Footnotes

[1]. It is very clear from all historical records that Sir Walter Raleigh was never imprisoned in the White Tower, so that a misguiding notice in the crypt might well be removed.

[2]. This Henry Percy, “Hotspur,” appears as an early ancestor in the genealogy of the Younghusband family.

[3]. See Chapter XI.
