[Footnote 281.1: [From Paston MSS., B.M.] Elizabeth Paston, who,
as we have seen (No. 374), had been married to Robert Poynings
by the beginning of the year 1459, became his widow in 1461, her
husband having been killed in the second battle of St. Albans on
the 17th February. It would appear by this letter that she was
immediately after dispossessed of her husband’s lands by
Eleanor, Countess of Northumberland, who was Baroness Poynings
in her own right.]
[Footnote 281.2: Elizabeth Paston, now widow of Robert
Poynings.]
[Footnote 281.3: Eleanor, widow of Henry Percy, third Earl, who
was slain at Towton in 1461.]
[Footnote 281.4: Fenys.]
