Note 329.2 — THE PASTON LETTERS Henry VI (continued 7)

Reading edition

[From Fenn, i. 72.] The date of this letter is fixed by the fact referred to in Note 3, and by Sir John Fastolf’s going into Norfolk, which, though delayed a little later than is here projected, certainly did take place in 1454. See another letter of William Paston further on, dated 6th September.

329.3 Henry Holland, Duke of Exeter. On the 24th July the Duke of York was charged by the Privy Council to convey him to Pomfret Castle.—See Nicolas’s Privy Council Proceedings, vi. 217.

329.4 Edmund Beaufort, Duke of Somerset, who was committed to the Tower in the end of the year 1453.—See p. 290, Note 1.

329.5 Stephen Scroope, Sir John Fastolf’s ward, son of Lady Fastolf, by her former husband.

329.6 John Prisot, Chief Justice of the Common Pleas.
