[73.1] Inaccurately called Archbishop of Canterbury by Fabyan and others. He was not translated to Canterbury till 1452.
[73.2] Hall’s Chronicle. Holy Well was a mineral spring to the north of London, much frequented before the Reformation, when it was stopped up as being considered a place of superstitious resort. A century afterwards it was discovered anew by a Mr. Sadler, from whom the locality is named to this day Sadler’s Wells.
[73.3] Some doubt seems to be thrown on Hall’s statement that both prelates crossed the river, as earlier writers say the Chancellor sent pardons under the Great Seal. William Worcester, moreover, makes no mention of the cardinal, but says that the Bishop of Winchester and others of the king’s council spoke with the Captain of Kent. But the ‘Short English Chronicle’ in the Three Fifteenth Century Chronicles, edited by me for the Camden Society in 1880 (p. 68), does exactly the reverse, and omitting all reference to the Bishop of Winchester, says: ‘And forthewithe went the Chaunseler to the Capteyne and sessed him and gave him a chartur and his men an other.’
