page 98 note 1 Brother of Sir Thomas Fanshawe (later first viscount Fanshawe); Richard, a royalist and his successor as king's remembrancer, was appointed on 28 September 1644 (E.159/484, Mich. 20 Car. 1, rec. ro. 23); he was created a baronet on 2 September 1650 and died 16 June 1666: D.N.B.;, Fanshawe, A., Memoirs of Ann Lady Fanshawe, ed.

page 98 note 2 Dated 5 August 1641 and enrolled at E.159/481, Trin. 17 Car. 1 rec. ro. 57; the reversioners were Rowland Litton and William Ayloffe; a blank space was left in the MS. because Squibb was confused as to their names. Ayloffe (later 3rd baronet Ayloffe) was a first cousin of Thomas and Richard Fanshawe: Fanshawe, H. C., History of the Fanshawe Family (Newcastle-upon-Tyne, 1927), pp. 33, 34.Google Scholar

page 98 note 6 This is an error; the beneficiary of the trust was Charles Fanshawe, 4th vise. Fanshawe, the next to youngest son of Thomas 1st vise. Fanshawe (see notes 1 and 2); when Ayloffe died Charles refused to act, and his younger brother Simon became king's remembrancer (and later 5th visc.

page 99 note 22 I.e., a writ of attachiamento facias to the sheriff to arrest the defendant who was in contempt of court for not obeying the original subpoena (ad respondendum) to appear and answer the bill of complaint.

page 99 note 24 I.e., an alias attachiamento and a pluries attachiamento, which were only repetitions of the original writ of attachment.

page 99 note 25 If the defendant could not be found and so could not be arrested, a writ of proclamation was sent out by virtue of which it was proclaimed in the county that the defendant appear and answer upon his allegiance to the crown.
