Note 767 — ELIZABETH 1558-1603 (continued 2)
Reading edition
Ibid., ccl, 33. This paper bears a note by Burghley, ‘Engl. shippes allowed money for ther tonag sȳce 22 Eliz.’ It has been shown that the custom, as a mark of royal approbation, was much older than Elizabeth, but it may have been made a right from about 1580.
