_Tables_ is considered to be the old name for back-gammon. In
the frontispiece of Strutt's _Sports and Pastimes_ an engraving
of a _Table_ occurs. Sir William Compton, by his will dated in
1523, bequeathed to Henry "a little chest of ivory, wherof one
lock is gilt, with a chess-board under the same, and a pair of
_tables_ upon it, and all such jewels and treasures as are inclosed
therein." _Testamenta Vetusta_, p. 593. Tables are thus spoken of
in a _Knight's Instructions to his Daughters_, originally written
in French, in April 1371, and translated about the reign of Henry
VI. "Ther was a gentille knight's daughter that wratthed atte the
_Tables_ with a gentill man that was riotous and comberous and hadd
an evelle hede, and the debate was on a point that he plaide that
she saide it was wronge, and so the wordes and the debate rose so,
that she saide that he was a lewde fole and thanne lost the game in

Numerous as these entries are, they afford no information on the

we may infer that he was one of the servants.
