page 27 note * .Dr. Miller, in his History of Doncaster, 4to. p. 46, has here appended a note stating that “this great captayn was sir Ralph Grey of York, who was taken the year 1463 by the Yorkists in the battle of Bamburgh;” but that was a distinct occurrence, which had passed seven years before, and is very incorrectly stated by Dr. Miller. Sir Ralph Grey, of Wark (not York) was captain of the castle of Bamborough for king Henry; it was taken by assault soon after the battle of Hexham in June 1464, and sir Ralph was there-upon brought to king Edward, who happened to be then at Doncaster, and forthwith beheaded. See a particular narration of these events, from a MS. in the College of Arms, in the notes to Warkworth's Chronicle, p. 36.
