Henry VIII (1491-1547). King of England and Ireland, 1509-1547. A fine early Document Signed, 'Henry R', as King of England, at the manor of Greenwich, 30 June 'thyrd year of our reign' [1511], manuscript document on vellum, being a warrant under the Royal sign manual and signet, to Andrew Windsor [‘Wyndesore’], keeper of the great wardrobe, ‘to deliver two dozen lyams [leashes] and collars for hounds, six chains to tie hounds and 40 ells [in England one ell would have been 45 ins [or 1.143 m] of canvas to cover a cart for carriage of the king’s hounds, to Thomas Carmynow, gentleman usher of the king’s chamber, William Rolt, yeoman of the chamber, or the bearer of the warrant’, traces of the king’s signet can be seen at the foot, 1 page, slightly irregular shape, approximately 102 x 255mmQty: (1)Footnote:Andrew Windsor (c.1467-1543) of Stanwell, Middlesex, succeeded to the office of Keeper of the Great Wardrobe in 1506, during the reign of Henry VII, retaining that position under Henry VIII, until his death. For a good account of Windsor see History of Parliament Online:‘… As keeper of the wardrobe [Windsor] was concerned with all the ceremonies of state, at several of which his attendance is recorded. He witnessed the marriage of Princess Mary to Louis XII in 1514, signed the peace and marriage treaties with France in 1518, and two years later accompanied the King to the Field of Cloth of Gold. On 1 Sept. 1524 he was at Blackheath to greet the papal envoy, who was bearing Henry VIII the gift of a sacred rose.’‘Thomas Carminow was of Respryn in Cornwall and the Middle Temple. He married Elizabeth Cheesman; two of their sons, John and Nicholas, sat as MPs for Cornish constituencies. He was already gentleman usher of the privy chamber by 1509 (Letters and Papers 1 82). Thomas made his will on 16 February 1528, requesting burial in the Greyfriars church at Bodmin before the alter of John Carminow, and bequeathed all his tinworks in Cornwall to his wife. He died between 12 June 1528, when he wrote a codicil to his will, and 15 May 1529 when it was proved.’ [TNA PROB 11/23/53].‘William Rolte was appointed to the next vacancy as a sergeant-at-arms in November 1511 ‘in consideration of the daily service done unto us’ [TNA E101/417/7 m128]. IN 1521 he was a ranger of Waltham Forest, bailiff of Topsham and Cullompton in Devon and keeper of the park of Cullompton; to trace, but can probably be identified with the individual of that name, referred to as a serjeant-at-arms, who received crown grants of the Essex manors of Chigwell and Westhatch in 1537 and 1538. His will of 19 September 1541, in which he describes himself as of Chigwell, ‘serjeant-at-arms unto our said sovereign lord [the king]’, was proved on 10 November 1541.’ [TNA PROB 11/28/286].A group entry for Henry VIII’s privy chamber is to be found in ODNB, and begins:‘Henry VIII, privy chamber of (act. 1509–1547), body of personal servants to the king, was an institution whose importance has only recently been fully appreciated. Developments at the royal court from the mid-fifteenth century put in place new living arrangements for the king—a private suite known (from its most important room) as ‘the privy chamber’. In turn this led by the end of the first decade of the reign of Henry VIII to the appearance of a new category of gentle-born courtiers who alone attended the sovereign there and provided the social milieu in which he spent much of his time when away from the public eye. The benefits of belonging to the privy chamber circle meant that there was a constant pressure for growth in numbers; the ten of 1526 had more than doubled by the time of the king's death on 28 January 1547.’Henry VIII kept lots of animals including canaries, nightingales and ferrets, but his ‘favourite pets were his dogs, especially beagles, spaniels and greyhounds; the latter were considered a particularly noble breed. Over the years the King sent hundreds of such dogs, all 'garnished with a good iron collar', as gifts to the Emperor and the King of France. Henry’s own dogs wore decorative collars of velvet – only permitted to royal dogs – and kid, with or without torettes (spikes) of silver and gold; some were adorned with pearls all the King’s arms and his portcullis and rose badges; his dogs coats’ were of white silk, and they had their fur regularly rubbed down with 'hair cloth'. Sixty-five dog leashes were found in Henry's closet after his death. Pets dogs were fed bread, not meat, to discourage them from developing hunting instincts. Two of Henry’s dogs, Cut and Ball, were prone to getting lost, and he paid out the huge sum of nearly 15s. (about £225 today) in rewards to those who brought them back.’ Alison Weir, Henry VIII: King and Court, Random House, 2001, p. 31.
