The Paston Letters, A.D. 1422-1509. Volume 3 (of 6)

Note 84.1 — THE PASTON LETTERS Henry VI (continued 2)

Reading edition

[From Paston MSS., B.M.] The date of this letter is quite certain, not only from the circumstance of the 5th May being a Wednesday in 1456, as mentioned in the beginning, but also from Ascension Day falling between that and the 8th, the day on which this letter was written.

84.2 Ascension Day was the 6th May in 1456.

84.3 See Nos. 267, 268, etc.

84.4 Richard Choke, Serjeant-at-law, afterwards Judge of the Common Pleas.

84.5 Thomas Lyttelton, the great lawyer, at this time King’s Serjeant, afterwards Judge of the Common Pleas, famous for his treatise on Tenures.

84.6 William Jenney.

84.7 Richard Illingworth, afterwards Chief Baron of the Exchequer.

85.1 Sir John Fastolf.

86.1 A full stop after ‘Quene’ would improve the grammar of this sentence, but the original is entirely without punctuation. The writer evidently meant that the Queen and Prince were at Tutbury, and the Duke of York at Sandal.

86.2 The foreign merchants. A riot took place about this time in London, in which the houses of foreigners were attacked.—See Fabyan’s Chronicle; also Brown’s Venetian Calendar, i. 81, 84.
