Low Meaning Of The Gardiner Name


Henry VIII they were still looked upon with an eye of respect as may be collected from Dr Turner who abashed Bishop Gardiner on account of the low meaning of his name. But to comfort the Bishop he found an Advocate (The King) who after deep researches declared that his patron's name was not Gardner as the English pronounced it, but Gardiner with the French Accent and therefore a Gentleman. And not long after this an Act was passed and amended by Edward VI and Mary I in the latter of whose reign after reciting. 

"that of late the people had been very bold in feigning imagining inventing and publishing fond and fantastical prophecies by reason of the names of people in order to make rebellion. It was enacted that for the future the first offence should be Imprisonment for a year and Forfeiture of 10 and the second offence Imprisonment for Life and Forfeiture of Goods." ^
