David Bergeron, "Actors in English Civic Pageants," Renaismnce Papers 1972 (1973), pp. 17-28, has come to similar conclusions about Lord Mayor's shows in the later Renaissance. See also Nicoll, Masks, Mimes, and Miracles, pp. 192-194. 27. See, for example, R.

The leather balls which Pilate, in 23 R. W. Ingram some unknown way, used up in large numbers each year, cost 5d. in 1544 for sixteen made out of two skins of leather; by the seventies the annual cost was 12d. Driving the pageant wagon earned Lewez 6d. 534. The drivers (the journeymen had to provide the eight, ten or twelve men to haul the wagon along) had 8d. to buy them drink for their labour. By 1540 the ten men receive 2d. each and 14d. to buy drink. Their rates rise to 3s. and 4s. and eventually level out (if that is the word) at 6s.

H-P's unnamed company is not the Weavers', Drapers' or Smiths', although his sense suggests he is referring to a Coventry company. "Curten ryngus" are found in the Smiths' accounts: tenterhooks, also for hanging clothes and curtains, are found in all extant Coventry companies' records. A brief discussion (with illustrations) of clothes and curtains on pageantwagons can be found in Wickham, Early English Stages I, 172-174.
