[Footnote 39.1: [From Paston MSS., B.M.] The manor of Weeting, in

Norfolk, came to John Vere, twelfth Earl of Oxford, by his

marriage with Elizabeth, daughter and heir of John Howard,

Esquire, son and heir of Sir John Howard, Knight. This Earl was

beheaded in February 1462, for treason against Edward IV., and the

present letter seems to have been written in May following.]

[Footnote 39.2: Hock Monday was a fortnight after Easter Monday.

In 1462 it fell on the 3rd May, the day before this letter was

written.]

[Footnote 39.3: _With_ repeated in MS.]
