Van Dyck


£100 for special service (22 February 1621)

Abstract

Exchequer of Receipts, Order Books 1620 – 1621: Order to pay Van Dyck £100 for special service to King James, dated 22nd February 1621, signed by the Chancellor Fulke Greville Lord Brooke, and Henry Mandeville. The nature of this service remains uncertain, but it has been convincingly argued by Fiorenza Rangoni[1] that this service related to the secret negotations for the marriage of the Prince of Wales to the Infanta Maria Anna of Spain.
