The Loan Collection, South-Kensington: Pen-case of Henry VI., 1862. Creator: Unknown

The Loan Collection, South-Kensington, 1862. 'The pencase of King Henry VI. This pencase, of leather, or cuir bouilli, ornamented with gilt roses and crowns, was left by King Henry VI. at Waddington Hall, the seat of the Tempests, soon after the disastrous battle of Hexham, in 1463. This relic came into the possession of Mr. Edward Parker, of Brewsholme, by his marriage with Anne Tempest, who brought the estate of Waddington into the family of Parker. His lineal descendant, Mr. Thomas Lister Parker, of Brewsholme, presented this pencilcase to the present possessor. A print of this curious relic has been published by Mr. Shaw, in the second volume of his "Dresses and Decorations of the Middle Ages". The Hon. R. Curzon, jun.'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862
