[Footnote 240-1: Sir William Brandon was the grandfather of Henry
VIII.’s favourite, Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk. Footnote 2 on
p. 156, taken from Fenn, is wrong. Charles Brandon’s father, who
was slain at Bosworth, was another Sir William, knighted by the
Earl of Richmond before the battle.]
[Footnote 240-2: In 1475 a comb of oats sold for 11_d._; we have
therefore the value of a hat in this reign.--F. In No. 871 the
price of oats is given as 10_d._ a comb, but the markets are
considered to be bad.]
