Note 101.1 — THE PASTON LETTERS Henry VI (continued 2)

Reading edition

[From Fenn, iii. 276.] This letter may be presumed to have been written during the time that Archbishop Bourchier was Lord Chancellor, viz. between 7th March 1455 and 11th October 1456, when the Great Seal was given to Bishop Waynfleet. William Norwich, also, was Sheriff of Norwich in 1455, and is doubtless addressed in that capacity, but his year of office would not have begun so early as September. The letter therefore belongs to the following year.

101.2 Sheriff of Norwich, 1455; Mayor, 1461. Died, 1463-4.—Blomefield.

101.3 See vol. ii. p. 248, Note 4.
