121. THOMAS MULL TO THOMAS STONOR [MAY, 1472]

Margery, daughter of Sir Thomas Etchingham, married William, son of Walter Blount, Lord Mountjoy, who was killed at Barnet on 14 April, 1471. Margery subsequently married Sir John Elrington and died in 1481; she was buried at St. Leonard, Shoreditch (Stow, Survey, ii, 75). Cicely, widow of Sir Thomas Kyriel, died on 19 April, 1472 (Chancery Inq. p.m., Edward IV, file 42). Since Lady Kyriel was lately dead, and since this letter was probably not much earlier than the next, the date must have been quite early in May, 1472. Sir John Fogge was Treasurer of the Household to Edward IV. From A.C., xlvi, 62.
