[134] Ibid. The name referred to Mary Tudor, sister of Henry VIII.
[135] Roy. MSS. 14, B xxii A. Doubtless the ‘carrack of Jene called the Mary Loret,’ of Stowe MSS. 146, f. 29, and the ‘Gabriel Royal or Carrack of Genoa,’ of Letters and Papers, 15th Dec. 1512. In the absence of other evidence the authoritative dates given in the Royal MS. must be accepted, but there is no trace in other papers of the existence between 1509-12, of some of the vessels assigned by it to 1509, and some of the dates can be shown to be wrong.
[136] Roy. MSS. 14 B xxii A. Perhaps the James of Hull, for which £260 was paid in July 1512 (Kings Book of Payments). Rebuilt about 1524, (Chapter House Book, vol. vi).
[137] Roy. MSS. 14, B xxii A. In March 1512 Sir Ed. Howard was paid £666, 13s 4d for the Mary Howard, bought of him (King’s Book of Payments), and probably the same vessel.
[138] Captured from Barton, the Scotch privateer.
[139] Ibid.
[140] Roy. MSS. 14, B xxii A. The John Hopton, or ‘John Hopton’s Ship’ of 1512. In Jan. 1513 he received £1000 ‘for his great ship bought by the king’ (King’s Book of Payments).
[141] Bought from Wm. Gonson and others, (Letters and Papers, 24th Apr., 1513).
[142] Certainly a king’s ship, but whether bought or built only probable by collation.
