Того, что будущий король Генрих VIII.
1485-1509



(Henry VIII (28 June 1491 – 28 January 1547): the prayer roll was once owned and used by Prince Henry (later Henry VIII), as evidenced by the inclusion of Henry’s royal badges at the head of the roll. These include two Tudor roses, the Prince of Wales crowned ostrich feather, as well as Katherine of Aragon’s emblem of a sheaf of arrows.William Thomas, a Gentleman of the Privy Chamber (served from 1504): at some point prior to 1509 Henry presented the roll to William Thomas and added an inscription at the top of the second membrane, under the central image of Christ’s Passion: ‘Wylliam thomas I pray yow pray for me your lovyng master Prynce Henry’. Comparison to other samples of Prince Henry's handwriting strongly suggests that this inscription is autograph.Ushaw College, donated to before 1858, by Bernard O'Reilly (1824-1894), Roman Catholic Archbishop of Liverpool (see Littlehales 1891-1892).Purchased by the British Library in March 2010). http://www.bl.uk/manuscripts/FullDisplay.aspx?index=525&ref=Add_MS_88929
