A Very Royal Affair

King Henry VIII and his Queen, Catherine Howard, set off on a Royal Progress to the North to meet King James V of Scotland, his nephew, at York.

By the 9th August they were at Sleaford, holding a meeting probably at the castle and they continued their journey to Lincoln, stopping at Temple Bruer Preceptory:  It is not recorded whether the stayed overnight in Sleaford or Temple Bruer.  Temple Bruer was dissolved about 1541 and granted to the Duke of Suffolk, who was part of the royal entourage.

The King's visit was recorded in the Corporation Registers:

1541, 30 July. All who take horses to meet the King shall be in their best apparel, and they shall have horses and no mares. f. 286b.

1541, 9 Aug.—"The cummynge of the Kyng to this citie." The King and Queen came about 4 o'cl., and the Mayor, Recorder and his brethren met him at the farthest part of the liberties, with the gentlemen of the parts of Lindsey, and there they kneeled before the King, and the Recorder made a proposition, and after the proposition so made the Mayor kissed the mace and delivered it to the King, and immediately the King delivered it to him again, and the Mayor on horseback alone did bear the same mace before the King and afore the Lord Hastings then bearing the sword, and other bearing the King's maces, unto such time as the King entered to the Bishop's palace at Lincoln.

To the King our sovereign lord. Please it your most excellent highness, that the mayor, his brethren, and inhabitants of your city of Lincoln, do present your highness towards your grace's welcome into this your city with this present following:

First, in fat oxen 20, price 20l.

Item, in fat muttons 100, price 30l.

To the Queen's grace. Please it your grace that the mayoress and her sisters, 'aldresses' of your city of Lincoln, do present your grace towards your welcome into this your city with this present following:--

First, in pikes, 11 price 7l."
Item, breams, 8
Item, tenches, 6
