Limer

In England the Bloodhound was so typically associated with the function of being a limer that George Turberville uses the term “Bloodhound” (in preference to “limer”, which was becoming archaic) for the French word “limier” throughout his 1575 translation of La Venerie de Jaques du Fouilloux.

Muscovite

This usage became widely known in England during the sixteenth century with its first mention appearing in letters by George Turberville, the secretary of England's ambassador to the Russian tzar Ivan the Terrible, in 1568.
