WILL OF EDMUND STONOR

? 1475

 

    From the reference to "the tyme that I cum ayene" it seems likely that
this is a Will made before Edmund Stonor went to France in 1475 (see No.
152). "Barowyscott" or Buscot belonged to him under his father's will
(No. 137). For Weylond, see p. 169. Denyun of Northend may be the
person mentioned in No. 105. The Will is holograph and the signature is
similar to that in Nos. 155 and 156. From Ch. Misc. iv. 58.

     2 The original has "pro cap. po"; the above seems to be the most probable ex-
pansion.
