Wretyn at Hederset, the Thursday next befor Midsomer. By Will’m Pryce.
[36.1] [From Fenn, iii. 432.] The evidence of date in this letter is the same as in [No. 288]. Notwithstanding Pryce’s efforts, not one of the persons named in this letter was actually elected, the knights returned for Norfolk in 1455 being the Duke of Norfolk’s nominees, Sir Roger Chamberlain and John Howard.—See [Nos. 294] and [295] following.
[36.2] Shieve in Fenn is almost certainly a misreading.
