In "Bulletin of the John Rylands Library", I can see a snippet which lists between January 2nd and 6th (Can't see which year)

Item to the Pleyers of Wymbone Mynystre (Might this be Wimbone, in Dorset?)
Item for pleying of the mourice daunce
Item for clothing mad for Dik the Fole

Clearly, this last one is the same as "Clever Dick, the Fool", found later.

This is probably one of those lists we find of the King's accounts, relating to the expenses of Christmas.
If I had more time, I probably could find out more about it.
