[Footnote 274.1: [From Fenn, iv. 10.] The writer of this letter
speaks of having served with the Earl of Warwick at the battle
of Northampton in July 1460, and again at the second battle of
St. Albans in February 1461. We know from later letters that he
was murdered in the beginning of July following. As he dates
from York, and speaks of being ‘here in the King’s house,’ the
date would appear to be about the 10th of May, on which day we
find by the dates of the Privy Seals that Edward IV. was at
York.]

this year.]
