This last entry is by a second hand; but at folio 73 of the same MS. we meet with a more correct notice of this Princess's [Bridget York] birth, to which is added the ceremonial of her Christening, and as it is short, and has never been noticed, I shall transcribe it here.

It must be remarked, that the above memoranda confirm the order of the births of King Edward's children, as stated by Mr. Nicolas, and prove Sandford to have been mistaken. The name of George of Shrewsbury, the third son of Edward, is omitted, and the date of his birth is unknown; but on making an excavation in St. George's Chapel, at Windsor, in 1810, his body was found in a leaden coffin, and an inscription, partly obliterated, which fixes his death to March, 1473. Lysons's Berksh. p. 471.
