[Footnote 235.2: [From Paston MSS., B.M.] The writer of this
excuses his delay in coming to London, as he had been asked to
stay and give evidence before the under-escheator, who was to
sit at Acle on Tuesday after St. Luke’s Day. This refers to the
inquisition on the lands of Sir John Fastolf, which was taken at
Acle on that day in 1460.]
[Footnote 235.3: St. Faith’s Day is on the 6th of October.]
[Footnote 235.4: Richard Southwell, Escheator of Norfolk.]
[Footnote 236.1: Acle in Norfolk.]
[Footnote 236.2: St. Luke’s Day is the 18th October. The Tuesday
after it was the 21st in 1460.]
