Robert Braybroke bisshop of London, Richard Whityngton, William of Askeham, John Wodcok, and many other." NOTE Y. page 83. "And than after the presentacion of the seid supplicacion, there were made many blank chartres; and alle the men of every crafte of the cite as wele allowes and servaunts as the maisters, were charged to come to the Yeldhalle, to set there sealis to the seid blank chartres." But the disturbance "by Chestreschire men in Fryday strete," mentioned in the text, is not noticed. NOTE Z. page 91. "And also Sir John Cornewaile, Sir Richard of Arundell, the son of Sir John Cheyne and other Frensshemen." NOTE AA. page 92. "And holde the righte wey of Holy Chirche, and hym shulde want no goode. Also Courtney, that tyme chaunceller of Oxonford, prichid and enfourmed hym the feith of Holy Chirche, and the prior of seynt Barthemew" &c. NOTE BB. page 94. The copy in the Cottonian MS. adds, "And about the fest of seint Laurence the duke of Clarence seilid into Fraunce, to help the duke of Orliaunce," but it takes no notice of the arrival of the prince and his attendants in London, or of the departure of the duke of Clarence, the duke of York, &c. to Southampton. NOTE CC. page 96. The mayor and sheriffs mentioned in the text and in the copy in the Cottonian MS., as having served those offices in the 14th Hen. IV., are in the latter also assigned to the 1st Hen. V.; whilst the mayor and sheriffs stated in the text to have served in the 1st Hen. V., are in the latter attributed to the 2nd year of that monarch's reign. But there is manifestly much confusion respecting the year of the king's reign in which the events occurred, in the copy from which the text has been taken, and which will again be alluded to in a future note. NOTE DD. page 96. The copy in the Cottonian MS. adds, "And were put in his owne sepulture that he made himself, with quene Anne his wiffe." This is the only circumstance mentioned under the 1st Hen. V. in that MS.: and under the 2nd Hen. V., the transactions concerning Sir John Oldcastle &c., which in the text are stated to have occurred in the preceding year, are related. NOTE EE. page 99. In the Cottonian MS. under the _third_ year of Hen. V., and when the mayor and sheriffs mentioned in the text as serving in the 2nd Hen. V. are stated to have held those offices, the king's expedition is properly noticed. This error cannot be explained in any othe
