JOHN PASTON, K.

[Footnote 135-2: [From Fenn, ii. 90.] After the death of Prince

Edward, the son of Henry VI., who is said to have been murdered

just after the Battle of Tewkesbury in May 1471, Richard, Duke of

Gloucester, married his widow Anne, who was the daughter of

Warwick the Kingmaker. The reference to the proposed sale of

Sporle wood goes further to fix the date. _See_ Letter 793, and

Nos. 819 and 820 following.]
