[King].

Nature of endorsement
[None]
People mentioned
William Paston, justice of the Common Bench
[Earl of] Warwick
[Henry V, King of England]
[Catherine de Valois, Queen of England].
Note
Datable to between 1437 (the death of Catherine de Valois) and 1444 (the death of William Paston). However, Herberd's case must have continued for many years, since she is mentioned in a letter of William Paston of 1 March 1426 as being an adversary in Thornham (Paston Letters, vol. I, p.26). The 'lord of Warwick' mentioned is either Richard (d. 1439) or Henry Beauchamp, Earl of Warwick.
