Excerpt from Historia Regis Henrici Septimi, a Bernardo Andrea Tholosate Conscripta: Necnon Alia Quædam Ad Eundem Regem SpectantiaNor was Bernard neglected at court, for it appears from the privy purse expenses of Henry VII. That donations of money were made to him on various occasions, 2 probably on the presentation of his several effusions. Whether Henry was a real admirer of lite ratu re, or only a rewarder of compliments, he showed himself no illiberal patron to the poets who presented themselves before him.3 In 1506 he gave André the sum of 100 shillings. As a new year's gift, and the present was repeated every new year's day, both by Henry and his successor, till at least as late as the year 1 521. Doubtless it was continued till his death, what ever may have been the date of that event, but the books are not extant by which we might trace it later down. In the entries of these payments which still remain he is called Master Barnard the blind poet.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
