Aleyn Thomas, 81, 124, 188, 203.
From the entry, in p. 124, it would appear that this individual was
a tradesman.

Almayne, to a gentleman of, 178.
Alvard Thomas, 96, 116, 199, 228, 231.
This appears to be the same person who is sometimes called
Thomas Alford. See _Alford_. He is supposed by Mr. Ellis to have
been keeper of Cardinal Wolsey's wardrobe, and which opinion is
confirmed by the entry in p. 116. A very interesting letter from
him to Cromwell in 1529, detailing the particulars of the last
interview between Wolsey and the king, has been printed by Mr.
Ellis, and also by Mr. Singer. If the conjecture be correct that he
was the individual who is noticed in other parts of the book by the
name of Alvord and Alford, it is manifest that after the Cardinal's
decease he held an office of trust under the king.
Amadas Master Robert, 97, 104, _bis_, 188.
Apparently a jeweller.
Ambassador, the Pope's, 9.
Ambassador, to a doctor, being nephew to the bishop, who was
ambassador here, 49.
From the manner in which this payment is mentioned it may be
inferred that it was a gratuity to the individual, in consequence
of his relationship to the ambassador.
Ambassadors, paid for the rent of a house intended for them, 74.
The king being then, September 25, 1530, at Waltham Abbey, a house
was engaged for the use of some ambassadors who were to have had an
audience there, but they evidently did not occupy it.
Ambassadors, to servants of, 104, 106, 135.
Ambassador of France, 106.
Ambassadors of Hungary, for the expenses of the, 160.
The only embassy from Hungary noticed by Hall was in March 1527,
when the Count of Ottonbrough, John Burgrave, and others had an
audience of the King at Greenwich. After which, that Chronicler
says, "they were well cherished and diverse tymes resorted to the
courte and had greate chere and good rewardes, and so the 3rd. of
Maie next ensuying they toke their leave and departed homeward."
If this entry related to them, it is evident that they were on one
occasion received by Henry at Grafton.
Ambassador, money paid to the Scotch, 250.
Like the gratuity to the relation of the ambassador, in p. 49, this
appears to have been a present.
Ambreys, eight cupboards, some with _Ambreys_ and some without, 93.
"A cuppborde of waynscote with _ambries_."--_Harl. MSS._ 1419, f.
55. This word is supposed to have meant originally, a little purse
wherein money was put for the poor, and at length was used for any
hutch or close place to keep meat left after meals; a cupboard for
keeping cold victuals.--_Todd's Johnson._ It is evident however
from the manner in which the word is here used that it was part of
a cupboard rather than the cupboard itself, though it might have
been appropriated, as a sort of safe, for the keeping of cold meat.
Mr. Markland suggests that in the present instance "_ambreys_ meant
cupboards within cupboards, or places of more secure concealment."
