Volume 163:
Estate Accounts of the Earl of Northumberland 1562-1637
1611: The accountant of Robert Delevale, esq, particular Receiver of the Rt.
Hon. Henry Earl of NU in the County of NU from Michaelmas in the 8th year if the
reign if King James 1 to Michaelmas in the 9th year of same.
A long detailed list of items follows, including wages, mill rents, etc.(..must
have had good accountants in those days) and lastly at the end there is a
subheading entitled Lawsuits: "paid to the Sheriff of NU for breaking open 4
writs against Albany Featherston, Ed Charlton and others, to the Sheriff's clerk
for writs 1. 1s.
Account of Antony Felton 1591, accountant to Henry, Earl of NU
Foreign Receipts, Alexander Featherston, Late Sheriff, for creation money = 20
pounds.
Then starting in 1592 there is an entry as follows: Account owed charged to
Alexander FH, late Sheriff for creation money 20 pounds
In 1592 and 1594 the accountant was Roger Thorpe, same same entry.
1595 and 1596 Accountant was Thomas Power, same entry
1598 was the same entry, except the Accountant was Antony Felton
1605 the accountant was Thomas Percy and the king was James I and there was the
same entry which indicated that his 20 pounds was stilled owed, due in the 33rd
year of Elizabeth's reign.
1606 and 1607: Accountant was Wm Wickcliffe and Robert Delavale and same Earl.
1608 was missing but then in 1609 there was no mention of Alexander owing money.
I found these accounts quite fascinating and am quite surprised that debts
were carried over from one ruler to the next. They were all quite detailed and
made for interesting reading. The word dimissory means (according to the Oxford
Dictionary) " ordering or permitting to depart,or granting permission for a
candidate to be ordained outside the bishop's own see"
Looking up an alternative meaning for creation, I found that it can also mean
the act of investing with title or rank.

Section 11 p. 14: Emergency Administration
"....Also spec. interest is the request of Thomas de FH in completing the

erect a 'pele' for 100 pounds, a bargain apparently of which Thomas repented as
timber, stone and essentials were hard to carry to the site since the term of hi
commission was running out. The dating of this petition is rendered diff.,
because although the Close Fine Rolls show that Thomas had custody of Staward in
1327, at which period he was also keeper for Edward III of N. Tynsdale, a memo
date 1316 of captains indentured to garrum northern castle notes that Antony de
