1. Edmund, Earl of Richmond, was buried in the Church of the Grey Friars at Carmarthen, but on the suppression of the Abbey his remams were removed to the Cathedral of St. Davids. The inscription on his monument described him as 'father and brother of Kings ' (Cooper, pp. 9, l0, 1l).

2. Cf. note, p. 12. Fisher, speaking about fifty years later, said that she was only fourteen at the time of Henry's birth (and cf. Hall's Chronicle), but he also said that she was nearly nine before 1450. Possibly he confused the date of her marriage with that of her son's birth.

3. Bernard Andre, Vita Henrici Septimi, p. 14. Cf. Shakespeare, third part of King Henry VI, Act IV, sc. vi, where Richmond is presented to Henry VI by the Duke of Somerset.
