The Duke’s Wardrobe, also known a Waterton’s Alley or The Duke’s Wardrobe atte Baynardes Castel, was so named for its association to Duke Humphrey of Gloucester, brother of Henry V (Harben 205). Victor Belcher and Martha Carlin entertain the possiblility that the location is to be identified with Love Lane (Carlin and Belcher 97).

(DUKE6.xml) Castle Baynard Ward

Castle Baynard Ward is west of Queenhithe Ward and Bread Street Ward. The ward is named after Baynard’s Castle, one of its main ornaments.

(CAST2.xml) Puddle Wharf

Puddle Wharf was a water gate along the north bank of the Thames (Stow). Also known as Puddle Dock, it was located in Castle Baynard Ward, down from St. Andrew’s Hill. Puddle Wharf was built in 1294 to serve as the main quay for Blackfriars Monastery. (Weinreb and Hibbert 68, 229). In the early modern period, Puddle Wharf would have been the main landing place for playgoers on their way to the Blackfriars theatre via the river.

(PUDD2.xml) Blackfriars (Farringdon Within)

The largest and wealthiest friary in England, Blackfriars was not only a religious institution but also a cultural, intellectual, and political centre of London. The friary housed London’s Dominican friars (known in England as the Black friars) after their move from the smaller Blackfriars precincts in Holborn. The Dominicans’ aquisition of the site, overseen by Robert Kilwardby, began in 1275. Once completed, the precinct was second in size only to St. Paul’s Churchyard, spanning eight acres from the Fleet to St. Andrew’s Hill and from Ludgate to the Thames. Blackfriars remained a political and social hub, hosting councils and even parlimentary proceedings, until its surrender in 1538 pursuant to Henry VIII’s Dissolution of the Monasteries (Holder 27–56).

(BLAC1.xml) The Thames Information is not yet available. (THAM2.xml) King’s College Mansion

Stow refers to King’s College Mansion variously as the Prior of Okebornes House. In recording the history of the location, Stow records the location by describing it as one great Messuage, of old time belonging to the Priorie of Okeborne in Wilshire, and was the Priors lodging when he repayred to London (Stow 2:13-14). Stow further notes that the mansion was given to King’s College, Cambridge. In terms of its location, the site was located in Castle Baynard Ward just north of the Blackfriars Stars, on the east side of Water Lane.

(KING18.xml) London

The city of London, not to be confused with the allegorical character (London).

(LOND5.xml)

Castle Lane, also known as Queen’s Colledge Yard, ran south out of the Duke’s Wardrobe and was located in Castle Baynard Ward (Harben, Queen’s Colledge Yard). According to Stow, the lane was next to Puddle Wharf and situated between Blackfriars and the Thames (Stow 1633, sig. 2M5r). Castle Lane also housed King’s College Mansion (Stow 1633, sig. 2M5r; Harben, Queen’s Colledge Yard). Agas coordinates are based on the location information provided by both Harben and Stow.

The Julian calendar, in use in the British Empire until September 1752. This calendar is used for dates where the date of the beginning of the year is ambigious.

The Julian calendar with the calendar year regularized to beginning on 1 January.

The Julian calendar with the calendar year beginning on 25 March. This was the calendar used in the British Empire until September 1752.

The Gregorian calendar, used in the British Empire from September 1752. Sometimes referred to as New Style (NS). Years run from January 1 through December 31.

The Anno Mundi (year of the world) calendar is based on the supposed date of the creation of the world, which is calculated from Biblical sources. At least two different creation dates are in common use. See Anno Mundi (Wikipedia).

Regnal dates are given as the number of years into the reign of a particular monarch. Our practice is to tag such dates with calendar=regnal, and provide an equivalent date using a more systematic calendar (usually Julian) in a custom dating attribute.

MoEML ODNB Wikipedia

Most MoEML documents, or significant fragments with xml:id attributes, can be addressed using the mol: prefix and accessed through the web application with their id + .xml.

The molagas prefix points to the shape representation of a location on MoEML’s OpenLayers3-based rendering of the Agas Map.

Links to page-images in the Chadwyck-Healey Early English Books Online (EEBO) repository. Note that this is a subscription service, and may not be accessible to those accessing it from locations outside member institutions.

Links to page-images in the English Broadside Ballad Archive (EBBA).

The mdt (MoEML Document Type) prefix used on catRef/target points to a central taxonomy in the includes file.

The mdtlist (MoEML Document Type listing) prefix used in linking attributes points to a listings page constructed from a category in the central MDT taxonomy in the includes file. There are two variants, one with the plain xml:id of the category, meaning all documents in the specified category, and one with the suffix _subcategories, meaning all subcategories of the category.

The molgls (MoEML gloss) prefix used on term/corresp points to a a glossary entry in the GLOSS1.xml file.

This molvariant prefix is used on ref/target attributes during automated generation of gazetteer index files. It points to an element in the generated variant spellings listing file which lists all documents which contain a particular spelling variant for a location.

This molajax prefix is used on ref/target attributes during the static build process, to specify links which point to MoEML resources which should not be loaded into the source page during standalone processing; instead, these should be turned into links to the XML source documents, and at HTML page load time, these should be turned into AJAX calls. This is to handle the scenario in which a page such as an A-Z index of the whole site would end up containing virtually the whole site inside itself.

The molstow prefix is used on facs attributes to link to the HCMC verison of the Stow facsimiles. Usually the first group is the year (1633) and then last is the image number (0001).

The molshows prefix is used on facs attributes to link to the copies of page-images from mayoral shows stored in the london account on the HCMC server. The first group is the year (1633), the second is the source repository, and then last is the image file name.

The sb prefix is used on ref/target attributes to link to Stow’s Books URLs at UToronto.

Our editorial and encoding practices are documented in detail in the Praxis section of our website.

Author A person or organization chiefly responsible for the intellectual or artistic content of a work, usually printed text. This term may also be used when more than one person or body bears such responsibility.

Project director A person or organization with primary responsibility for all essential aspects of a project, or that manages a very large project that demands senior level responsibility, or that has overall responsibility for managing projects, or provides overall direction to a project manager. MoEML’s Project Director directs the intellectual and scholarly aspects of the project, consults with the Advisory and Editorial Boards, and ensures the ongoing funding of the project. Programmer A person or organization responsible for the creation and/or maintenance of computer program design documents, source code, and machine-executable digital files and supporting documentation. MoEML uses the term programmer to designate a person or organization responsible for the creation and/or maintenance of computer program design documents, source code, and machine-executable digital files and supporting documentation. Researcher A person or organization responsible for performing research. MoEML uses the term researcher to designate any person who has contributed substantive research to an article or project. Encyclopedia pages will usually have a researcher. Proofed and changed file status to stub. Removed old geo coordinates now superceded by GeoJSON. Created location file. Added content, abstract, and Agas coordinates. Castle Lane
Castle Lane Castle Lane

Castle Lane, also known as Queen’s Colledge Yard, ran south out of the Duke’s Wardrobe and was located in Castle Baynard Ward (Harben, Queen’s Colledge Yard). According to Stow, the lane was next to Puddle Wharf and situated between Blackfriars and the Thames (Stow 1633, sig. 2M5r). Castle Lane also housed King’s College Mansion (Stow 1633, sig. 2M5r; Harben, Queen’s Colledge Yard). Agas coordinates are based on the location information provided by both Harben and Stow.

Castle Lane’s site in modern London is occupied by St. Andrew’s Wharf (Harben, Queen’s Colledge Yard).
