page 2 note 4 Kerchiefs.
page 4 note 1 Pledges, sureties.
page 4 note 2 “borwys ” has been inserted above the line in both places.
page 5 note 1 Her name was Margaret; but this and some other capital letters in the original are obscure and perhaps the compiler did not know what they ought to be.

page 8 note 1 Frails.
page 8 note 2 A cade, a barrel of 600 herrings.
page 8 note 3 Or “mulvel ” = cod.

page 15 note 1 A pepper mill.
page 15 note 2 Wooden.

page 19 note 1 The title is written in dorso.

page 20 note 1 The 2nd February was on a Monday in 1355, but not in 1354 ; the regnal year would seem to be wrongly given. Sir John de Stonor, the judge, did not die till August, 1354.
page 20 note 2 See No. 31. This document suggests that the true date of that letter is 1366.
page 20 note 3 See No. 33.

page 22 note 2 The date is given as “millesimo quadrigentesimo et octogesimo nono ” [1489–90]. But from Ch. Misc. 37. ix. 30 (see Stonor Letters, ii. 168) which is dated 23 January, in the 19th year of Edward IV [1479–80] it is clear that the will was incorrectly copied.
