John of Worcester. 10 Apr 1058. Six days before Palm-Sunday [10th April], the city of Paderborn, and two monasteries, that of the cathedral and that of the monks, were destroyed by fire. In the monks' monastery there was a Scottish monk named Paternus, who had been in the cloister for a great number of years, and had foretold this fire; yet such was his desire of martyrdom that nothing could induce him to leave the place, and he was burnt to death in his cell, passing through the flames to the cool refreshment of paradise. Some blessed things are related concerning his tomb. "Within a few days after this occurrence, on the Tuesday after the octave of Easter [26th of April], as I was departing from Cologne on the road to Fulda in company with the abbot of Fulda, for the sake of seclusion, prayed on the very mat on which he was burnt." Thus saith Marianus, the Scottish recluse.

Florence of Worcester. 10 Apr 1138. A council at Northampton. Stephen, king of England, held a council at Northampton, in the octave of Easter, which fell on the fourth of the ides [the 10th] of April. Ralph, archbishop of Canterbury, archbishop of York, and all the bishops, abbots, earls, barons, and nobles of England took their seats at it. In this council an archdeacon named Robert, the choice of some few, was appointed bishop of the church of Exeter, then vacant by the death of its bishop, William de Warewast. Two abbeys were also given away; that of Winchcombe to a monk of Cluni, as it is said a relation of the king, named Robert; the other, that of York, to a monk of the same abbey. One of these, the abbot-elect of Winchcombe, was ordained abbot of that monastery by the venerable Simon, bishop of Worcester, on the eleventh of the calends of June (22nd May).

Warkworth's Chronicle 1471. 10 Apr 1471. Kyng Herry thenne was in Londone, and the ArcheBishop of Yorke, withein the Bysschoppys of Londone palece. And on the wennysday next before Ester-day, Kynge Herry and the Archebysschoppe of Yorke with hym roode aboute Londone, and desirede the peple to be trew unto hym; and every manne seide they wulde. never the latter, Urswyke, recordere of Londone, and diverse aldermen, suche that hade reule of the cyte, commaundede alle the peple that were in harnes, kepynge the cite and Kynge Herry, every manne to goo home to dynere; and in dyner tyme Kynge Edwarde was late in¹, and so went forthe to the Bisshoppes of Londone palece, and ther toke Kynge Herry and the Archebisschoppe of Yorke, and put theme in warde, the thursday next before Ester-day.

Note 1. And in dyner tyme Kynge Edwarde was late in. Edward was admitted into London on the 11th of April. The Archbishop suffered himself to be taken at the same time, but was released in two days afterwards, and obtained full pardon. There is one remarkable circumstance in this pardon; it remits all crimes before April the 13th, and yet is dated April the 10th, the day probably on which the Archbishop agreed with Edward to admit him into the city. See Carte's History of England, book 13, p. 787, n., and Fœdera, XI. 709. Warkworth remarks very strongly upon his conduct at p. 26 of his Chronicle. Cf. MS. Bib. Coll. Trin. Oxon. 62 (10).

Diary of Edward VI. 10 Apr 1550. Lodres being besieged of the Scotis, the captain, hering that the peax was proclaimed in England, deliverid it as the peax did will him, taking sureties that al the bargaines of the peax shuld be kept.

Diary of Edward VI. 10 Apr 1550. My lord Som(erset) taken into the counsel.⁴ Guidotti⁵, the beginner of the talk for peax, recompensed with knightdom, a thousand crounes reward, a 1000 crounes pension, and his son with 250 crounes pencion. Certen prisoners for light maters dismissed. Agreed for delivery of French prisoners taken in the warris. Petre Van sent embassadour to Venice.' Lettres directed to certein Irish nobles to take a blind legat coming from the pope, calling himself bishop of Arcman.^ Commissions for the delivery of Boulein, Lodres, and Dunglas.

Note 4. "The 8 of April, the duke of Somerset came to the court to the King's majesty at Greenwich, where he was honourably received of the King and his councell, and dined with the King, and was swome of the privy councell." Stowe.

Note 5. Letters of protection granted to Guidotti for two years from the 30th May, 1549, are printed in Rymer's Foedera, &c. vol. xv. p. 185. He is styled therein Anthony Guidotti, merchant of Florence and of the town of Southampton. On the 17th April, 1550, a yearly pension of 250l. was granted to him, under the name of sir Anthony Guidotti, and another of 37l. 10s. to his son John Guidotti esquire. Ibid. pp. 227, 228. (These two last letters patent bear Teste Rege apud Lieghes; but it may be remarked that they do not show that the King was there in person, but only that the lord chancellor (age 53) had then the great seal at his country mansion — Leez [Map] in Essex.) On the 1st of April the council issued "a warrant to (blank) for xlviij li. to mr. Perrot for a flaggon chaine bought of him to be bestowed upon Anthony Guydott at the time of the order of knighthood given unto him."

Letters and Papers 1533. 10 Apr 1553. 324. Last Sunday, being Palm Sunday, the King made the bishop of Rochester prisoner, and put him under the charge of the bishop of Winchester; which is a very strange thing, as he is the most holy and learned prelate in Christendom. The King gave out in Parliament that this was done because he had insinuated that Rochford had gone to France with a commission to present an innumerable sum of money to the chancellor of France and the cardinal of Lorraine to persuade the Pope by a bribe to ratify this new marriage, or at all events to overlook it, and not proceed further; which the King thought his Holiness would naturally do, seeing that the matter was already settled. I think that Rochford must have had this among his other charges. Not to spoil their negotiations with the Pope for that which they were soliciting in these Estates, he begged the Nuncio, by the duke of Norfolk, not to write on these matters to his Holiness. The real cause of the Bishop's detention is his manly defence of the Queen's cause. You may learn by it the gross disorder of affairs here, and the obstinacy of this King, who seems to seek for nothing else except his own perdition. Whenever they speak to him of the inconveniences likely to arise, he says that whilst England is united, it is not conquerable by any foreign prince; but it seems to me he is doing all he can to disgust his people.

You cannot imagine the fear into which all these people have fallen, great and small, imagining they are undone; and even if they do not suffer from foreign, they will from civil war. But though their fear be great, their indignation is still greater, except with ten or twelve who hang about the Lady; so that they are willing to incur great losses, if your Majesty would send an army and root out the poison of the Lady and her adherents.

Letters and Papers 1533. 10 Apr 1553. 324. It is very true, that if the Princess were not in such danger as I have said, and that if the people here did not see you take up this affair a little warmly, they would lose heart and affection; so it would be better to temporise a little, only not allowing them to traffick with your subjects. And, further, in that it appears that there might be some danger that the king of France might make some stir, I think that your Majesty would do well not to allow the English merchants in your realm to be ill treated, for they would be instruments of augmenting the good will of this people.

I understand that the King intends to forbid any one speaking publicly or privately in favor of the Queen; and he will then proceed further, if God and your Majesty do not remedy it. Pray, pardon me, if I thus speak out of compassion for the Queen and the Princess.

The Nuncio has returned from Scotland, and says that the Scots being required by the English will condescend to the conditions they have required since the commencement; and that they are also ready for war. Albany's secretary is here. The German of whom I spoke to you has been despatched with a letter to the Landgrave. The King will not meddle with men-of-war.

The merchants here, seeing the state of affairs, are withdrawing their money. Begs to be furnished with what is necessary. London, 10 April 153[3].

Diary of Anne Clifford 1616. 10 Apr 1616. Upon the 10th we went from Ware to Tottenham where my Lord's (age 27) coach with his men and horses met me and came to London to the lesser Dorset House.

Pepy's Diary. 10 Apr 1662. Thence to the office all the afternoon. My Lord Windsor (age 35) came to us to discourse of his affairs, and to take his leave of us; he being to go Governor of Jamaica with this fleet that is now going. Late at the office. Home with my mind full of business. So to bed.

Pepy's Diary. 10 Apr 1663. Up very betimes and to my office, where most hard at business alone all the morning. At noon to the Exchange [Map], where I hear that after great expectation from Ireland, and long stop of letters, there is good news come, that all is quiett after our great noise of troubles there, though some stir hath been as was reported. Off the Exchange [Map] with Sir J. Cutler (age 60) and Mr. Grant (age 42) to the Royall Oak Tavern, in Lumbard Street, where Alexander Broome the poet was, a merry and witty man, I believe, if he be not a little conceited, and here drank a sort of French wine, called Ho Bryan¹, that hath a good and most particular taste that I never met with.

Note 1. Haut Brion, a claret; one of the first growths of the red wines of Medoc.

Pepy's Diary. 10 Apr 1665. So home and to the 'Change [Map], and thence to the "Old James" to dine with Sir W. Rider, Cutler, and Mr. Deering, upon the business of hemp, and so hence to White Hall to have attended the King (age 34) and Chancellor (age 56) about the debts of the navy and to get some money, but the meeting failed. So my Lord Brunkard (age 45) took me and Sir Thomas Harvy (age 39) in his coach to the Parke, which is very troublesome with the dust; and ne'er a great beauty there to-day but Mrs. Middleton (age 20), and so home to my office, where Mr. Warren proposed my getting of £100 to get him a protection for a ship to go out, which I think I shall do.

Pepy's Diary. 10 Apr 1665. Up, and to the Duke of Albemarle's (age 56), and thence to White Hall to a Committee for Tangier, where new disorder about Mr. Povy's (age 51) accounts, that I think I shall never be settled in my business of Treasurer for him. Here Captain Cooke (age 49) met me, and did seem discontented about my boy Tom's having no time to mind his singing nor lute, which I answered him fully in, that he desired me that I would baste his coate.

Evelyn's Diary. 10 Apr 1666. Visited Sir William D'Oyly (age 52), surprised with a fit of apoplexy, and in extreme danger.

Pepy's Diary. 10 Apr 1667. So home, and Balty (age 27) and I to look Mr. Fenn at Sir G. Carteret's (age 57) office in Broad Streete, and there missing him and at the banker's hard by, we home, and I down by water to Deptford, Kent [Map] Dockyard, and there did a little business, and so home back again all the way reading a little piece I lately bought, called "The Virtuoso, or the Stoicke", proposing many things paradoxical to our common opinions, wherein in some places he speaks well, but generally is but a sorry man.

Pepy's Diary. 10 Apr 1667. So away, and by coach going home saw Sir G. Carteret (age 57) going towards White Hall. So 'light and by water met him, and with him to the King's little chapel; and afterwards to see the King (age 36) heal the King's Evil, wherein no pleasure, I having seen it before; and then to see him and the Queene (age 57) and Duke of York (age 33) and his wife (age 30), at dinner in the Queene's (age 57) lodgings; and so with Sir G. Carteret (age 57) to his lodgings to dinner; where very good company; and after dinner he and I to talk alone how things are managed, and to what ruin we must come if we have not a peace. He did tell me one occasion, how Sir Thomas Allen (age 34), which I took for a man of known courage and service on the King's side, was tried for his life in Prince Rupert's (age 47) fleete, in the late times, for cowardice, and condemned to be hanged, and fled to Jersey; where Sir G. Carteret (age 57) received him, not knowing the reason of his coming thither: and that thereupon Prince Rupert (age 47) wrote to the Queen-Mother (age 57) his dislike of Sir G. Carteret's (age 57) receiving a person that stood condemned; and so Sir G. Carteret (age 57) was forced to bid him betake himself to some other place. This was strange to me.

On 10 Apr 1678 Christopher Hussey (age 79) swore allegiance to King Charles II of England Scotland and Ireland (age 47) (the first to do so) at Hampton, Rockingham County.

Roger Whitley's Diary. 10 Apr 1690.

Pepy's Diary. 10 Apr 1690. This morning many or most of the commanders in the Fleet came on board and dined here, so that some of them and I dined together in the Round-house, where we were very merry. Hither came the Vice-Admiral to us, and sat and talked and seemed a very good-natured man. At night as I was all alone in my cabin, in a melancholy fit playing on my viallin, my Lord and Sir R. Stayner came into the coach and supped there, and called me out to supper with them. After that up to the Lieutenant's cabin, where he and I and Sir Richard sat till 11 o'clock talking, and so to bed. This day my Lord Goring returned from France, and landed at Dover, Kent [Map].

The Rook privateer has brought into Plymouth two ships laden with sugar and cotton, who say they belong to an Emden company trading under the Elector of Brandenburg's patent to Guinea. Though they pretend they send their ships to an island called St. Thomas in the West Indies, belonging to the Danes, which does not produce forty hogsheads of sugar a year, 1t is evident from their papers that the cargoes were purchased at St. Croix, Martinique and other French islands; and a discovery is made that this company, under pretence of trading to St. Thomas, supply all the French islands with provisions and necessaries of war.

Stanton. On the 10th of April, 1852, in company with Mr. Carrington, and Mr. Glover, the Historian of the County of Derby, I walked over a considerable part of Stanton Moor, in order to survey the scene of former discoveries, and to examine the existing remains of Tumuli, Rocking Stones, &c., upon this interesting tract of land. On passing over the brow of the hill, near the Andle Stone [Map], we noticed a small circle [Doll Tor [Map]] of six stones, four of which retained their upright position, whilst two were prostrate, the diameter being about twenty feet; in the interior were a few small pieces of pottery, and some calcined bones that had been scratched up by rabbits, the sight of which caused us to set to work with our pocket-knives, when finding the remains to become more plentiful, we borrowed a hack and spade from the adjoining farm, and cleared a considerable space in the centre of the enclosure, where a grave had been dug for the reception of three or four cinerary urns, and as many "incense cups;" all which had been emptied of their calcined contents, and broken by former diggers, who, however, left the fragments. These having since been joined, as far as possible, afford a tolerable idea of the original shape and ornamentation of the vessels, about which there is a little peculiarity, the outline of the large urns being more straight sided than common in this part of England; they approach the form of a common red garden flower-pot, and are sparingly decorated with the everlasting chevron. Most of the urns of this type hitherto discovered, have been exhumed in the South-West of England, the Deverell Barrow having afforded several specimens.

Ten Years' Digging 1853. On the 10th of April, we examined a mound [Bank Top Barrow [Map]] situated in a small waterless valley near the farm-house at Bank Top, near Hartington, but found that although it had evidently been cast up as a barrow, its contents had been removed at a former period, as we discovered traces of recent excavation in the presence of pieces of earthenware, such as was used in the last century, dispersed throughout the centre. The tumulus was composed of earth and stones, heaped up on the surface of the land to the height of three feet at least. We observed numerous pieces of animal bone, part of a stag's horn, and a few pieces of Romano-British pottery about the natural surface; one of the latter is the circular bottom of a vessel about three inches diameter, which appears to have had the broken edge rubbed down previous to its being buried.

After 10 Apr 1948. Memorial at St Peter's Church, Tawstock [Map] to Reverend Albany Bourchier Sherard Wrey 13th Baronet (deceased).
