The mayor and sheriffs mentioned in the text and in the copy in the Cottonian MS., as having served those offices in the 14th Hen. IV., are in the latter also assigned to the 1st Hen. V.; whilst the mayor and sheriffs stated in the text to have served in the 1st Hen. V., are in the latter attributed to the 2nd year of that monarch's reign. But there is manifestly much confusion respecting the year of the king's reign in which the events occurred, in the copy from which the text has been taken, and which will again be alluded to in a future note. NOTE DD. page 96. The copy in the Cottonian MS. adds, "And were put in his owne sepulture that he made himself, with quene Anne his wiffe." This is the only circumstance mentioned under the 1st Hen. V. in that MS.: and under the 2nd Hen. V., the transactions concerning Sir John Oldcastle &c., which in the text are stated to have occurred in the preceding year, are related. NOTE EE. page 99. In the Cottonian MS. under the _third_ year of Hen. V., and when the mayor and sheriffs mentioned in the text as serving in the 2nd Hen. V. are stated to have held those offices, the king's expedition is properly noticed. This error cannot be explained in any other manner than by attributing it to the transcriber; for it is notorious that Henry quitted England, besieged and captured Harfleur, and fought the battle of Agincourt, in the _third_ year of his reign. The account of that expedition is so differently related from that in the text, that it is here given at length.
