This Elizabeth Paston seems incorrect.

According to The Paston Letters ed Norman Davis

One Elizabeth Paston, d/o William & Agnes Berry, was born in 1429 and married as her second husband Sir George Browne in c1471. Not possible if she was born in 1480 and he in 1472.

Another Elizabeth was d/o of William and Ann Beaufort but she married John Saville & Richard Hastings and was born in 1460,

Is this a younger sister or a mistake?

In any case the marriage to George Browne must be an error if her birth and death dates are correct. (8 Years old at death) so I've detached him for now and may merge her into her 'sister' soon.

Clay, JW: The Savile Family, page 11. link There is an Inquisition, very dilapidated. Mar. 1st, Alice, daughter of William Vernon, Esq., died s.p.; mar. 2ly, Elizabeth, daughter of Sir William Paston, Knt., by Jane daughter and coheiress of Edmund Beaufort, Duke of Somerset who was slain at the battle of St. Albans, 1455, and cousin german to the Countess of Richmond, mother of King Henry VII. Mr. Hunter calls this the most splendid marriage of any of the earlier Saviles, as the son was thus a partaker of the royal blood.

• http://midgleywebpages.com/alice_de_laci.html THE ROYAL BLOODED PASTONS MARRY INTO THE SAVILES. By the late 1400's Elizabeth Paston of Paston, Norfolk, married Sir John Savile of Thornhill, Yorkshire. As Joseph Hunter remarked, "The most splendid marriage of any of the earlier Saviles, as the son [Henry] was thus a partaker of royal blood". Until now this connection between the Savile-Butler clan and the Paston's seems to have gone unnoticed by Robyn Hode researchers. The importance of this filial connection lies in the opportunity such a conduit offered for the spread of the Robyn Hode ballad[s] from Yorkshire into the English county of Norfolk. Elizabeth Paston's marriage to John Savile, sheriff of Yorkshire, thus brought royal blood to the Saviles. This descended from Edward III's son, John of Gaunt [Plantagenet], who had married thirdly Katherine Swynford, sister in law to Geoffrey Chaucer. From the Gaunt - Swynford union descended the Beaufort lines which were forfeited from the crown but produced Anne Beaufort who married William Paston, the father of the above Elizabeth Paston. The other Beaufort line was legitimised over King Richard III Plantagenet in 1485 at Bosworth Field by Henry Tudor [later the Henry VII of England]. With the Savile marriage would come family traditions of balladry and minstrelsy, their stories of Margaret De Savile, the prioress of Kirklees, the Church at York and fanciful stories of their cousin, Robert III Butler of Skelbrooke. Today Rouge Croix Pursuivant, Henry Bedingfield, retains the name Paston.
