That citation as well as those by Arch. Nares, tend to prove that it was "a general name for the several pieces of defensive armour with which the horses of knights were covered in war." Little light is thrown upon the word by the manner in which it is used in this instance, excepting that it is spoken of in the singular number, and that it was for the king's use; but as Copeland is mentioned in another place, p.18, as a mercer, it may be inferred that "the bard" was of cloth or silk, and which, if it was for a horse, renders it almost certain that it was a trapping or ornament, rather than a piece of armour. This idea is confirmed by the following passage in Hall: "The king kept a solempne justes at his manour of Grenewiche, he himself and xi wer on the one part and the marques of Exsceter with xi wer on the other parte. The kyngesbardeand base and all his bend wer of cloth of gold and silver richely embraudered, with a mannes harte," &c. p. 707. Dr. Meyrick observes, "Thebardewas the complete armour for the horse, though sometimes confined to the poitrail, which when made to reach up to the pomel of the saddle, was calledhaute barde." This horse armour was often covered with silk or cloth of gold.

This item refers to the process by which the bottom of an uncoppered vessel is cleaned. In the sixteenth century barges were as important parts of royal and noble establishments, as carriages are in the nineteenth. Henry frequently removed from Westminster to Greenwich and Richmond, and was almost always conveyed by water. His equipage was sent in a similar manner, hence the frequent charges for the great and little barges, boats, watermen, &c. The royal barge was doubtlessly extremely splendid, for it appears that the painting cost upon one occasion 30l.and upon another Vincent the painter was paid for the "trimming," by which is probably meant slightly painting and ornamenting, 15l.4s.9d.The bestidea of its appearance is perhaps conveyed by the barges which now belong to the city companies, many of which are beautifully painted with allegorical figures, landscapes, &c. and gorgeously ornamented.
