William, Lord Paget,(^) till Nov. 1558 (*) Doyle (followed by Diet. Nat. Biog.) states that William, ist Marquess of Winchester was appointed Lord Privy Seal on 26 Mar. 1556, referring to State Papers Domestic of the reign of Mary, " Dom. Add. vii. 14," as his authority. A reference to the original shows that Doyle has both misunderstood and misdated it; it is correctly calendared at its true date, 26 Mar. 1554, and does not record any ap- pointment to the office of Lord Privy Seal. Bedford, the then holder, was starting on a mission to Spain at that time, and is described as " Lord Privy Seal " both during his brief absence and after his return. Winchester, as Lord Treasurer, appears to have been in natural charge of the Seal during Bedford's temporary absence, [ex inform. the Rev. A. B. Beaven). 80
