Anno. 1530.--Early in February, 1530, his Majesty was at Hampton Court,[6] and on the 16th at Battersea, but returned the same day to York Place.[7] On the 21st he was again at Hampton Court,[8] and on the 13th of March, the celebrated Hugh Latimer, afterwards Bishop of Worcester, preached before him and was rewarded with a gratuity of five pounds, from which time he cannot be traced by these Accounts, until the 5th of April, when he was at More Park, in Hertfordshire;[9] and towards the end of that month he was at Windsor.[10] Between April and July, Henry seems to have resided either at York Place or Hampton Court: about the middle of July he was evidently at Oking,[11] or Ockham Park, in Surrey; on the 23rd at Guilford;[12] on the 29th at Windsor;[13] and returned to Hampton Court between the 10th and 13th of August,[14] where he remained until the 16th, on which day he went to Easthampstead,[15] and on the 17th was at Asheridge, in Buckinghamshire.[16] On the 21st he was at Ampthill,[17] where he appears to have remained until about the 4th of September; on the 5th of that month he was at Hertford,[18] having in passing through Hitchin on the preceding day, given forty shillings to the Friars of that place.[19] His Majesty did not quit Hertford Park until the 8th or 9th, when he proceeded to Waltham, at which place we find him on the 12th.[20] He seems to have been again at More Park on the 21st,[21] soon after which he returned to Hampton Court, where, it is particularly stated, he was on the 14th of October.[22] He resided chiefly at that palace, occasionally, however, going to York Place,[23] and perhaps to Greenwich, until the death of Cardinal Wolsey, on the 29th November, in that year; when, Hall says "he removed from Hampton Court to Greenwich, where he with Queen Katherine kept a solempne Christmas; and on the twelfe night he satte in the halle in his estate, where as were divers enterludes, riche maskes and disportes, and after that a great banket."[24] "Certain it is, however, that Henry did not leave Hampton Court until the 8th of December,[25] and it is most probable that he did not go to Greenwich until about the 14th of that month,[26] though it is unquestionable that he was there on the 19th."[27] The only evidence of the festivities[28] mentioned by Hall, are entries of money delivered to the Princess Mary and Lady Margaret Douglas, the King's niece,[29] "to disport with all this Christmas;"[30] the large sum of 2615_l._ 9_s._ 6-1/4_d._ paid for plate, and jewellery, chiefly for the latter, between the 21st of December, 1530, and the 6th of January, 1531; new year's gifts; and money lost at play.
