W. Loke, ‘Account of materials furnished for the use of Anne Boleyn and Princess Elizabeth, 1535-6’, in

Ballads from Manuscripts
, ed. F. J. Furnivall (Ballad Society, 1868-72), i.373-401, from BL, Royal MS 18A 1xiv, ff. 1-16. This purports to be a copy of verses posted up or spoken during the course of the pageants, but the first two at least (by Leland on the river pageant and Anne’s litter) and Leland’s final piece on the coronation are probably additions, perhaps to prepare a presentation text to Anne. Omitting the 65 lines in these sections (35 plus 15 plus 12, all in Latin), Leland contributed 138 lines of Latin, Udall 310 lines of Latin, 221 of English. The source for the non-Udall/Leland material is Hall,

Kipling, in
Civic Ritual,
p. 77 n.56, this conclusion is not vitiated by the appearance of the falcon device in the illumined letters patent [BL, Harleian MS 303], granting the Pembroke title. The MS includes Anne’s post-marital patents.

Anne’s shield of arms was changed from quarterly 1 Ormonde; 2 Brotherton; 3 Rochford; 4 Warenne, to 1 Lancaster; 2 Angoulême; 3 Guienne; 4 quarterly Ormonde and Rochford; 5 Brotherton; 6 Warenne.

The imperial [i.e. closed] crown was used long before the Act of Appeals [cf. C. E. Challis,

Gospel of Luke, chapter 1, verse 35. Advantage was not taken of the coincidence of the coronation and the feast of Pentecost to exploit the descent of the Holy Spirit on Mary and the apostles: Acts of the Apostles, chapter 2, verses 1-4; see below, n.21.

It was also proposed for Jane Seymour’s pageant.

The above follows John Stow [
Survey of London,
ed. C. L. Kingsford (Oxford, 1908), ii.41] in treating the Fleet Street Conduit and the Fleet Street Standard as a single installation. Wynkyn de Worde,
The noble tryumphant coronacyon
, p. 17, implies that the Standard was specially built of stone for the occasion. Hall, p. 802, refers only to the Conduit.

The Revelation of St John, chapter 21, verses 11, 18. A tower representing the heavenly Jerusalem was a standard feature in London entries, most recently for Charles V in 1522; Kipling in
Civic Ritual,
pp. 52-3. Jasper green was the traditional colour. When
The noble tryumphant coronacyon,
describes the exterior as ‘gilt and azure’ a blue-green is presumably intended.

Somewhat harshly, Anglo describes the humanism as ‘superficial’: ‘a self-conscious Latinity and a thin veneer of commonplace literary allusions covering what is, for the most part, a dull, trite and lamentably repetitious pageant series’: ibid., p. 248.

Rowlands,
Holbein
, p. 88, argues that the bird was a falcon, but this seems iconographically extraneous. For the suggestion of an identification between Apollo and Henry VIII see D. Cressy, ‘Spectacle and power’, in

The Grace Thalia is not to be confused with the Muse Thalia; see above, p. 225.

At the entry of Francis I’s second queen, Eleanor, into the city of Rouen in 1532, she was accompanied by the chariots of Mercury (drawn by serpents), Juno (drawn by peacocks) and Pallas Athene (drawn by the Muses and escorted by Apollo) [Chartrou,
Les Entrées solennelles
, pp. 82-3]. There is no evidence to suggest any link between Anne and Eleanor’s entries, apart from the closeness of the dates.
