Note 130.1 — THE PASTON LETTERS Henry VI (continued 3)

Reading edition

[From Paston MSS., B.M.] From an allusion in the latter part of this letter, it is evident that it was written in 1450, after Margaret had been driven out of Gresham, as mentioned in John Paston’s petition, No. 102 preceding.

130.2 William Hasard.—See Letter No. 88.

130.3 But if, i.e. unless.

131.1 Fastyngong was a popular name for Shrovetide. Fastingong Sunday I believe to have been the Sunday after Shrove Tuesday, which would be the 22nd of February in 1450.

131.2 Mutilated.

133.1 John Heydon, Esq. of Baconsthorpe, appears to have been the person referred to.—See No. 135 following.

134.1 Sustead was John Damme’s place (see Blomefield, viii. 168). It is in the immediate neighbourhood of Gresham.
