[Footnote 124-1: [Douce MS. 393, f. 81.] A portion of the lands of
Thomas, Lord Scales, whose widow, Elizabeth, married Anthony
Woodville, Earl of Rivers,--and among others the manor called
Scales’s Manor in Hockwold,--descended after the death of this
Elizabeth to William Tyndale, who was knighted at the coronation
of Arthur, Prince of Wales, on the 30th November 1489. (See
Blomefield, ii. 180, and Leland’s _Collectanea_, iv. 250-2.) As
this letter must have been written after the accession of Henry
VII., when the Earl of Oxford returned from banishment, and before
William Tyndale was made a knight, the date is between 1486 and
1489.]
