[316] In the Cotton MS. is the following note on ver. 164, in an ancient hand:—
"Syr Hewe Mongomery takyn prizonar, was delyvered for the restorynge of Perssy."
[317] Ver. 165. Percyes.—Harl. MS.
[318] [Sir Walter Scott suggests that the person here alluded to was one of the Rutherfords, barons of Edgerstane or Edgerston, who at this time were retainers of the house of Douglas, but in Chevy Chase Sir John of Agerstone was on Percy's side.]
[319] [This is a misreading, as the person intended was a Lumley.]
[320] Sir W. Scott supposes "Sir Raffe the ryche Rugbè" to be Sir Ralph Neville of Raby Castle, son of the first Earl of Westmoreland, and cousin-german to Hotspur. He is called Sir Ralph Raby in the modern version of the ballad.
[321] More probably the Sir David Lambwell of the modern version.
