Note 143.2 — THE PASTON LETTERS Henry VI (continued 3)
Reading edition
[From Fenn, i. 194.] Here we have another letter, of uncertain date, addressed to the same person as the last. The year when it was written is quite immaterial, but must have been between 1444, when John Mowbray, the writer’s husband, was confirmed in the dignity of Duke of Norfolk (which had belonged to his grandfather in the time of Richard II.), and 1460, when Viscount Beaumont was slain at the battle of Northampton.
144.1 An officer who had charge of the table linen, etc.
