The records of the early Tudor Great Wardrobe are important for two reasons. They show how kings and their courtiers dressed, at a time when social rank, political power and familiarity with foreign fashion were readily displayed in clothing. They also show where the most discriminating buyer in the kingdom went to buy luxurious materials and commission high-quality services, and thus shed light on the economy of London, above all the textile, fur and tailoring trades. They have been essential to Maria Hayward’s skilful reconstruction in her earlier publications of the world of dress at the courts of Henry VII and Henry VIII and in sixteenth-century society more generally. In the present volume she provides an edition of accounts for the years 1498–9, 1510–11 and 1543–4. These illustrate different parts of the period, under Henry VII, the young Henry VIII and his older self. They were produced by three successive keepers of the Great Wardrobe: Sir Robert Lytton (1493–1505), Sir Andrew Windsor (1505–43), and Sir Ralph Sadler (1543–53). While the first two are standard annual accounts, the third is a special account of the provisions made for the king’s invasion of France. But what they all have in common is that, unlike the particular accounts for other years, they were composed in English and can thus be reproduced here in their original wording, though modernised in spelling. Appendices list all the recipients of clothing from the Great Wardrobe for the reigns of Henry VII and Henry VIII noted in the Great Wardrobe accounts, warrants and inventories extant at The National Archives and in some other repositories. For the introductory analysis of suppliers of goods and services, various other relevant accounts, such as those of the King’s Chamber and those for coronations and royal funerals, are added in. The volume’s sweep is thus broad, but not quite comprehensive, for it does not consider the particulars of account in English for 1511–12 in British Library Egerton MS 3025, nor a number of warrants, scattered when part of the Great Wardrobe records left royal custody, sought out by autograph collectors for their royal signatures, and now in various British and American libraries.
