[Footnote 200.1: [From Fenn, iv. 62.] John Mowbray, third Duke of
Norfolk, died on the 6th November 1461. It appears by the
Inquisitions _post mortem_, 1 Edward IV., No. 46, that John, his
son and successor in the title, was seventeen years old on St.
Luke’s Day (18th October) in that year. He must therefore have
been born on the 18th October 1444, and would have been of full
age on Friday, 18th October 1465. The John Paston, Esq., to whom
this letter was addressed, must have been the youngest of that
name, who, as we have seen already, had been serving in the Duke’s
household. His father was at this time a prisoner in the Fleet, so
that the letter could not have been intended for him.]
