Notes

An earlier entry (p 7) for the same event calls the performers 'game-players' and does not name their patron. Besides the payment and amount gathered, it itemises 2 d. for 'perfume spent in the Council Chamber for to avoid the strong savour there by reason of a chimney in the prison whereof the soot was burnt' and 2 d. for 'preparing a stage'
