    Richard Bulstrode, sun of William, was servant to Margaret wife of Henry VI., and after was controller of prince Edward's house, sun to Edward IV., as appeerethe by bills signed my him under that name, now in my brother Bulstrode's hand. I conceive that he, being a man plausible, could well tell how to change his service from queen Margaret to prince Edward, and therfore I gesse he chose the poesye now standing in the windowes at Hedgley, "Do to please" and "Fac placere." See the prince's armes in the window.
    Richard maryed the daughter and heir of on Knif of Buckinghamshire, by whome he had the enheritance also of Wyot, Clopton, Thorn, being landes of good value about Horton, Colbrook, Langly, and other townes thearabouts in Bukinghamshire.
