The Privy Purse Expenses of King Henry VIII from November MDXXIX, to December MDXXXII
Nicolas, Nicholas Harris, Sir
Henry VIII, King of England, 1491-1547; Prices -- Great Britain; Royal households -- Great Britain
It ought to have been remarked that Dr. Buttes is introduced
by Shakespeare into "Henry the Eighth." His portrait occurs in
Holbein's picture in Surgeon's Hall of Henry giving the charter to
the Company of Surgeons.--_Anecdotes of Painting._
Chartesaye.
Chelsea, in p. 309, is an error of the press: the place meant is
clearly Chertsey in Surrey.
Crane, Master William.
He was the Master of the Children of the Chapel; and in the _Book
of Quarterly Payments_, 29-33 Henry VIII. an entry occurs of money
given to him for the performance of the children, evidently in
singing before the King.
Cromer Doctor.
He is described by Cavendish as a "Scots Physician." Ed. Singer,
vol. i. p. 222. Henry gave him 100 li. by his will.
Dompne.
It has been since suggested to the Editor by very competent
authority, that "_Dompne_ was the old English word for "Dominus,"
which was often applied to a priest; and that perhaps the
equestrian was such another as Sir John Hurt, see p. 330." Upon
the correctness of this explanation he cannot however refrain from
entertaining great doubts.
Dromslade.
In the account of Queen Elizabeth's _Annual Expences_ among the
"Musicians and Players" are "_Drumsteds 3_, fee apeece 18_l._
5_s._" Dromslade is the Dutch for Drummer.
Gloves.
Gloves are thus noticed in the _Vision of Pierce Plowman_;
"Yea I have lent lords, that loved me never after
And hath made mani a knight, both mercer and draper
That payd not for his prentishod one _paire of glovis_."--p. xxiiij.
And again,
"And than gan a wastowre to wrath him and wolde have fought
And to Piers the Plowman he profer'd _his glove_."
p. xxxiij. Ed. 1550.
On New Year's day, 32 Hen. VIII. Arcangell Arcan, Gunner, made the
king a present of _perfumed gloves_, and received xx d. in reward.
_Book of Quarterly Payments_, 29-33 Hen. VIII.
Hampton Court, to the feryman at.
To the other references add pp. 26, 255.
Hasilborough, 161.
In Whittlewood forest.
Henxmen.
Besides what has been said on Henxmen or Henchmen, it may be useful
to add that "the schoolmaster for the Henxmen" formed part of the
royal establishment, and the payment of his wages occurs in the
_Book of Quarterly Payments_, 29-33 Henry VIII. Hall also speaks
of such a person: "In the laste moneth called Decembre were taken
certain traytors in the citie of Coventry, one called Fraunces
Philippe, scholemaster to the Kynges Henxmen," &c. Anno 15 Hen.
VIII. Ed. 1809, p. 673.
