Master of the Hawks
text:
The office of Master of the Hawks was created on the English Restoration in 1660. During Charles II's reign, the Master's salary was £390 per annum; in William III's reign, it was increased to £1500. The office was abolished on the accession of Anne in 1702 and the master, the Duke of St Albans, was granted a perpetual pension payable to his heirs. The pension was finally commuted in 1891 by the payment of a lump sum of some £18,000.
