Upon the large sums expended in charity, some remarks will be found at the commencement of the volume.
Almayne, to an, i.e. to a German, [117], [193].
Almayne, to a gentleman of, [178].
Alvard Thomas, [96], [116], [199], [228], [231].
This appears to be the same person who is sometimes called Thomas Alford. See Alford. He is supposed by Mr. Ellis to have been keeper of Cardinal Wolsey's wardrobe, and which opinion is confirmed by the entry in p. [116]. A very interesting letter from him to Cromwell in 1529, detailing the particulars of the last interview between Wolsey and the king, has been printed by Mr. Ellis, and also by Mr. Singer. If the conjecture be correct that he was the individual who is noticed in other parts of the book by the name of Alvord and Alford, it is manifest that after the Cardinal's decease he held an office of trust under the king.
Amadas Master Robert, [97], [104], bis, [188].
Apparently a jeweller.
Ambassador, the Pope's, [9].
Ambassador, to a doctor, being nephew to the bishop, who was ambassador here, [49].
From the manner in which this payment is mentioned it may be inferred that it was a gratuity to the individual, in consequence of his relationship to the ambassador.
