[Footnote 116.1: [From Fenn, iii. 298.] That this letter was
written in the year 1457 appears pretty clear from its agreement
with the last, in which Botoner speaks of the expediency of
getting the accounts of Fastolf’s household audited, and
mentions that his master was sending him up to London. A further
confirmation of the date may be found in the dates of the Privy
Seals of the 35th year of Henry VI., which show that the King
was at Hereford during April, though he had removed to Worcester
on the 4th of May.]
[Footnote 117.1: The left-hand copy in Fenn reads ‘neide,’ but
the modern version ‘never,’ which is clearly the true reading.]
[Footnote 118.1: So in Fenn, but qu. ‘couth.’ --_See_ p. 41.]
[Footnote 118.2: Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick.]
[Footnote 118.3: Thomas Bourchier, Archbishop of Canterbury.]
[Footnote 118.4: John Neville, afterwards Marquis Montague,
married Isabel, daughter and heir of Sir Edmund Ingoldesthorpe
of Burgh Green, in Cambridgeshire, by his wife Jane, sister, and
at length co-heir of John, Lord Tiptoft, first Earl of
Worcester. He was slain in the battle of Barnet in 1471.]
