[27.5] Henry Beaufort, Bishop of Winchester, afterwards Cardinal.

[27.7] John Paston or Wortes, the writer of the preceding letter.
[28.1] A lordship in Sprouston was acquired by John Aslake of Bromholm in 14 Richard II., and seems to have continued some time in that family. Blomefield notes that a Walter Aslake, Esq. of Sprouston, had a protection in the 10th of Henry VI., being in France in the retinue of John, Duke of Bedford (Blomefield’s Norfolk, x. 462). Probably this was the same Walter Aslak mentioned in No. 6 preceding.—See [p. 18].
