Note 130 — II THE ROYAL HOUSEHOLD
Reading edition
An order of 1493 'for all night' is in H. O. 109; Pegge, ii. 16, has a long account of the same usage in the post-Restoration Household. John Lyly (ch. xxiii) and Sir George Buck (ch. iii) were Esquires of the Body. A brawl in 1598 between the Earl of Southampton and Ambrose Willoughby, who was in charge of the Presence Chamber as Esquire of the Body after the Queen had gone to bed, is recorded in Sydney Papers, ii. 83.
