This appears to be the same person who is sometimes called Thomas Alford. SeeAlford. He is supposed by Mr. Ellis to have been keeper of Cardinal Wolsey's wardrobe, and which opinion is confirmed by the entry in p.116. A very interesting letter from him to Cromwell in 1529, detailing the particulars of the last interview between Wolsey and the king, has been printed by Mr. Ellis, and also by Mr. Singer. If the conjecture be correct that he was the individual who is noticed in other parts of the book by the name of Alvord and Alford, it is manifest that after the Cardinal's decease he held an office of trust under the king.

The only embassy from Hungary noticed by Hall was in March 1527, when the Count of Ottonbrough, John Burgrave, and others had an audience of the King at Greenwich. After which, that Chronicler says, "they were well cherished and diverse tymes resorted to the courte and had greate chere and good rewardes, and so the 3rd. of Maie next ensuying they toke their leave and departed homeward." If this entry related to them, it is evident that they were on one occasion received by Henry at Grafton.

Archibald Douglas, 6th Earl of Angus, in Scotland, who, in 1514, married Margaret queen dowager of Scotland and sister of Henry the Eighth, from whom he was divorced before 1526. Angus had fled into England and placed himself under the protection of Henry, who, in 1532, settled an annuity of 1000 marks upon him; and he remained in England until the death of James, King of Scotland. The Earl died in 1556. Lady Margaret Angus was evidently the issue of that marriage, and consequently the king's niece. She was at the time, when some pocket money was given her, little more than fifteen years old. This distinguished woman was the mother of Henry Lord Darnley, father of King James the First, and progenitrix of every subsequent monarch of this country.

Ampthill, in the hundred of Redbornstoke, in Bedfordshire. In 1441, William Beauchamp, Lord St. Amand, possessed it in right of his wife, and sold it to Sir John Cornwall Lord Fanhope, one of the heroes of Agincourt, and who, according to "Leland, builded the castelle of Antehill of such spoils as it is said he won in France." In 1453 Henry Duke of Exeter, son of Fanhope's wife, by her first husband, entered into a bond of 6000 marks to abide by the arbitration of Sir Thomas Bourchier respecting the manor of Ampthill and some other estates. In 1524, Roger de Grey Earl of Kent, alienated it to the Crown. It was made an honor by act of Parliament, the preamble to which states, that it was Henry the Eighth's intention "to erect, build, and edifie upon his grace's manor of Ampthill, sumptuous, stately, beautiful, and princely buildings." Ampthill has derived a mournful interest from its having been the residence of the unhappy Katherine, during the early part of the proceedings relative to her divorce, and she was cited from thence to attend the Commissioners at Dunstable. Henry was evidently at Ampthill in August 1530, September 1531, and July 1532. Mr. Lysons, says, no account of the manor is to be found during several subsequent reigns. The palace was allowed to go to decay. James the First bestowed the honor on the Earl of Kelly, but it soon reverted to the Crown. The custody of the Great Park was granted to Lord Bruce in 1613, and his descendants became lessees of it, in whom it continued until 1738, when the lease was purchased by the Duke of Bedford, and it was exchanged in 1800 to the late Earl of Upper Ossory. In the 17th century a family of Nicholls were lessees of Ampthill Great Park, and after the Restoration it was given by Charles the Second to Mr. John Ashburnham. In 1720, his descendants sold it to Lord Fitz-William, from whom it was purchased, in 1736, by Lady Gowran, grandmother of its late owner, the Earl of Upper Ossory, who died in 1818. That nobleman erected a column, in 1770, on the scite of Ampthill castle, upon which are inscribed the following beautiful lines by Horace Walpole.

It is scarcely necessary to remark, that the servants or retainers of eminent personages were distinguished by peculiar badges, which were placed on the arm and other parts of their dresses.

"Banished" to families sent out of Greenwich,104,125,129,173,273,bis.
The last entry excepting one on this subject confirms the opinion relative to the former, namely, that they were families in which an infectious disease had appeared, and which were consequently sent out of Greenwich lest it should extend to the court, and endanger the royal person. The king however seems always to have borne the expences attending their removal, and which are deserving of notice as showing what was considered a sufficient sum for the purpose. Some of the persons thus "banished" were evidently above the lower orders, for we find that William Morley had six servants, and Hadstone, three.

Henry's attachment to horses is manifested by numerous entries, and this horse, which is in one place called a "Barra horse," and in another the "Barbaristo horse," was apparently a favourite Arabian sent from some part of Barbary, from which it derived its appellation. Shakespeare also speaks of a "Barbary horse:"
