82. PROCEEDINGS IN THE SUIT OF STONOR VERSUS FORTESCUE 1466-68

The Stonor Manuscripts in Chancery Miscellanea, 37, iii, 44, include a copy, of the pleadings in the King's Bench in Trinity Term, 1467, reciting the pro|ceedings in Chancery of the previous year. To complete the history of the case extracts are given from the Coram Rege Rolls down to Michaelmas, 1468, at which time Thomas Stonor's letter—No. 91—shows that Richard Fortescue was finally dismissed. The reason for the description of Thomas Stonor as a servant of the Archbishop of York is obscure—but see No. 97; he may have been steward of one of the archbishop's manors.
