This entry must refer to the expenses of bringing such part of the Cardinal's effects as were either at York or Winchester; but most probably the former, in which case it may be concluded that they were shipped at Hull.
----, to Sir William Kingston for his expenses when he was sent to bring up the, [115].
Sir William Kingston was sent by Henry to bring up, or in fact to take the Cardinal into custody, in November 1530, and found him at Sheffield Park, under the surveillance of the Earl of Shrewsbury. The particulars of his interview and subsequent proceedings, until death released his prisoner from the fangs of his tyrannical master, on Tuesday the 29th of that month, are fully related by Cavendish.—Ed. Singer, vol. i. p. 302, et seq. Kingston's expenses on that journey were, it seems, 41l. 10s. 10d.; but which were not paid him until the ensuing March.
Cardinal, paid for silk, for the, [116].
This entry must have referred to a transaction which took place many months before.
----'s plate and stuff, paid people for attending to the, [123].
----'s stuff for keeping the, [126].
We learn from this entry that Edward Lloyd, a person belonging to the king's wardrobe, was entrusted with the charge of all the Cardinal's goods. See also the item on the subject in p. [112], which has just been noticed.
Carew Sir Nicholas, [119], bis.
A Knight of the Garter, Master of the Horse, and Lieutenant of Calais. He was, says the most elegant of living biographers, "Henry's constant companion in all the splendid and romantic sports of his court, administered successfully to his pleasures, and was not without some secret share in his councils."—Lodge's Illustrious Portraits. Carew, however, like so many of his contemporaries, afterwards incurred the royal displeasure, and that displeasure was, in his case too, but the prelude to disgrace and death. He was arrested upon a suspicion of high treason, and beheaded on the 3rd March, 1539. He married Elizabeth, the sister of Sir Francis Bryan, who has been before mentioned in these notes, by whom he left issue. Whether it was this lady or her mother-in-law, Magdalen, daughter of Sir Robert Oxenbridge, widow of Sir Richard Carew, who is alluded to in the following entry, is not certain, but most probably the latter.
