Note 105.2 — THE PASTON LETTERS Edward IV (continued 3)

Reading edition

[From Fenn, iv. 176.] The commission to Lord Scales and Sir John Howard mentioned in this letter seems to have reference to a proclamation dated the 11th May 1464, by which all men between the ages of sixty and sixteen were ordered to attend the King. The date is confirmed by the reference in the postscript to the death of ‘Rous of Suffolk,’ for Reginald Rous of Denington died in 1464. (See Weever’s Funeral Monuments, p. 782.)

105.3 Constantine Dalby was instituted to the Vicarage of East Dereham in 1451, and was succeeded in 1458 by Robert Sheringham.

106.1 John de la Pole, Duke of Suffolk.

106.2 Anthony Widville was created Lord Scales in 1461.—F.

107.1 Reginald Rous, Esq. of Denington, in Suffolk, died in 1464. He was the ancestor of the present Earl of Stradbroke.
