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

Note 37.2 — THE PASTON LETTERS Edward IV

Reading edition

[From Fenn, iv. 358.] This letter has reference to the contract of marriage between Richard Calle and Margery Paston in 1469. See No. 710, preceding. The last paragraph seems to have reference to the propositions mentioned in the preceding letter.

37.3 Walter Lyhert.

38.1 Fenn thinks this was Dr. John Saresson, otherwise Wigenhale, who, he tells us, was Chancellor to the Bishop from 1435 to 1471, and had other Church preferment in the Diocese. But I am a little doubtful whether he lived so long, as it does not appear that he kept any other of his preferments to so late a date. We know that Dr. William Pykenham was Chancellor in 1471.

39.1 Sir James Gloys.

39.2 Brethele or brethelyng signified a worthless person.

40.1 The Duke of Norfolk.
