- Title:
- Lincolnshire jointure of Queen Jane Seymour
- Scope & Content:
-
Roll listing part of the jointure of Queen Jane Seymour (b. 1509, d. 1537), being the money and lands given to support her financially during her marriage to Henry VIII, who had granted her more than 100 manors.
The roll begins with lands formerly belonging to King John, listing the extent and income of his manors of Stamford, Deeping and Boreholme (Lincolnshire), followed by the possessions of the Guild of Blessed Mary and Corpus Christi and the Guild of the Holy Trinity in Stamford.
The text describes Jane as ‘once queen’ and so must date to after her death in 1537.

Provenance:
The Harley Collection, formed by Robert Harley (b. 1661, d. 1724), 1st earl of Oxford and Mortimer, politician, and Edward Harley (b. 1689, d. 1741), 2nd earl of Oxford and Mortimer, book collector and patron of the arts.
Edward Harley bequeathed the library to his widow, Henrietta Cavendish, née Holles (b. 1694, d. 1755) during her lifetime and thereafter to their daughter, Margaret Cavendish Bentinck (b. 1715, d. 1785), duchess of Portland; the manuscripts were sold by the Countess and the Duchess in 1753 to the nation for £10,000 (a fraction of their contemporary value) under the Act of Parliament that also established the British Museum; the Harley manuscripts form one of the foundation collections of the British Library.
