Viewing Event Record: Ralph Bowes (not John Dorington) is appointed Master of the Queen's Game

Abstract

Ralph Bowes is appointed Master of the Queen's Game, which responsibilities include 'all and singular our game, pastimes and sports, that is to say of all and every our bears, bulls and mastiff dogs, meet for the purpose.' Collier forges the document to make it look as though this is Sir John Dorington's appointment.
