belonged to the Radcliff, or Ratcliff, family, afterwards Earls of Sussex; but it seems
there was another lordship which belonged to John de Mauteby in the ninth year of
Edward II. From this very likely Margaret Paston derived some claims, and John
Paston through his wife. See No. 634. The year of this letter, however, cannot be

The principal lordship in the manor of Thurning belonged to the Rad-
cliff, or Ratcliff, family, afterwards Earls of Sussex; but it seems there was
another lordship which belonged to John de Mauteby in the ninth year of

and John Paston through his wife. See No. 546. The year of this letter,
however, cannot be ascertained. It is No. 1079 in the Inventory at the
end of Vol. III.To my ryght trusty and welbelovyd Frend,
