Summary
Where possible a brief indication of each recipient's social position has been given, together with the size and provenance of his or her fee and the reason why it was awarded. Members of the ducal council are marked * and are more fully documented in Appendix C. Many other annuitants were senior household and estate staff; their appointments are noted briefly here, and at greater length in the appropriate sections of Appendix B. Unless otherwise stated fees were awarded by letters patent under the Stafford seal.
PART I

Names which appear in both accounts are marked (1442–7), while those occurring in one but not the other are designated either (1442) or (1447) accordingly.
