[Footnote 105.2: [From Fenn, iv. 176.] The commission to Lord
Scales and Sir John Howard mentioned in this letter seems to have
reference to a proclamation dated the 11th May 1464, by which all
men between the ages of sixty and sixteen were ordered to attend
the King. The date is confirmed by the reference in the postscript
to the death of ‘Rous of Suffolk,’ for Reginald Rous of Denington
died in 1464. (_See_ Weever’s _Funeral Monuments_, p. 782.)]
[Footnote 105.3: Constantine Dalby was instituted to the Vicarage
of East Dereham in 1451, and was succeeded in 1458 by Robert
Sheringham.]
[Footnote 106.1: John de la Pole, Duke of Suffolk.]
[Footnote 106.2: Anthony Widville was created Lord Scales in
1461.--F.]
[Footnote 107.1: Reginald Rous, Esq. of Denington, in Suffolk,
died in 1464. He was the ancestor of the present Earl of
Stradbroke.]
