Note 178 — II THE ROYAL HOUSEHOLD
Reading edition
C. P. R., 1 Hen. VI, p. 3, m. 5 (3 May 1423), 5 Edw. IV, p. 2, m. 28 (29 June 1465), 1 Rich. III, p. 5, m. 21 (26 Apr. 1484). I think Newton is wrong in regarding Vaughan's appointment by patent as exceptional. The Liber Niger, c. 1478 (H. O. 42), fully describes the Jewel House, with its 'architectour, called clerk of the King's, or keeper of the King's jewelles, or tresorer of the chambyr', and says 'all thinges of this office inward or outward, commyth and goyth by the knowledge of the Kyng, and his chamberlaynes recorde'.
