Note 275.1 — THE PASTON LETTERS Henry VI (continued 6)

Reading edition

[Add. MS. 33,597, f. 1.] The year when this letter was written is not exactly certain, but seems to have been either 1452 or 1453. It might be 1450, except that one would have expected in October of that year to hear something about the parliamentary election, as well as the election of sheriffs.

275.2 William Dorward, according to Blomefield (Hist. of Norf. vi. 519), married Margaret, daughter of Nicholas Wichingham, who thus appears to have been a brother of Edmund the writer of this letter.

276.1 The sentence here is a little confused, and we forbear to supply punctuation.
