Has been able to raise only 500 Almain rivets. Jerome Fryskeball's factor and John Antoyn de Lumbard had bought all they could get before Jerningham arrived. The Spaniards do the same. The Duke raises 500 spears. Has made a bargain at Milan for 5,000 rivets. Will thus save his Grace 1,£000 under the price they could be had at in England. Had written of the Duke's entry into Milan. 29 Dec. He was accompanied by the Cardinal of the Swiss [of Sion], the Bishop of Gurk [aged 45], the Viceroy of Spain, and the Swiss ambassadors. The last had promised that the keys should be delivered to him in the name of the Pope, and Emperor, the King of Aragon and the Swiss; but the Swiss would not consent. After much dispute that honor was reserved for the Swiss. The castles of Milan, Crema, and Genoa hold to the French. The Spaniards took on the 5th, from the Baron of Byarne, the castle of Trasse. The great and increasing army of the Venetians is mistrusted here, as it is rumoured that the French King and Venetians have made an agreement.

William of Worcester's Chronicle of England
William of Worcester, born around 1415, and died around 1482 was secretary to John Fastolf, the renowned soldier of the Hundred Years War, during which time he collected documents, letters, and wrote a record of events. Following their return to England in 1440 William was witness to major events. Twice in his chronicle he uses the first person: 1. when writing about the murder of Thomas, 7th Baron Scales, in 1460, he writes '… and I saw him lying naked in the cemetery near the porch of the church of St. Mary Overie in Southwark …' and 2. describing King Edward IV's entry into London in 1461 he writes '… proclaimed that all the people themselves were to recognize and acknowledge Edward as king. I was present and heard this, and immediately went down with them into the city'. William’s Chronicle is rich in detail. It is the source of much information about the Wars of the Roses, including the term 'Diabolical Marriage' to describe the marriage of Queen Elizabeth Woodville’s brother John’s marriage to Katherine, Dowager Duchess of Norfolk, he aged twenty, she sixty-five or more, and the story about a paper crown being placed in mockery on the severed head of Richard, 3rd Duke of York.
