Note 51.2 — THE PASTON LETTERS Edward IV (continued 2)

Reading edition

[From Fenn, i. 260.] This letter must have been written in the year 1462 before the Duke of Somerset was received into favour. Proclamations similar to those mentioned in this letter were issued on the 6th March 1461 and the 11th May 1464; but neither of these can be the case referred to. The coming of the King to London must have been in the beginning of September 1462. He was in London on the 14th of that month, and had been at Fotheringay on the 1st, as the dates of Privy Seals inform us.

51.3 St. Olave’s, in Suffolk.

52.1 William Worcester.

52.2 p’.—So in Fenn’s left-hand copy. The word seems to have been ambiguous in the original MS., and is rendered ‘by’ (in italics) in the modern version.
