[321.6] John Portington, a Justice of the Common Pleas.
[321.7] Henry Holland, Duke of Exeter. On the 11th May this year he had been ordered to appear before the Council on the following Thursday (16th May).—See Nicolas’s Privy Council Proceedings, vi. 180.
[321.8] His name was Thomas Lyseux.—See Patent Roll, 32 Hen. VI., m. 14.
[321.9] Philip the Good, Duke of Burgundy.
[321.10] Doubtless the grant of the wardship of Thomas Fastolf of Cowhawe.—See [p. 322, Note 2].
[322.1] William Worcester, or Botoner, as he called himself indifferently, secretary to Sir John Fastolf. He frequently introduces the letters ‘H. R.’ into or above his signature, and sometimes at the top of his letter. Fenn reads the name ‘Botener,’ which is certainly wrong according to the facsimile given of the signature in this place.
