An Entity of Type: agent, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

A bodle or boddle or bodwell, also known as a half groat or Turner was a Scottish copper coin, of less value than a bawbee, worth about one-sixth of an English penny, first issued under Charles II. They were minted until the coronation of Anne. Its name may derive from Bothwell (a mint-master). It is mentioned in one of the songs of Joanna Baillie: Black Madge, she is prudent, has sense in her noddleIs douce and respectit; I carena a bodle. Fair play, he car'd na deils a boddle (He cared not devils a bodle)

Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • A bodle or boddle or bodwell, also known as a half groat or Turner was a Scottish copper coin, of less value than a bawbee, worth about one-sixth of an English penny, first issued under Charles II. They were minted until the coronation of Anne. Its name may derive from Bothwell (a mint-master). It is mentioned in one of the songs of Joanna Baillie: Black Madge, she is prudent, has sense in her noddleIs douce and respectit; I carena a bodle. The use of the word survives in the anglicised phrase "not to care a bodle", which Brewer glosses as "not to care a farthing". Something similar appears in Burns' Tam o' Shanter (line 110), it is also mentioned: Fair play, he car'd na deils a boddle (He cared not devils a bodle) (en)
