Note 116.1 — THE PASTON LETTERS Henry VI (continued 3)
Reading edition
[From Fenn, iii. 298.] That this letter was written in the year 1457 appears pretty clear from its agreement with the last, in which Botoner speaks of the expediency of getting the accounts of Fastolf’s household audited, and mentions that his master was sending him up to London. A further confirmation of the date may be found in the dates of the Privy Seals of the 35th year of Henry VI., which show that the King was at Hereford during April, though he had removed to Worcester on the 4th of May.
117.1 The left-hand copy in Fenn reads ‘neide,’ but the modern version ‘never,’ which is clearly the true reading.
118.1 So in Fenn, but qu. ‘couth.’—See p. 41.
118.2 Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick.
118.3 Thomas Bourchier, Archbishop of Canterbury.
118.4 John Neville, afterwards Marquis Montague, married Isabel, daughter and heir of Sir Edmund Ingoldesthorpe of Burgh Green, in Cambridgeshire, by his wife Jane, sister, and at length co-heir of John, Lord Tiptoft, first Earl of Worcester. He was slain in the battle of Barnet in 1471.
118.5 John Tiptoft.
118.6 Hereford.
118.7 Humphrey Stafford.
118.8 John Talbot, second Earl.
118.9 Sir William Herbert, afterwards Earl of Pembroke, a steady Yorkist.
