His finances
{Since financial matters, usually difficulties, provide most of what we know about Llewellyn, it is worth tabulating the public record systematically. As background, it can be noted that, as Steward, he was handling about £100 a month, against his annual salary of £10 [Moore, 2:229], though clearly he must have had other sources of income.

[See, where appropriate, His associates]

• 1597, August 27. Asked for and was granted the reversion of the function of Steward (when it should become vacant). He was also accepted by the Governors, from that date, to collect and receive rent from Hospital property (worth £5 a year). This continued after his appointment as Steward
  
  
• 1599, July 21. 'This day Marten Llewellen is admitted to the roome and place of the steward of this house according to a former grant'. His annual salary was £10, and a house was provided free
  
  
• 1603. Bond to Sir Thomas Smith [Smythe], Haberdasher of London [i.e. first Governor of the East India Company]. British Library Egerton Charter 7293. Also a similar bond for 1607 [Egerton Charter 7328]. (Neither seen)
  
  
• 1604, September. The Governors complained that the rent was not properly collected because the Renter 'cannot supply the same place by reason of his Stewardship'
  
  
• 1606, January. His Renter's salary was quadrupled to £20 p.a. He promised to bear all the costs himself
  
  
• 1607, September 19. He was replaced as Renter by Robert Cage, Dyer, and reverted to his £10 p.a. Steward's salary
  
  
• 1607 - see 1603
  
  
• 1609, October 21. Following a letter from Sir John Spencer, and referral from the Lord High Treasurer of England and the Chancellor of the Exchequer, he was summoned before the Lord Mayor and Aldermen for non-payment of a debt of £52.10s owed to John Harvey, a royal footman. This was taken over by William Harvey, who became the Hospital physician in that same year. It was agreed that 50s quarterly would be paid directly to Harvey from Llewellyn's salary [note that the sum exactly equalled his annual income of £10!] - James Paget, Records of Harvey: in extracts from the Journals of the Royal Hospital of St. Bartholomew (London, 1846), pp.3-4; Moore 2:461 (note) [original in St Bartholomew's Hospital Journal 1607-47, f.20v]
  
  
• 1611 March 25. Arrested by the Sheriff's officers, and saved by the intervention of the patients and Sisters. [This may have been the occasion when "two of the Sisters beat some sheriff's officers who came to arrest [him] for debt" - Moore 2:760]. The Governors let him compound for the debt, which remained for the rest of his life [Moore 2:792].
  
  
• 1613, February 1. Elizabeth Launden claimed he had taken away £13 worth of pewter and linen. The Governors asked Matron to mediate as she 'hath some former knowledge of her [Elizabeth's] demands'. Llewellyn gave Anthony Bartlett as surety and also agreed to 'discharge the hospital and parish for suche children which he nowe hath or hereafter shall have borne within this parish' - he had had five recorded children by then [report in the Archives]
  
  
• 1613/14 [Churchwardens Accounts, running from May to May]. He was paid 3s 4d [3 shillings and 4 pence] for 'drawing a platt of the precinct of this parish', i.e. of St Bartholomew the Less, which was co-terminus with the Hospital
  
  
• 1634. Following his burial on May 12th, the Governors, at the request of Sir Paul Pindar [Pinder] and Mr [James] Ingram gave £80 to his widow Sara[h] - [Moore 2:792]
  
  
• 1634. At some point in this year, most likely after his death in May, his atlas, which might have been thought to have had commercial value, was donated to Christ Church, Oxford. Llewellyn seems not to have left a will as his affairs were settled by Administration
  
  
• 1634. Following the death of his brother Morris [Maurice] a debt of £852 'and any other debt' owing by Martin were discharged as per his will (dated 15 November 1634, with probate granted 3 January 1634/5)}
