a, 22, 197. See MIDWIFE.
---- to the Duke of Richmond's, 41.
Nuts given the king, 160.
As the Duke of Richmond was at this time twelve years old, it would
seem that this gratuity was given to the woman who had nursed him
in his infancy, rather than to the servant who had then the care of
him.
Oars paid for, 6, 7, 262.
These entries shew the price of Oars, which it seems were sold for
1_s._ 6_d._ each.

123, 132, 196, 198, 207, 212, 216, 217, 219, 230, 247, 259, 276,

Apparently the person who is described as Gentleman Rider of the
Stables, in the account of the Funeral expences of Edward IV. on
which occasion he received 'nine yards of cloth, and the same
quantity for his four servants. _Archæologia_, vol. iii. p. 386.
From the _Ordinances of the Household_ made in the 17 Hen. VIII. it
appears that his annual wages were 20_l._ and that he was allowed
one hackney.

Oking, 59, 60, 61, 62, _sæpe_.
Oliver ----, 69.

---- water, a glass with, brought, 166.
---- pies brought, 32, 205.
Ordnance, paid the expenses of three persons' journey to Portsmouth
to inspect the ordnance there, 233.
This entry is of some interest, both as it shews the manner in
which forts were inspected, and the expenses of three officers of
government travelling to Portsmouth, and their charges there for
ten days. The whole amounted but to 5_l._
Oret Andrew, 195. See PAINTER.
Organ maker, to Sir John the, 131, 280.
It is almost certain that this organ maker was a priest.
