The Paston Letters, A.D. 1422-1509. Volume 2 (of 6)

Note 226.1 — THE PASTON LETTERS Henry VI (continued 5)

Reading edition

[Add. MS. 34,889, f. 169.] This letter must have been written in a year when Easter fell after the 20th April, as Lent does not appear to have begun on the 4th March; and as it was during the life of Cardinal Kempe, we may pretty safely fix it to the year 1451. The year 1454, indeed, might be possible as regards Easter, but there is no indication here of those troubles of which the writer complains so bitterly in that year on the 20th March. See No. 239.

226.2 The Earl of Oxford.

227.1 Thomas de Kirkeby.
