237. DAME ELIZABETH STONOR TO SIR WILLIAM STONOR 26 MARCH [1479]

Since Sir William Stonor is a knight, the date cannot be earlier than 1478. From No. 205 it appears that Lady Stonor went to London on 25th March, 1478, so that 1479 is the only possible year. "Lovel's daughters" may be the children of William Lovel, Lord Morley, who died in 1476; his son Henry, died in 1489 and was succeeded by his sister Alice; in No. 282 there is reference to an Agnes Lovell, apparently a ward of Stonor. Thomas Stedolfe was a Justice in Eyre in the service of Elizabeth Woodville in 1477 (Cal. Pat. Rolls, Edw. IV, iii, 52). From A.C., xlvi, 210.
