_Sir W. Stanley._--I find in one of the usual history books in use that
Sir William Stanley, who was beheaded for high treason, for saying "If
Perkin Wabbeck is son of Edward IV., I will supply him with five hundred
men," was executed in the third year of Henry VII. Now, in a memorandum
of the time in a _Horæ B. Virg._ in my possession, it states:
"Memorandum: Quod die lune xvio die Februarii anno Regis Henrici
Septimi Decimo Willius Stanley, Miles, Camerarius regis prædicti
receptus fuit apud Turrim London, et ductus usque scaffold et
ibidem fuit decapitatus. Johannes Warner et Nicholas Allwyn tunc
vic. London."
Could you help me to the true account?
