Hannes Kleineke, Euan C. Roger

• Baldwin Hyde, who served as clerk of the parliaments in the assembly held during Henry VI's brief restoration in 1470-1, has traditionally been thought to have been a party-political appointee, who displaced his long-serving predecessor. This article presents new evidence based on an analysis of Hyde's career, that suggests that far from being a placeman, he may, in fact, have been Faukes's own choice of successor.
