^{page 1 note 1} This is a note made by Stow, who did not then realise that these London Chronicles were dated by mayoral years beginning on 29^th Oct. The regnal years of Henry viii began on 22^nd April. See Introduction, p. iii. above.

^{page 2 note 1} The notice for this year is added in the margin.

^{page 2 note 2} Summary omits.

^{page 2 note 3} This forms the whole notice for the year in the Summary, save for an addition as to the sermon preached by bishop Fisher at St Paul's on 11^th Feb.

^{page 2 note 4} At more length in Summary.

^{page 2 note 5} Summary, but reading : ‘ coynynge’.

^{page 2 note 6} Abbreviated in Summary, and in Survey, ii. 77.

^{page 3 note 1} Summary with additions from Hall.

^{page 3 note 2} Summary.

^{page 3 note 3} Summary.

^{page 3 note 4} Because of the sweating sickness. This and the following note are transferred in the Summary to their proper chronological position at the end of the year.

^{page 3 note 5} The whole of this paragraph appears in the Summary, with the addition of a note as to how two French and Flemish vessels chased one another from Margate to Tower wharf.

^{page 3 note 6} Summary,. but omitting,‘for sellyng etc’ A note on the sessions of the Cardinals at Blackfriars is then inserted from Hall.

^{page 4 note 1} Summary, but reading : ‘ his demeanor ’.

^{page 4 note 2} Esher.

^{page 4 note 3} Summary. Three notes are then added on William Tyndale, the peace, and the parliament at Blackfriars.

^{page 4 note 4} Fitz Walter.

^{page 4 note 5} The notice of these creations is omitted in the Summary.

^{page 4 note 6} Irish.

^{page 4 note 7} The whole of the latter part of this paragraph appears in the Summary, together with two notes on Tyndal's translation of the New Testament, and on the proclamation prohibiting communication with Rome.

^{page 5 note 1} Omitted in Summary.

^{page 5 note 2} Summary, but reading : ‘ poysonynge dyuers persons at the byshop of Rochesters place’; and giving the cook's name ‘ one Richarde Rose’.

^{page 5 note 3} These two notes are omitted in the Summary.

^{page 5 note 4} Summary; but Bilney is called ‘ a bacheler of law’, and ‘ Paules crosse’ is substituted for ‘ Powles ’.

^{page 5 note 5} These notes are omitted in the Summary.

^{page 5 note 6} Bury.

^{page 5 note 7} Summary omits ‘ for heresie ’.

^{page 5 note 8} Ryce, Summary.

^{page 5 note 9} Summary omits this note.

^{page 6 note 1} Summary omits the last two notes.

^{page 6 note 2} Stow records this in his own words, and adds notes on the king's supremacy, and on Cromwellapos;s promotion.

^{page 6 note 3} Summary, but reading : ‘ coynyng’.

^{page 6 note 4} Summary omits.

^{page 6 note 5} Summary.

^{page 6 note 6} Summary, but omitting from ‘ for be caws’ to ‘ mayntayne it.’ Compare Stow's story of the prior's hospitality ap. Survey i. 141 and ii. 291, and Hall, Chronicle.

^{page 6 note 7} Given with the subsequent note of their penance by Stow in Survey, i. 347.

^{page 7 note 1} The last three notes in Summary, with an addition on the king's marriage to Anne Boleyn.

^{page 7 note 2} Summary.

^{page 7 note 3} Summary adding : ‘ Whiche Edward Halle made the notable boke of Chronicles ’.

^{page 7 note 4} Summary but reading, ‘ Audries ’ for ‘ Overies ’, and omitting ‘ in ye strete ’.

^{page 7 note 5} For the proclamation of Queen Anne the Summary follows Hall's Chronicle, and omits the reference to Queen Katharine altogether.

^{page 7 note 6} Wriothesley's Chron. i. 22. The second was Andrew Hewit.

^{page 8 note 1} The Summary omits the last two notes. It gives the enactment for butchers, which reappears in the Survey, i. 187.

^{page 8 note 2} This pathetic story is omitted in the Summary. It is remarkable that the Chronicle has no notice of the birth of Elizabeth on 7 Sept, which Stow duly inserts before the note on the fire at Baynard's Castle.

^{page 8 note 3} Should be ‘ Elizabeth ’.

^{page 8 note 4} Court-up-street, or Court-at-street.

^{page 8 note 5} In the Summary Stow transfers this verbatim to the 24^th mayoral year, to which it properly belongs. The true date was 23rd Oct. see Letters and Papers vi. 1433, 1460 and vii. 72, p. 29, and Gairdner, Lollardy and the Reformation, i. 455. Wriothesley Chron. i. 23 gives the date as 23^rd Nov. The monks were Edward Bockyng and Richard Deryng, the friars Hugh Rich and Richard Risby, the priest Richard Masters, parson of Aldington, and the laymen Edward Thwaytes and Thomas Gold.

^{page 9 note 1} Summary adds : ‘ and theyr bodies buried ’.

^{page 9 note 2} Summary has ‘ treason, where he so wittily and directly confuted hys accusers, that to theyr great shame, he was founde by his peres not gyltie ’. Stow then inserts from Hall a notice (misplaced, see above under 1532–33) of the martyrdom of John Frith and Andrew Hewet.

^{page 9 note 3} This is differently described in the Summary.

^{page 9 note 4} Summary adds : ‘ who afterwarde bare great rule.’

^{page 10 note 1} In the Summary Stow inserts a note on the Parliament of November, 1534.

^{page 10 note 2} Beauvale.

^{page 10 note 3} Summary reads ‘ Hexham ’. It should be ‘ Axholme ’.

^{page 10 note 5} Summary then adds “their opinions”.

^{page 10 note 6} Summary adds : ‘ as is aforesaid.’

^{page 10 note 7} Summary : ‘ borne in Holland ’.

^{page 10 note 8} Summary: ‘ for the Arrianes heresie ’.

^{page 10 note 9} Summary inserts: ‘ his head was set on London bridge, and ’.

^{page 10 note 10} Allhallows Barking.

^{page 10 note 11} Summary inserts: ‘ for denyall of the Kynges supremacy ’, and omits the following clause. The words bracketed above are an insertion, and perhaps did not appear in the original. In the Annales, 963. Stow follows the Chronicle, as above, except that in each case he states that the execution was for denial of the king's supremacy.

^{page 11 note 1} Summary inserts a note on the Earl of Kildare and his son.

^{page 11 note 2} Summary.

^{page 11 note 3} Originally this was ‘ xxviij.’ See Introduction p. iii.

^{page 12 note 1} Summary, ‘Auderies’.

^{page 12 note 2} Elsing.

^{page 12 note 3} Summary, ‘all syngynge the Letany wyth Faburden, theyr crosses, candelstyckes, and Vergerers beef ore them’.

^{page 12 note 4} Summary: “Powles quyer, with theyr Resydensaries: The bysliop of London, and the Abbottes mytered in theyr Pontificalibus. ”.

^{page 12 note 5} Summary, ‘ best apparell’; and omits “ w^t; theyr … othe ”.

^{page 12 note 6} Summary, “ and the ”.

^{page 12 note 7} Summary adds: “ This procession was for the recoueryng of the french kyng to hys helth ”. See also Wriothesley Chron. i. 32, a short account with date 12^th Nov. Stow has only a bare note in the Summary for 1575, p. 436, & in the Anuales.

^{page 13 note 1} Summary, “ who hadde the gyfte of the same ”. Stow then adds nearly two pages from Hall's Chronicle.

^{page 13 note 2} Called ‘ one Gates gentleman ’ in Annales, 965.

^{page 13 note 3} Summary then inserts an account of the insurrection in Yorkshire.

^{page 13 note 4} In the Summary Stow gives the account of Packenton's murder in his own words, adding “ the murderer was never openly knowen ”. In the Summary for 1575, p. 439, as in the Survey, i. 261, he says: “the murderer was neuer discouered, but by his owne confession made when he came to the gallowes at Banbury, to be hanged for fellony. ” See Hall, Chronicle ; Holinshed, iii. 883; and Gairdner, Lollardy and the Reformation, ii. 382.

^{page 13 note 5} St Sepulchre's.

^{page 13 note 6} Stanstead near Hoddesdon, Herts.

^{page 13 note 7} Summary omits the last two notes, but adds notices of the rising in Yorkshire, and other matters.

^{page 13 note 8} Makkarell, Matthew, prior of Barlings, Lincolnshire. D.N.B. xxxv. 391.Google Scholar

^{page 13 note 9} Kendall, Thomas. They were executed for their share in the Lincoln rebellion. See Letters and Papers, xii. I. 70, 734 (3), 760.Google Scholar

^{page 14 note 1} Summary adds a notice of their execution.

^{page 14 note 2} Summary omits, but adds notes on Cromwell's creation as K. G., and on the birth of Edward vi.

^{page 14 note 3} Summary inserts notices of the burial of Queen Jane, and of the Christmas court.

^{page 14 note 4} Summary omits.

^{page 14 note 5} Wife of Sir Thomas Pargitor, mayor, 1530–31. See Wriothesley. Chron, i. 73.

^{page 14 note 6} ‘ Sir John Allen … and an Irish Gentleman of the Garrets’. Annales, 969.

^{page 14 note 7} Thomas Harford of Plymouth. Letters and Papers, xiii. I. 580, with date 22^nd March. So also Wriothesley, Chron., i. 77.

^{page 14 note 9} Summary adds a note on Friar Forest.

^{page 14 note 10} Summary gives these two notes at more length, and between them inserts a note of the treason of Edmond Conyngsbie. The year closes with notes on the removal of images, and suppression of abbeys from Hall.

^{page 15 note 1} Summary adds: ‘ and so al the other immediatly after.’

^{page 15 note 2} Summary: ‘John Nicholson otherwyse Lambert, a priest,’ from Hall. Wriothesley Chron. i. 88 calls him William Nicholson.

^{page 15 note 3} Summary omits these two notes, but inserts one on the arrest of the Marquis of Exeter and Sir Henry Pole.

^{page 15 note 4} His real name was John Harridaunce: he used to preach in his garden at Whitechapel. See Gairdner, Lollardy and the Reformation, i. 208, Wriothesley, Chron. i. 82, 93, and Letters and Papers, xiv. ii. 42 (1, 2).

^{page 15 note 5} Summary inserts a note on the execution of John Johns and others for murder of Roger Cholmeley.

^{page 15 note 6} Summary is somewhat fuller, and then inserts notes on the promotion of Paulet & Russell, the fortification of havens, & attainders in Parliament.

^{page 15 note 7} Summary has a full notice similar to that in Survey, i. 103.

^{page 15 note 8} Griffith Clarke, Annales, 972. Wriothesley, Chron. i. 101 calls him ‘chaplaine to the Marques of Exceter. ’

^{page 15 note 9} Summary adds notes on O'Neill's rebellion in Ireland, and the negotiation of Henry's marriage to Anne of Cleves.

^{page 16 note 1} The whole of this curious note is omitted in the Summary. Though clearly a contemporary story it is in point of fact inaccurate. Thomas Cromwell's father, Walter Cromwell or Smythe, was it is true a blacksmith and brewhouse keeper at Putney: but the family had been settled there since 1452, and came from Norwell in Nottinghamshire. See D.N.B. xiii. 192. The Summary has a long and independent account for this year, borrowing only the next paragraph from the Chronicle.

^{page 16 note 2} See Annalcs, 977; Laurence Cooke, prior of Doncaster, William Horne, lay-brother of the Charterhouse, Giles Home, gentleman, Clement Philip, gentleman, Edward Bromholme, priest, Darby Gening and Robert Bird executed for denying the king's supremacy. Wriothesley, Chron. i. 121 has ‘Clement Philpott,’ and says Charles Carow, gentleman was ‘ hanged for robbing of my Ladie Carow’.

^{page 16 note 3} Summary omits. Wriothesley Chron. i. 137: ‘ In November were hanged on the backsyde of Lincolnes Inne two persons for murtheringe one Thomas Chesshers mayde in the same place ’.

^{page 17 note 1} Sic. Perhaps an error for 28^th Sept.; Wriothesley (i. 175) says Hubberthorne was the first mayor chosen on that date.

^{page 17 note 2} Sir Henry Amcotes.

^{page 17 note 3} Summary inserts: “ rose agaynst the nobles and gentelmen: and. ”

^{page 17 note 4} Summary, ‘ whyche was valyauntly defended.’ Stow then continues more briefly in his own words.

^{page 17 note 5} Honiton.

^{page 17 note 6} Bishop Clist.

^{page 17 note 7} Another handwriting begins.

^{page 18 note 1} Blank in MS. He was Sir Thomas Pomeroy.

^{page 18 note 2} Stow resumes writing.

^{page 18 note 3} Stow makes no use of this. In future I shall note only his quotations.

^{page 18 note 4} The other hand resumes.

^{page 18 note 5} Robert Kett.

^{page 19 note 1} On 26th August.

^{page 19 note 2} The copyist first wrote:‘ but his brother had his pardon.’ His brother William was hanged at Wymondham. Two other brothers were pardoned.

^{page 19 note 3} Probably Sir William Paget.

^{page 19 note 4} Sir Thomas Smith.

^{page 19 note 5} Richard, lord Rich.

^{page 20 note 1} Michael Stanhope.

^{page 20 note 2} Stow Summary, and Annales, 1017, describes this rather more fully. See also Wriothesley, Chron. ii. 31, 32.

^{page 20 note 3} ‘ Sir Peter Gambo,’ Stow and Wriothesley;‘ Gambolde ’ in Greyfriars Chron.

^{page 20 note 4} ‘Filicirga’, Stow.

^{page 20 note 5} ‘ Charles Gauaro’, Stow; Degavaro, Wriothesley.

^{page 20 note 6} Kynges head dore before Smithfield, where the Murther was committed. Summary.

^{page 20 note 7} Balthasar Gauaro, Nicholas Disalueton, and Francis Deualesco, Annales; Michael Desaluaron, and Frauncis Desalvasto, Wriothesley.

^{page 20 note 8} So Summary ; 24^th, Annales, and Wriothesley.

^{page 20 note 9} Bery, Stow.

^{page 21 note 1} Thomas Holmes, Stow.

^{page 21 note 2} Quoted with slight variation in Summary.

^{page 21 note 3} Summary.

^{page 21 note 4} Not given in MS., nor by Stow.

^{page 21 note 5} Summary.

^{page 21 note 6} Summary with some variations.

^{page 22 note 1} Thus far in Summary. Gardiner was remitted from time to time till 14^th Feb. 1551.

^{page 22 note 2} Summary gives this at more length from another source.

^{page 22 note 3} “ Against Easter”, Wriothesley, Chron. ii. 47.

^{page 23 note 1} Summary ending: ‘ who helde the detestable opinion of the Arrians’. His name was George of Paris, Annales, 1021.

^{page 23 note 2} Read ‘ dearth ’ as in Summary.

^{page 23 note 3} Summary with slight variations.

^{page 23 note 4} Summary ending: ‘places in Southery and Myddlesexe.’ See Wriothesley, Chron. ii. 49.

^{page 23 note 5} Summary.

^{page 24 note 1} Summary much longer.

^{page 24 note 2} Summary with some variation.

^{page 24 note 3} Summary.

^{page 24 note 4} Summary inserts: “ Syr Mylles Petrydge, syr Michell Stonhope, syr Thomas Arundell. ’

^{page 24 note 5} sc. Notandum.

^{page 25 note 1} Summary.

^{page 25 note 2} Summary: ‘ The old Quene of Scottes.’

^{page 25 note 3} Summary.

^{page 25 note 4} So in MS. Summary: ‘ made vpon the caussey ouer against the kynges palace.’

^{page 25 note 5} Lesnes. A somewhat different account in the Summary.

^{page 26 note 1} Summary: “Scaffold, which fowre wer condemned as accessary in that whyche the Duke was condemned for.”

^{page 26 note 2} Stow resumes copying.

^{page 26 note 3} In the Summary this monster is described somewhat differently; it lived eighteen days.

^{page 26 note 4} Summary.

^{page 27 note 1} The other hand resumes.

^{page 27 note 2} Stow in the Summary quotes thus far from ‘assembled’, but ends: ‘ and Irelande, defendour of the faythe etc’. In the Annales, 1033, he substitutes an account closely resembling that in Wriothesley, Chron. ii. 88. Wriothesley says that the style of the proclamation could not be heard for the cheering.

^{page 27 note 3} Framlingham.

^{page 28 note 1} MS., ‘ game.’

^{page 28 note 2} Dr Edwin Sandys, the Vice-Chancellor of Cambridge. The MS. is damaged.

^{page 28 note 3} Stow resumes copying.

^{page 29 note 1} Genoese.

^{page 30 note 1} Stow uses this paragraph, but omits ‘ amongest’ to ‘ statlye,’ and varies the last clause. In the Annales he follows The Chronicle of Queen Jane and Queen Mary, pp. 27–30.

^{page 30 note 2} Summary but ending: “ and xiiii. persones drowned, and xvj. saued by swymmyng. ”

^{page 30 note 3} So Stow. The MS. has ‘ londe. ’

^{page 30 note 4} Summary.

^{page 31 note 1} Summary in Stow's own words.

^{page 31 note 2} Summary reading: ‘ xx. day of January.’ The emperor's ambassadors had public audience of the queen on 14^th January, & the queen's decision was communicated to the lord mayor next day. In the Annales this is given correctly from The Chronicle of Queen Jane and Queen Mary pp. 34, 35.

^{page 31 note 3} Isley, Stow.

^{page 32 note 1} So MS.; read ‘ no ’.

^{page 33 note 1} Knyvet or Knevet. The Chronicle of Queen Jane and Queen Mary p. 50 mentions William Knevet and Thomas Cobham as taken prisoners here; other prisoners were Thomas Knevet, Anthony Knevet, George Cobham and Sir William Cobham.

^{page 33 note 2} Alexander Brett; see Chron. Q. Jane, pp. 38, 51.

^{page 33 note 3} ‘ hondred’ was afterwards struck out, and ‘ xx ’ written above.

^{page 34 note 1} So also Chron. Queen Jane and Queen Mary, p. 59 and Stow, Annales 1052. But Stow. Summary, and Wriothesley, Chron. ii. 113 have 15^th March.

^{page 34 note 2} Machyn, Diary, p. 55 gives 46. Grafton (ii. 543) says 50. Other chronicles smaller numbers.

^{page 34 note 3} Machyn and Wriothesley (ii. 112) give 18^th February, which was the Sunday After.

^{page 34 note 4} Should be ‘ xxij.’

^{page 34 note 5} Summary somewhat differently, with date 23^rd February.

^{page 35 note 1} Should be ‘ xxiij.’

^{page 35 note 2} Should be ‘ ij. ’

^{page 35 note 3} Other authorities give Palm Sunday, 18^th March.

^{page 35 note 4} Throckmorton. He was arraigned on 17^th April, and acquitted on the 25^th.

^{page 35 note 5} See Holinshed IV. 31, 64,74 for the jurors, and 31–54 for the record of the trial.

^{page 35 note 6} Lucare, Wriothesley.

^{page 36 note 1} Summary.

^{page 36 note 2} Summary, ‘ fowerth’. Machyn, Diary p. 65. 4^th June.

^{page 36 note 3} Machyn says 4^th June.

^{page 36 note 4} Summary, ‘Elizabeth a yonge wenche.’ Wriathesley, ii. 117, calls her Elizabeth Crofte.

^{page 36 note 5} Summary, ‘had vpon the xiiij. day of Marche last passed. Wriothesley ‘ in Apryll.’

^{page 36 note 6} Summary, ‘ iiij. or vj. companions.’ Wriothesley and Machyn name one as John Drake, a servant of Anthony Nevill or Anthony Knevett.

^{page 37 note 1} Summary, ‘ sedicious and opprobrious. ’

^{page 37 note 2} Nicolas Harpsfield.

^{page 37 note 3} The edge of the leaf is worn.

^{page 37 note 4} sc. Habsburg.

^{page 37 note 5} Compare Machyn, pp. 66–7.

^{page 37 note 6} So Stow in the Summary, but in the Annales he gives 12^th August. Wriothesley (ii. 122) has 18^th August, and so also Chron. Queen Mary, p. 78. Stow makes only slight use of the account above.

^{page 38 note 1} Stock Market.

^{page 38 note 2} Chron. Queen Mary, p. 80, gives them as: ‘ Phillipus rex Macedoniae, Phillipus bonus, Phillipus imperator, and Phillipus audax.’

^{page 38 note 3} Ironmongers Lane.

^{page 38 note 4} sc. Notandum.

^{page 39 note 1} The other hand resumes.

^{page 39 note 2} Omitted in MS. at foot of f. 19^ro.

^{page 39 note 3} The MS. has ‘ xiij’.

^{page 39 note 4} Stow resumes copying.

^{page 40 note 1} See Machyn p. 76. ‘ The kynges rydyng at Jube de Cane.’

^{page 40 note 2} i.e. Gardiner.

^{page 40 note 3} The first Sunday in Advent: Romans, xiii. 8–14. Wriothesley (ii. 124) gives the text, ‘ Fratres, scientes quia hora est jam nos de somno surgere ’ from verse II.

^{page 40 note 4} Romans, xiii. 12.

^{page 40 note 5} Matthew, v. 44.

^{page 40 note 6} Matthew, xxi, 42.

^{page 40 note 7} Luke, ii. 14.

^{page 40 note 8} Psalm, cxviii. 24.

^{page 41 note 1} This is clearly corrupt. ‘ One ’ and ‘ vnytie ’ have marks of abbreviation over them. Perhaps ‘ in omni imitate. ’

^{page 41 note 2} Wriothesley (ii. 125) says 16^th January. Summary, xxii January.

^{page 41 note 3} The procession of the buck: see Machyn, p. 80.

^{page 41 note 4} Blank in MS.

^{page 42 note 6} Summary, but adding the miscreant's name (William Flower) and giving more particulars of his punishment.

^{page 42 note 7} Wriothesley (ii. 128) calls him John Towley, and says he had been hanged on 26^th April, for the robbery of a Spaniard at Shrovetide.

^{page 43 note 1} The lower half of f. 20^vo is left blank.

^{page 43 note 2} St George's, Southwark.

^{page 43 note 3} Summary with slight variations. In the Annales, 1061 Stow gives a somewhat fuller and different account from Wriothesley’s Chronicle, ii. 130.

^{page 43 note 5} The remainder of f. 21 is blank.

^{page 44 note 3} Richard Langriche, Langridge, or Langreth, Rector of Weldrake, Yorkshire, Archdeacon of Cleveland from 1534, and prebendary of South Muskham, Southwell, from 1538 (LeNeve, Fasti, Hi. 148, 432).

^{page 46 note 1} Sir Hales, James. See D.N.B. xxiv. 29Google Scholar. See also Grafton, Chronicle, ii. 537.

^{page 46 note 2} This is inserted; ‘ ironmonger ’ had first been written after the next sentence. The mayor for 1554–55 was John Lion, grocer.

^{page 46 note 3} Julius III died on 5^th March, 1555 ; the service for him at St Paul's was on 17^th April, see Wriothesley, Chron. ii. 127.

^{page 47 note 3} Rouen.

^{page 47 note 4} Dieppe.

^{page 48 note 1} This seems to be quoted by Stow, Annales, IIOI. ed. 1605.
