Baugh Doctor, one of the king's almoners, [9], [19], [32], [42], [59], [77], [90], [106], [117], [134], [145], [159], [174], [182], [208], [225], [254], [276], [280].

The large sums expended by the king in charity have been elsewhere noticed.

Bayles for the king's barge, [11].

A bail is a kind of small bucket, used for emptying the water which accumulates at the bottom of a boat. To "bail out a boat" is the expression still used by sailors for that operation.

Baynton Master, [36], [85], [209], bis.

Beagles, Robert Sheere, keeper of the, [17], [24], [31], [39], [45], [70], [79], [94], [125], [136], [219], [290].

These entries relate to the sums paid either as wages to the keeper of those animals, or for their food. His wages are said in some places to have been 5s. a month, but in others the 5s. a month is stated to be for meat for them, and as the latter entry never occurs near the former, and is uniformly the same in amount, it cannot be determined which is meant. That sum could scarcely have included both his wages and food for the dogs. Occasionally a reward of 20s. seems to have been bestowed upon him.

Beagles' meat, for 187, [199], [213], [231].

Beans brought, [218].

Bears, [Beres] to the keeper of the king's, [14].
