Note 114.1 — THE PASTON LETTERS Edward IV.
Reading edition
[From Fenn, iv. 440.] In the postscript to the preceding letter, Sir John Paston intimates his belief that the two widows who had appealed his brother of the murder of their husbands had married again, and that thereby the appeals were abated. It appears by the present letter that this intelligence was correct as regards one of them.
114.2 The widow of a tenant in chivalry was called the Lord’s widow.
