明史卷三百 列传第一百八十八:
周能,字廷举,昌平人。女为英宗妃,生宪宗,是为孝肃皇太后。英宗复位,授能锦衣卫千户,赐赍甚渥。能卒,长子寿嗣职。宪宗践阼,擢左府都督同知。成化三年封庆云伯,赠能庆云侯。寿以太后弟,颇恣横。时方禁勋戚请乞庄田,寿独冒禁乞通州田六十二顷,不得已与之。尝奉使,道吕梁洪,多挟商艘。主事谢敬不可,寿与哄,且劾之,敬坐落阳。十七年进侯,子弟同日授锦衣官者七人,能追赠太傅、宁国公,谥荣靖。孝宗立,寿加太保。时寿所赐庄田甚多,其在宝坻者已五百顷,又欲得其余七百余顷,诡言以私财相易。部劾其贪求无厌,执不许,孝宗竟许之。又与建昌侯张延龄争田,两家奴相殴,交章上闻。又数挠盐法,侵公家利,有司厌苦之。十六年加太傅,弟长宁伯彧亦加太保,兄弟并为侯伯,位三公,前此未有也。武宗立,汰传奉官,寿子侄八人在汰中,寿上章乞留,从之。正德四年卒,赠宣国公,谥恭和。
子瑛嗣,封殖过于父。嘉靖中,于河西务设肆邀商货,虐市民,亏国课,为巡按御史所劾,停禄三月。而瑛怙恶如故,又为主事翁万达所劾,诏革其廛肆,下家人于法司。时已革外戚世爵,瑛卒,遂不得嗣。
