  • Description: Enclosed is the copy of an indenture which sometime since came into my possession, and which is not to be found either in Rymer's Fœdera, or any other work. It is an agreement between king Edward the IVth, and William Lord Hastings, Master of the Mint, respecting the regulation of the coinage in the Tower of London. It is dated March the 2d, in the 8th year of the king's reign, being the year 1469. The steady attachment of Sir William de Hastings to the house of York, the gratitude evinced by his king in return for that attachment, and the murder of this unfortunate nobleman by order of the tyrant Richard the IIId, are too well known to be here repeated.
