Note 328.1 — THE PASTON LETTERS Henry VI (continued 7)

Reading edition

[Add. MS. 34,889, f. 217.] The reference to Lord Wiltshire proves the date of this letter to lie between 1449 and 1460, and it would seem to be 1454 when the 20th July was a Saturday, Wednesday and Thursday being spoken of as past dates and Monday as a future one.

328.2 Richard, Earl of Salisbury.

328.3 James Butler, Earl of Wiltshire and Ormonde.

328.4 John, Lord Beauchamp.

328.5 Sir John Fastolf.

329.1 William Booth was Archbishop of York from 1452 to 1464. If the letter had been earlier Cardinal Kemp would have been Archbishop of York, and would have been called ‘Cardinal of York.’
