318. FRANCIS, LORD LOVELL, TO SIR WILLIAM STONOR 24 JUNE [1482]

The year is clearly 1482; Gloucester was appointed to the Scottish com|mand on 12 June of that year, and Lovell writes from Tanfield in Durham. The signature alone is autograph. From A.C., xlvi, 177.

Cousine Stoner, I commaunde me to yow as hertely as I can, latynge yow have knowledge that I intendide to have bene with the King at the feste of Seynt John Baptist now late passid, to have attende upon his good grace; bot, Cousine, it is said in this contre the King purposes to send Northwardes my lorde of Gloucestre, and my broder Parr and such other folke of worship as hath eny reule in the said northe parties, trustyng we shall have warr of the Scottes: for cause wherof, and yef I shuld as now departe Southwardes it wold be said I withdrew me for the said warre. Bot, Cousine, as hastely as I can have a convenient seasson I purpose to be in the contre. And, Cousine, I pray yow þat ye wull see þat my game be wele kept at Roderfeld. And our lorde ever more have yow in his kepinge. From Tanfeld the xxiiij^th day of Juyn.

ffraunceys Louell.

To my Cousine William Stonor, knight.

319. QUEEN ELIZABETH WOODVILLE TO SIR WILLIAM STONOR 1 AUGUST [1482]

Comparison with the next letter, and with No. 313, which show that Stonor was out of favour with the Queen, suggests that 1482 is a likely year. This letter can hardly belong to the same time as No. 293. The signature is autograph. From A.C., xlvi, 151.

By the Quene.

Trusty and welbeloved, we grete you wel: and where as we under|stand by report made unto us at this tyme that ye have taken upon yow now of late to make maistries withynne our fforest and Chace of
