Viewing Event Record: Chancery, John Henslowe vs Edward Alleyn et al: Mr Moore reports on John Henslowe's claim

Abstract

Following Philip Henslowe's death, his nephew John Henslowe charges Edward Alleyn, Agnes Henslowe, and Roger Cole[s] with having suppressed a former will, and with the criminal misrepresentation of his uncle Henslowe's estate. The Chancery suit provides valuable details concerning Henslowe's property in Surrey. On 26 January, Mr Moore -- one of the Masters of the Court -- reports that Agnes Henslowe had indeed conveyed four other leases to 'trusted parties,' and that in his opinion, Alleyn himself had 'cunningly [sought] to retayne in his handes the principall leases & writinges belonging to thestate of the said Henslowe.'
