Viewing Event Record: Edward Alleyn is 'Maister of the Beare Garden': Stow (1605)

Abstract

In his 1605 edition of the 'Annals,' John Stow refers to Edward Alleyn as late servant to the Lord Admiral, now sworne the Princes man, and Maister of the Beare Garden.' Collier (Introduction, xi) suggests that this title denotes Alleyn's status as a lessee, rather than an official appointment.
