Note 121.1 — THE PASTON LETTERS Edward IV (continued 3)

Reading edition

[Add. MS. 34,889, f. 15.] The contents of this letter show it to be of the year 1465, when Daubeney and Calle, as we know, were with Margaret Paston (see No. 576). Reference is made to the displeasure Sir John Paston had given to both his parents in 1463 (see No. 552), and what his mother writes about his return home in May of this year (No. 579) goes to confirm the date. Further proof will be found in the footnote at p. 126.

121.2 If this be the vicar of Paston, it was William Warner, who succeeded Robert Williamson in 1464.

121.3 James Gloys, the priest.

122.1 Sir John Paston.

123.1 South Town, Yarmouth, where there was a house of Austin Friars.

123.2 Dr. John Brackley, the Grey Friar.

124.1 Meaning, that the waste was attributed to his sheep.

124.2 This word ‘goodly’ has been lined out, and a very illegible word inserted above it.

124.3 Constantine Dalby had been rector of Mautby from 1453 to 1460, and appears also to have held the vicarage of East Dereham from 1451 to 1458. He was succeeded at Mautby by Thomas Howes from 1460 to 1465, and then by Robert Cutler or Cotteler, who must be the ‘parson of Mautby’ spoken of just before.

124.4 Robert Sheringham was vicar of East Dereham from 1458 to 1467.

126.1 Edmund Clere, as appears by evidences in the Record Office, was escheator of Norfolk and Suffolk from November 1464 to November 1465.
