The Paston Letters, A.D. 1422-1509. Volume 5 (of 6)

Note 145.1 — THE PASTON LETTERS Edward IV.

Reading edition

[From Paston MSS., B.M.] The references to the affairs of the deceased Sir Thomas Lynde, the Duchess of Norfolk’s pregnancy, and other subjects mentioned in the letter immediately preceding, prove clearly that this letter belongs to the same year.

145.2 Master John Smyth was, at this time, an officer in the Bishop’s Court; he became afterwards Chancellor of the Diocese of Norwich, and died about 1491.

146.1 Walter Lyhert, Bishop of Norwich, from 1445 to 1472.

146.2 William de Wainfleet, Bishop of Winchester from 1447 to 1486.

146.3 Fenn reads ‘onys a yer,’ which may have been intended; but I think the true reading is ‘ayen.’

147.1 She afterwards married William Yelverton, Esq.

147.2 See p. 144, Note 1.
