[9] There is some doubt concerning the price paid by the King for the Markham Arabian. The Duke of Newcastle, in The New Method of Dressing Horses (1667) says: “Mr. Markham sold him to King James for five hundred pounds,” and this statement has been repeated by Sidney and other writers. In the Times of September 1, 1878, however, a correspondent signing himself “H” drew attention to the following entry in the “Records of the Exchequer:” “Item, December 20, 1616, paid to Master Markham for an Arabian Horse for His Majesty’s own use £154. Item, the same paid to a man that brought the same Arabian Horse and kept him £11.”
