ABSTRACT[98-1]

[Sidenote: 1471 / APRIL 10]

‘30. Relaxatio Johannis Paston facta episc. Winton, et aliis totius

juris in maneriis vocat. Akethorp in Leyestoft, Spitlings in Gorleston,

Habland in Bradwell, etc., quæ quondam fuerunt Johannis Fastolf.--April

10, Edw. IV. 11.’

[Footnote 98-1: This is another entry from the old index of deeds

in Magdalen College, Oxford. There is probably some slight error

in the date, as Edward IV. was not acknowledged as King on the

10th April, in what would otherwise have been the eleventh year of

his reign. He was so acknowledged a few days later--_i.e._ after

the battle of Barnet, which was fought on the 14th April--so that

if the date had been, say, April 20, instead of April 10, it would

have been quite consistent. It is impossible, however, to say

where the error lies, so we place the document under the date

actually expressed in it.]
