Rigeley Rowland, 109, 195.
Rights, paid to Mark and the two Guilliams against Easter for to take
their, 121.
Upon this item the Editor is unable to throw any light. If it means
a payment of their accustomed gratuity of 20_s._ each, at Easter,
it would be intelligible, and it is difficult to explain it in
any other way; for that money should be paid to an individual for
receiving what was his "Right," seems almost absurd.

The King ordered 13_l._ 9_s._ to be given to this person in January

George Boleyn Viscount Rochford, the brother of Queen Ann Boleyn.
The history of this amiable young nobleman is too well known to
require any further notice of him in this place. Almost all these
entries shew the high favour in which he was held by Henry, for it
is manifest from them that he was the King's constant companion,
and was always one of his parties, at shooting matches, bowls,
dice, cards, and indeed at every other species of amusement.
Rochford, Lady Mary, 88.
Apparently the sister of Lord Rochford and Queen Ann Boleyn, though
it is extraordinary that she should be called Lady Mary _Rochford_.
She married first Sir William Carey, by whom she had Henry Lord
Hunsdon, and secondly, Sir William Stafford, Knight. The entry
relating to her is not a little curious; it appears from it that
her sister Anne Boleyn had pawned a jewel to her for the sum of
20_l._ which was redeemed out of the Privy Purse expences by order
of the King.
---- Lady Ann, 108, 111, 113, 123, 133, 215.
It seems that all these entries referred to Ann Boleyn, and ought
to have been inserted under her name. They are, however, alluded to
at the commencement of the volume.
Rods, binding rods for poles paid for, 22.
Rods, [Roods] to the king's bedesman at the, 122. See also RHODS.
Roger, 67.
Rogers ----, 186, 216.
Both these entries are of payments made to him for money won from
the King at play.
Rolls, the Master of the, 33.
