[108.2] [From Fenn, iii. 202.] This letter is dated by Fenn 1454, with some others relating to matches proposed for Elizabeth Paston; but the date of this cannot be later than 1451, as Sir Harry Inglos died that year. Moreover, it cannot be either 1451 or 1450, as ‘the Saturday next after Midsummer’ when this letter is dated, preceded ‘the Wednesday next after Midsummer day’ in both these years. Thus 1449 is the latest possible date.
[108.3] Elizabeth, widow of Robert Clere of Ormesby, Esq.
[108.4] Stephen Scrope, a son of Sir John Fastolf’s wife by a former husband.
[108.5] Elizabeth Paston.
[109.1] John Hawteyn.—See [Nos. 46], [50], and [63].
