Viewing Event Record: John Devell barely passes his fencing provost's prize at the Theatre

Abstract

John Devell played a challenge at the Theatre in Holywell against all provosts and free scholars at three weapons: the long sword, the sword and buckler, and the sword and dagger. He played against provosts Thomas Pratt, Robert Blisse and Andrew Bello, and free scholars Valentine Longe, John Harris, William Otte, and George Mucklow. Devell was not admitted provost at that time 'for his disorder.' On 10 August, he was admitted under William Joyner 'by the goodwills of the maysters.'
