Note 143 — NOTE ON SYMBOLS (continued 2)
Reading edition
1 Contention, sc. xxii. 1, ‘Alarmes to the battaile, and then enter the Duke of Somerset and Richard fighting, and Richard kils him vnder the signe of the Castle in saint Albones’. The s.d. of 2 Hen. VI, V. ii. 66, is only ‘Enter Richard, and Somerset to fight’, but the dialogue shows that the ‘alehouse paltry sign’ was represented.
