Father of the celebrated Sir Thomas Gresham, the founder of the Royal Exchange, and, whom Mr. Lodge happily terms, "the great patriarch of commerce and of commercial finance." This Richard Gresham was a mercer in London, and, according to the same elegant writer, was "agent for the crown with the trading interest, or, as it was called, king's merchant, an office of the highest importance and trust, inasmuch as it united the duty of raising money for the royal occasions by private loans, with that of protecting and cherishing the sources from which they were derived." He was knighted, and became Mayor of London in 1537, and died in 1548. See also Ward'sGresham Professors.

Of these two individuals little, or rather nothing is known, beyond the fact established by these accounts, namely, that they were entirely supported at the king's expence; hence it may be inferred that they were favourite servants, or "diverting vagabonds," to the king, perhaps a character a shade more respectable than his jester and fool. See, however some conjectures about the two Guilliams underFool,ante.

No word has been more commented upon than "Henchmen," or Henxmen. Without entering into the controversy it may be sufficient to state, that in the reign of Henry the Eighth it meant the pages of honor. They were the sons of gentlemen, and in public processionsalways walked near the monarch's horse: a correct idea may be formed of their appearance from the representation of them in one of the pictures in the meeting room of the Society of Antiquarians. It seems from these entries that they lodged in the house of Johnson, the master of the king's barge, and that the rent of it was 40s.per annum. Observations on the word will be found in Spelman'sEtymol:, Pegge'sCuriala, from the Liber Niger Edw. IV., Lodge'sIllustrations, vol. i. p. 359, theNorthumberland Household Book, Blount'sGlossary.
