John Jenkins received his first Court post in the spring of 1660, on the Restoration of Charles II to the throne. He had been born in 1592, the son of a Maidstone carpenter, and had spent the bulk of his career on the periphery of England's musical affairs-mainly, it seems, in remote country houses in East Anglia. His belated Court post was as a lutenist in the Private Music, the select group of musicians whose job was to provide the monarch with music in his private apartments.
