Then also were Orders devised for
reliefe of the Poore: the inhabitants
were all called to their Parish Chur-
ches; where, by Sir Richard Dobbes,
then Maior, their severall Aldermen,
or other grave Citizens, they were by
eloquent Orations perswaded, how
great and how many commodities
would ensue unto them and their City,
if the poore of divers sorts, which they
named, were taken from out their
Streets, Lanes, and Allies, and were
bestowed and provided for in Hospi-
tals abroad, &c. Therefore was every
man moved, liberally to grant (what
they would impart) towards the prepa-
ring and furnishing of such Hospitals,
and also, what they would contribute
weekly towards their maintenance for a
time, which (they said) should not bee
past one yeere, or twaine, untill they
were better furnished of Endowment.
To make short, every man granted li-
berally, according to his ability: Books
were drawne of the Reliefe in every
VVard of the City, towards the new
Hospitals, and were delivered by the
Maior to the Kings Commissioners, on
the ſeventeenth of February; and order
was taken therein, so as the ſixe and

On the East side of this Ducke lane,
and also of Smithfield, lieth the late dis-
solved Priory of St. Bartholomew, foun-
ded also by Rahere, a pleasant witted
Gentleman; and therefore in his time
called the Kings Minstrell, about the
yeere of Christ, 1102. He founded it
in a part of the oft before named Moo-
rish ground, which was therefore a
common Lay-stall of all filth, that was
to be voided out of the City. He placed
Canons there; himselfe became their
first Prior, & so continued till his dying
day, and was there buried in a faire Mo-
nument, of late renewed by Prior Bolton.

touching this Priory, one is of an Arch-

Paris hath thus:
Boniface (saith hee) Archbishop of
Canturbury,
Priory; where, being received with Proces-
sion in the most solemne wise, he said, That
hee passed not upon the honour, but came to
visit them; to whom the Canons answered,
That they having a learned Bishop, ought
not, in contempt of him, to be visited by any
other: which answer so much offended the
Archbishop, that hee forthwith fell on the
Sub-Prior, and smote him on the face, say-
ing;
English Traytors so to asswer mee? Thus
raging, with oathes not to bee recited, hee
rent in peeces the rich Cope of the Sub-Pri-
or,
him against a Pillar of the Chancell with
such violence, that hee had almost killed
him. But the Canons seeing their Sub-Prior
thus almost slaine, came and plucked
off the Archbishop with such force, that
they overthrew him backwards; whereby
they might see,
pared to fight. The Archbishops men seeing
their Master downe, being all strangers, and
their Masters Countrimen borne at Pro-
vince,
tare them, and trode them under foot. At
length, the Canons getting away as well as
they could, ran bloudy, miry, rent and torne
to the Bishop of London to complaine, who
bade them goe to the King at Westmin-
ster, and tell him thereof: whereupon foure
of them went thither,
they were so sore hurt. But when they came
to Westminster, the King would neither

This Church having in the Bell-Tower
sixe bels in a tune, those bels
were sold to the Parish of Saint Sepul-
chres, and then the Church being pulled
downe to the Quire, the Quire was by
the Kings order annexed, for the enlar-
ging of the old Parish Church thereto
adjoyning, and so was used till the
reigne of Queene Mary, who gave the
remnant of the Priory Church to the
Friers preachers, or Blacke Friers, and
was used as their Coventuall Church,
untill the first of our Soveraigne Lady
Queene Elizabeth: then those Friers
were put out, and all the said Church,
with the old parish Church, was whol-
ly as it stood, in the last yeere of Ed-
ward the sixth, given by Parliament, to
remaine for ever a parish Church to the
Inhabitants within the Close, called
great Saint Bartholomewes. Since the
which time, the old parish Church is
pulled downe, except the Steeple of
rotten Timber, ready to fall of it selfe.
I have oft heard it reported, that a new
Steeple should bee builded with the
Stone, Lead and Timber of the old pa-
rish Church, but no such thing was
performed. The parish have lately re-
paired the old woodden Steeple, to
serve their turne. On the North side
of this Priory, is the Lane truly called
Long3, which reacheth from Smithfield
to Aldersgate street. This Lane is now
lately builded on both the sides with
Tenements for Brokers, Tiplers, and
such like: the rest of Smithfield from
Long lane end to the Barres, is inclosed
with Innes, Brew-houses, and large Te-
nements; on the VVest side is Chicken
lane, downe to Cowbridge. Then be the

Then is Smithfield Pond,

there, and was a great water. In the
sixth of Henry the fifth, a new building
was made in the VVest part of Smith-

place then called the Elmes, for that
there grew many Elme trees, and this
had been the place of execution for Of-
fenders: since the which time, the buil-

now remaineth not one tree growing.

then came forth 60. Ladies of honour

about the Harts neckes, and so they

The next day they turneyed on horse-

his Chafron a long speare pike of steele,
and as the two Champions coaped to-
gether, the same horse thrust his pike
into the nostrils of the Bastards horse, so
that for very paine, he mounted so high
that he fell on the one side with his Ma-
ster, and the Lord Scales rode about him
with his sword drawne, till the King
commanded the Marshall to helpe up
the Bastard, who said; I cannot hold
by the clouds; for though my horse faile
me, I will not faile an incounter compa-
nion: but the King would not suffer
them to doe any more that day.

The next morrow they came into the

fought valiantly, but at the last the point
of the Pole-Axe of the Lord Scales en-
tred into the side of the Bastards Helm;
and by force might have placed him on
his knees: But the King cast downe his
warder, and the Marshall severed them.
The Bastard required that hee might
performe his enterprise: but the King

extendure, deserved to be much better
respected; it pleased the Kings Majesty,
with the advice of his honourable Lords

ficiently paved, which would bee the
onely meanes, whereby to have it kept

Old Temple and the New: in the which
house, all such Iewes and Infidels as
were converted to the Christian Faith,
were ordained and appointed (under an

short time there were gathered a great
number of Converts, which were bap-

Christ, and there lived under a learned
Christian, appointed to governe them.
Since the which time, to wit, in the

were banished out of the Realme, wher-

was decayed: and therefore in the yeere

that committed it to Ecclesiasticall pro-

Kings pleasure, and thereupon desired

King to doe his pleasure with the goods

Greyfriars
Enduring for over three centuries, longer than any other London friary, Greyfriars garnered support from both England’s landed elite and common Londoners. Founded in 1225 on a tenament donated by London Mercer John Iwyn, Greyfriars housed London’s Franciscan Friars (known in England as the Grey Friars). The friary expanded from its original pittance of land on the west side of Stinking Lane to over four-and-a-half acres by 1354. With the patronage of Queens Margaret, Isabella, and Philippa throughout the fourteenth century, the Franciscans constructed a formidable church, London’s third largest after St. Paul’s and Westminster Abbey. After the friary’s closure in 1538 pursuant to the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the church became the centre of the newly established Christ Church parish, and the cloisters housed Christ’s Hospital (Holder 66–96).Greyfriars is mentioned in the following documents:

We’d also like to acknowledge students who contributed to MoEML’s intranet predecessor at the University of Windsor between 1999 and 2003. When we redeveloped MoEML for the Internet in 2006, we were not able to include all of the student projects that had been written for courses in Shakespeare, Renaissance Drama, and/or Writing Hypertext. Nonetheless, these students contributed materially to the conceptual development of the project.
