[Footnote 41.1: [From Fenn, iv. 100.] On the 29th May 1462 a
commission was granted to Sir John Howard and Sir Thomas Walgrave
to arrest the ships, the _Mary Talbot_ and the _Mary Thomson_,
both of Lynn, and other vessels in Norfolk, Suffolk, and Essex,
for a fleet which the King was fitting out (see _Patent Roll_,
2 Edw. IV., p. 1, m. 14, _in dorso_). Sir Thomas Walgrave may
perhaps have been the person designated in this letter as the
Master of Carbrooke. At all events, the date is clearly about this
time.]
[Footnote 41.2: At Carbrooke, in Norfolk, was a commandry formerly
belonging to the Knights Templars, which, like most of the
possessions of the order, when it was suppressed in Edward II.’s
time, was given to the Knights of St. John.]
[Footnote 42.1: I do not understand the meaning of the word
‘herden.’ --F.]
