Impressment
First instance in 1420 when Henry V who on Jan. 14, 1420 issued a com- mission for this pu ose. Twenty years later Henry VI, on July 12, 1440, issued a commission to Master John Croucher 1), Dean of the Chapel of the Household, "to take throughout England such and as many boys as he or his deputies shall see to be fit and able to serve God and the King in the said royal chapel" second year of the reign of Richard III, on September 16, 1484, a com- mission was issued to John Melynek, gentleman of the Chapel Royal, to impress men and boys for the King's Chapel. Under this commission, Melynek was empowered "to take and seize for the King all such singing men, ex- pert in the science of music, as he could find and think able to do the King's service, within all places of the realm, as well in cathedral churches, colleges, chapels, houses of religion, and all other franchised or exempt places, or elsewhere"

The chapel remained stable throughout the reign of Henry VIII and the Dissolution of the Monasteries. The chapel travelled with the King to the Field of the Cloth of Gold, and on the second invasion of France.

In 1526 not long after William Crane had succeded Cornysh as M, the number of chidlren was increased from ten to tweleve. "six of the Children and six Gentlemen of the chapel shall give their continual attendence in the King's Court, and daily to hear a Mass of Our Lady before noon and on SUndays and Holy Days Mass of the day besdies Our Lady Mass and an Anthem in the afternoon."

Drama
In the Tudor period, the chapel increasingly took on another, unoffical, function that would gain in significance into the 17th century - that of performing in dramas. Both the gentlemen and children would act in pageants and plays for the royal family, held on feast days such as Christmas.

In Christmas 1514 the play "The Triumph of Love and Beauty" the written and presented by Master Cornish and others of the Chapel of our sovereign lord the King, and the children of the chapel".

Even in her Majesties chappel do these pretty, upstart youthes profane the Lord's day by the lascivious writhing of their tender limbs, and gorgeous decking of their apparell, in feigning bawdie fables gathered from the idolatrous heathen poets.

The chapel achieved its greatest eminence during the reign of Elizabeth I, when William Byrd and Thomas Tallis were joint organists. The Master of the Children of the Chapel Royal had, until at least 1684, the power to impress promising boy trebles from provincial choirs for service in the chapel. The theatre company affiliated with the chapel, known as the Children of the Chapel Royal, produced plays at court and then commercially until the 1620s by playwrights including John Lyly, Ben Jonson and George Chapman. The English Chapel Royal became increasingly associated with Westminster Abbey, so that by 1625 over half of the Gentlemen of the English Chapel Royal were also members of the Westminster Abbey choir.
