All these Came to Portesmouth and lay there :12: dayes for a wynde °I being then Liftennant Gouernor° (signed) John Oglander
The Oglander family was resident at Nunwell House.
Archibald Armstrong became fool or jester to King James VI of Scotland and followed James' court to England, being given a pension of 2s in 1611 and the monopoly on tobacco pipes in 1618. Armstrong accompanied Prince Charles on the latter's embassy to Spain and several stories exist about 'Archy' from this trip, including one wherein he put his fool's cap on the king's head, saying James was the fool for risking his son in Spain (John Southworth, Fools and Jesters at the English Court (Stroud, Glos, 1998), 141–2, 144, 203 n 21).
Record title: Sir John Oglander's List of Those Who

Prince Charles and the duke of Buckingham (George Villiers, (1592–1628)) travelled to Spain in 1623 to try to reach a final agreement on the long anticipated match between Charles and the Spanish Infanta. Charles was in Spain from February to October, but ultimately the agreement fell apart. Sir John Oglander, who was deputy governor of Portsmouth at this time, made a list of the entire party that was sent some time later to attend on Charles in Madrid.
