[248] Tudor Revels, 3, from memorandum of 1573. An account of Cawarden's life by T. Craib is in Surrey Arch. Colls. xxviii. 7 (1915). There is a doubt as to the exact date of his death. The i.p.m. gives 29 Aug.; his epitaph 25 Aug. Similarly the Blechingley register gives 29 Aug. for his funeral; Machyn, 208, gives 5 Sept.

[250] Nichols, Eliz. i. 115, 280; Athenaeum (1903), i. 220; 3 Library, ix. 252; Collier, i. 185. A reference to the Master of 'Revels' in Hatfield MSS. i. 551 is a mistake for 'Rolls'. Benger was son of Robert Benger or Berenger of Marlborough (Harl. Soc. Visitations, lviii. 10), was knighted 2 Oct. 1553 (Machyn, 335), and was auditor to Elizabeth as princess (Hearne, John of Glastonbury, 519). Further personal notes are in Stopes, Hunnis, 104, 311.

[253] Lady Derby writes to Sir Christopher Hatton in 1580 that she had been with her cousin Sackford (Master of the Tents) in 'his house at St. John's' (Nicolas, Hatton, 148).
[254] Printed by Feuillerat, Edw. and M. 180; Eliz. 18, 77.
[255] Sometimes garments no longer useful for masks, but not yet cast as fees, had been altered for players, and either kept in the office and 'often used by players', or given to the players or musicians 'by composicion' or 'for their fee'. Some were missing because 'the lordes that masked toke awey parte', or they had been 'gyven awaye by the maskers in the queenes presence'. Some were treated as fees, because 'to moche knowen'; in an earlier inventory of 1555 we find 'ffees because the King hath worin hit' (Feuillerat, Edw. and M. 299; Eliz. 24, 25, 27, 40.)
