Transcriber’s Note

The Errata provided by the author in the printed text have been applied to this text.

The Index refers to footnotes which are renumbered here, and the Index entries have been changed accordingly. The original entry for Stanley referring to “271 note 3” seems incorrect. The second note on that page does seem to be the correct one, and is now note 935. The entry for John Stoke, Abbot of St. Albans, refers to note 7 on p. 72. The note appears on p. 75. This has been corrected.

Minor inconsistencies of punctuation have been resolved. The spelling of proper names varies, and variants have been retained. The changes listed here were made where obvious errors were made by the printer.
