[Footnote 93.1: [From Fenn, iv. 158.] The circumstance of the last
day of February falling on a Wednesday fixes the date of this
letter to the year 1464. There is no evidence in the dates of
Privy Seals that the King was at Waltham in the end of February,
or that he had previously visited Cambridgeshire, in any year
during the period when this letter must have been written; but it
is quite possible that he was at Waltham on the 27th February
1464, and if so, that he had passed through Cambridgeshire on his
way from Kimbolton, where he had been on the 17th.]

[Footnote 94.4: Sir Peter Ardern, Knight, was appointed Chief
Baron of the Exchequer, and also a Justice of the Common Pleas, in
1448; but in 1462 a new Chief Baron was appointed, and Ardern
retained only the judgeship in the Common Pleas. He died in 1467.]
[Footnote 95.1: John Wymondham, Esq., the purchaser of Felbrigg;
he died there in 1475, and was buried in the Augustine Friars at
