Note 134b — Chapter VII · THE FIELD OF THE BATTLE OF TEWKESBURY. [131a]
Reading edition
Holinshed calls it Thursday the 1st of May; but there is evidently some little confusion in his dates, as to Edward’s movements. Holinshed states that the battle of Tewkesbury was fought on Saturday the 4th of May; and if so, it is impossible that the preceding Thursday could have been the 1st of May. He must either have meant Wednesday the 1st of May, or Thursday the 2nd of May.
