a In the original from which our copy is taken there is a label for the seal, and blanks are left for the date of the day and month, but the year of the king's reign is given. The Duke of Suffolk was John de la Pole, son of William Duke of Suffolk and Alice daughter and heir of Sir Thomas Chaucer. John was married to Elizabeth, second daughter of Richard Duke of York, and was consequently brother (in law) to Edward IV. as designated in the letter to him from that king written in favour of the claim of John Trevelyan, and already printed by this Society in Trevelyan Papers, Pt. I. p. 82. T these we may add the subsequent document, likewise on parchment, and derived, like the other documents, from the family records:—

“The reioinder of John Trevilian, Knyght, to the reioinder of the Lady Anne. The seid John Trevilian seith and verryfyith yn ev'y thyng as he yn hys seid bylle and replicac'on hath seid, w‘oute that_the moder of the seid Duke of Suff’ died seised of the seid mannors, londs, and tenements, or of eny p'te therof, or that hys seid moder was att eny tyme seased of the seid mannors, londs, and tenements, or of eny p'te therof, yn hyr demene, as of fee or of eny other state of enheritaunce, as in hyr seid reioinder is sunnysed. All whyche matters he is redy to veryfye and prove.”
