[Footnote 172-3: [From Paston MSS., B.M.] This letter gives an
account of the meeting of Henry VII. and Philip, King of Castile,
near Windsor, during the time when the latter was detained in
England in the beginning of the year 1506. It is well known how
after setting out from the Low Countries to take possession of his
kingdom of Castile, Philip met with a storm, and was driven to
land on our coast, and how, on hearing of it, Henry invited him to
visit him at his Court, where he staid for some time while the
damage done to his fleet was being repaired.]
[Footnote 173-1: Henry, Earl of Stafford, eldest son and heir of
Edward Stafford, Duke of Buckingham, who was attainted and
beheaded in 1521.]
[Footnote 173-2: Thomas Grey, Marquis of Dorset, was the son of
Thomas, the late Marquis, who was the son of Elizabeth, Queen of
Edward IV. by her first husband, Sir John Grey of Groby. This
nobleman in the next reign became Lord of the Marches between
England and Scotland, which he stoutly kept and boldly maintained.
He died in 1530, 22 Hen. VIII.--F.]
[Footnote 173-3: George Gray, Earl of Kent, was a true soldier to,
and a favourite of Henry, and survived this pageant a very short
time, dying within the year.--F.]
