Pollard Casts some doubt on whether Egremont actually wanted to go on pilgrimage, arguing that "no doubt he had been persuaded" to do so, as previous attempts to quieten him in the north—through French service in 1453 and imprisonment in 1456—had failed. The King and his council seem to have also concluded by now that the Percies and the Nevilles' feud in the north was the primary cause of St Albans, and their treatment of Egremont reflected that. If this was the case, notes Watts, such a policy made the mistake of ignoring the enmity between other parties, for instance, York and Somerset. The King went on his own pilgrimage to St Albans at Easter the same year.

What follows is a repetition of what has been heard before, including a fuller statement of the Trio (this time in the 'home' key of D) in which the orchestra is joined by organ as well as the two harps. The march ends, not with the big tune, but with a short section containing a brief reminder of the brisk opening march.
On 30 August 2007, Mohammed Ali's lawyer R S Bajwa submitted that his 30-year-old client was eligible for a defence of "sudden and grave provocation", saying that his dunking of Nonoi in a pail of water was a response to the incessant cries by the girl, which provoked his client. In his closing submissions, Mr Bajwa cited a British murder case in 1986, where a man was provoked into killing his 17-day-old baby due to the infant's non-stop crying and his murder conviction was substitued into one of culpable homicide not amounting to murder (or manslaughter) due to a defence of sudden and grave provocation. The lawyer said that his client's low intelligence, lack of parenting skills and bad temper were factors in favour of such a defence. "Due to the incessant crying, the accused just snapped and decided to punish the deceased to quieten her." said Mr Bajwa.
