Note 141.1 — THE PASTON LETTERS Edward IV (continued 3)
Reading edition
[From Fenn, iv. 164.] There can be little doubt this letter was written in the year 1465, when Margaret was troubled by Mr. Philip Lipgate and the Duke of Suffolk’s bailiff of Cossey. It may be observed also that Margaret here dates from Hellesden, and speaks of having been recently at Caister. Compare Nos. 579 and 581. Further, the name of John Jenney is found on the Commission of the Peace for Norfolk, dated the 1st April 1465 (Patent, 5 Edward IV., p. 1, m. 32), but it is not on the commission issued on the 20th February following (ib., m. 27); so that John Paston seems to have acted on his wife’s suggestion and been successful in getting him removed.
142.1 A.D. 1463. This was at the time the King was in the north, when Alnwick Castle surrendered to him.
