[Sidenote: 1467 / MAY 1]
‘Bill indented’ 1 May, 7 Edw. IV., between Sir John Paston and Thomas
Lomnor, whereby the latter sells to the former an ambling horse ‘upon
this condition, that if the marriage betwixt the Lord Charles, son and
heir to the Duke of Burgon, and the Lady Margaret, sister to our
Sovereign Lord the King’ take effect within two years, Sir John agrees
to pay 6 marks for the horse on the day of the marriage; but if it do
not take effect within that period he will pay only 40 shillings.
[There is a modern copy of this document in the Heralds’ College, in
the collection called Brooke’s _Aspilogia_, vol. i. f. 47, where a
drawing is given of Sir John Paston’s seal, which seems to have been
attached to it when the transcript was made. It has been since
removed at some time or other.]
