Tudor shovilla bourde[edit]

The following material:

Some form of the game may have been the shovilla bourde at which King Henry VIII occasionally lost considerable money to nobles; e.g., the January 1532 privy purse expenses show a Lord William winning £9 from the king at the game and a Lord Rocheforde winning £45, and another £41 the month after that report.^[1]

Was removed by an anon with the edit summary "Tudor-era high-society shuffleboard was played on a long table, not a small board. It is relevant to the history of the game family, but not this particular game." We might want to do something with this material, somewhere (perhaps even in this article, distinguishing them better) but this likely requires more sources.
