About the book >.>.> In The Late King’s Goods scholarly assessments are made of this unique archive of descriptions and valuations ranging from the contents of the royal jewel houses to the kitchens. The regalia of the monarchy and of the major orders of chivalry are reviewed and placed in context. Here are details of the sumptuous hangings and furnishings that formed the setting for the daily life of the King and his courtiers the artworks that delighted their eyes and the instruments that charmed their ears. Intermingled with descriptions of the plate that gleamed on the royal table are accounts of equipment from the bakeries and brewhouses that sustained the household. Here is the rich clothing to which the Puritans took so much offence and the arms and armour that failed to avert the retribution they called down on the King. (OS)
