Note 295.2 — THE PASTON LETTERS Henry VI (continued 6)

Reading edition

[Egerton MS. 914, B.M.] There is no evidence that this letter had anything to do with the Paston correspondence, but as a very interesting political letter of the period we have thought it right to give it a place in the collection. The date is quite certain, being after the birth of Prince Edward in October 1453, and before the death of Cardinal Kemp in March 1454.

295.3 Edward, only son of Henry VI., born 13th October 1453.

296.1 John Kemp, Cardinal Archbishop of Canterbury.

296.2 James Butler, Earl of Wiltshire and Ormond.

296.3 Henry Holland.

296.4 Thomas Percy, third son of Henry, Earl of Northumberland.

296.5 Thomas Thorpe, one of the Barons of the Exchequer, who was also Speaker of the House of Commons, but was at this time imprisoned in the Fleet in consequence of an action brought against him by the Duke of York.—(See Rolls of Parl. v. 239.)

296.6 Thomas Tresham, who as ‘Sir Thomas Tresham, Knight,’ was attainted under Edward IV. for fighting on the Lancastrian side at Towton, but his attainder was afterwards reversed in Parliament 7 and 8 Edw. IV., on the ground that he was a household servant of Henry VI. and had been brought up in his service from a child.—Rolls of Parl. v. 616–617.

296.7 William Joseph, who, with Thorpe, was frequently accused by the Yorkists of misleading the King.—Rolls of Parl. v. 280, 282, 332, 342.

296.8 Thomas Daniel, Esq.—See p. 255, Note 2.

296.9 John Trevilian.

297.1 25th January.

297.2 Afterwards Edward IV., the Duke of York’s eldest son.

297.3 Richard Nevill, Earl of Salisbury, father of Warwick the King-maker.

297.4 21st January.

297.5 Richard Nevill, Earl of Warwick, afterwards known as ‘the King-maker.’

297.6 Edmund Tudor, the King’s half-brother. He was the father of King Henry VII.

298.1 Jasper Tudor, brother of the Earl of Richmond, and half-brother to the King.

298.2 Probably the Duke of Norfolk.

298.3 See p. 255, Note 3.

299.1 Cardinal Kemp was at this time Chancellor.—See p. 296, Note 1.

299.2 So in MS.

299.3 14th January.
