Large collection of Ordnance Survey Maps 

* George IV (1762-1830). King of Great Britain, 1820-30. Document Signed by King George IV, ‘George R’, and countersigned by the Duke of Wellington, ‘Wellington’, in his capacity as Master-General of the Ordnance, Windsor, 5 April 1827, a pre-printed commission on vellum, completed in manuscript, promoting George Wulff (d. 1846) to Colonel Commandant in the Royal Regiment of Artillery, embossed paper duty stamp, a few contemporary official manuscript notes, some soiling, 30 x 39 cmQTY: (1)

* Henry VIII (1491-1547). King of England and Ireland, 1509-1547. Document Signed, 'Henry R', given under the king’s signet at Windsor Castle, 2 January 1514, warrant on vellum in English, with the sign manual of Henry VIII at head, to Sir Andrew Windsor, knight, keeper of our great wardrobe, to deliver to Lord Kurson [Sir Robert Curson, Lord Curson], 14 yards of crimson velvet ‘and as much black boogi [budge] as shall suffice for furring the same gown’, some light soiling, later filing annotation '60' to top left corner, lower blank left corner cut away, faint endorsement: xxs xxv to verso, 144 x 246 mmQTY: (1)NOTE:Sir Robert Curson, styled Lord Curson, and Baron Curson in the nobility of the Holy Roman empire (c. 1460-1534/5), soldier and courtier, was of Blaxhall, near Saxmundham, Suffolk. Little is known of him before he was knighted in 1489, but he was one of the king's champions, wearing the red dragon of Wales and the queen's favour on his helmet in tournaments at Sheen and Westminster in 1494 on the creation of Prince Henry as duke of York. On 29 August 1499 he obtained a licence to leave his post as captain of Hampnes Castle in the Calais marches in order to fight the Turks under the aegis of the emperor Maximilian I, with whom he conversed about Henry VII’s murders and tyrannies, and obtained an assurance that the emperor would assist a Yorkist attempt on the English crown. On 21 October 1501 Curson was publicly proclaimed a traitor from the pulpit at Paul’s Cross. Surprisingly he was not punished, but was soon after made a baron of the Holy Roman empire. From 3 June 1509 his annual fee was set at £400 and so it remained until 1520, when he (or his son Robert) attended the Field of Cloth of Gold. Although he never became an English peer, his title Lord Curson seems to have been recognized at court from about 1513 when as master of the ordnance in the rearward he served under Brandon in the French campaigns. Staunchly conservative in religious matters, at Ipswich in 1515 he cut down boughs to stoke the fire under the Lollard Nicholas Peke. Sir Andrew Windsor (c. 1466-1543) of Stanwell in Middlesex and the Middle Temple was an Exchequer official who became Keeper of the Wardrobe in 1506 and served in the office for the rest of his life. He survived the fall of his brother-in-law Edmund Dudley, 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. He acted as steward for several major estates, sat as a justice of the peace in several counties and as a member of parliament. He was created Lord Windsor in 1529.

* Wellesley (Arthur, 1769-1852). 1st Duke of Wellington, Prime Minister, 1828-30, 1834.
