5. Notes on Access

• The History of Parliament wording used here comes from user-supplied transcription in chat.
• The purchaser named in the History of Parliament transcription is Pembroke, meaning William Herbert, 3rd Earl of Pembroke. Philip Herbert should not be treated as the documented wardship purchaser in this packet.
• If Philip Herbert is mentioned elsewhere in connection with this packet, he should be treated as broader Pembroke-Montgomery context only. The documented wardship purchaser in the HoP wording is William Herbert, 3rd Earl of Pembroke.
• This packet preserves the biography and wardship facts only. The separate inference that he is the likely Sir Henrie Nevill of the 1619 A King and No King dedication belongs in a_king_and_no_king_1619_walkley_nevill.md, not here.
