Below is written—‘Guy Fayrefax, Knyght, [Ric. Pygot, one of the King’s Serjeants of the Law,][74.2] and Roger Townesend, [another of][74.2] the King’s Serjeants of the Law.
[This proviso must have been drawn up in connection with some measure that was to have come before the Parliament of January 1484. Earlier it cannot be, as Roger Townesend was not appointed King’s Serjeant till June 1483; and as Margaret Paston died in November 1484, it could not possibly be later.]
