King Henry orders some new clothes.
Andrew Windsor (?1474-1543) succeeded to the office of Keeper of the Great Wardrobe in 1506 during the reign of Henry VII, and, working closely with the Master of Revels, saw to it that the new King and his retinue were luxuriously outfitted for every occasion. The young King Henry VIII was well-known for his lavish spending on clothing. Windsor accumulated land and offices during his service, and continued in the office until his death.
In the present document, the King charges his Keeper to receive Thomas d'Armynau, gentleman, and William Kelt, yeoman, who will be delivering an assortment of cloth with instructions on what is to be made from it.
