Note 41.1 — THE PASTON LETTERS Edward IV
Reading edition
[From Fenn, iv. 100.] On the 29th May 1462 a commission was granted to Sir John Howard and Sir Thomas Walgrave to arrest the ships, the Mary Talbot and the Mary Thomson, both of Lynn, and other vessels in Norfolk, Suffolk, and Essex, for a fleet which the King was fitting out (see Patent Roll, 2 Edw. IV., p. 1, m. 14, in dorso). Sir Thomas Walgrave may perhaps have been the person designated in this letter as the Master of Carbrooke. At all events, the date is clearly about this time.
41.2 At Carbrooke, in Norfolk, was a commandry formerly belonging to the Knights Templars, which, like most of the possessions of the order, when it was suppressed in Edward II.’s time, was given to the Knights of St. John.
42.1 I do not understand the meaning of the word ‘herden.’—F.
