Accounts providing details of the quantities and cost of clothing
and other items manufactured for the first Tudor kings. By the late
fifteenth century the Great Wardrobe, the section of the royal
household that supplied the king and his household with clothing
and furnishings, was well established in the London parish of St
Andrew by the Wardrobe (many of the suppliers of fabric to the
Great Wardrobe and many of the individuals who worked for it lived
and worked in the city). This volume provides an edition and
calendar of the accounts for 1498-99 and 1510-11, as wellas the
section of the 1544 account relating to Henry VIII's campaign in
France. In addition there are two appendices listing the recipients
of livery in the extant Great Wardrobe accounts and warrants and an
extensive glossary. The Introduction to the edited texts discusses
the patterns of supply to the Great Wardrobe and assesses the
significance of a small but influential group of Italian merchants
who traded alongside the Londoners. Professor Maria Hayward teaches
in the Department of History, University of Southampton.
