316. HAVARD TO SIR WILLIAM STONOR 4 JUNE [? 1482]

There is no indication as to who Havard was, or who was his master. The reference to my lord Prince rather favours the latest date possible, i.e. 1482. As in some other letters (cf. Nos. 310, 311) which belong to this year there is a suggestion of political opposition to the Duke of Gloucester. Sir Richard Ludlow was a J.P. for Shropshire, and under-constable of Wallingford Castle (Early Chancery Proceedings, 66/412). There is a very remarkable paraph to the signature of this letter. From A.C., xlvi, 170.

Right worshipful and my special good maister, I recommaunde me unto you: and like it you to understande Maister Coytesmore have ben in my lord princes presence, and he came thider þe sonner because of þe bill þat ye sent to my maister. Natwithstanding, as I sent your maistership knowlege by Lentall youre servaunt, my maister was en|fourmed þat at your last being here ye broght letters unto my lord Rivers from Syre Richard Ludlowe ayeinst my maister in þe mater of Walingford: and wher as I sent you knowlege þerof by your saide ser|vaunt, and þat ye wolde nat sende me an aunswer by your servaunt, þe berer herof, whether ye brought þe saide letters or not, I mervaile: yef your maistership had sende me worde, I wolde have shewed unto my maister þe playnesse, soo as I trust my maister may lay none unkyndenes unto you. Your saide servaunt, þe berer herof, can enfourme you
