The land in question was the principality of Wales, the duchy of Cornwall, the earldoms of Chester and March and the lordship of Elfael, which had all been administered by the prince's council at Ludlow.

¹⁹ This is almost certainly the list which survives as part of the signet archive, headed ‘Fees & wages graunted out of the Coronne to diverse Fokes underwritten by king Edward the iiij^th whom god pardon’: Horrox and Hammond III, 191–9. On internal evidence this was hastily produced in the reign of Edward V and the type of fees included (payable mainly on farms and customs) suggests an exchequer provenance. Metcalfe was of Nappa (Yorks), a councillor and auditor of the duke of Gloucester.

²⁰ No surviving examples of views of account or petitions for allowance cover the same period as the Longieat lists, but Exeter examples for 13–14 and 22–23 Edward IV respectively contain only a fraction of the Longieat entries: PRO Customs accounts, E 122/41/5, 7.

²¹ Cos 19, 9v–10. That the latter are the clear revenues, even when this is not explicitly stated, can be seen by a comparison with the enrolled accounts, e.g. the manuscript values the mint at £194 18s 2½d, in 21–22 Edward IV the receipts were £4166s 9d and outgoings £275 13s 8d: PRO E 364/116.
