Note 296.3 — THE PASTON LETTERS Edward IV
Reading edition
[From Paston MSS., B.M.] This letter is printed from a draft which is partly in John Paston’s own hand. The contents clearly refer to, first, the Norfolk election of 1461, which it was proposed to confirm by a new meeting of the electors at the shire-house; and secondly, the necessity of electing a new coroner after the murder of Thomas Denys. The date is therefore certain.
298.1 Between this and the next paragraph is the following sentence crossed out:— ‘Item, I send yow a writ direct to the Meyer and Shreves of Norwich for to receyve of hem an C. [hundred] mark yerly for suche jowellys as the Kyng hath of me.’
298.2 This name is substituted for three others crossed out, viz. ‘John Grenefeld, Thomas Playter, Water Wrottisle, Squyer.’
298.3 Here occurs the name, ‘Christofere Grenacre,’ crossed out.
