ADDENDA ET CORRIGENDA.

1509. In Rymer's collection, vol. xiii. p. 265, are printed two commissions, both dated at Knoll, 24 Sept. 1509, one addressed to Sir Gilbert Talbot, deputy of the town and marches of Calais, Sir John Digby, and Sir John Wiltshire comptroller there, knights of the king's body, to take the musters within the town and castle of Calais, and the castles of Guysnes and Hammes (Rot. Franc. 1 Hen. VIII. m. 17); the other directed to Sir William Scot and James Dyggys, directing them to take the musters at Dover of le crewe of one hundred persons, about to be sent to Calais under the conduct of Sir John Pecche, knight of the king's body. (Pat. 1 Hen. VIII. p. 1, m. 18 dor.)

P. 10.-Full particulars of the sea fight, in which Sir Edward Howard lost his life, will be found in Mr. Howard of Corby's Memorials of the Howard family, particularly the narrative of Sir Edward Echyngham, one of the captains present.

P. 30, noted.-The emperor's second ambassador here mentioned is styled in a document in Rymer, xiii. 227, lord of Berg op Zoom and of Walham, chamberlain of the emperor, and a knight of the golden fleece. On the 19th May, 1516, King Henry VIII. commissioned him to be his representative at a chapter of that order, under the title of nostre trescher et tresamé cousin et confrere du dit ordre Jehan seigneur de Berghes." (Ibid. p. 568.)

P. 38 note.-Erase the reference to "the account of the expenses of this Embassy," as the account belongs to Wolsey's previous Embassy in 1521.

P. 45.-The change of fashion at Calais with regard to "polling of heads" had, according to Stowe, been preceded by the like change in England about a twelvemonth before : "The 8 of May, 1534, the king commanded all about his court to poll their heads, and, to give them example, he caused his own head to be polled, and from thenceforth his beard to be notted and no more shaven." It seems most probable, however, that on both sides of the channel this important revolution was effected during the same month of May, and only eleven days later at Calais than at court; and apparently our chronicler, by his association of it with the duke of Norfolk's embassy, fixes it to the year 1535.

P. 51 note. The word "enramplished" is proved to be correct by a document recently printed in the 31st volume of the Archæologia, being a contemporary narrative of the Marriage of the duke of Burgundy to the princess Margaret of York in the year 1468. It is there applied to various things, apparently in the sense of fully furnished and garnished: thus, the turrets of the gate were "enramplysshid" with minstrelsy, the cupboard with cups, the hangers of the duke's horse-harness with great ballas, and the coursers at the justs were of a sute in cremesyn velvet, enrampleshid with great campaynes of fyne gold."
