Brierley, near Barnsley, were concerned in the king's capture, and each
received one hundred marks reward; but the fact of Sir Thomas Talbot
being the chief actor, is shown by his having received the larger reward
of 100£. Further particulars respecting these and other parties
concerned, will be found in the notes to Warksworth's _Chronicle_. The
chief residence of the unhappy monarch during his retreat was at Bolton
Hall, where his boots, his gloves, and a spoon, are still preserved, and
are engraved in Whitaker's _Craven_. An interior view of the ancient
hall at Bolton, which is still remaining, is engraved in the
_Gentleman's Magazine_ for May, 1841. Sir Ralph Pudsay, of Bolton, had
married Margaret, daughter of Sir Thomas Tunstal, who attended the king
as esquire of the body.
