"We cannot gather the prices of Horses from these accounts as often as it is desirable. Gilbert Talbot, afterwards Earl of Shrewsbury, in 1578, offers 33l. for two Fryseland Horses."—Lodge's Illustrations, ii, [171]. "There was particular attention paid in this reign, as appears by several laws, to promote the breed of large and strong horses. Mr. Barrington on Statutes (p. 499) conjectures that Tournaments and other magnificent Pageantries being in vogue in the early part of this reign might have prompted these measures. Certainly the strength of the Horses would contribute to render Tournaments more safe to those engaged in them as well as heighten the general effect of the scene." M.
Notices of the value of Horses towards the end of the reign of Edward the First, will be found on the Rolls of Parliament, Vol. i. p. 228, [245]; and in the Liber Quotidianus Contrarotulatoris Garderolæ, of the 28th Edw. I. sparsim. but particularly p. 77 et seq. They appear to have varied in price from one to ten pounds, and are minutely described both as to their colours and the purposes for which they were destined. Henry the Fifth's chariot horses, "Chivalx de Charrettz," were sold for 95l. 14s. 10d. Rot. Parl. vol. iii. p. 237. By statute 11 Hen. VII. chap. xiii. it was prohibited to export Mares or Horses beyond the sea. We find from these payments that on one occasion 37l., and on another 53l. were paid for horses; and that 7l. 10s. 3l. 6s. 8d. and 6l. 13s. 4d., were given at different times, for the purchase of a horse. In 1547 two of the horses which brought Bernardinus Ochin and Peter Martyr from Basell, were sold in Smithfield for 4l. 13s. 6d. Archæologia, vol. xxi. p. 473.
