To Entertain a King: Music for James and Henry at the Merchant Taylors Feast of 1607

Ross W. Duffin

On 16 July 1607 King James and his elder son, Prince Henry, were feasted and entertained by the Merchant Taylors Company at their Hall in Threadneedle Street in London. The event is documented in two contemporary descriptions as well as in the account books of the company. Identification of We be three poor mariners, a ‘freemens song’ from Ravenscroft's Deuteromelia (1609), as likely to have been performed at the event leads to a reconsideration of the entangled terms ‘freemens’ and ‘threemens’ songs and of the background to music-making in the City of London in the early seventeenth century.
