Note 274.1 — THE PASTON LETTERS Edward IV
Reading edition
[From Fenn, iv. 10.] The writer of this letter speaks of having served with the Earl of Warwick at the battle of Northampton in July 1460, and again at the second battle of St. Albans in February 1461. We know from later letters that he was murdered in the beginning of July following. As he dates from York, and speaks of being ‘here in the King’s house,’ the date would appear to be about the 10th of May, on which day we find by the dates of the Privy Seals that Edward IV. was at York.
274.2 See vol. ii. Nos. 238, 239.
274.3 Sir John Howard, who was sheriff of Norfolk this year.
