^{page 338 note i} This I learn from a MS. mentioned in a Catalogue of MSS. issued by Mr. Thomas Thorpe in 1844, p. 25, No. 128, where it is thus described: “Original Commission of Sir John Fastolf, Grand Master of the Household of John Duke of Bedford, Regent of France, &c. appointing R. Stafford and Rich. Conyngstone to take the muster of the Troops under Sir W. Oldhalle, Seneschal of Normandy. A curious document, on vellum, 3l. 3s. Alençon, 8th Nov. 1424.” I am not able to state what has become of this MS.

^{page 341 note a} So long a range of subordinate buildings of brick may have been thought remarkable, though W. of Worcester was no stranger to a large building of that material; for he had seen Caistor Castle erected by his master, Sir John Fastolf, of brick, coped with stone; which is said to have been about 300 feet square. (Paston Letters, iii. p. 352.) Brick was then coming into favour as a building material. Beside Tattershall and Faulkbourne, Hurstmonceaux Castle was of brick, and others might be mentioned.

^{page 347 note a} Perhaps of Sir John Fastolf (see Paston Letters, iii. letter 31), who, though not an avowed partisan of the Duke of York, was suspected by the Queen's party (ibid, letter 29), and was most probably, like John Paston, a well-wisher to his cause at this time.

I question the date assigned by the editor to this letter; for in it the lady's mother suggests inquiries whether Sir William's lands were clear : whereas at that time he was attainted, and his lands forfeited. It is more likely to have been written in Mardr, 1456, when the attainder had been reversed.
