Then liu’d that graue and worthie man,
That Londons

By title of the Maioralty,
A high and famous dignity:
Henrie
Fitz-Alwine was his name,
Noble by birth, and of much fame.
Whoſe ſubſtance though his graue hath kept,
Foure hundred yeares, where he hath ſlept:
Yet is his ſhadowe raiſde in me,
To grace this daies ſolemnitie.
For he being firſt that held the ſway
Of Maior in London, iuſtly may
Challenge (by right) prioritie,
In honouring his owne Companie,
With all that ſacred Poeſie can
Deuiſe, to grace ſo good a man,

To rancke in that rich rowle of fame:

Made choice of Bayliffes, men thought fit

And right all cauſes of contention:

Yet all this could not pleaſe the king,
In two mens rule grew varying,
By leaning to what part each liſted,
So might by might was ſtill reſiſted.
Wrongs vnredreſt, offences flowing,
Garboyles & grudges each where growing.
Therefore as God had giuen him place,
Solely to rule, and iudge each caſe,
So would he plant a deputie,
To figure his authoritie,
In the true forme of Monarchie,
Then which, no better ſoueraigntie.

Draper’s Hall was a livery company hall on the north side of Throgmorton Street in Broad Street Ward. On the Agas map, Drapers’ Hall appears as a large house with three round towers, thus resembling the architecture of Hampton Court Palace and some of the college gates at Oxford and Cambridge Universities.

Stow notes that Queen Matilda established the Priory in 1108in the parishes of Saint Marie Magdalen, S. Michael, S. Katherine, and the blessed Trinitie, which now was made but one Parish of the holy Trinitie
(Stow). Before Matilda united these parishes under the name Holy Trinity Priory, they were collectively known as the Holy Cross or Holy Roode parish (Stow; Harben).Holy Trinity Priory is mentioned in the following documents:

Aldgate
Aldgate was the easternmost gate into the walled city. The nameAldgate

(Bebbington 20–21).Aldgate is mentioned in the following documents:

Duke’s Place was the residence of Sir Thomas Audley, to whom it was given by Herny VIII after the priory’s dissolution (Stow 1598, sig. H5v). A church, St. James Duke’s Place, was later added to the site during the reign of James I. The buildings on the site were destroyed in the Great Fire and then rebuilt (Sugden 281).Duke’s Place is mentioned in the following documents:

St. Paul’s Cathedral
St. Paul’s Cathedral was—and remains—an important church in London. In 962, while London was occupied by the Danes, St. Paul’s monastery was burnt and raised anew. The church survived the Norman conquest of 1066, but in 1087 it was burnt again. An ambitious Bishop named Maurice took the opportunity to build a new St. Paul’s, even petitioning the king to offer a piece of land belonging to one of his castles (Times 115). The building Maurice initiated would become the cathedral of St. Paul’s which survived until the Great Fire of London.St. Paul’s Cathedral is mentioned in the following documents:

The latter Laurence Lane, to which this page refers, held great importance in the procession of mayoral pageants. It ran north-south, connecting Cheapside at the south and Cateaton Street (labelled on the Agas map asKetton St.
) in the north. It ran parallel between Milk Street to the west and Ironmonger Lane to the east. It is drawn correctly on the Agas map and is labelled asS. Laurence lane.
St. Laurence Lane (Guildhall) is mentioned in the following documents:
