1 jan 1498 ano - abills

Descrição:

In 1498 Robert Calverley made several bequests to a priest who was to ‘sing’ for him in Calverley church. Among them were two sums of money, his <i>dayly bedes</i> or rosary, and <i>a blake gown lined with fustian in abills</i> (SS53/158). I have no doubt that this was ‘fustian of Naples’, apparently a kind of cotton velvet first referred to in 1465 (OED).
