qrt. Rhenish wyne xxiiij_s._ vj_d._" p. 193. No notice, however,
occurs of Gaillac wine, which we learn from these Accounts in
February, 1530, cost 5_l._ 8_s._ per ton; nor are any others than
Rhenish and Malmsey wines mentioned in the MS. dated "Apud Eltham
mense Jan, 22 Henry VIII," referred to in the _Archæologia_, vol.
iii. p. 156. The total amount expended in wines in the three years
embraced by these Accounts, was, 2,516_l._ 4_s._

Forest.
----, forest of, 152.
Wolverstede, ----, of the Armoury, 49.
Wolsey. See CARDINAL.
Wolverd Thomas, 234.

Wood John â, 118.
Woodcocks brought, 131.
Woodhall, 46.
Wood-knives, 65, 153, 158, 173, 248.
What a _Wood-knife_ was has not been ascertained, nor does the
word occur in any Glossary. They were possibly knives used in
hunting. With a single exception, when 40_s._ were paid for one
with a girdle, these entries refer to presents of wood-knives from
the Abbot of Reading. "Query, if a _Wood-knife_ was that short
sharp-hanger, _couteau de chasse_, used in hunting, and with which
Sir Tristrem, and other scientific sportsmen dissected their spoil
with anatomical precision?" M.
Woodstock Park, to the Comptroller and Keepers of, 244.

Woodstock, for repairs at, 248.
Woolwich, paid to a French Friar that undertook to stop the breach

This entry seems to be of a payment of 7_l._ to a French Friar, who
undertook to repair a breach in the walls of Woolwich.
Woman, to a poor, 30.
----, paid to a sick, 135.
Work and stuff for Ann Boleyn, 183.
Worcester, Earl of, 49.
Henry Somerset, second Earl of Worcester, and ancestor of the Dukes
of Beaufort. He succeeded to the dignity in 1526, and died in
November 1549.
---- Lady, 22.
Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Anthony Browne, and wife of the Earl
of Worcester just mentioned. The entry relating to her is of a
gratuity given to her nurse and midwife, hence it is certain that
her Ladyship was confined early in February, 1530. It must have
been one of her younger children to whom she then gave birth, for
her eldest son William, third Earl of Worcester, was born in 1527.
Worsley, Sir James, 141, 169, 224.
Ancestor of the Baronet's family of that name, he died in 1538.
