FOrasmuche
moost
benyng
reader
,
as
this
former
autour
Ihon
Hardyng
,
wrote
no
ferther
then
to
kyng
Edward
the
fourth
:
in
whose
dayes
it
should
apere
that
he
departed
out
of
this
world
:
&
also
consideryng
the
length
of
the
tyme
sence
,
and
the
manifolde
goodly
historyes
,
battailles
,
decres
and
statutes
with
the
discent
and
lyne
of
the
kynges
of
England
sence
that
tyme
,
I
thought
it
not
onely
my
dutie
to
labour
that
knowledge
of
the
same
historyes
to
th
entent
to
adioyne
&
annexe
the

herunto
,
but
also
it
should
bee
a
greate
offence
in
me
to
suffre
you
to
bee
depriued
of
so
many
fruitefull
&
necessarie
thynges
.
Wherfore
I
haue
here
to
the
vttermost
of

gathered

set
foorth
vnto
you
the
said
histories
not
in

,
like
as
Iohn

hath
dooen
before

partely
because
I
would
therby
declare
a
dyfference
betwene
the
former
wrytyng
of
Iohn
Hardyng
and
this
my
addicion
,
but
specially
,
that
these
excellent
storyes
should
nether
in
sence
ner
woordes
bee
defaced
of
the
eloquence
and
greate
grace
that
the

of

haue
all
readie
geuen
theim
,
and
therfore
haue
I
wrytten
theim
vnto
you
in

at

¶
Edward
the
fourth
.
AFTER
TAHT
EDWARD
had
vanquished
&
put
to
flight
Henry
the
sixte
,
beyng
then
verie
ioious
and
proude
(
partely
thorowe
that
victorie
that
he
had
gotten
and
partely
for
that
the
commons
began
to
cleaue
vnto
hym
and
to
take
his
parte
,
and
lykewise
did
the
states
of
the
realme
)
then
departed
he
with
all
conuenyent
spede
to
London
,
and
ther
assemblyng
his
counsaill
together
,
was
shortely
after
proclaimed
kyng
at
Westminster
that
nyne
and
twenty
daye
of
Iune
and
was
called
Edward
the
fourth
of
that
name
after
Wyllyam
the
conquerour
,
and
this
was
in
the
yere
of
Christ
his
incarnacion
a
thousand
foure
hundred
three
score
and
one
.
And
the
self
same
yere
kyng
Edward
held
The
first
yere
.
his
parliament
again
,
in
the
whiche
,
first
the
realme
was
sette
in
good
ordre
,
and
all
thynges
wholy
redressed
,
whiche
was
very
good
&
expedient
for
the
commen
weale
,
for
that
it
had
not
been
looked
to
all
the
tyme
that
ciuile
battaill
did
continue
.
And
also
thorowe
his
decree
&
will
,
all
the
statutes
that
kyng
Henry
that
sixt
had
made
,
was
vtterly
abrogated
&
of
no
vertue
or
strength
,
finally
his
twoo
brethren
that
wer
younger
then
he
,
George
was
made
duke
of
Clarence
,
and
Rychard
duke
of
Gloucestre
,
and
Iohn
the
brother
of
Rychard
Erle
of
Warwike
,
was
made
marques
Montacute
,
and
Henry
Burchire
the
brother
of
Thomas
bishop
of
Caunturbury
erle
of
Essex
,
and
Wyllyam
Faucounbridge
erle
of
Kent
,
&
this
Henry
Burchire
beeyng
a
noble
manne
&
moost
puissaunte
in
feactes
of
warre
had
gyuen
hym
to
mariage
the
suster
of
Rychard
duke
of
Yorke
,
called
Elizabeth
.
And
for
this
cause
chiefely
,
that
the
said
Rychard
might
haue
his
assistaunce
and
helpe
of
hym
in
all
maner
of
aduersitie
that
should
chaunce
,
either
by
battaill
or
other
wise
and
that
he
did
,
after
that
kyng
Edward
the
soonne
of
the
same
Rychard
had
made
hym
erle
of
Esser
,
tothend
that
bothe
the
father
&
the
soone
might
at
all
tymes
bee
a
sure
fortresse
and
defence
for
hym
And
he
had
begotten
of
this
Elizabeth
in
laufull
mariage
foure
menne
children
,
that
is
to
saie
,
Wyllyam
,
Thomas
,
Iohn
,
and
Henry
,
and
one
doughter
called
Isabell
,
the
whiche
liued
but
a
shorte
space
,
the
whiche
soonnes
vsed
greate
diligence
in
bryngyng
matters
to
passe
,
&
in
weightie
affaires
and
busynes
very
laborious
,
in
aduentures
and
ieoperdies
manly
and
bold
,
and
in
forseyng
thynges
very
circumspect
,
but
specially
Wyllyam
the
eldest
had
all
these
qualities
.
This
Wylliam
maried
Anne
a
mayden
discendyng
of
high
parentage
and
of
moost
pure
virginitie
,
the
doughter
of
Iames
Lussheburne
erle
of
sainct
Paule
,
by
whome
he
had
Henry
nowe
erle
of
Essex
,
also
Cicile
and
Isabell
doughters
,
the
whiche
Isabell
died
before
she
was
ripe
to
mariage
,
and
that
other
was
maried
to
Walter
Ferryse
.
But
to
come
to
that
I
spake
in
the
begynnyng
.
When
all
thynges
chaunsed
thus
luckely
to
Edward
,
and
that
all
was
as
he
would
haue
it
,
Henry
the
duke
of
Somerset
fearyng
that
kyng
Howe
Henry
that
duke
of
Somersette
lefte
kyng
Henry
the
.vi.
and
fled
to
kyng
Edward
and
after
repented
&
fled
againe
to
Henry
the
.vi.
Henry
should
goo
to
wracke
,
and
take
the
woorse
,
fled
to
kyng
Edward
,
of
whome
he
was
after
the
moost
gentle
sorte
intertayned
,
but
sone
after
it
repented
hym
of
his
deede
,
for
in
the
meane
season
kyng
Henry
had
gotte
a
greate
power
of
Scotish
menne
,
&
vnwittyng
to
Edward
gat
Duresme
,
the
whiche
thyng
after
hearde
,
the
duke
of
Somerset
fled
priuely
to
hym
,
with
a
greate
compaign●e
of
that
kyng
his
frendes
folowyng
after
,
and
so
many
for
desire
of
lucre
and
vauntage
did
turne
to
hym
,
that
Henry
was
thought
to
haue
as
greate
an
armie
as
his
enemie
had
.
The
whiche
armie
he
made
menne
thynke
to
bee
the
greater
for
that
he
did
spoile
and
destroye
townes
and
feldes
where
soeuer
he
came
,
&
so
by
long
burnyng
and
wastyng
he
came
to
a
village
called
Exham
,
where
as
he
buckeled
The
discomfitur
of
Henry
the
sixt
.
with
Iohn
marques
Montacute
whome
he
mette
there
,
and
there
fightyng
very
sharpely
,
as
often
tymes
it
had
chaunsed
before
,
was
putte
to
flight
,
losyng
the
greatest
noumbre
of
his
hoost
,
&
he
hymself
with
a
fewe
ino
,
went
in
all
the
hast
to
Scotland
,
and
the
residue
fled
,
some
one
waye
and
some
an
other
to
saue
their
liues
.
Ther
was
taken
there
prisoners
,
Henry
duke
of
Somerset
,
Robert
duke
of
Hungerforde
,
and
Thomas
Rosse
,
the
whiche
duke
of
Somerset
was
putte
to
death
by
and
by
The
duke
of
Somerset
taken
&
beheded
for
that
he
had
chaunged
his
mynde
so
sone
and
went
to
the
other
partie
,
the
other
were
had
to
Newe
castell
,
and
ther
beyng
for
a
season
were
putte
to
death
in
like
maner
,
wherby
other
should
haue
no
trust
of
any
victorie
,
when
their
capitaines
were
dedde
&
gone
.
Albeit
kyng
Edward
nowe
might
thynke
all
thynges
to
be
wel
,
and
him selfe
strong
enough
agaynst
the
power
of
hys
enemy
for
that
he
had
gotte
suche
a
vyctorye
,
yet
dyd
he
wyth
all
dylygence
prouyde
that
Margarete
kynge
Henrye
the
.vi.
hys
wife
,
shulde
at
no
hande
be
let
into
Englande
for
feare
of
wynnynge
mennes
hartes
to
her
.
Wherefore
,
he
made
bulwarkes
&
sure
for
tresses
on
euerye
parte
and
coastes
of
hys
realme
that
there
myghte
be
no
landynge
,
and
dyd
wryte
to
all
theim
of
the
southe
partes
,
that
they
shulde
in
nowyse
take
in
anye
woman
,
or
helpe
anye
,
for
yf
anye
so
dyd
,
he
shulde
be
taken
as
an
enemye
&
an
hyghe
traytoure
to
the
crowne
,
as
they
were
agaynste
whome
he
dyd
fyghte
.
And
of
that
parte
that
is
nygh
to
the
Scotish
bancke
,
he
layed
watches
,
that
none
shoulde
goo
oute
of
the
realme
to
kynge
Henrye
.
But
kynge
The
takynge
of
Henry
the
xyxte
.
Henrye
hym selfe
was
neuer
in
anye
greate
feare
whatsoeuer
chaunced
,
in
so
muche
that
he
came
in
to
England
in
a
dysguysed
apparel
,
and
then
beinge
knowen
and
taken
of
certayne
spyes
sone
after
he
had
come
in
,
was
caried
to
London
to
king
Edwarde
,
and
there
layde
in
holde
.
After
whose
attachynge
and
imprysonmente
,
the
realme
was
set
in
more
quyetnes
.
Wherfore
,
Edwarde
nowe
beynge
oute
of
all
feare
and
daunger
of
hys
enemyes
,
dyd
wholy
set
hym selfe
the
foure
yeres
after
ensuynge
to
the
reformatyon
and
redressynge
of
hys
publyke
weale
,
and
to
the
recompensynge
of
hys
souldyers
for
their
paynes
:
did
deuyde
and
geue
the
landes
of
theim
that
were
wyth
kynge
Henrye
to
hys
owne
,
and
so
wyth
geuynge
large
and
ample
rewardes
,
dyd
get
the
fauoure
of
all
hys
people
as
well
the
laye
as
the
nobles
,
and
vsynge
suche
vrbanyte
and
clemencye
to
all
kinde
of
men
,
that
he
had
throughlye
wonne
the
hartes
of
all
men
:
the
whyche
gentylnes
and
fryndely
famyliaritee
he
dyd
euer
after
vse
.
Also
as
for
the
lawes
of
the
realme
he
dyd
alter
and
mend
some
,
and
some
he
made
newe
,
besydes
that
he
coyned
monye
as
wel
golde
as
syluer
,
the
whyche
at
this
The
coynynge
of
royalles
&
nobles
.
daye
is
currante
.
The
whyche
golde
was
royals
,
and
nobles
,
and
the
syluer
,
was
grotes
,
so
that
in
hys
tyme
thys
kinde
of
coyne
came
vp
.
And
after
that
hys
realme
was
in
thys
state
he
made
a
proclamation
,
that
yf
anye
manne
beyng
a
traytoure
or
rebellyon
hertofore
to
hys
grace
,
&
wyllyng
to
submyt
hym selfe
wholy
to
hym
shuld
haue
his
pardon
,
and
other
that
wolde
not
,
shuld
die
,
and
suffer
according
to
the
lawes
.
The
which
kyndnes
and
natyue
loue
dyd
cause
hym
to
haue
the
good
wyl
and
herte
of
his
commons
,
so
much
that
it
is
euydent
,
he
was
al
the
dayes
of
hys
lyfe
a
conqueroure
,
through
the
helpe
and
ayde
of
them
in
so
much
,
that
hys
enemyes
were
euer
shamefully
put
to
wrack
,
as
it
shal
be
shewed
more
playnly
hereafter
.
And
also
not
contented
wyth
the
frendshyppe
of
hys
owne
countree
menne
,
dyd
wynne
and
procure
the
loue
of
foren
and
straunge
prynces
,
and
made
theim
to
bee
of
kynred
wyth
hym
,
whereby
that
they
myghte
,
(
yf
nede
shoulde
so
requyre
)
ayde
and
socour
him
,
or
at
the
least
,
not
bee
iniurious
or
noysome
to
hym
.
So
that
he
maried
hys
syster
lady
Margarete
,
to
Charles
the
sonne
of
Phylyppe
duke
of
Burgoyne
,
throughe
which
maryage
he
had
greate
helpe
at
the
insurrection
that
chaunsed
in
thys
his
natiue
countree
,
and
after
that
sente
Rycharde
the
erle
of
Warwyke
embassadoure
into
Fraunce
,
the
whyche
shoulde
desyre
for
hym
to
wyfe
,
a
mayden
called
Bona
,
the
syster
of
Carlotta
the
quene
of
Fraunce
,
and
the
doughter
of
Lewes
duke
of
Sauoye
,
whyche
after
dyd
marye
Iohn
Galeot
duke
of
Mylayne
,
the
whyche
busynes
dyd
cause
cyuile
battayle
to
bee
.
For
in
the
meane
tyme
that
the
earle
wente
in
to
Fraunce
,
and
had
spoken
wyth
Lewes
the
kynge
,
wyth
whom
the
ladie
Bona
was
,
and
wayted
vpon
the
quene

,
Edwarde
chaungynge
hys
mynde
,
maryed
ladye
Elyzabeth
the
doughter
of
Rycharde
the
earle
of
Ryuers
,
which
was
maryed
before
to
syr
Iohn
Gray
knyght
,
by
whome
she
had
two
chyldren
,
Thomas
and
Rycharde
,
of
the
whyche
maryage
,
for
the
humylytie
or
basenes
of
stocke
that
the
lady
was
of
,
he
wold
no
prynce
or
kynges
to
haue
knowne
of
it
,
no
not
so
muche
as
her
owne
father
Rycharde
the
earle
,
for
the
whyche
cause
,
when
it
was
blased
abrode
,
euerye
man
dyd
meruayle
greatelye
,
kynges
and
prynces
were
dyspleased
and
grudged
at
it
,
and
sayde
playnelye
,
that
it
was
not
for
hys
honoure
so
to
dooe
,
and
beganne
to
reproue
the
foresayde
maryage
shamefullye
,
and
for
that
he
was
led
rather
by
blynde
Cupyde
,
than
by
anye
reason
,
they
dyd
incessauntlye
reproue
the
same
.
And
ether
thys
was
the
cause
of
the
sedycion
whyche
afterwarde
dyd
ryse
betwyxte
kynge
Edwarde
and
the
earle
of
Warwycke
,
or
els
the
pryuie
enuye
and
malice
whiche
was
in
both
theyr
hertes
nowe
brastynge
out
,
wherby
,
an
occasion
or
quarel
might
be
picked
For
Edward
after
that
he
had
got
his
kyngdome
(
as
it
was
openly
knowne
)
by
the
erle
of
Warwykes
meane
and
helpe
,
begonne
to
suspect
hym
for
that
he
was
in
such
authoritee
,
so
that
he
woulde
haue
plucked
somewhat
frome
him
&
diminished
his
powre
,
wherby
he
myght
haue
ruled
all
thynges
at
his
owne
pleasure
both
in
hys
owne
countree
,
&
in
other
nacions
.
So
that
a
man
may
see
,
it
ofte
chaunceth
that
frendes
will
geue
very
seldome
condygne
rewarde
to
a
mans
deseruinges
,
yea
,
&
eftsones
when
a
greate
benefite
is
bestowed
or
conferred
vpon
theim
,
thei
will
like
ingrate
persons
nothyng
consider
it
.
Of
this
the
earle
of
Warwycke
was
not
vnknowing
,
the
whiche
although
he
loked
for
better
thankes
&
a
more
ample
benefite
at
his
handes
,
yet
neuertheles
,
he
thought
best
to
dissemble
and
cloke
the
matter
,
vntill
such
oportunitie
might
be
had
;
wherby
he
myght
,
considering
the
wylfulnes
of
the
kynge
exprobrate
vnto
hym
the
pleasures
that
he
had
done
for
him
.
And
it
is
verye
true
and
euident
that
king
Edward
dyd
make
serche
in
his
house
for
a
thing
that
touched
much
his
honestie
,
wher
the
earle
in
dede
was
a
man
that
loued
women
well
,
and
had
great
fantesie
to
their
company
.
But
what
soeuer
it
was
,
ether
euell
wyll
,
or
desire
of
the
empire
that
theyr
league
shuld
bee
infringed
or
broken
,
after
that
the
earle
had
sure
knowledge
by
the
letters
of
hys
frendes
that
the
king
had
got
him
a
wife
priuely
and
that
al
that
he
had
done
with
king
Lewis
in
his
embassad
for
the
ioyning
of
this
newe
affinitee
was
but
frustrate
and
in
vain
,
he
was
so
ernestly
moued
with
it
,
that
he
thought
best
that
the
kynge
shuld
be
deposed
from
the
crowne
,
and
as
one
not
worthy
of
such
a
kingly
offyce
.
But
to
oure
purpose
.
The
earle
of
Warwyke
beyng
then
sore
vexed
,
and
moued
wyth
the
kynge
,
least
that
in
this
his
furoure
hys
intent
beyng
rashely
gone
aboute
,
shulde
bee
broughte
to
no
good
ende
,
he
determined
so
longe
to
suffer
&
beare
suche
iniuries
,
vntyll
suche
tyme
that
he
myghte
brynge
his
matters
to
passe
as
he
wolde
haue
them
whiche
shortly
after
came
into
Englande
,
and
salutyng
the
kynge
,
dyd
hys
message
vnto
hym
,
makinge
hym selfe
to
bee
ignoraunte
of
that
maryage
.
And
after
that
,
the
earle
throughe
the
licence
of
the
king
went
into
his
shyre
of
Warwike
,
partly
to
take
his
pleasure
,
and
partly
for
the
preseruation
of
his
safetie
and
helth
,
whyche
was

CCCC

of

In
the
whiche
yeare
,
George
Neuell
brother
to
the
earle
was
made
archebyshoppe
of
Yorke
,
after
the
dyscease
of

Thys

and
after

had
of

thinges

the
space
of

or
.iii.
dayes
,
at
length
gettynge
meete
occasion
to
speake
of
the
kynge
and
hys
doinges
,
dyd
shewe
hys
mind
to

,
desyrynge
theim
,
by
all
the
wayes
that
he
coulde
possyble
,
to
take
kynge
Henry
hys
part
and
to
helpe
him
to
the

,
saiynge
after
this
wyse
and
maner
.
Brethren
,
it
is
not
of
anye
lyghtenes
of
mynde
,
but
of
playne
iudgemente
that
I
am
moued
to
speake
of
kynge
Edward
and
king
Henrye
.
Thys
Henrye
is
a
very
godlye
manne
,
and
loueth
theim
that
bee
hys
faythfull
subiectes
and
doth
consyder
also
who
taketh
paynes
for
him
whyche
hathe
a
soonne
borne
by
nature
to
bee
of
greate
worthynes
,
prayse
and
free
lyberalitee
,
by
whome
euerye
manne
maye
perceaue
muche
god
lynes
,
whyche
helpeth
hys
father
nowe
beynge
in
thraldome
and
captiuitee
as
muche
as
in
hym
lyeth
.
And
as
for
kynge
Edwarde
,
he
is
a
man
full
of
contumelye
,
and
ingratytude
,
geuen
all
to
pleasure
,
euell
wyllynge
to
take
anye
paynes
,
and
promotynge
rather
theim
that
come
of
nought
,
than
noble
and
auncient
men
.
Wherefore
I
thyncke
it
wyll
come
to
passe
shortlye
,
that
eyther
he
wyll
destroye
all
nobilitee
,
or
elles
nobilitee
destroye
him
But
before
al
other
,
we
shulde
fyrste
enterprise
to
reuenge
oure
cause
whych
haue
fyrste
taken
hurt
at
hys
handes
.
For
he
(
as
I
am
sure
you
knowe
it
bothe
)
after
that
he
was
kynge
dyd
fyrste
pryuelye
gooe
aboute
to
defyle
oure
dygnitee
,
and
then
after
dyd
openly
intende
our
confusyon
and
losse
of
honoure
,
as
thoughe
he
was
not
broughte
to
that
dygnitee
by
vs
,
and
not
we
by
hym
,
and
therfore
euen
now
of
late
when
I
went
ambassadour
to
Fraunce
I
was
had
in
no
regard
,
whereby
the
estimation
whiche
all
kynges
haue
conceaued
of
vs
,
partely
gotten
by
our
auncetours
,
&
partly
by
our
owne
trauailes
&
peines
,
shal
nowe
be
extynguished
vtterly
,
&
nothinge
sette
by
.
And
by
these
ꝑsuacions
he
wonne
his
brother
the
archebishoppe
his
hert
,
&
brought
him
to
be
of
his
minde
,
but
he
could
not
so
sone
nor
easelye
persuade
the
Lorde
Marques
,
for
at
that
first
he
would
by
no
meanes
be
moued
to
worke
treason
at
any
hand
against
kyng
Edward
,
but
at
the
last
when
the
earle
had
promysed
him
the
helpe
&
powre
of
many
noble
prynces
he
was
contented
to
kepe
warre
.
The
which
Marques
as
he
was
vnwilling
to
consent
to
this
at
that
fyrst
,
so
dyd
he
at
the
time
of
warre
holde
more
of
king
Edwardes
side
than
king
Henryes
,
as
it
shal
appere
more
plain
hereafter
,
the
which
was
both
destruccion
to
him
,
&
his
.ii.
brethren
.
After
this
the
earle
of
Warwike
a
man
of
greate
wytte
perceauing
George
the
duke
of
Clarence
,
brother
to
king
Edward
,
to
beare
no
great
good
wyl
toward
his
brother
that
king
,
what
so
euer
the
matter
was
,
first
to
proue
hym
and
to
knowe
his
minde
,
beganne
to
complain
a
lytle
of
the
king
his
doinges
,
then
after
that
the
duke
was
in
the
same
tale
wyth
hym
again
,
&
shewed
him
also
what
iniuries
he
had
taken
at
his
brothers
hand
:
he
beyng
somwhat
bolder
to
speake
,
brake
his
mynde
more
at
large
desiring
him
to
folow
his
councel
,
&
that
he
should
not
think
this
to
be
done
of
any
rashnes
,
shewed
hym
how
warely
through
his
pollicie
all
his
matters
were
wroughte
,
&
desired
him
,
that
he
would
cast
with
him selfe
how
to
bring
such
a
weyghtie
matter
to
passe
,
wherby
al
thinges
may
be
prouided
before
hand
,
to
whom
after
many
great
promises
,
he
offered
his
daughter
then
of
ripe
age
,
to
be
maried
to
him
,
The
duke
throughe
the
councell
and
greate
desieryng
of
th
erle
of
Warwike
was
contented
to
dooe
all
thynges
as
he
would
haue
hym
.
After
that
th
erle
had
this
communicacion
with
the
duke
,
he
purposed
to
goo
to
Caleis
,
of
the
whiche
toune
he
was
then
chief
capitain
,
and
wher
his
wife
and
doughters
wer
then
inhabityng
,
but
to
th
end
that
this
sedicion
might
bee
the
soner
begonne
,
where
with
all
England
was
sore
troubled
a
greate
tyme
,
he
had
apoin●ted
that
sone
after
he
was
gone
to
Caleis
his
brother
th
archebishop
,
&
the
lord
marques
should
make
an
insurreccion
in
Yorke
,
wherby
the
battaill
might
bee
begonne
while
he
was
so
farre
frome
theim
.
When
all
these
thynges
were
prepared
for
,
and
his
counsaill
well
alowed
and
taken
,
he
went
streight
with
that
duke
of
Clarence
to
Caleys
.
And
ther
after
that
the
duke
had
promised
by
an
othe
that
he
would
euer
bee
true
,
he
maried
lady
Isabell
the
erles
eldest
doughter
,
that
whiche
when
it
was
dooen
,
thei
bothe
consulted
together
that
more
spedily
,
for
that
that
insurreccion
was
made
in
Yorke
as
it
was
commaunded
and
appoincted
.
The
whiche
compaignie
begonne
first
to
spoile
with
out
all
mercie
or
respect
of
any
thyng
.
For
ther
was
at
Yorke
an
old
and
a
riche
hospitall
of
sainct
Leonard
,
where
the
poore
and
impotent
persones
wer
harboured
,
&
the
sicke
menne
comforted
,
and
this
hous
was
founde
of
that
charitee
of
the
countree
,
whiche
did
geue
yerely
certain
of
wheate
,
as
that
first
fruites
of
all
their
corne
to
the
sustenaunce
and
mainteynyng
of
theim
,
to
the
whiche
noumbre
of
grayne
certain
housband
menne
of
the
countree
did
refuse
to
gyue
any
part
through
the
counsaill
of
th
erle
of
Warwikes
compaignie
,
saiyng
plainly
that
the
poore
and
sickely
people
had
it
not
,
but
thei
that
had
that
rule
and
gouernaunce
of
the
hous
,
and
after
that
the
procters
of
the
hospitall
claimyng
it
as
dewe
vnto
theim
,
sought
for
their
right
.
And
for
that
cause
greate
tumulte
was
and
muche
conspiracie
made
,
so
that
within
fewe
dayes
,
there
was
gathered
aboute
a
fiftene
thousand
,
whiche
compaignie
came
towardes
Yorke
.
But
after
that
it
was
knowne
in
the
citee
that
suche
a
compaignie
of
menne
had
risen
,
the
citizens
watchyng
euer
for
feare
,
was
in
doubte
whether
thei
should
mete
theim
and
trie
it
in
open
felde
,
or
tary
in
the
citee
and
kepe
theim
frome
the
walles
.
But
the
lord
Marques
chief
of
that
countre
did
put
theim
streight
out
of
all
feare
and
doubte
,
the
whiche
takyng
good
deliberacion
and
aduisement
,
metre
theim
cummyng
at
the
gates
of
that
citee
where
after
a
sharpe
conflicte
,
he
tooke
Robert
Hulderne
duke
,
and
by
and
by
chopped
of
his
hedde
,
the
whiche
when
he
had
dooen
,
he
receiued
into
the
citee
at
the
midde
night
all
his
souldiours
that
wer
there
.
The
people
beyng
nothyng
abashed
at
the
death
of
their
capitain
,
but
rather
the
more
eger
&
fearce
,
consideryng
that
thei
could
not
ouercome
Yorke
,
without
ordinaunce
whiche
thei
lacked
,
went
streight
forth
to
London
.
And
as
for
that
the
lord
marques
putte
to
death
that
duke
and
capitain
of
that
commons
,
beyng
also
one
of
his
conspiracie
,
did
it
for
this
intent
,
that
either
he
would
not
bee
aknowen
faultie
of
this
commocion
,
or
els
that
he
had
vtterly
determined
to
holde
with
kyng
Edward
,
of
whom
as
it
dooeth
after
appere
,
he
did
get
perfect
amitie
but
after
the
kyng
knewe
the
mynd
and
purpose
bothe
of
th
erle
of
Warwike
and
the
duke
of
Clarence
his
owne
brother
,
&
also
certefied
by
dyuerse
mennes
letters
that
the
armie
was
drawyng
nigh
to
London
,
he
sent
by
and
by
Wyllyam
Harberte
whome
he
made
twoo
yeres
before
duke
,
with
a
greate
power
of
Walshe
menne
,
commaundyng
hym
if
he
could
conueniently
,
bydde
battaill
to
his
enemies
.
The
erle
makyng
hast
towardes
Northampton
,
hard
saie
that
the
Northrenmenne
had
gotte
it
,
where
also
he
sette
his
tentes
,
and
the
next
daye
folowyng
fought
with
theim
,
in
the
whiche
battaill
he
was
putte
to
flight
in
a
moment
and
cleane
discomfited
.
The
Yorkeshire
menne
beyng
glad
of
this
victorie
,
wer
streight
couled
&
went
no
ferder
,
but
hauyng
their
handes
full
of
spoyles
&
prayes
went
backe
ward
again
,
lookyng
when
the
erle
of
Warwike
would
come
,
the
whiche
shortely
after
came
from
Calais
with
the
duke
of
Clarence
his
soonne
in
lawe
to
the
hoost
,
&
commendyng
highly
the
capitaines
,
and
reioisyng
gladly
that
thei
had
the
victorie
,
did
spedyly
prepare
an
other
armie
.
Yet
kyng
Edward
beeyng
nothyng
abashed
that
th
erle
of
Pēbruch
had
so
eiuill
sped
,
sent
hym
forth
again
with
a
greater
armie
,
whiche
he
had
readie
at
all
tymes
what
so
euer
should
chaunce
,
&
he
hym self
he
did
folowe
with
a
small
compaignie
,
and
that
he
might
bee
readier
for
all
thynges
,
in
his
iourneye
did
encrease
his
armie
with
many
that
came
to
hym
of
his
secte
,
saiyng
that
his
entent
was
to
destroie
that
route
of
misliuers
and
flagicious
persones
,
and
then
th
erle
of
Warwike
perceauyng
that
his
aduersaries
came
vpon
hym
,
sent
in
all
the
hast
to
the
duke
of
Clarence
whiche
was
nigh
by
hym
with
an
hoost
that
he
would
bryng
his
armie
in
all
the
hast
to
hym
,
meanyng
that
bataill
was
at
hand
.
The
duke
when
he
hard
it
,
came
streight
to
ther●e
.
So
thei
bothe
commyng
together
went
to
Banberie
,
where
thei
perceaued
their
enemyes
tentes
wer
pitched
,
&
there
buckelyng
together
,
tooke
the
erle
o●
Penbruch
prisoner
,
and
killed
and
discomfited
all
his
menne
,
and
emonges
other
of
his
nobles

was
killed
Rychard
the
erle
of
Ryuers

And
towardes
euenyng
kyng
Edward
drewe

,
and
heryng
of
the
death
and
soden
betyng
doune
of
his
menne
,
taried
at
a
toune
fiue
myle
frome
that
place
.
Th
erle
of
Warwike
went
to
his
chief
toune
with
all
his
hoost
,
and
there
within
twoo
dayes
caused
th
erle
of
Pēbruch
with
certain
other
states
taken
at
that
tyme
,
to
bee
behedded
.
In
the
meane
season
there
begonne
awaie
to
bee
found
for
peace
,
for
the
whiche
,
letters
wer
wrytten
too
and
fro
,
&
herauldes
sent
from
the
kyng
to
th
erle
,
and
frome
the
erle
to
the
kyng
again
,
wherby
the
kyng
trustyng
verely
that
all
was
pacified
,
was
lesse
ware
of
hym self
,
and
feared
lesse
his
aduersaries
,
the
whiche
thyng
when
it
was
knowen
,
and
shewed
to
the
erle
by
certain
spies
:
he
went
furth
in
a
night
as
priuely
as
he
could
with
a
strong
power
to
the
kyng
his
tentes
,
&
ther
killyng
theim
that
kepte
watche
,
tooke
the
kyng
vnware
,
&
brought
hym
to
Warwike
,
and
to
the
entent
the
kyng
his
frendes
might
not
knowe
wher
he
was
,
conueighed
hym
priuely
from
thens
in
the
night
to
a
toune
in
Yorkeshire
called
Middelame
,
and
there
to
bee
kepte
fast
in
hold
.
But
yet
the
kyng
could
bee
in
no
place
nor
prisone
but
that
shortely
it
was
knowen
,
the
whiche
caused
many
menne
to
bee
sorie
,
&
lament
his
chaunce
.
But
he
hym self
after
that
he
was
in
prisone
,
spake
faire
to
the
kepers
of
the
castell
,
and
with
muche
intreatyng
and
greate
promises
made
,
did
so
tempte
and
corrupt
theim
,
that
he
was
dimissed
,
althoughe
the
rumour
was
that
the
erle
was
willyng
to
it
,
the
whiche
might
bee
of
likelyhood
,
if
th
erle
had
gyuen
ouer
fightyng
,
but
suche
was
that
eiuill
fortune
of
kyng
Henry
,
wherby
a
manne
maye
perceiue
that
he
could
neuer
haue
his
purpose
,
seyng
mannes
strength
nor
policie
is
not
able
to
ouercome
,
for
th
erle
with
all
his
frendes
did
ventre
their
bodyes
,
and
spent
their
substaunce
to
haue
brought
Henry
to
the
royall
dignitee
,
for
because
he
knewe
suerly
,
that
as
long
as
Edward
reigned
,
neither
could
he
nor
yet
kyng
Henry
beare
any
rule
.
And
yet
neuerthelesse
thei
lette
hym
goo
when
he
was
in
holde
,
&
when
kyng
Edward
was
deliuered
,
he
went
streight
to
Yorke
,
and
there
beyng
honorably
receiued
of
his
citezens
,
taried
for
the
space
of
twoo
dayes
to
gette
hym
an
hoost
of
menne
,
but
when
he
could
not
haue
a
worthy
compaignie
,
consideryng
that
he
should
goo
to
London
emong
the
middest
of
his
hoost
,
went
frome
Yorke
to
Lancastre
,
&
there
found
Wyllyam
Hastynges
lord
chamberlain
,
of
whom
he
hauyng
greate
helpe
came
safe
to
London
.
But
th
erle
of
Warwike
and
the
duke
,
after
thei
had
perceiued
kyng
Edward
to
bee
deliuered
throughe
the
meanes
of
false
trai
tours
,
&
that
all
thynges
that
thei
had
appoincted
was
to
none
effecte
,
was
greately
moued
with
anger
and
sorowe
,
and
by
and
by
callyng
together
all
their
chief
frendes
,
consulted
howe
thei
might
begynne
battaill
again
,
the
whiche
when
the
kyng
was
taken
and
in
hold
,
was
ended
and
dooen
.
And
thus
dooyng
,
there
was
certain
that
for
veray
angre
and
for
the
loue
that
thei
had
to
warre
,
offred
theim selfes
to
fight
of
freshe
for
nothyng
,
that
whiche
moued
the
chief
capitaines
to
be
the
more
earnest
.
Also
kyng
Edward
was
as
wyllyng
to
fight
as
thei
were
,
wherby
he
might
either
bryng
theim
by
force
of
armes
to
quietnes
&
peace
,
or
els
destroy
and
kylle
theim
euery
mother
soonne
,
that
the
realme
might
bee
in
〈…〉
tter
state
.
For
thorowe
their
sedicious
rebellyng
,
the
people
wer
greately
impouerished
,
seyng
that
the
churche●
and
houses
of
menne
were
spoiled
and
●obbed
,
and
menne
s●ain
in
euery
place
,
the

also
destroyed
that
was
of
the

,
and
many
other
mischiefes
dooen
the
whiche
dooe
chaunce
eftsons
in
battaill
The
consideracion
wherof
,
it
piti●d
many
menne
to
see
the
commen
weale
in
that
case
,
the
whiche
went
dayly
and
hourely
aswell
to
th
erle
as
to
the
kyng
for
atonement
,
desieryng
&
counselyng
theim
bothe
that
thei
would
rather
kepe
peace
&
haue
the
loue
of
all
menne
for
their
quiet
lyuyng
,
then
to
liue
in
angre
and
enuie
,
fightyng
one
with
an
other
to
that
vndooyng
of
all
the
realme
,
wher
as
it
wer
a
wicked
deede
to
kylle
the
father
,
but
yet
a
greate
dele
more
wicked
to
destroye
the
whole
bodie
of
the
commen
weale
,
whiche
is
the
father
of
all
menne
,
and
by
the
whiche
euery
manne
is
maynteyned
&
kept
.
By
this
greate
entreatyng
of
noble
menne
th
erle
and
the
kyng
gyuyng
feyth
one
to
an
other
peace
was
had
for
a
tyme
,
wherein
the
erle
and
the
duke
went
bothe
to
London
with
a
small
compaignie
of
menne
in
comparison
to
the
daunger
that
thei
wer
in
,
and
at
Westminster
was
with
the
kyng
for
the
reformacion
and
stablishyng
of
all
thynges
and
for
peace
to
bee
had
,
wher
the
kyng
and
thei
beeyng
at
greate
woordes
,
nothyng
was
determyned
or
ended
.
Therfore
the
kyng
for
the
vowe
that
he
had
made
,
departed
and
said
lytle
,
and
the
erle
with
the
duke
also
went
to
Warwike
,
and
in
Lyncolne
shire
gotte
vp
a
newe
hoost
,
and
made
sir
Robert
Welles
the
soonne
of
Rychard
Welles
graunde
capitain
,
a
noble
manne
of
warre
.
These
tydynges
commyng
to
London
,
moued
the
kyng
veray
sore
,
whome
he
thought
would
rather
haue
kepte
peace
than
warre
,
but
the
more
that
it
was
shewed
to
hym
vnlokyng
for
it
,
that
battaill
was
at
hande
,
with
so
muche
that
sooner
&
more
spede
he
gathered
an
armie
,
&
at
the
same
tyme
sent
dyuerse
messengers
and
haroldes
for
Rychard
Welles
,
and
the
same
Rychard
●eeyng
often
so
sent
for
,
made
his
excuse
that
he
was
sicke
&
diseased
,
but
afterward
when
his
excuse
was
not
admitted
,
he
thynkyng
to
purge
hymself
sufficiently
before
the
kyng
,
came
to
London
,
bringyng
with
hym
sir
Thomas
Democke
his
brother
in
lawe
,
and
when
he
was
there
,
certain
of
his
frendes
certified
hym
that
the
kyng
was
sore
moued
with
hym
,
whiche
for
feare
of
the
kyng
did
take
sentuarie
at
Westminster
&
his
brother
also
,
mindyng
to
tary
there
vnto
suche
tyme
as
that
kyng
his
anger
wer
couled
&
apeaced
.
But
kyng
Edward
trustyng
to
pacifie
all
this
tumulte
without
bloddeshede
,
promisyng
those
menne
his
feith
that
he
would
not
harme
them
,
caused
theim
bothe
to
come
out
of
sentuarie
.
Then
the
kyng
callyng
Rychard
to
hym
,
warned
hym
to
byd
his
brother
Robert
that
he
should
leaue
of
warre
,
and
goo
frome
the
erle
,
and
in
the
meane
season
the
kyng
went
foreward
with
his
hoost
against
his
enemies
,
bryngyng
with
hym
this
foresaid
Rychard
&
Thomas
,
and
beeyng
but
frome
Stamforde
wher
his
enemies
did
lie
the
space
of
twoo
dayes
iourney
,
was
informed
that
Robert
kepte
that

still
,
nothyng
moued
with
that
letters
of
his
fathers
wrytyng
,
for
the
whiche
the
kyng
beyng
sore
greued
,
caused
bothe
Rychard
and
Thomas
euen
there
contrarie
to
his
promise
,
moost
shamefully
to
haue
their
heddes
chopped
of
.
Robert
,
when
he
sawe
the
kyng
drawe
nigh
,
and
hard
that
his
father
&
sir
Thomas
Democke
was
put
to
death
,
stoode
first
in
a
doubte
whether
he
should
fight
or
no
,
for
because
it
was
ieoperdeous
to
ventre
vpon
suche
a
greate
power
before
that
erle
came
,
yet
at
the
last
for
the
stoute
courage
and
manly
boldenes
that
was
in
hym
,
thei
went
together
,
and
fought
sore
,
long
,
and
many
menne
killed
on
bothe
sydes
,
and
at
the
last
when
the
fore named
Robert
encouraged
his
menne
that
wer
ready
to
geue
ouer
,
was
coumpassed
about
of
his
enemies
&
taken
,
and
also
sir
Thomas
Delalant
with
many
〈…〉
o
,
the
whiche
capitaines
beyng
taken
all
the
hoost
was
putte
to

&
driuen
awaye
.
The
kyng
beyng
glad
of
this
victorie
,
commaunded
Robert
&
sir
Thomas
Delalant
with
many
other
to
bee
put
to

at
that

tyme
&
place
.
And
in
this
battaill
ther
was
kylled
as

reported
tenne
thousand
menne

The

at
this
tyme
beeyng
at
his
owne
toune
of
Warwike
,
and
commyng
shortely
to
his
armye
at
Stamforde
with
his
power
,
was
enformed
that
the
battayle
was
foughte
quickelyer
then
he
looked
for
,
and
that
his
men
had
the
worse
parte
,
although
he
might
now
be
discouraged
,
yet
he
made
as
thoughe
he
passed
not
and
would
not
beleue
,
to
the
entente
that
he
myghte
the

and
with
many
faire
promyses
did
wowe
his

but
when

agaynste
kyng

then
seeyng
it
was

and
he
mistrustyng
that
he
was
not
able
to

,
fled
wyth
the
duke
of
Clarence
(
his

)
to
Excetre
,
and
when
he
had
taried
there
two
or
three
dayes
,
seyng
that
he
lacked
al
thynges
necessarye
for
warre
,
purposed
to
gooe
to
Lewes
the
kyng
of
Fraunce
,
with
whom
at
his
ambassate
into
Fraunce
,
was
veraye
well
acquaynted
and
beloued
,
trustyng
ether
to
haue
some

or

where
the

most
royally

&
in

And
that

meruailyng
greatlye

that
that

had
doen
,
was
mynded
thorowly
to
helpe
hym
in
all
that
he
could

&
when
he
knewe
that
he
was
landed
in
Fraunce
,
was
glad
of

,
&
sent
to
hym
certayn
of
his
nobles
,
to
shewe
hym
that
he
did
wishe
to
haue
an
occasion

wherby

&
at

time
would
gladly
dooe

desieryng
hym

,
which
Ambassy
is
a
manour
place
of
that
kynges
set
vpon
the
ryuer
syde
of
Loire
,
&
the
duke
also
his
sonne
in

and
that
it
should
not
bee

or
harme
.
This
was
that
.ix.
yere
of
kyng
Edwardes
reigne
The
.ix.
yere
.
when
the
erle
fled
to
Fraunce
,
and
of
our
Lorde
a
M.
CCCC
.
and
.lxxx.
But
this
greued
kyng
Edward
that
thei
wer
fled
,
for
because
many
of
the
people
and
communaltee
was
desyrous
to
see
hym
,
and
thought
that
the
sonne
had
been
goone
from
theim
and
out
of
this
worlde
,
when
he
was
absent
.
And
in
suche
estimacion
and
honour
was
he
had
of
the
people
,
that
thei
worshipped
&
honoured
none
but
hym
,
or
at
the
least
none
more
then
hym
.
In
so
muche
that
his
only
name
was
euery
mannes
song
&
voyce
,
especially
of
the
commen
people
when
they
made
triumphe
abrode
in
that
stretes
.
Wherby
,
the
moste
parte
helde
of
the
earle
his
syde
,
and
bare
hym
more
fauoure
in
theyr
hartes
then
kyng
Edward
.
Wherby
the
kyng
was
in
feare
and
daunger
both
of
his
owne
countremen
that
wer
in
his
realme
,
and
of
theim
that
were
abrode
in
Fraunce
,
but
before
all
other
he
did
prouide
for
that
erle
his
commyng
.
And
first
he
sente
to
Charles
the
duke
of
Burgom
his
brother
in
law
desiryng
him
that
he
would
manashe
Lewes
the
kyng
,
with
whom
he
had
made
a
league
of
peace
,
not
to
aide
the
erle
of
Warkwike
or
that
duke
his
sonne
in
lawe
,
neither
with
mony
nor
with
men
.
The
which
Charles
wrote
to
that
kyng
of
Fraunce
,
&
thretened
hym
many
thynges
,
if
so
that
he
mainteyned
or
helped
theim
.
And
when
the
kyng
of
Fraunce
had
red
his
letter
,
aunswered
again
&
saied
that
he
might
lawfully
&
would
sauyng
his
league
&
truce
,
helpe
his
frends
that
wer
valiaunt
&
noble
men
as
the
earle
was
,
and
settyng
nothyng
by
all
his
thretenyng
&
braggyng
wordes
,
sayd
it
shoulde
bee
neither
greate
peyne
nor
coste
to
hym
.
When
these
tydynges
came
into
England
,
that
kyng
was
veraye
sorie
,
&
for
that
cause
searched
priuely
in
his
realme
,
who
wer
frendes
to
his
enemies
.
And
for
feare
by
that
reason
of
the
examinacion
of
theim
that
wer
prisoners
&
in
his
hand
,
some
did
take
sentuarie
,
and
some
came
to
the
kynges
side
.
And
emonges
theim
the
lord
Marques
Montacute
offered
hymself
to
the
kyng
again
,
to
helpe
hym
in
his
warres
,
whom
the
kyng
gladly
receaued
,
for
because
that
by
him
mo
would
leane
to
his
side
.
In
this
meane
season
the
erle
of
Warwike
&
the
duke
went
to
Ambassy
,
wher
the
kyng
of
Fraunce
was
,
&
by
the
way
the
people
came
veraye
thicke
to
see
hym
,
because
they
harde
so
muche
speakyng
of
his
noblenesse
,
&
when
he
came
there
,
the
kyng
receaued
hym
moste
gently
,
to
whom
shortly
after
the
erle
did
breake
his
mynd
,
and
shewed
the
cause
of
his
commyng
.
To
whome
the
kyng
promysed
all
that
he
coulde
dooe
for
hym
to
the
vttermoste
extente
of
his
power
.
Sone
after
quene
Margarete
the
wife
of
Henrye
that
.vi.
came
to
theim
,
with
her
sonne
prince
Edward
and
the
earle
of
Penbruck
,
and
also
of
Oxenforde
the
whiche
a
lytle
before
sayled
ouer
to
her
.
After
they
communed
together
,
as
concernyng
that
safegard
of
their
bodies
,
a
league
was
made
thorowe
the
kyng
of
Fraunce
his
counsel
.
And
first
lady
Anne
the
doughter
of
the
earle
was
maried
and
despoused
to
prynce
Edwarde
the
quenes
soonne
.
Also
the
erle
and
the
duke
promysed
faithfullye
that
they
woulde
not
geue
ouer
,
vnto
suche
tyme
that
kyng
Henrye
the
.vi.
or
Edwarde
his
soonne
were
proclaymed
kyng
of
Englande
,
&
after
kyng
Henry
,
that
the
erle
and
the
duke
should
ouersee
and
gouerne
the
realme
by
the
wyll
and
apoyntmente
of
the
quene
Margarete
and
her
sonne
prince
Edwarde
,
vnto
suche
tyme
that
the
forenamed
prince
wer
of
lawfull
age
and
habilitee
,
the
whiche
they
promysed
faythfully
to
obserue
and
dooe
as
they
wer
apoynted
.
And
besydes
these
,
many
other
condicions
were
made
,
aswel
for
that
reason
did
so
require
,
as
the
busynes
that
was
at
that
tyme
.
When
this
league
of
truth
&
faithfulnes
was
thus
made
the
kyng
Lewes
holpe
the
erle
with
menne
,
harnes
and
nauie
,
that
he
might
the
surer
go
to
Englande
.
And
Rhenate
also
the
father
of
the
quene
Margarete
,
gaue
hym
menne
&
harnyse
to
his
power
.
So
that
he
hauyng
no
small
nombre
of
men
,
did
take
shippe
at
Sayne
mouth
&
ther
tariyng
,
hard
word
from
England
by
letters
,
that
he
should
come
ouer
in
all
the
haste
,
&
that
there
were
so
many
that
would
take
his
parte
,
that
he
shoulde
haue
no
nede
to
bryng
any
with
hym
,
for
they
wer
redy
in
harneyse
at
the
water
side
,
willyng
to
helpe
hym
in
al
that
they
could
and
not
they
onely
,
but
many
noble
men
&
princes
would
helpe
hym
both
with
mony
,
men
&
harneyse
,
&
with
all
that
they
could
dooe
.
When
he
had
receaued
these
letters
,
he
purposed
to
go
forth
,
and
take
the
oportunitee
of
the
tyme
.
And
because
that
the
quene
was
not
redy
to
set
forth
,
he
&
the
duke
of
Oxenford
and
the
duke
of
Penbruch
,
went
before
with
parte
of
that
hoste
&
nauye
,
to
trie
what
chaunce
thei
shuld
haue
,
that
if
all
thinges
should
chaunce
well
,
the
quene
and
the
prynce
should
folowe
and
come
vnto
Englande
.
Therfore
the
Earle
and
the
Duke
thanking
the
king
as
highly
as
they
coulde
for
that
he
had
doone
so
much
for
theim
,
dyd
take
their
leaue
and
sayled
vnto
Englande
with
all
their
armie
.
Then
the
Duke
of
Burgoyne
not
contented
that
the
earle
shoulde
bee
holpen
of
the
king
of
Fraunce
agaynst
king
Edward
,
prepared
a
great
nauye
of
shippes
aboute
the
costes
of
Normandye
,
that
he
might
take
hym
comming
towardes
Englande
,
yet
neuerthelesse
the
Earle
escaped
all
daungers
,
and
landed
safe
he
and
all
his
menne
at
Dartmouth
,
frome
the
whiche
place
he
sayled
to
Fraunce
halfe
a
yere
before
.
After
that
the
Earle
came
to
lande
,
he
made
a
proclamacion
in
king
Henry
the
.vi.
name
,
that
all
they
that
were
of
lawfull
age
shoulde
make
battayle
agaynst
Edwarde
duke
of
Yorke
whiche
agaynste
all
ryghte
and
lawe
at
that
tyme
had
the
crowne
.
The
whiche
when
it
was
doon
,
it
cannot
be
spoken
howe
soone
it
went
aboute
all
the
realme
that
he
was
come
and
had
made
this
proclamacy
on
,
at
the
whiche
also
is
not
to
be
expressed
howe
many
thousandes
of
menne
came
to
hym
.
The
Earle
hauing
all
this
power
&
greate
armie
went
streyght
to
London
,
whome
when
Edwarde
perceyued
to
drawe
nighe
,
he
fledde
for
the
tyme
,
trustyng
to
haue
hym
at
some
vauntage
,
but
at
the
laste
he
was
dryuen
to
that
ende
,
that
he
had
no
mynde
to
get
any
hoste
to
resyst
his
enemies
,
but
beyng
in
greate
daunger
of
his
owne
lyfe
,
fled
with
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
his
brother
,
vnto
a
towne
night
the
sea
called
Lye
,
and
there
taking
shippe
,
sayled
into
Flaunders
,
to
Charles
the
Duke
of
Burgoyne
with
greate
daunger
and
parell
of
his
lyfe
by
the
reason
of
the
boisterouse
&
cruel
winde
Elizabeth
his
wyfe
beyng
then
greate
●●th
childe
dyd
take
sentuarye
at
Westmynster
,
where
she
was
broughte
in
bedde
with
a
m●n
chylde
,
whose
name
was
Edward
.
After
that
the
earl
〈…〉
newe
of
the
going
awaye
of
kyng
Edward
,
he
made
haste
to
London
and
hearing
of
the
tumulte
and
busynesse
that
was
in
Kente
,
and
that
all
the
villages
and
suburbes
there
were
spoyled
piteously
,
a
lytel
before
the
going
awaye
of
that
kyng
,
pacified
theim
and
sette
all
thinges
in
good
ordre
agayne
:
by
the
doing
of
the
whiche
benefyte
,
he
was
the
more
louingly
accepted
of
theim
all
,
and
that
doon
,
came
to
the
towre
&
there
deliuered
kyng
Henry
the
.vi.
out
of
prisone
,
&
geuing
hym
his
robe
of
maies●ye
broughte
hym
to
Poules
,
the
people
reioysing
on
euery
syde
,
and
there
thanked
God
for
that
it
had
chaunsed
as
they
wolde
,
&
desired
.
And
this
was
the
yere
of
our
Lorde
a.
M
.iiii.
C.
foure
score
and
one
,
that
kyng
Henry
beganne
to
reigne
.
So
that
king
Henry
so
often
vanquyshed
began
to
reigne
nowe
,
likely
shortely
after
to
faule
againe
.
The
which
fortune
chaunsed
to
hym
by
many
mennes
opinions
,
because
he
was
a
very
simple
and
innocent
man
,
and
that
he
had
rather
in
godlinesse
&
vertue
excell
other
,
then
in
honoure
and
rule
,
so
that
for
the
loue
that
he
had
to
religion
,
he
loked
for
no
dignitee
or
honoure
,
whiche
chaunseth
to
fewe
that
wil
not
seke
for
it
or
regard
&
kepe
it
when
they
haue
it
.
But
his
enemies
saide
he
was
a
coward
,
&
had
not
the
herte
or
manlynesse
to
bee
a
kyng
or
meete
for
that
offyce
.
So
that
who
soeuer
despiseth
that
the
commune
people
alloweth
&
maruaileth
at
,
is
accompted
for
a
mad
man
,
contrariwyse
,
he
that
doeth
agree
to
theim
and
in
their
tale
,
he
is
a
wise
man
,
where
in
dede
suche
wisdom
(
as
it
is
comenly
saide
)
is
foolishnesse
before
God
.
Also
some
saide
,
it
was
the
will
of
God
that
it
should
so
bee
,
for
his
graundfather
Henry
the
fourth
gotte
it
by
violencye
and
force
of
armes
,
so
that
it
coulde
not
bee
longe
enioyed
of
hym
,
but
that
faute
of
the
graundesire
did
redounde
on
the
nephewes
.
But
nowe
to
that
matter
.
After
this
king
Henry
held
his
parlyament
at
Westmynster
,
the
.xxvi.
daye
of
Nouembre
,
in
the
whiche
Edwarde
is
declared
openly
tray
toure
to
his
countree
,
bycause
he
had
taken
that
crowne
to
him
and
all
his
goodes
geuen
away
,
&
in
like
maner
al
theirs
that
did
take
his
parte
,
and
so
iudgement
was
geuen
on
theim
to
dye
.
Furthermore
,
all
that
decrees
statutes
and
actes
of
that
forenamed
Edward
were
broken
&
of
none
effecte
.
And
then
that
earle
of
Warwike
,
as
a
man
that
had
deserued
much
of
his
countre
was
made
gouernoure
ouer
all
that
realme
,
to
whom
he
did
take
the
duke
of
Clarence
as
felowe
to
hym
.
So
by
that
meanes
that
realme
was
brought
to
a
new
state
,
cleane
transformed
&
altered
.
To
this
parliament
came
the
lorde
Marques
Mountacute
,
the
which
excusing
his
treason
that
he
did
take
kyng
Edward
his
parte
,
&
saing
it
was
for
feare
of
death
,
had
his
pardone
▪
Truely
yf
this
man
had
taken
kyng
Edwardes
part
,
&
had
stand
to
his
side
manly
,
he
had
not
been
so
sore
an
enemie
,
and
hurted
so
much
his
frendes
,
as
he
was
being
a
false
fained
and
coloured
frende
,
for
those
thinges
that
we
be
ware
of
,
and
knewe
before
to
bee
pernicious
,
dooe
lesse
hurte
vs
.
But
nowe
quene
Margarete
being
in
Fraunce
prayed
euery
daye
from
that
time
the
Earle
went
into
England
,
for
the
victorie
,
the
whiche
when
she
knewe
was
obteined
by
the
king
his
letters
that
came
to
her
,
shortely
after
did
take
shyppe
,
towardes
England
,
but
thorowe
that
sharpnesse
of
the
wether
and
greate
tempestes
she
was
constrayned
to
lande
,
and
to
differre
her
iourney
to
an
other
tyme
.
At
the
same
tyme
Gaspar
the
earle
of
Penbruch
went
to
Wales
to
his
Earledome
,
where
he
founde
lorde
Henry
the
Earle
of
Richemonde
his
brothers
sonne
,
a
chylde
of
ten
yere
olde
,
&
there
kepte
prysoner
,
but
lyke
a
noble
man
of
the
erle
willyam
Harberte
his
wyfe
,
whome
we
spake
of
before
,
that
Edwarde
had
made
hym
erle
,
and
then
after
taken
in
batayl
was
behedded
at
the
commaundement
of
the
earle
of
Warwike
.
This
is
that
Henry
the
whiche
when
Richard
King

the
thirde
brother
to
Edward
was
ouercome
and
vanquished
,
had
the
gouernaunce
of
the
realme
,
of
whome
this
is
to
bee
beleued
,
that
after
that
he
came
to
his
kingdom
sent
as
one
by
god
,
to
quench
and
put
awaye
the
greate
sedicion
and
stryfe
that
was
betwixte
Henry
and
Edwarde
,
seyng
that
he
minded
nothyng
so

as
that
,
whome
lady

and
after
that

And
by

to
come
,
as
it
chaunsed
in

,
haue
the
kyngedome
and

of
all
the
realme
.
And
nowe
Edwarde
althoughe
he
was
oute
of
his
countree
,
yet
dyd
he
not
dyspayre
but
that
he
shulde
haue
mattre
and
redy
occasion
to
recouer
his
kingdome
,
for
the
duke
of
Burgoyne
partlye
had
promised
hym
both
greate
ayde
and
socoure
,
and
partly
the
priuy
frendes
that
he
had
in
Englande
dyd
councell
hym
by
letters
sente
from
tyme
to
time
,
that
he
would
hasten
his
iournay
homward
,
and
incontin●tly
after
,
very
many
fled
to
hym
oute
of
Englande
,
eyther
for
feare
of
the
lawes
,
that
they
had
offended
,
or
elles
for
sorowe
that
the
worlde
was
so
turned
,
that
they
could
not
haue
theyr
wyll
,
as
they
had
before
,
in
accomplyshynge
theyr
couetouse
myndes
and
desyres
,
and
caused
hym
to
make
the
more
haste
homewarde
.
And
kynge
Edwarde
beynge
rauished
with
their
golden
promises
,
thoughte
nothyng
more
payneful
or
wretched
,
then
to
tary
one
daye
lenger
,
and
nothyng
more
pleasaunt
than
to
go
of
his
iourney
,
and
so
takynge
no
moo
wyth
them
then
two
thou
sande
harnesed
menne
,
at
the
sprynge
of
the
yeare
sayled
into
Englande
,
landynge
in
the
coastes
of
Yorkeshyre
at
an
hauen
towne
called
Rauinsport
And
there
settynge
for
the
all
hys
menne
,
dyd
reason
wyth
hys
captaynes
and
consulte
,
to
what
place
they
shoulde
fyrste
goo
.
For
it
was
ieoperdious
consydering
the
small
companie
that
he
had
,
to
take
anye
waye
for
the.
But
after
longe
delyberation
,
they
were
all
agryed
that
some
certayne
knightes
and
horsemen
of
that
smal
compaignie
shuld
bee
sent
one
to
euerie
quarter
to
the
townes
that
wer
nyghe
,
to
the
intente
that
they
myghte
drawe
the
hartes
&
myndes
of
the
people
to
king
Edwardes
syde
.
But
it
is
not
lykelye
that
kynge
Edwarde
beyng
a
wyse
manne
durst
be
bolde
,
or
would
in
any
wyse
come
into
England
,
with
such
a
small
power
,
excepte
he
had
knowen
surely
that
he
should
haue
had
great
helpe
at
hys
commyng
the
whych
is
a
plain
token
,
that
the
duke
of
Clarence
,
and
the
lorde
Marques
,
had
procured
hys
fauoure
,
promysinge
him
all
their
helpe
that
they
coulde
make
,
for
the
tryall
of
the
whych
,
ther
was
manifest
tokens
,
that
dysclosed
and
bewrayed
all
their
falshed
.
For
they
priuilie
went
about
to
know
mennes
mindes
and
to
what
parte
they
would
declyne
and
the
nexte
day
after
came
to
kinge
Edwarde
,
and
shewed
him
that
the
common
people
dyd
stande
stiflye
of
kynge
Henrye
his
syde
,
and
woulde
defende
hys
quarell
as
ryghte
and
iuste
at
al
times
,
and
that
they
had
nomore
nede
nowe
to
make
anye
tumulte
,
in
so
much
,
that
no
manne
would
(
althoughe
eftsons
desired
and
prayed
,
)
go
to
king
Edward
,
yea
,
and
that
noman
woulde
for
feare
of
the
earle
of
Warwike
,
heare
anye
thinge
spoken
of
that
matter
,
whose
myndes
after
that
kinge
Edwarde
had
throughlye
serched
and
knowen
,
he
chaunged
his
mynd
and
purpose
,
&
wher
as
before
he
claymed
the
crowne
,
then
he
publyrshed
abrode
that
he
woulde
haue
but
hys
ryghte
that
was
his
landes
,
and
heritage
of
Yorke
shyre
.
And
●t
that
worde
,
it
cannot
be
well
spoken
,
howe
redily
men
wer
willinge
to
helpe
him
,
consideringe
that
he
claymed
nothinge
but
hys
ryghte
,
in
somuch
,
the
very
pytie
dyd
moue
manye
,
althoughe
they
woulde
not
helpe
hym
,
yet
at
no
hande
to
resyste
him
.
And
kynge
Edwarde
reconsilyng
him selfe
to
the
common
people
by
these
meanes
,
toke
hys
iournye
towarde
Yorke
,
and
wente
to
Beuer
lay
.
The
earle
then
beinge
at
Warwik
,
after
that
he
knew
that
king
Edward
was
landed
about
York
streyght
sent
a
post
to
his
brother
lord
Montacute
then
liyng
that
winter
at
Pomfreit
with
a
great
army
,
to
shewe
him
what
daunger
mighte
ensue
,
yf
king
Edward
got
that
towne
of
york
,
&
bed
theim
yf
his
enemies
drewe
nigh
,
ether
to
mete
with
them
in
plain
felde
,
or
elles
to
bete
theim
from
the
towne
,
vnto
such
tyme
,
that
he
came
wyth
a
greater
host
which
he
prepared
then
,
in
all
the
hast
he
coulde
.
And
because
he
knew
not
surely
which
way
his
enemies
wolde
come
,
he
fyrst
sent
to
euery
towne
in
york
shyre
,
and
to
yorke
it selfe
certayne
postes
,
to
bid
euery
man
be

his
harnesse
ready
,
and
that
that
citezins
should
shut
the
gates
surelye
that
kynge
Edward
myght
haue
no
accesse
.
In
the
meane
tyme
king
Edward
came
peaceably
,
and
wythoute
the
resistaunce
of
anye
man
towardes
the
towne
of
Yorke
,
of
whose
commyng
when
the
citezens
were
certified
,
they
made
sure
the
gates
,
and
standynge
in
harnesse
,
for
the
defence
of
it
,
dyd
sende
twoo
of
the
aldermen
,
to
warne
the
kyng
the
comming
nyghe
,
that
he
dooe
not
enterpryse
to

or
put

in
ieopardie
,
for
they
were
mynded
to
dryue
him
and
all
hys
awaye
,
wyth
all
the
power
they
myghte
.
When
Edwarde
had
heard
theyr
myndes
,
he
was
in
so
greate
feare
&
agonie
that
he
could
not
tell
what
to
dooe
,
for
yf
he
shuld
haue
goone
back
,
he
feared
that
the
common
people
as
men
gredye
of
a
praye
,
woulde
persue
him
and
yf
he
should
goo
forth
,
he
was
in
daunger
of
the
Yorke
shyre
men
,
leaste
they
shoulde
sodenlye
faull
vpon
hym
,
and
take
hym
:
and
therefore
,
seeyng
that
he
was
not
able
to
match
them
in
battayle
,
thought
to
mollyfie
theim
with
fayre
wordes
,
and
so
beganne
to
entreat
after
the
most
lowlye
and
gentle
maner
the
messaungers
,
that
they
woulde
in
hys
name
shewe
the
cytezyns
,
that
he
came
not
to
clayme
the
crowne
,
but
hys
herytage
and
ryghte
of
Yorke
shyre
,
and
therfore
that
they
woulde
helpe
theyr
lorde
and
duke
of
Yorke
,
and
yf
that
he
myghte
be
receaued
through
theyr
meanes
,
he
wolde
requyte
theyr
kindenes
,
and
remember
theyr
benifyte
as
longe
as
he
lyued
.
And
by
suche
fayre
speaking
and
flatterie
,
he
dimissed
them
and
folowed
straighte
after
to
the
gates
with
his
companie
.
The
citezins
beynge
somwhat
moued
wyth
thys
answer
,
for
that
he
entended
no
harme
agaynst
kyng
Henrie
,
they
spake
wyth
hym
from
the
wall
,
and
badde
hym
to
go
frome
thence
,
and
if
he
would
go
quickely
,
he
should
take
no
harme
.
But
he
speakyng
veraye
gentely
to
euerye
one
of
theim
,
&
callyng
some
by
name
,
moost
gentely
did
desire
theim
that
he
might
come
into
his
owne
toune
And
so
passyng
all
the
daye
in
that
communicacion
,
at
that
length
the
citezens
partely
ouer
come
with
his
moost
gentle
speakyng
,
&
large
promises
made
,
fell
to
this
poincte
,
that
if
Edward
would
swere
to
handle
his
citezens
after
a
gentle
sorte
,
&
hereafter
bee
obedient
to
kyng
Henry
his
commaundement
,
thei
would
receiue
hym
in
to
that
citee
,
and
helpe
hym
with
all
that
power
that
thei
might
.
Edward
beyng
glad
to
here
this
,
the
next
daye
after
early
,
a
masse
was
said
at
the
gates
,
wher
he
receiuyng
the
sacrament
,
promised
feithfully
vpon
his
othe
that
he
would
obserue
bothe
the
thyngens
afore
named
,
&
so
was
receiued
in
to
the
citee
.
Neuerthelesse
,
it
was
so
ferre
vnlike
that
he
would
obserue
one
of
theim
,
that
he
minded
none
other
thyng
then
that
he
might
depriue
the
kyng
of
his
croune
,
as
here
after
shall
appere
more
euident
.
So
that
often
tymes
we
se
noble
men
,
aswell
as
the
laye
people
thorowe
ambicion
&
filthy
couetousnes
,
thei
forgettyng
god
&
all
godlynes
dooe
swere
greate
othes
in
promisyng
thynges
,
the
whiche
entendyng
before
thei
make
their
othe
,
to
breake
it
shortely
after
.
Yet
suche
persons
oftymes
haue
their
rewardes
of
God
at
one
or
other
tyme
as
this
Edward
had
,
so
that
some
tyme
the
punishment
falleth
on
the
nephewes
,
for
the
offence
that
the
vncle
had
committed
.
But
of
this
thyng
I
will
speake
more
in
Rychard
the
third
,
in
a
place
wher
a
manne
maye
see
that
the
progenie
of
Edward
wer
punished
for
this
offence
,
when
Edward
had
thus
framed
his
matters
,
he
forgettyng
the
othe
that
he
had
made
,
did
se
that
the
citee
was
strongly
kepte
,
and
gettyng
hym
an
army
together
thought
he
wold
not
lynger
his
busines
bycause
he
harde
his
enemies
made
no
greate
preparaunce
or
haste
,
but
tooke
his
iourney
towarde
London
,
&
in
his
goyng
did
purposely
goo
out
of
his
waye
that
led
hym
to
Pomfret
wher
the
lord
marques
was
,
&
toke
on
that
right
hand
within
lesse
than
.iiii.
miles
of
his
enemies
.
And
when
he
perceiued
that
thei
made
no
skyrmishe
nor
mocion
came
in
to
the
right
waie
again
when
he
was
past
theim
,
&
went
to
Notynghame
.
But
this
greued
the
Yorke
shire
menne
that
he
should
deceiue
theim
so
vnhonestly
&
otherwise
then
did
become
a
kyng
,
or
noble
manne
.
After
that
it
was
knowen
that
kyng
Edward
came
with
out
all
daunger
of
his
enemies
,
to
Notyngham
,
then
came
there
to
hym
many
noble
menne
,
vpon
this
consideracion
that
the
lord
Mountacute
either
would
not
entre
vpon
his
enemies
as
though
he
had
agreed
with
theim
,
or
els
durst
not
come
out
of
his
tentes
,
for
that
he
was
not
able
to
matche
with
theim
.
Therfore
menne
thought
better
to
take
Edwardes
part
,
consideryng
that
his
power
was
so
greate
,
then
to
hold
with
kyng
Henry
and
hee
in
daunger
of
their
liues
,
and
losse
of
all
their
goodes
&
landes
.
Edward
reioysyng
at
this
,
went
to
Lecestre
,
&
hearyng
that
th
erle
was
at
his
toune
of
Warwicke
&
th
erle
of
Oxenford
with
hym
,
hauyng
a
greate
armie
,
and
that
thei
bothe
entended
to
bryng
hym
to
theim
,
preuentyng
their
purpose
wet
awaye
with
his
hoost
,
either
wyllyng
to
fight
,
or
els
ioyne
in
frendeship
and
loue
with
his
brother
duke
of
Clarence
,
with
whome
then
commyng
from
London
with
an
hoost
of
menne
he
thought
to
speake
before
that
he
came
to
th
erle
&
his
compaignie
,
fearyng
leste
that
he
would
not
stand
to
that
promise
that
he
made
,
for
that
he
was
variable
&
inconstant
.
In
the
meane
tyme
th
erle
of
Warwike
was
very
heuie
&
sore
moued
with
the
lord
marques
because
he
would
neither
kepe
the
kyng
from
Yorke
as
he
was
bed
,
nor
yet
when
thei
came
before
his
nose
,
would
not
proffer
theim
ones
to
fight
,
&
therfore
consideryng
that
his
enemies
multiplied
more
&
more
,
in
his
gooyng
towardes
hym
made
an
hoost
,
&
sent
for
that
duke
of
Clarence
to
come
to
hym
,
then
hauyng
an
hoost
at
London
.
Whom
when
he
perceiued
to
linger
,
&
as
a
man
doubtyng
whether
he
should
kepe
battaill
or
peace
,
to
haue
no
mind
of
settyng
forth
his
men
,
mistrusting
also
that
he
was
by
some
traine
allured
to
folowe
his
brethren
and
take
their
partes
,
tooke
his
waye
to
Couentrie
,
to
th
ende
that
there
he
might
meete
his
enemies
.
Then
Edward
came
to
Warwike
,
and
frome
thens
to
the
erle
,
and
pitched
his
tentes
by
hym
,
and
the
next
daie
after
bad
battaill
to
th
erle
,
the
whiche
erle
durst
not
come
oute
,
for
feare
that
the
duke
of
Clarence
whome
he
thought
had
deceaued
hym
,
which
duke
in
deede
came
,
as
it
was
shewed
after
with
a
greate
power
of
menne
.
The
whiche
when
Edward
perceaued
,
he
made
towardes
hym
,
&
that
it
should
not
bee
thought
to
bee
a
made
guyle
,
sette
his
hoost
in
araye
as
though
he
would
fight
,
and
so
did
the
duke
.
But
when
thei
came
in
sight
,
Richard
duke
of
Gloucestre
as
one
that
should
take
vp
this
matter
,
firste
spake
with
the
duke
priuely
in
his
eare
,
and
then
came
to
Edward
and
did
the
same
to
hym
,
and
at
the
laste
peace
was
proclaimed
,
wherby
euery
manne
puttyng
doune
their
weapons
,
Edward
&
his
brethren
enbraced
louyngly
one
an
other
.
After
this
Edward
made
it
bee
proclaimed
that
that
duke
with
all
theim
that
came
with
hym
,
should
bee
perpetuall
frendes
,
&
that
thei
three
should
loue
like
thre
brethren
as
thei
wer
in
brotherly
loue
for
euer
.
Neuerthelesse
God
dooeth
not
seme
to
haue
forgiuen
this
Edward
his
offence
of
periury
,
although
euen
nowe
fortune
fauored
hym
,
for
yer
it
were
long
he
was
again
vexed
with
werre
,
beside
that
plage
&
distrucion
of
his
children
after
his
death
.
When
thei
wer
thus
come
together
,
thei
minded
to
proue
if
that
erle
wold
come
to
theim
also
&
hold
with
theim
,
to
whom
the
duke
of
Clarence
sent
certain
of
his
frendes
,
that
whiche
first
shuld
excuse
that
he
had
done
,
&
then
desire
hym
if
that
he
would
to
bee
at
one
with
kyng
Edward
.
Whose
mynde
when
th
erle
heard
,
he
vtterly
detested
hym
,
&
with
muche
cursyng
cryed
oute
of
hym
that
he
had
contrary
to
his
feith
&
othe
made
,
fled
to
kyng
Edward
.
And
to
his
commaundement
&
biddyng
that
he
sent
,
he
made
none
other
aunswer
but
this
that
he
had
rather
bee
like
hym self
,
than
like
a
false
&
periured
duke
.
So
that
he
appoincted
vtterly
neuer
to
leaue
battaill
,
before
that
either
he
wer
killed
and
ded
or
his
enemies
ouercomed
.
After
this
,
Edward
hauyng
suche
a
strong
power
of
menne
went
boldely
to
London
,
wher
after
that
it
was
knowen
that
the
duke
of
Clarence
had
taken
his
parte
,
and
that
all
the
brethren
were
come
in
to
one
knot
,
the
citezens
were
in
suche
a
feare
,
that
thei
could
not
tell
what
to
dooe
,
but
at
the
lengthe
they
were
dryuen
for
feare
to
take
kyng
Edward
his
parte
At
the
same
tyme
there
came
letters
from
the
earle
to
kyng
Henry
,
to
that
duke
of
Somerset
,
to
that
archbyshop
of
Yorke
,
and
other
of
the
kyng
his
counsel
,
that
they
should
kepe
the
citee
from
their
enemies
handes
for
the
space
of
.ij.
or
.iij.
dayes
,
&
he
would
come
streyght
with
a
great
armye
of
menne
.
They
defended
the
citee
as
strongely
as
they
coulde
,
but
it
was
to
no
purpose
,
for
the
citezens
consyderyng
the
kyng
Henry
was
no
greate
warryer
,
and
that
he
had
but
small
policie
in
the
feates
of
the
same
,
and
contrary
wise
,
that
kyng
Edwarde
was
a
man
that
of
hym selfe
coulde
rule
a
realme
maruelous
well
,
and
suche
a
man
that
woulde
not
onelye
preserue
hym selfe
and
all
his
,
but
also
defende
theim
from
all
maner
of
iniuryes
and
harmes
that
shoulde
chaunce
,
thought
best
to
leane
on
his
syde
.
And
at
his
commyng
to
London
,
the
people
coulde
by
no
thretenyng
or
strayt
commaundement
,
be
otherwyse
kepte
backe
,
but
that
they
would
mete
hym
then
comyng
,
&
salute
hym
altogether
as
kyng
&
ruler
of
the
realme
.
At
whose
commynge
in
,
the
duke
of
Somerset
and
certayn
other
fled
away
,
and
made
the
beste
shifte
euery
manne
for
hym selfe
that
he
could
,
to
escape
his
handes
,
sauyng
that
kyng
Henry
taryed
poste
alone
in
the
bishoppes
paleyce
besyde
Powles
,
where
standynge
lyke
a
desperate
manne
,
and
not
knowynge
what
to
dooe
was
taken
of
kyng
Edward
,
and
cast
into
pryson
agayn
in
the
towre
.
This
Edward
came
into
London
the
.xi.
day
of
Apryll
,
halfe
a
yere
after
that
he
hadde
sayled
into
Flaunders
,
and
callyng
his
councel
together
,
did
highly
commende
the
citezens
,
for
that
faythfulnesse
that
they
bare
to
hym
,
and
in
especiall
the
Aldermen
,
that
they
caused
the
people
to
do
their
obeysaunce
to
hym
,
&
also
sharpelye
rebuked
other
of
the
cytie
whom
he
knewe
to
haue
lent
monye
to
kyng
Henry
.
And
for
that
cause
woulde
haue
made
theim
paye
mony
to
the
preparyng
of
an
hoste
for
hym
,
but
at
the
last
he
bad
,
theim
bee
without
all
feare
,
promysyng
theim
their
pardon
&
safetie
of
life
,
thorowe
the
whiche
gentlenesse
,
he
gatte
the
fauoure
of
the
commen
people
wonderfully
.
The
erle
consideryng
that
battayll
should
be
shortelye
,
folowed
his
enemyes
in
great
haste
,
to
the
entente
that
yf
his
enemies
had
any
stoppe
or
lette
by
that
waye
,
he
myght
fight
&
buckel
with
theim
,
before
they
came
to
London
.
But
now
after
that
he
had
pursued
theim
long
and
came
a
good
waye
of
his
iourney
,
worde
was
brought
that
Edwarde
had
gotten
London
&
imprisoned
the
kyng
.
The
earle
then
perceauyng
that
the
victorie
&
ende
of
fightyng
should
be
tryed
in
this
one
batayle
,
rested
at
saynt
Albones
,
partely
to
refreshe
his
men
,
and
partely
to
take
some
counsayl
.
In
this
hoste
there
was
the
duke
of
Excester
,
the
earle
of
Oxenforde
,
the
duke
of
Somerset
and
the
lorde
Mountacute
Marques
,
brother
to
the
earle
whom
the
earle
perceaued
to
bee
very
vnwyllyng
to
fight
,
and
that
agaynst
kyng
Edward
,
and
therfore
he
had
no
trust
to
hym
,
yet
the
loue
that
betwixte
brother
and
brother
diminished
the
suspicion
,
but
whatsoeuer
he
thought
eyther
of
hym
or
of
other
,
he
hymselfe
was
euer
out
of
feare
and
daunger
.
And
so
came
from
saynt
Albones
,
to
a
toune
that
is
halfe
waye
betwyxte
London
and
that
,
aboute
a
tenne
myle
frome
London
,
called
Barnet
,
and
this
toune
standeth
on
a
hyll
,
where
there
is
a
goodlye
playne
,
and
here
the
earle
entended
to
pitche
his
battayle
.
And
Edward
hearyng
of
this
prepared
his
armye
,
and
adioyned
a
greate
power
of
young
menne
to
theim
,
and
so
with
bowes
,
bylles
,
speares
and
arowes
,
and
all
maner
instrumentes
apperteynyng
to
warre
,
he
had
so
furnysshed
his
menne
,
that
he
thought
to
make
riddaunce
of
theim
at
that
tyme
for
all
,
and
fynishe
battayle
that
was
so
longe
holden
.
And
so
came
with
this
his
armye
to
mete
his
enemies
,
and
that
he
might
bee
the
redier
to
fight
with
theim
wheresoeuer
he
mette
theim
,
he
had
foure
wynges
,
that
they
could
escape
hym
at
no
hand
.
And
he
brought
with
hym
to
battayle
also
Henry
then
prisoner
,
to
the
entente
that
his
aduersaries
might
bee
the
more
discouraged
at
the
sight
of
hym
,
or
els
,
if
fortune
fauoured
hym
not
,
he
might
neuerthelesse
bee
saued
by
him
.
After
the
noone
,
he
pytched
his
tentes
at
the
fore named
Barnet
nighe
to
hys
enemyes
,
but
that
he
myghte
not
fyghte
that
daye
,
he
defended
hys
tentes
veraye
strongelye
,
for
the
longer
he
taryed
the
better
it
was
,
by
reason
of
the
daylye
concourse
of
noble
men
and
commen
people
to
hym
,
and
the
woorse
for
the
earle
,
for
that
he
was
farre
from
his
frendes
.
There
they
lodged
that
night
,
and
by
breake
of
day
the
earle
of
Warwike
began
to
araye
his
armye
of
this
sorte
.
Fyrste
the
lorde
Marques
and
the
earle
of
Oxenforde
was
set
on
the
lefte
syde
wyth
certayn
horssemen
,
and
he
hymselfe
with
the
duke
of
Exceter
on
the
ryght
syde
.
In
the
myddeste
betwixte
theim
bothe
he
setteth
the
duke
of
Somerset
with
all
the
archers
.
And
thus
araiyng
theim
to
this
battayl
,
beganne
to
exhorte
theim
,
that
thei
would
fight
lustely
and
lyke
hardye
meune
,
reuengyng
the
quarell
of
their
countree
,
for
that
he
had
moste
falsely
possessed
that
croune
.
In
like
maner
did
kyng
Edward
,
whiche
after
that
he
had
set
theim
in
ordre
,
encouraged
theim
to
fight
lykewyse
,
and
to
remembre
that
thei
inuaded
rebelles
,
traytours
and
sedicious
persons
,
whiche
entended
nothynge
but
the
vtter
destruccion
and
losse
of
theyr
countree
.
When
daye
came
,
the
trompettes
beganne
to
blowe
on
bothe
sydes
,
as
the
tokens
and
lignes
of
the
battayle
.
And
firste
the
bowe
men
shot
,
&
then
drawynge
nere
tryed
it
with
sweorde
.
Edwarde
trustyng
thorowe
the
multitude
of
his
men
to
haue
the
better
hand
did
stande
stiffely
to
theim
,
enbouldenyng
his
souldiours
in
all
that
he
coulde
.
Whose
power
the
erle
moste
manfully
resisted
.
And
so
by
long
continuaunce
of
battail
,
many
men
wer
slayne
in
whose
places
succeded
euer
fresher
&
fresher
.
At
the
length
the
erle
perceauyng
his
men
to
bee
ouerthrowen
by
the
kyng
his
great
power
,
drewe
nigh
with
his
foreward
,
&
constreyned
the
kyng
to
geue
backe
a
litle
.
Then
Edward
seeyng
that
,
brought
freshe
men
to
aide
the
other
,
so
that
thother
men
wer
beten
downe
very
sore
to
the
grounde
.
And
Edwarde
beeyng
werye
of
this
longe
fyghtynge
(
for
they
fought
from
mornyng
to
none
)
caused
theim
that
wer
without
the
battayl
,
then
standyng
for
the
defence
of
Edward
,
yf
such
nede
should
be
,
to
fall
vpon
their
enemies
,
&
beare
theim
downe
with
their
great
power
.
The
erle
then
seyng
freshe
men
to
come
vpon
theim
,
was
nothing
afeard
,
but
trusting
&
loking
surely
for
the
victorye
,
dyd
comforte
&
encourage
his
menne
then
almoste
discomfited
,
moost
manfully
,
desiring
theim
to
beare
oute
this
laste
brunt
lustely
,
and
the
victorie
should
redounde
to
theim
but
they
being
weryed
with
longe
continuaunce
,
were
nothing
moued
at
his
wordes
.
Then
he
him self
moste
valiauntly
came
among
the
myddest
of
his
enemyes
,
and
there
kylled
and
slewe
many
of
theim
,
where
he
hym selfe
at
the
laste
was
striken
downe
and
his
brother
lorde
Marques
then
folowing
hym
,
after
whose
deathe
all
the
other
fled
,
&
so
were
taken
moste
parte
of
theim
.
And
this
was
the
ende
of
the
earle
,
whose
stoutenesse
of
stomack
made
hym
bee
in
lyke
peryll
and
leopardye
at
many
other
times
at
dyuerse
and
sundrye
suche
conflictes
and
warres
.
There
was
killed
of
both
partes
more
then
ten
thousande
menne
,
and
so
many
taken
prisoners
that
they
could
not
be
noumbred
.
The
duke
of
Somerset
,
and
the
earle
of
Oxforde
entendyng
to
take
their
waye
to
Scotlande
,
dyd
chaunge
their
mindes
,
bicause
it
was
so
farre
from
theim
,
and
fledde
streight
to
Wales
to
the
earle
of
Penbrucke
,
and
so
euery
man
to
saue
their
liues
,
fledde
,
some
one
way
and
some
an
other
.
The
erle
of
Exeter
skaping
very
hardely
,
tooke
the
sentuarye
at
Westminster
,
and
there
remayned
.
When
Edward
had
gotte
this
victorye
,
he
went
to
London
after
the
moost
triumphyng
fassion
,
hauyng
Henry
with
hym
as
prisoner
.
The
deed
corps
also
of
the
earle
and
the
lorde
Marques
were
brought
to
Poules
,
and
there
laye
for
the
space
of
.ii.
dayes
that
euery
manne
might
see
theim
to
bee
deed
,
and
that
no
man
after
fainyng
that
he
was
aliue
,
myght
sowe
sedicion
againe
in
reuenging
his
quarel
.
Yet
the
kyng
was
not
so
glad
at
the
death
of
th
erle
,
but
he
was
as
sory
for
the
losse
&
destruccion
of
that
lord
Marques
,
whome
he
dyd
esteme
and
take
for
his
great
frende
.
After
this
,
quene
Margaret
hearing
that
Edward
was
come
into
Englande
,
&
had
done
much
hurte
in
that
realme
,
purposed
to
come
into
England
&
her
soonne
also
prince
Edward
with
a
great
armye
of
chosen
&
picked
Frenchmen
,
&
so
to
land
at
Waimouth
.
But
for
that
greate
tempest
that
was
on
the
see
,
she
could
not
come
so
soone
as
she
woulde
.
But
after
she
had
landed
,
&
heard
that
kyng
Edward
had
conquered
all
,
&
her
husband
to
be
taken
prisoner
as
destitute
of
all
his
frendes
,
and
that
the
erle
with
his
brother
lord
Marques
was
slaine
in
felde
,
and
all
their
army
discomfyted
and
slayne
&
putte
to
f●ight
,
she
began
like
a
piteful
&
desperate
ladye
,
to
mourne
and
lament
the
fate
&
calamitee
of
her
husband
,
the
whiche
she
did
nowe
see
to
haue
chaunsed
,
and
sowith
this
great
feare
&
agonie
she
was
in
that
case
that
she
had
rather
dye
then
lyue
The
quene
mighte
haue
thought
that
this
euell
had
chaunsed
to
her
for
the
putting
to
death
of
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
,
of
whose
deathe
althoughe
peraduenture
she
was
not
giltie
,
yet
she
offended
,
in
that
she
dyd
not
saue
suche
a
good
man
.
For
yf
he
had
liued
and
had
the
dominion
of
the
publike
weale
,
king
Henry
had
neuer
been
in
suche
trouble
.
But
nowe
(
to
leaue
of
this
)
that
quene
despering
bothe
of
her
owne
life
&
her
sonnes
also
,
went
therby
to
a
monastery
of
the
charterhouse
monkes
at
a
place
called
Bewelieu
,
in
englishe
called
faire
place
,
&
ther
taking
sentuarie
,
remained
with
her
soonne
.
And
when
it
was
knowen
,
that
she
was
there
in
sentuarie
,
there
came
to
her
the
duke
of
Somerset
,
&
his
brother
the
erle
of
Deuonshire
,
whiche
man
euen
frome
the
beginnyng
had
taken
the
other
parte
,
whose
returning
after
redounded
to
his
euell
and
destruccion
,
also
the
erle
of
Penbroke
Ihon
Wen
locke
,
&
Ihon
Longstrother
Capytaines
and
rulers
of
the
Rhodes
.
The
quene
being
in
sorowe
&
miserye
,
was
somwhat
comforted
at
the
sighte
of
her
frendes
,
with
whome
she
talked
and
shewed
the
cause
that
she
came
no
rather
,
desiryng
theim
to
prouyde
for
the
safegard
of
her
soonne
&
to
helpe
her
nowe
,
and
the
she
would
if
the
wether
serued
goo
to
Fraunce
againe
and
bryng
with
her
,
god
willing
at
a
more
better
&
mature
time
a
greater
power
of
men
The
duke
began
to
putte
her
in
good
comforte
&
would
in
any
wise
the
she
should
set
her
mind
whole
vpon
batail
,
&
nowe
to
fight
against
Edward
when
he
was
bothe
vnprepared
&
also
not
furnyshed
of
men
that
were
hable
to
fight
,
considering
the
great
batell
that
he
had
with
th
erle
of
Warwike
,
in
that
which
his
men
were
sore
hurted
&
weryed
all
together
,
&
that
it
myght
be
their
chaunce
now
to
haue
that
better
of
hym
,
although
he
discomfyted
th
erle
&
his
hoste
,
for
because
that
victorie
turneth
oftentymes
from
one
to
an
other
in
a
moment
&
short
space
.
Furthermore
he
shewed
her
the
the
most
part
of
that
nobilyte
bare
theyr
good
mindes
&
hertes
to
kyng
Henry
,
&
if
so
bee
that
she
would
bee
a
capitaine
as
she
had
bene
in
tyme
passed
,
he
promised
her
a
great
army
of
his
owne
costes
and
charges
,
and
that
he
woulde
make
other
noble
menne
to
take
her
parte
,
and
defende
her
at
all
times
.
The
Quene
mistrusting
and
fearing
yet
muche
of
her
owne
soonne
,
aunswered
&
saied
that
she
allowed
his
counsell
well
,
yf
so
that
she
only
might
bee
in
daunger
,
and
not
her
sonne
And
therfore
fearing
that
when
they
fought
most
earnestly
for
their
countree
,
her
soonne
might
bee
destroied
or
caste
awaye
,
she
thought
best
either
to
putte
of
and
differre
the
battayl
to
an
other
time
,
or
elles
to
sende
her
soonne
into
Fraunce
,
&
there
to
bee
kepte
vnto
suche
tyme
the
they
had
some
better
successe
in
their
warres
.
And
truely
the
mother
was
not
withoute
a
cause
so
louing
to
her
chylde
;
for
that
her
owne
husbande
was
a
prisoner
and
a
captiue
persone
,
and
therfore
as
one
caste
awaye
,
so
that
nexte
after
hym
,
she
loued
mooste
tenderly
this
her
soonne
.
Also
that
they
might
goo
that
more
wisely
aboute
their
entente
,
the
quene
counsayled
theim
all
to
laye
their
heedes
together
,
and
caste
all
the
waies
howe
to
conuey
their
businesse
,
and
then
yf
they
would
fight
,
she
promised
theim
both
her
helpe
,
and
good
councell
.
Then
the
Erle
saied
it
was
no
nede
to
waste
any
more
wordes
,
for
he
&
all
they
woulde
fight
stoutely
agaynste
their
enemies
,
and
therfore
they
woulde
doo
that
with
all
their
might
and
power
,
that
they
had
determined
and
apointed
vpon
.
So
they
all
gathered
their
armye
,
euery
manne
for
his
parte
,
oute
of
his
owne
countree
&
shire
.
The
quene
brought
now
in
good
hope
of
warre
,
saied
wel
be
it
,
&
streight
went
by
that
councell
of
that
duke
to
Bathe
,
looking
and
tarieng
there
for
the
armye
,
but
to
what
place
so
euer
she
went
,
she
would
be
aknowen
to
none
,
to
th
entent
that
her
aduersaries
might
not
knowe
,
vnto
such
time
that
she
came
wher
she
woulde
bee
.
Edward
hearyng
that
the
quene
was
come
,
and
that
the
duke
of
Somerset
,
had
prepared
an
hoost
to
ayde
her
,
sente
certayne
spies
to
viewe
of
what

And
when
they
had
shewed

but
yet
not
knowyng
whether
they
wold
goo

the
kyng
apoynted
to
mete

they
came
to
London
.
And
gathering
his
armie
went
to
Oxforde
shyre
,
and
there
pytched
hys
tentes
at
Abyngton
,
encreasinge
hys
nomber
and
army
as
much
as
he
could
.
But
perceauyng
,
that
they
wer
at
Bathe
,
and
there
taryed
purposely
to
multyply
and
enlarge
their
company
,
came
to

myles
frome
Bathe
,
&
so
hasted
to

before

whether

From

and
frome

And

Shortelye

Edwarde
was

and
there
asked
wherfor
he
did

which
answered
boldly
and

to

At

When

wyth

,
they
woulde
defende

Henrye
,
and
restore

But
the
people
and
cytezyns
of
London
perceauyng
that
quene
Margarete
was
ouercome
in
battayle
,
woulde
geue

and
to

and

Shortely
after

Southampton
,
was
taken
and
behedded
.
But
to
speake
of
the
earle
of
Penbrucke
,
when
he
had
knowne
that
the
quene
was
taken
at
Tewkesburye
,
where
she
had
waged
battayle
,
then
goynge
of
hys
waye
to
her
,
turned
backe
agayne
to
Chepstey
.
And
there
lamentyng
greatly
both
his
owne
chaunce
,
&
also
the
euell
fortune
that
kinge
Henry
had
,
dyd
breath
alitle
&
deliberate
with
him selfe
,
what
wer
best
to
be
done
.
In
the
meane
time
king
Edward
sent
one
Roger
Vaughan
to
take
that
erle
by
some
train
or
guile
.
But
the
erle
certified
of
it
,
did
take
the
self
same
man
&
hedded
him
,
so
that
he
was
killed
that
intended
to
kyll
.
From
that
place
that
erle
went
to
his
toune
Pēbrucke
,
wher
he
was
besiged
of
Thomas
Morgan
then
sent
from
the
king
,
that
he
could
get
oute
by
no
meanes
,
but
on
the
eyght
daye
one
Dauid
the
brother
of
the
forsayde
Morgane

moost
assured
frende
conueyed
him
awaye
,
which
then
went
to
a
toune
by
the
sea
syde
called
Tinby
and
there
takynge
shyppe
into
Fraunce
w●th
the
lorde
Henrye
his
nephewe
,
by
the
earle
of
Rychemonde
his
brother
,
by
chaunce
came
to
Britaine
,
and
there
shewing
the
duke
the
cause
of
hys
comminge
,
committed
him selfe
wholy
into
his
handes
.
The
duke
entertayned
the
earle
and
all
his
company
,
after
that
most
best
maner
that
he
could
,
&
made
of
theim
as
though
they
had
bene
hys
brethren
,
promysing
to
theim
sure
passeporte
&
saueconduite
,
ouer
ani
place
that
he
had
rule
or
gouernaunce
of
.
Nowe
kinge
Edwarde
,
after
that
hys
realme
was
pacified
,
and
these
great
tumultes
apeaced
,
he
tooke
his
iourny
into
Rence
,
and
there
setting
his
iustices
,
caused
inquisicion
and
serche
to
be
made
of
this
busines
and
insurrection
,
by
the
basterd
and
his
adherentes
,
for
the
which
offence
manye
were
put
to
death
,
and
suffered
execution
moost
sharply
,
according
to
their
merites
.
And
not
longafter
,
to
th
entent
that
king
Edward
myght
bee
out
of
al
daungers
&
assaultes
of
his
enemies
Henry
that
was
depriued
not
long
before
of
his
crowne
,
was
also
spoiled
of
his
life
,
that
is
,
was
killed
.
And
as
the
report
&
fame
went
,
the
duke
of
Glouceter
was
suspected
to
haue
done
that
dede
,
which
sticked
him
with
a
dagger
.
And
when
he
was
dead
,
his
corps
was
brought
vnreuerently
from
the
towre
,
through
that
stretes
of
that
citee
vnto
Poules
,
&
ther
lay
all
that
daye
&
on
the
morow
folowing
conueyed
&
caried
to
the
abby
or
blak
freres
at
Chertessey
,
&
ther
was
buried
And
shortely
after

toumbe
This
Henry
reigned
.xxviii.
yere
,
and
after
he
had
repossessed
his
kyngdome
,
but
halfe
a
yeare
.
He
lyued
vnto
he
was
.lii.
yeres
of
age
,
and
had
by
his
wife
quene
Margaret
one
soone
called
Edward
.
Nowe
to
the
entent
that
Edward
the
kyng
might
liue
in
quiet
after
this
manne
his
death
,
he
went
a
boute
to
serche
all
the
rebelles
that
thei
might
bee
weeded
out
of
the
compaignie
of
menne
as
pernicious
and
vnprofitable
to
the
publique
weale
.
At
what
tyme
he
tooke
th
archebishop
of
Yorke
brother
to
th
erle
of
Warwike
and
sent
hym
prisoner
to
Guynes
,
wher
he
long
remained
in
holde
,
but
after
dimissed
,
dyed
shortely
for
thought
and
pensifulnes
of
mynde
,
also
he
attached
the
erle
of
Oxenford
the
whiche
from
the
ceason
of
Barnet
felde
had
holden
sainct
Michaelles
Mounte
,
&
by
his
commaundement
was
had
to
a
castell
beyond
that
sea
called
Hant
,
wher
he
remained
prisoner
that
space
of
xii
.
yeares
.
Furthermore
vpon
consideracion
that
no
rebelles
or
traitours
might
haue
any
refuge
to
straunge
countres
,
he
had
made
a
league
with
the
kyng
of
scottes
of
peace
&
amitee
to
bee
obserued
&
kepte
for
that
〈…〉
of
.xx.
yeares
.
Yet
he
was
not
out
of
all
feare
,
for
y●
〈…〉
e
of
Pēbruck
&
of
Richemond
wer
with
the
duke
of
Britain
,
wher
thei
had
moost
honorable
intretainmēt
,
consideryng
also
that
the
young
erle
of
Richemond
would
clayme
the
croune
in
tyme
to
come
he
was
in
the
more
feare
for
the
whiche
matter
,
he
sent
priuie
ambassadours
to
the
duke
,
promisyng
hym
that
if
he
would
restore
&
deliuer
vnto
their
hande
bothe
th
erles
he
should
haue
an
ample
&
large
porcion
of
monye
for
so
dooyng
.
But
that
duke
,
to
make
a
short
tale
,
would
by
no
meanes
deliuer
theim
out
of
his
handes
,
but
so
kepte
theim
,
that
thei
neuer
might
bee
in
any
daunger
of
their
enemies
through
hym
.
Edward
therfore
in
this
his
thirtene
yere
of
his
reigne
,
whiche
was
the
yere
of
our
lord
a
thousand
foure
hundred
three
score
and
thirteen
,
helde
his
parlyament
at
Westminster
,
wher
first
he
caused
all
the
statutes
and
actes
of
his
whiche
wer
abrogated
by
Henry
the
sixt
,
to
stand
and
bee
of
good
effecte
,
then
the
goodes
of
these
traitours
to
be
bestowed
&
gyuen
abrode
,
also
the
banished
menne
that
fled
as
rebelles
and
false
to
their
countree
,
to
bee
brought
in
,
&
that
if
any
grudge
or
eiuill
will
wer
betwixt
any
one
or
other
of
the
nobilite
,
that
ther
it
should
bee
forgotten
,
&
turned
to
loue
,
&
lastly
that
certain
mony
should
bee
payed
to
the
kyng
towardes
that
greate
charges
of
his
werre
.
When
he
had
thus
studied
&
determined
to
liue
quietly
&
set
his
realme
in
good
ordre
,
Charles
the
duke
of
Burgoin
sent
for
aide
to
hym
against
Lewes
the
Frenche
kyng
so
that
he
could
neuer
bee
at
rest
,
but
one
thyng
or
other
shuld
disquiet
hym
,
for
he
could
not
deny
hym
helpe
consideryng
the
benefites
that
he
had
receiued
of
hym
at
diuerse
&
sundry
tymes
before
that
,
&
that
he
nowe
fought
against
his
dedly
enemie
whiche
aided
the
erle
of
Warwike
bothe
with
menne
&
mony
to
come
against
hym
.
Wherfore
he
assemblyng
his
counsaill
together
,
&
shewyng
theim
the
matter
,
sent
woord
to
the
duke
that
he
would
kepe
one
piece
or
parte
of
a
battail
against
the
kyng
.
For
in
deede
at
that
same
tyme
there
was
mortall
battaill
betwixt
the
duke
&
Lewes
that
kyng
,
&
because
that
the
same
Lewes
was
a
very
harde
manne
&
churlishe
&
also
hurtefull
aswell
to
his
frendes
as
to
his
foes
,
many
Frenchmen
abhorryng
his
condicions
,
did
consent
to
hold
with
that
duke
.
And
emong
many
other
,
one
Lewes
of
Lucēburge
did
apoinct
with
the
duke
to
dooe
mischief
to
hym
one
waye
or
other
,
so
that
the
kyng
was
bothe
in
daunger
of
his
owne
countree
menne
,
&
also
of
the
duke
beyng
a
straunger
.
The
duke
shewed
this
to
kyng
Edward
,
that
he
might
the
soner
allu●e
&
entise
hym
to
battaill
.
And
vpon
this
,
kyng
Edward
toke
his
voiage
to
Fraunce
,
takyng
besides
his
tribute
that
he
had
,
certain
mony
of
the
lordes
&
commons
of
the
realme
,
which
thei
of
their
owne
gentlenes
gaue
vnto
hym
,
to
the
sustenaunce
&
maintenyng
of
his
armie
And
for
that
,
the
kyng
called
that
tribute
&
leuiyng
of
mony
,
beneuolence
,
whiche
neuerthelesse
was
giuen
with
an
eiuill
will
of
many
one
.
But
he
vsyng
suche
gentle
fassions
towardes
theim
,
&
praiyng
theim
so
hartely
of
their
assistaunce
that
thei
could
none
other
wise
dooe
but
geue
it
hym
.
Whiche
when
he
had
,
he
gathered
his
armie
whiche
was
.xx.
M.
&
went
to
Caleys
the
.iiii.
daye
of
July
.
Whom
Charles
that
duke
did
mett
,
&
reioysyng
gretely
at
his
victory
did
instantly
desire
hym
that
he
would
sticke
stoutely
to
this
battaill
,
that
he
might
haue
of
that
Frenche
kyng
that
he
had
lost
by
hym
.
But
when
Lewes
that
kyng
hard
that
Edward
came
with
his
armie
,
he
encreased
the
nombre
of
his
people
as
muche
as
he
could
&
the
more
nigher
the
daunger
that
he
was
,
the
sooner
&
hastely
he
came
vpon
theim
.
And
with
this
armie
he
sent
foorthe
Robert
of
Stoteuill
a
noble
capitain
to
the
coostes
Atrebatium
to
resyst
the
power
of
the
Englishe
menne
.
And
the
kyng
hym self
taried
at
Siluanect
,
castyng
with
hymself
what
waye
he
might
make
a
league
of
peace
betwixt
that
duke
&
that
kyng
of
England
&
hym
.
Heryng
therfore
that
that
king
was
gone
to
Atrebates
,
he
sent
ambassodours
to
hym
for
peace
:
whose
myndes
when
that
kyng
had
knowen
,
although
he
had
found
but
litle
frendship
at
his
handes
in
tymes
past
,
yet
consideryng
that
all
his
substaunce
&
treasure
was
wasted
in
ciuile
battail
,
&
that
he
was
not
hable
to
maintein
a
newe
hoost
if
nede
shuld
be
,
nor
yet
vnneth
sustein
theim
whom
he
had
vnder
his
banner
,
thought
best
euen
for
pure
necessite
to
leaue
to
peace
&
growe
to
atonement
with
Lewes
that
kyng
.
The
whiche
thyng
he
might
dooe
also
sauing
his
honour
,
consideryng
that
bothe
the
duke
&
Robert
of
Lucēburge
aforenamed
had
not
dooen
accordyng
to
their
promise
.
So
that
,
at
the
desire
of
the
ambassadours
he
went
to
speake
with
the
kyng
at
Pinquinake
a
toune
in
tnan
shire
wher
noble
menne
dooe
assemble
together
,
&
there
found
the
kyng
.
Then
bothe
that
kynges
after
due
salutacion
,
either
to
other
had
long
communicacion
,
&
at
the
last
a
peace
was
confirmed
&
stablished
for
many
yeres
,
for
the
a●●emēt
wherof
the
Frenche
kyng
gaue
vnto
Edward
toward
his
charge
&
cost
.
lxcv

M.

,
&
from
thens
forth
yerely
l.
M.
crounes
.
After
that
truce
made
&
mony
paid
,
kyng
Edward
went
to
Caleis
,
&
from
thens
to
England
.
In
this
battaill
none
was
slain
sauyng
onely
that
duke
of
Exceter
,
the
whiche
manne
was
in
sentuary
before
,
&
commaunded
to
folowe
the
kyng
was
put
to
death
contrary
to
that
promise
made
.
This
was
the
yere
of
our
lord
.
M
.
CCCC
.lxxv.
frome
that
tyme
foorth
Lewes
that
kyng
payed
duely
his
raunsome
to
Edward
,
vnto
the
laste
yere
before
he
dyed
,
at
what
tyme
he
denyed
the
paymente
,
as
though
he
knewe
before
his
laste
dayes
.
But
the
duke
of
Burgoyne
and
Roberte
of
Lucenburgh
,
after
they
had
knowen
that
Edwarde
had
made
a
league
wyth
Lewes
the
kynge
,
they
freted
sore
with
hym
,
and
wrote
sharpe
letters
of
thretenyng
and
tauntyng
hym
,
saiyng
:
that
he
was
the
cause
that
they
reuenged
not
theimselfes
of
the
kyng
.
Whose
fyrye
and
thundryng
wordes
the
kyng
no
more
passed
vpon
,
then
of
the
turnyng
of
his
hande
And
as
for
Lucenburgh
he
was
taken
prysoner
,
and
for
his
proude
and
malicious
writyng
,
behedded
at
Lutece
.
Thus
kyng
Edward
beyng
in
quietnes
both
in
his
countre
and
abrode
also
,
although
he
mighte
wel
thynke
hymself
to
lyue
so
perpetually
,
for
that
he
had
been
so
great
a
conquerour
,
yet
consideryng
that
the
erle
of
Richemonde
was
of
nigh
affinitee
to
Henry
the
.vi.
he
was
not
out
of
feare
&
daunger
.
Therfore
he
thought
ones
to
attempte
the
duke
of
Britayn
agayn
,
with
giftes
,
promyses
&
faire
wordes
that
he
might
haue
the
erle
,
whom
he
thought
to
rule
as
he
would
,
after
that
his
auncestrie
was
geuen
.
The
ambassadours
came
to
the
duke
with
a
great
substaunce
of
mony
,
&
that
their
request
might
bee
the
honestier
,
they
shewed
the
duke
that
they
came
to
desire
the
erle
of
hym
,
that
he
mighte
marye
the
kynges
doughter
,
so
that
by
affinite
,
al
euil
wyll
&
grudge
might
be
forgotten
,
and
sedicion
vtterlye
reiected
,
although
they
entended
not
so
to
cause
al
suche
thynges
to
bee
forgotten
,
but
by
the
death
&
kyllyng
of
hym
.
The
duke
after
longe
and
muche
deniyng
theim
,
at
the
laste
thorowe
muche
entreatyng
,
and
also
great
rewardes
that
was
brought
gaue
the
earle
to
theim
,
sendynge
a
letter
to
the
kynge
,
in
prayse
and
commendation
of
hym
,
not
thynkynge
that
he
commytted
the
lambe
to
the
woulfe
,
but
the
soonne
to
the
father
.
The
ambassadours
was
verye
glad
,
that
they
had
got
hym
,
and
sayled
into
Englande
,
in
all
the
haste
they
coulde
.
But
the
earle
knowynge
well
that
he
went
to
hys
death
,
for
sorowe
and
care
that
he
conceaued
in

,
was

When

suche

not
bee

in

&
in

fauour
with
the
duke
,
hearing
of
that
dede
,
being
very
sore
moued
therwith
,
went
to

coming

holding

the

at

enquyred
what
the
matter
was

To

That
I
would
God
yt
had
come
before
this
day
,
&
then
it
should
not
haue
greued
me
so
much
.
And
thys
all
cometh
to
me
through
a
deed
that
you
haue
done
of
late
,
which
wil
ether
cause
me
to
lose
my
life
,
or
els
to
lyue
in
moost
miserie
&
wretchednes
as
one
wery
of
thys
present
lyfe
.
The
noble
actes
that
you
haue
doone
,
(
moost
noble
prynce
)
haue
enhaunsed
your
fame
&
glory
to
the
fardest
part
of
the
world
but
this
one
thing
me
thynke
(
I
praye
you
pardōme
what
I
saye
)
is
a
great
blemyshe
to
your
dygnitee
,
that
forgetting
the
promyse
that
you
made
so
faythfully
haue
geuen
the
innocent
erle
of
Richmounte
to
be
destroyed
,
&
pitefully
killed
emonge
wretched
knaues
&
hangmen
.
Wherfore
,
they
that
loue
you
,
of
whom
I
am
one
,
cannot
but
lamente
●o
see
you
dyshonored
by
this
great
fault
of
periury
.
When
he
had
sayd
,
the
duke
answered
,
hold
thy
peace
man
I
praye
the
,
ther
is
no
such
harme
shal
chaunce
to
him
,
Edwarde
the
kinge
woulde
haue
him
to
mary
his
daughter
.
Then
sayd
Iohn
,
Beleue
me
(
mooste
excellente
and
redoubted
prynce
)
this
Henry
is
nowe
almoste
famyshed
and
loste
,
&
yf
he
once
goo
out
of
your
countree
,
he
is
but
cast
awaye
and
paste
all
recouerye
.
At
these
wordes
the
duke
was
persuaded
,
through
the
whych
he
commaunded
one
Peter
Lādoson
hys
receauer
,
to
take
the
same
Henry
from
the
ambassadours
.
The
sayd
receauer
pursued
the
Englyshe
ambassadours
to
Maclonium
,
and
there
holdyng
theim
wyth
long
communication
,
made
him
to
be
conueyed
into
a
sentuary
,
whych
was
then
almost
ded
through
that
feuer
and
thought
whych
he
was
caste
in
.
And
so
after
that
he
was
emended
broughte
hym
to
the
duke
.
The
ambassadours
then
beyng
spoiled
and
deceaued
,
both
of
theyr
pread
and
mony
that
they
brought
,
desyred
that
same
receauer
that
they
might
not
goo
home
in
that
wyse
,
whyche
receauer
promised
,
that
he
woulde
eyther
kepe
hym
in
sentuary
,
or
eles
cause
hym
to
be
imprisoned
at
the
duke
his
place
,
so
that
they
should
neuer
neede
to
feare
hym
.
In
all
thys
tyme
Edwarde
beynge
desyreous
to
knowe
what
became
of
the
Earle
,
was
enfourmed
,
that
he
was
taken
prysoner
,
but
after
that
escaped
theyre
handes
,
where
at
the
kinge
was
verye
angrye
:
but
when
he
knewe
that
he
should
bee
kepte
in
holde
,
was
well
pleased
&
then
dyd
take
no
thought
.
And
liued
after
,
&
that
most
welthy
,
sparing
no
expenses
nor
cost
in
kepyng
his
house
,
neuertheles
,
he
dyd
fall
into
one
great
offence
in
this
time
.
For
sodenly
,
he
commaunded
his
brother
the
duke
of
Clarence
to
be
killed
&
drowned
in
an
hogshhed
of
malmesey
.
And
the
cause
of
hys
death
was
,
as
men
report
,
through
a
certaine
prophecie
,
which
sayd
the
after
kyng
Edwarde
,
one
shuld
reigne
,
whose
name
began
wyth
a.
G.
which
prophecye
some
sayde
,
was
completed
&
fulfilled
when
the
duke
of
Glouceter
,
the
after
hym
had
the
kingdome
,
dyd
reigne
.
Some
holdeth
another
opinion
of
this
his
death
,
saiyng
:
that
at
what
time
the
olde
malice
dyd
breke
out
bewixt
them
both
,
the
duke
through
his
sisters
councel
,
woulde
haue
maried
lady
Mary
that
duke
of
Burgoyn
his
only
daughter
,
which
mariage
the
kyng
did
infringe
&
stoppe
,
as
one
enuiyng
of
his
brothers
felicitee
,
or
good
chaunce
.
After
that
they
both
beryng
in
theyr
mindes
mortall
hatred
,
one
of
the
sayde
duke
hys
seruauntes
,
was
accused
of
wichcraft
&
charming
for
which
offence
,
he
was
put
to
death
.
The
duke
〈…〉
g
that
,
could
not
but
speake
&
resist
againste
the
〈…〉
g
his
commaundement
,

was
com

&

beyng
was

and
procla
〈…〉

〈…〉

〈…〉
der
,
he
would
saye
.
O
infortunate
bro
〈…〉
that
noman
would
aske
thy

.
And
this
duke
had
.ii.
children
,
one
lady
Margarete
,
that
was
after
maried
to
Richard
Pole
,
&
an
other
Edward
,
whome
the
kyng
made
earle
of
Warwyke
,
but
this
childe
folowyng
the
fate
and
destenie
of
his
father
,
was
after
putte
in
prisone
,
&
there
priuely
put
to
death
.
And
these
thinges
were
doone
in
the
yere

yere
.
hundreth
and
foure
score
,
and
the
.xix.
yere
of
the
reigne
of
kyng
Edward
.
And
two
yeres
then
after
folowing
,
the
kyng
died
,
before
the
whiche
yeres
he
beganne
to
bee
very
harde
and
couetouse
in
getting
monye
,
and
also
very
diligent
in
marking
&
attaching
his
lordes
that
did
offend
.
In
this
time
the
kyng
of
Scottes
willed
his
soone
Iamy
to
be
maried
to
the
kynges
doughter
lady
Cicile
,
which
was
the
yonger
,
that
should
haue
been
maried
to
Charles
the
kyng
his
soonne
of
Fraunce
.
But
it
chaunced
not
,
thorow
Lewes
the
kyng
that
brake
his
promise
,
bothe
in
geuing
his
seruice
,
and
payeng
his
raunsome
the
laste
yere
of
his
reigne
.
Likewise
the
kyng
of
Scottes
seing
that
Lewes
the
kyng
was
false
of
his
promise
,
he
thoughte
he
might
bee
so
bolde
too
,
and
so
breaking
league
of
amite
,
sette
vpon
the
Englishe
men
.
At
the
which
Edward
was
sore
vexed
,
and
entended
batayl
against
hym
,
yet
after
that
he
knewe
the
it
was
not
by
his
wyll
,
but
thorowe
the
councell
and
euell
disposed
mindes
of
his
lordes
,
woulde
haue
borne
it
in
good
worthe
,
had
not
kyng
Iames
owne
brother
streight
vpon
that
,
prouoked
hym
to
fighte
.
Furthermore
,
suche
was
the
nature
of
the
Scottishe
kyng
that
when
he
had
sette
his
minde
vpon
a
thing
,
no
manne
coulde
turne
hym
,
and
because
that
no
manne
mighte
reproue
hym
in
any
thing
,
he
promoted
laye
people
,
&
menne
of
basse
bloude
to
his
counsell
,
putting
to
deathe
,
or
banishyng
euermore
the
nobilitee
Emong
whom
this
duke
of
Albanie
his
brother
,
consydering
the
condicyons
of
the
king
,
fled
to
the
kyng
of
England
at
what
time
he
was
sent
into
Fraunce
,
&
ther
counsailed
the
kyng
to
fight
against
hym
.
The
king
willing
to
reuenge
his
olde
iniuries
,
vpon
many
consideracions
gathered
,
entended
no
lesse
by
the
helpe
of
the
saied
duke
of
Albany
,
then
to
kepe
open
warre
.
So
that
he
did
send
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
,
the
erle
of
Northumberland
,
syr
Thomas
Stanley
,
&
this
duke
of
Albany
with
a
great
power
of
men
against
the
Scottes
.
The
king
knowing
of
their
comming
,
went
to
Barwyke
with
his
army
to
kepe
theim
from
the
borders
,
but
perceiuing
that
he
was
not
hable
so
resist
their
great
power
,
fled
backe
in
the
night
to
Edinbrough
&
ther
taryed
for
his
enemies
.
And
the
duke
of
Gloucestre
folowing
,
burned
and
spoyled
all
the
way
,
&
when
he
was
somewhat
nighe
his
enemies
,
perceiuing
also
that
none
of
the
Scottishe
lordes
came
to
the
duke
of
Albanye
,
mistrusted
that
some
deceyte
or
crafte
was
wrought
,
&
so
laboured
to
haue
peace
,
whiche
gotten
,
he
went
backe
to
the
castell
of
Barwike
,
that
sir
Thomas
Stanley
had
wonne
a
lytell
before
.
And
the
duke
of
Albany
the
authoure
of
this
warre
,
for
that
he
had
but
lytle
thankes
of
England
for
his
so
dooing
,
fled
into
Fraunce
,
&
there
was
kylled
running
at
the
tylte
in
Parys
.
After
this
businesse
Edward
assembled
his
counsell
together
,
&
willed
theim
to
prepare
batayle
againste
the
Frenche
kyng
,
for
that
he
had
neyther
payde
nor
woulde
paye
his
raunsome
,
nor
yet
geue
his
soonne
in
mariage
to
his
doughter
(
as
he
promised
)
to
the
setting
forth
of
the
which
batayl
,
certaine
mony
was
exacted
of
the
prestes
&
religiouse
men
to
be

.
At
the
which
time
the

was

WHEN

not

,
but
also
vnnaturally
bereft
hym
his

and
for
the
declaracion
by
what
craftie
engine
he
first
attempted
his
vngracious
purpose
,
&
by
what
false
colourable
&
vntrue
allegacions
he
set
forth
openly
his
pretensed

,
&
fynally
by
what
shamefull
cruell

he
perfourmed

There

where
ether

that
the

although

and

But

eguall
with
the
other
,
but
in
beautee
and
lyniamentes
of
nature
farre
vnderneth
both
,
for
he
was
lytle
of
stature
,
euill
feautered
of

the

suche
as
in

is
called
a
warlike
vysage
,
and
amonge

persons
a
crabbed
face
.
He
was
malycious
,
wrothfull
and
enuyous
,
and
as
it
is
reported
,
his
mother
the
duches
had
much
a
dooe
in
her
trauayle
,
that
she
could
not
be
delyuered
of
hym
vncutte
,
and
that
he

into

the
fete
forwarde
,
as

borne
outwarde
,
and
as
the

,
not

,
whether
that
men
of

reported
aboue
the
truthe
,
or
that
nature
chaunged
his
course
in
his
begynnyng
,
which
in
his
life
many
thynges
vnnaturally
commytted
,
this
I
leue
to
Goddes
iudgement
.
He
was
none
euell
capitayn
in
warre
,
as
to
whiche
,
his
disposicion
was
more
enclyned
to
then
to
peace
.
Sondry
victories
he
had
&
some
ouerthrowes
,
but
neuer
for
defaute
in
his
owne
person
,
either
for
lacke
of
hardynes
or
polytike
order
.
Fre
he
was
of
his
dispences
&
somwhat
aboue
his
power
lyberall
,
with
large
giftes
he
gatte
hym
vnstedfast
frendship
,
for
whiche
cause
he
was
fayn
to
borowe
,
pil
&
extorte
in
other
places
,
which
gat
hym
stedfast
hatred
.
He
was
close
&
secrete
,
a
depe
dyssymuler
,
lowly
of
countenaunce
,
arrogante
of
herte
,
outwardly
famylyer
,
where
he
inwardly
hated
,
not
lettyng
to
kysse
whome
he
thought
to
kyll
dispiteous
and
cruell
,
not
alwaye
for
eiuyll
wyll
,
but
after
for
ambycion
and
to
serue
his
purpose
,
frende
&
fooe
wer
all
indifferent
,
where
his
auauntage
grewe
,
he
spared
no
mannes
death
whose
lyfe
withstode
his
purpose
.
He
slewe
in
the
towre
kyng
Henry
the
.vi.
(
saiyng
:
nowe
is
there
no
heyre
male
of
kyng
Edward
the
thyrde
,
but
we
of
the
house
of
Yorke
)
whiche
murder
was
done
without
kynge
Edwardes
assent
,
whiche
would
haue
appoynted
that
bocherlye
office
to
some
other
,
rather
then
to
his
owne
brother
.
Some
wise
men
also
wene
,
that
hys
drift
lacked
not
in
helpyng
forth
his
owne
brother
of
Clarence
to
his
death
,
whiche
thyng
in
all
apparaunce
he
resisted
,
although
he
inwardly
mynded
it
.
And
the
cause
thereof
was
,
as
men
notynge
his
doynges
and
procedynges
did
marke
(
because
that
he
longe
in
kyng
Edwardes
tyme
thought
to
opteyne
the
croune
,
in
case
that
the
kyng
his
brother
whose
life
he
loked
that
euyl
dyet
would
sone
shorten
)
should
happen
to
disease
(
as
he
did
in
dede
)
his
chyldren
beyng
young
.
And
then
that
if
duke
of
Clarence
had
lyued
his
pretensed
purpose
had
been
farre
hyndered
.
For
yf
the
duke
of
Clarence
had
kept
hym self
true
to
his
nephewe
the
yong
kyng
,
or
would
haue
taken
vpon
him
to
be
kyng
,
euery
one
of
these
castes
had
been
a
troumpe
in
the
duke
of
Gloucesters
waye
:
but
when
he
was
sure
that
hys
brother
of
Clarence
was
dead
,
then
he
knewe
that
he
might
woorke
without
ieopardye
.
But
of
these
poyntes
there
is
certentie
,
and
whosoeuer
deuyneth
or
coniectureth
maye
as
well
shote
to
ferre
as
to
shorte
,
but
this
coniecture
afterward
toke
place
(
as
fewe
dooe
)
as
you
shall
perceaue
here
after
.
But
afore
I
declare
to
you
howe
this
Rychard
duke
of
Gloucestre
began
his
mischeuous
imagened
&
pretenced
enterprise
as
apꝑantly
shal
be
opened
.
I
must
a
litle
putte
you
in
remembraunce
of
a
louyng
and
charitable
acte
no
lesse
profitable
than
amiable
to
that
whole
commynaltie
(
if
it
had
been
so
inwardely
thought
as
it
was
outwardly
dissimuled
)
whiche
kyng
Edward
did
liyng
on
his
deathe
bedde
not
long
before
he
dyed
,
for
in
his
life
althoughe
that
the
deuision
emongest
his
frendes
somewhat
greued
&
yrked
hym
,
yet
in
his
helth
he
lesse
regarded
&
tooke
hede
to
it
,
by
reason
that
he
thought
that
he
was
hable
in
all
thynges
to
rule
bothe
ꝑties
,
were
thei
neuer
so
obstinate
.
But
in
his
last
sickenesse
(
whiche
continued
longer
then
false
&
fantasticall
tales
haue
vntruly
&
falsely
surmised
as
I
my self
that
wrote
this
pamphlet
truly
knew
)
when
he
perceiued
his
natural
strength
was
gone
,
&
hoped
litle
of
recouery
by
the
artes
of
al
his
phicysyans
whiche
he
perceaued
onely
to
prolong
his
life
.
Then
he
began
to
consider
the
youth
of
his
children
,
howe
be
it
,
he
nothyng
lesse
mistrusted
then
that
that
happened
,
yet
he
wisely
forseyng
and
consideryng
that
many
harmes
might
ensue
by
that
debate
of
his
nobles
while
the
youth
of
his
children
should
lacke
discrecion
and
good
counsaill
of
their
frendes
,
for
he
knew
well
that
euery
part
would
woorke
for
their
owne
commoditee
,
and
rather
by
plesaunt
aduise
to
wynne
theim selfes
fauour
,
them
by
ꝓfitable
aduertisment
to
do
that
children
good
,
wherfore
,
liyng
on
his
death
bed
at
Westminster
he
called
to
hym
suche
lordes
as
then
wer
aboute
hym
whom
he
knewe
to
be
at
variaunce
in
especiall
the
lord
marques
Dorset
soonne
to
the
quene
,
&
the
lord
Hastynges
against
whom
the
quene
especially
grudged
for
that
fauor
that
the
kyng
bare
hym
,
&
also
she
thought
him
familier
with
the
kyng
in
wanton
compaignie
,
hir
kynne
bare
hym
sore
,
aswel
for
that
the
kyng
made
hym
capitain
of
Caleys
which
office
the
lord
Riuers
brother
to
the
quene
claimed
of
that
kynges
former
promise
,
as
of
diuerse
other
giftes
whiche
he
receaued
that
thei
loked
for
.
&
when
these
lordes
with
diuerse
other
of
both
parties
were
come
vnto
that
kynges
presens
,
he
caused
hymself
to
be
raised
vp
with
pillous
,

My
lordes
&
my
dere
kynsmen
&
alies
,
in
what
plight
I
nowe
lye
you
se
&
I
perfectly
fele
,
by
that
whiche
I
looke
that
lesse
while
to
liue
with
you
,
therfore
that
more
depely
I
am
moued
to
care
in
what
case
I
leue
you
,
for
suche
as
I
leue
you
,
suche
are
my
children
like
to
fynd
you
,
whiche
if
thei
shuld
fynd
at
variaunce
(
as
god
forbid
)
thei
theim
felfes
might
hap
to
fall
at
werre
or
their
discresion
wuld
serue
to
set
you
at
peace
,
you
s●
their
youth
,
of
whiche
I
reken
the
onely
suerty
to
rest
in
your
concord
.
For
it
suffiseth
not
all
you
to
loue
theim
,
if
eche
of
you
hate
other
,
if
thei
wer
men
your
feithfullnes
might
hap
to
suffice
,
but
childhod
must
be
mainteined
by
mennes
autorite
&
slipꝑ
youth
vnderprōpted
with
elder
counsaill
,
whiche
thei
can
neuer
haue
except
you
geue
it
,
nor
you
geue
it
except
you
agre
,
for
wher
eche
laboureth
to
breake
that
other
maketh
,
&
for
hatred
eche
impugneth
others
counsail
:
ther
must
nedes
be
a
long
tract
or
any
good
conclusion
can
forward
.
And
ferther
,
while
eche
ꝑtie
laboreth
to
be
chief
flaterer
,
adulacion
shall
then
haue
more
place
,
than
plain
&
feithful
aduise
,
of
whiche
must
nedes
ensue
that
euill
bringyng
vp
of
the
prince
whose
mynd
in
tender
youth
infecte
shall
redily
fall
to
mischief
&
riot
&
drawe
doune
this
noble
realme
to
ruyne
.
But
if
grace
turne
hym
to
wisdome
(
whiche
god
send
hym
)
them
thei
which
by
eiuill
meanes
pleased
hym
best
,
shall
after
fal
farthest
out
of
fauour
so
that
at
the
length
euell
driftes
driue
to
naught
,
&
good
plain
wayes
ꝓsper
&
florishe
.
Great
variaunce
hath
euer
been
betwene
you
,
not
alwais
for
great
causes
Some
tyme
a
thyng
right
wel
entendid
&
miscontrued
hath
been
turned
to
that
woorse
,
or
a
smal
displeasure
dooen
to
you
ether
by
your
owne
affecion
ether
by
instigacion
of
eiuill
toonges
hath
been
sore
agrauate
.
But
this
I
wot
well
,
you
had
neuer
so
great
cause
of
hatred
as
you
haue
of
loue
,
because
we
be
men
&
that
we
be
all
christen
men
.
This
I
will
leaue
to
prechers
to
tell
you
,
&
yet
I
wot
not
whether
any
p̄chers
wordes
ought
more
to
moue
you
,
than
that
his
gooyng
by
&
by
to
the
place
that
thei
all
preche
of
.
But
this
shal
I
desire
you
to
remember
that
the
one
part
of
you
beyng
of
my
blod
that
other
of
my
alies
,
&
eche
of
you
with
other
either
of
kynred
or
affinite
,
whiche
is
that
very
spirituall
affinitie
&
kynred
in
christ
as
all
partakers
of
that
sacamentes
of
christes
churche
.
The
weight
of
whiche
consanguynite
if
we
did
beare
as
would
to
god
we
did
,
then
should
we
more
be
moued
to
spirituall
charite
then
to
fleshly
consanguinyte
.
Our
lord
forbid
that
you
loue
that
woorse
together
for
the
self
same
cause
that
you
ought
to
loue
the
better
&
yet
that
often
happeneth
,
for
no
wher
fynd
we
so
dedly

emongest
theim
whiche
by

Suche

&
at

Of
whiche
immoderate
appetite
of
woorship
&
the
debate
&
discencion
that
grewe
there
by
,
what
losse
,
what

,
what

hath
win
these
fewe
yeres

,
I
praye
God
as
well
to

as
we
well
remember
,
whiche
thyng
if
I
could
aswell
haue
forsene
as
I
haue
with
my
more
pane
than
pleasure
proued
,
by

des
blessed

(
that
was
his
common
othe
)
I
would
neuer
haue
wonne
the
curtesyes
of

with
the
losse
of
so
many
heddes
.
But
sith
thynges
passed
can
not
be
called
agayn
,
muche
more
ought
we
to
bee
ware
,
by
what
occasion
we
haue
taken
so
great
hurte
before
,
that
we
eftsones
fall
not
into
that
occasion
again
.
Nowe
bee
these
greues
passed
and
all
is
quiet
thanked
bee
God
,
&
likely
well
to
prosper
in
welthfull
peace
,
vnder
your

if
God

Of

thynges

though

yet
should
this

alwayes
fynd

&
peraduentur
as
good
kynges
as
thei
.
But
if
you
emongest
your selfes
in
a

reigne
fall
at
debate
,
many
a
good
manne
shall
innocently
perishe

&
happely
he
&
you
also
,
or
it
is
long
fynd
peace

quiet
again
,
wherfore
in
these
last
woordes
that
euer
I
looke
to
speake
to
you
,
I
exhort
and
require
you
all
,
for
the
loue
that
you
haue
borne
to

and
for
that

that
I
haue
borne
to
you
&
for
the

our

bereth
to

From
this
tyme
forward
all
greues
forgotten
,
eche
of
you

which
I
verely

And
there

no

layde
hym

And
ther

so
hartely

with
the

of

nor

At

the

that

for

Henry
that

(
whom

was
wel

in

into
his
fauour
(
of
the
which
he
was
neuer
straunge
)
when
it
was
with
true
harte
demaunded
.
He
was
goodly
of
personage
&
princely
to
beholde
,
of
hert
couragious
,
politike
in

,
and
in

,
in

in

,
&

neuerthelesse
no

reason
and

woulde

,
whose
warres
whosoeuer

he
shal
no
lesse
commend
his
wisdome
&
policie
where
he
auoyded
theim
.
then
his
manhode
where
he
vanquished
theim
.
He
was
of
visage
full
faced
&
louelie
,
of
bodie
mightie
,
stronge
&
cleane
made
,
with
ouer
lyberall
and
wanton
dyet
,
he
waxed
somewhat
corpulent
&
bourly
,
but
neuerthelesse
not
vncomely
.
He
was
of
youth
greatly
geuen
to
fleshely
wantonnes
,
from
that
which
health
of
bodie
in
great
prosperitee
&
fortune
with
out
an
especiall
grace
hardlye
refrayneth
.
Thys
faulte
litle
greued
his
people
,
for
neyther
coulde
any
one
mannes

stretche
or
extende
to
the
displeasure
of
veraye
many
,
nor
a
multitude
bee
greued
by
a
priuate
mannes
fantesie
or
volupteousnesse
,
when
it
was
doen
without
violence
.
And
in
his
latter
dayes
he
left
al
wild
daliaunce
&
fel
to
grauitee
,
so
that
he
brought
his
realme
into
a
wealthie
&
ꝓsperous
estate
,
al
feare
of
outwarde
enemies
were
clerely
extinguished
,
&
no
warre
was
in
hande
nor
none
toward
,
but
suche
as
no
man
looked
for
.
The
people
wer
toward
their
prince
not
in
a
constrayned
feare
,
but
in
a
true
louyng
and
wylfull
obedience
emongest
theimselfe
,
and
the
commons
wer
in
good
peace
.
The
lordes
whome
he
knewe
at
variaunce
,
he
in
his
death
bed
(
as
he
thought
)
he
brought
to
good
concord
,
loue
and
amytee
.
And
a
lytle
before
his
death
,
he
left
gatheryng
of
mony
of
his
subiectes
,
whiche
is
the
only
thyng
that
draweth
that
heartes
of
Englyshmen
from
their
kynges
&
prynces
,
nor
nothyng
he
ether
entreprysed
ndr
toke
in
hand
,
by
that
which
he
shuld
be
dryuen
thereunto
.
For
his
tribute
out
of
Fraunce
he
had
a
litle
before
recouered
&
obteyned
.
And
that
yere
before
he
dyed
he
recouered
the
toune
of
Berwike
against
that
kyng
of
Scottes
.
And
albeit
that
all
that
tyme
of
his
reigne
he
was
so
benigne
courteous
and
famylyer
,
that
no
parte
of
his
vertues
was
estemed
more
than
those
high
humilitees
.
Yet
that
condycion
in
th
ende
of
his
last
dayes
decayed
not
,
in
the
whiche
many
princes
by
a
longe
continued
souereingtie
,
declyne
to
a
proude
porte
&
behaueoure
from
theyr
condicions
accustomed
at
their
begynnyng
.
Yet
lowlynes
and
gentlenes
so
farre
forth
in
hym
encreased
that
the
sommer
before
died
,
he
beyng
at
the
haueryng
at
the
bowre
,
sente
for
the
mayre
and
aldermenne
of
London
thyther
only
to
hunte
and
make
pastyme
,
where
he
made
theim
not
so
hartie
but
so
famylyer
and
frendlye
chere
,
and
sent
also
to
theyr
wyues
suche
plentie
of
venyson
,
that
no
one
thyng
in
many
dayes
before
gatte
hym
eyther
mo
heartes
or
more
hartie
fauoure
emongest
the
commen
people
,
whiche
often
tymes
more
esteme
and
take
for
greate
kyndnes
a
lytle
courtesye
,
then
a
greate
profyte
or
benefyte
.
And
so
this
noble
prynce
deceassed
,
as
you
haue
hearde
in
that
tyme
when
his
lyfe
was
mooste
desyred
,
&
when
his
people
moste
desyred
to
kepe
hym
.
Whiche
loue
of
his
people
&
their
entiere
affeccion
towarde
hym
,
had
bene
to
his
noble
chyldren
,
(
hauyng
in
theim selfes
also
as
many
gyftes
of
nature
,
as
many
princely
vertues
,
as
much
good
towardnesse
as
their
age
coulde
receaue
)
a
meruelous
fortresse
and
a
sure
armoure
,
yf
the
deuysion
and
dissencion
of
their
frendes
had
not
vnarmed
them
&
left
them
destitute
,
&
the
execrable
desyre
of
souereingtie
ꝓuoked
him
to
their
destruccion
,
which
if
either
kynd
or
kyndnesse
had
holden
place
muste
nedes
haue
been
their
chiese
defence
.
For
Richarde
duke
of
Glouceter
,
by
nature
their
vncle
,
by
office
their
protectoure
,
to
their
father
greatly
beholden
and
to
theim
by
othe
and
allegeaunce
bounden
all
the
bandes
broken
and
violated
,
that
bynde
manne
and
manne
together
,
withoute
anye
respecte
of
God
or
the
worlde
,
vnnaturally
contryued
to
bereaue
theim
not
onely
of
their
dignytee
and
preheminence
,
but
also
of
their
natural
lyues
and
worldely
felicytee
.
And
fyrste
to
shewe
you
that
by
coniecture
he
pretended
this
thing
in
his
brothers
lyfe
,
ye
shall
vnderstande
for
a
trueth
that
the
same
nyght
that
king
Edward
died
,
one
called
Mistelbrooke
,
long
ere
the
daye
sprange
came
to
the
house
of
one
Potier
dwelling
in
Redcrosse
strete
withoute
Creple
gate
of
London
,
and
when
he
was
with
hastie
rapping
,
quickely
let
in
,
the
saied
Mistelbrooke
shewed
vnto
Potier
that
kyng
Edward
was
that
nighte
deceased
:
by
my
trueth
ꝙ
Potier
,
then
wil
my
master
the
duke
of
Gloucetre
be
kyng
and
that
I
warrant
the.
What
cause
he
had
so
to
thinke
,
harde
it
is
to
say
,
whether
he
being
his
seruaunt
knewe
any
such
thing
prepensed
or
otherwise
had
any
inklingther
of
,
but
of
all
likelihode
he
spake
it
not
of
naughte
.
But
nowe
to
retourne
to
the
trewe
history
,
wer
it
that
the
duke
of
Gloucetre
had
of
olde
sore
practised
this
conclusyon
,
or
was
before
tyme
moued
therunto
and
put
in
hope
by
the
tender
age
of
the
young
princes
his
nephewes
,
as
oportunitee
and
likely
of
spede
putteth
a
manne
in
courage
of
that
that
he
neuer
entended
.
Certen
it
is
,
that
he
being
in
the
Northe
partyes
for
the
good
gouernaunce
of
the
countrey
,
being
aduertised
of
his
brothers
deathe
contriued
the
destruccion
of
his
nephewes
with
that
vsurpacion
of
the
roiall
dignitee
&
croune
And
for
asmuche
as
he
well
wyste
,
and
had
holpe
to
maynteine
,
a
long
continued
grudge
and
harte
burnynge
betwene
the
Quenes
kynred
and
the
kynges
bloodde
(
either
parte
enuiyng
others
authorytee
)
he
nowe
thought
(
as
it
was
in
dede
)
a
fertherly
beginning
to
the
pursute
of
his
entent
and
a
sure
grounde
&
situacion
of
his
vnnaturall
building
,
if
he
might
vnder
the
pretence
of
remembring
of
olde
dyspleasures
abuse
the
ignoraunce
&
angre
of
the
one
partie
to
the
destruccion
of
that
other
,
and
then
to
wynne
to
his
purpose
as
many
as
he
coulde
,
and
suche
as
coulde
not
bee
wonne
,
might
bee
loste
or
they
looked
therfore
.
But
of
one
thing
he
was
certaine
,
that
if
his
intent
wer
once
perceaued
,
he
should
haue
made
peace
betwene
both
parties
with
his
owne
bloodde
,
but
all
his
intente
he
kept
secrete
tyll
he
knewe
his
frendes
,
of
the
whiche
Henry
the
duke
of
Buckingham
was
the
fyrste
that
sent
to
hym
after
his
brothers
deathe
a
trusty
seruaunt
of
his
called
Persall
to
the
cytee
of
Yorke
,
where
the
Duke
of
Gloucetre
kepte
the
kyng
his
brothers
funeralles
.
This
Persall
came
to
Iohn
Ward
a
secrete
chaumberer
to
the
duke
of
Gloucetre
,
desiryng
that
he
in
close
and
couerte
manier
might
speake
with
the
duke
his
maister
:
wherupon
in
the
deed
of
the
nyght
the
duke
sente
for
Persall
(
all
other
beyng
aduoyded
)
whiche
shewed
to
the
duke
of
Gloucetre
that
the
duke
of
Buckingham
his
maister
in
this
newe
worlde
would
take
suche
parte
as
he
woulde
&
woulde
farther
wayte
vpon
hym
with
a.
M.
good
fellowes
yf
nede
were
.
The
duke
sent
backe
that
messanger
with
great
thankes
and
diuerse
preuey
instruccions
by
mouthe
,
which
Persall
did
somuche
by
his
trauaile
that
he
came
to
the
duke
of
Buckyngham
his
maister
into
the
marches
of
Wales
,
&
eftsones
with
newe
instruccions
met
with
the
duke
of
Gloucetre
at
Notingham
,
whiche
was
come
oute
of
the
Northcountrey
with
many
knightes
&
gentylmenne
to
the
noumbre
of
.vi.
C.
horse
&
more
,
in
his
iourney
towarde
London
.
And
after
secrete
meting
and
communicacion
had
betwene
hym
&
the
duke
of
Gloucetre
he
retourned
with
suche
spede
that
he
brought
the
duke
of
Buckingham
his
master
to
mete
with
the
duke
of
Gloucetre
not
farre
from
Northampton
with
.iii.
C.
horsses
,
&
so
they
twoo
came
together
to
Northampton
where
they
fyrst
beganne
their
vnhappy
enterprice
,
and
so
the
duke
of
Buckingham
contynued
stil
with
the
duke
of
Gloucetre
till
he
was
crouned
kyng
,
as
ye
shall
plainly
perceaue
hereafter
.
The
younge
kyng
at
the
deathe
of
his
father
kepte
housholde
at
Ludlowe
,
for
his
father
had
sente
hym
thyther
for
Iustice
to
bee
doone
in
the
marches
of
Wales
,
to
the
ende
that
by
the
authoritee
of
his
presence
,
the
wylde
Welshemenne
and
euell
dysposed
personnes
shoulde
refraine
frome
their
accustomed
murthers
and
outerages
.
The
gouernaunce
of
this
younge
Prynce
was
committed
to
Lorde
Anthony
Wooduile
,
Earle
Riuers
&
Lorde
Scales
,
brother
to
the
Quene
,
a
wise
,
hardye
and
honourable
personage
,
as
valyaunte
of
hande
as
pollitick
of
counsell
,
and
with
him
were
assocyate
other
of
the
same
partye
,
and
in
effecte
euery
one
as
he
was
nere
of
kinne
vnto
the
quene
so
was
he
planted
nexte
aboute
the
Prynce
.
That
dryfte
by
the
Quene
semed
to
bee
deuysed
,
whereby
her
bloodde
myghte
of
ryghte
in
tender
youth
bee
so
planted
in
the
prynces
fauoure
,
that
afterwarde
it
shoulde
hardely
bee
eradicated
oute
of
the
same
.
The
duke
of
Gloucetre
turned
all
this
to
their
distruccion
,
and
vpon
that
grounde
sette
the
foundacion
of
his
vnhappy
building
.
For
whome
soeuer
he
perceaued
to
bee
at
varyaunce
with
theim
,
or
to
beare
toward
hym self
any
fauoure
,
he
brake
vnto
theim
,
some
by
mouthe
,
some
by
writing
and
secrete
messengers
,
that
it
was
neither
reason
nor
yet
to
bee
suffered
that
the
younge
kyng
their
maister
and
kinsmanne
should
bee
in
the
handes
and
custody
of
his
mothers
kinrede
,
sequestred
in
maner
frome
their
company
&
attendaunce
,
of
which
euery
one
ought

as
faithfull
seruice
as
they
,
and
many
of
theim
of

more
honorable
parte
of

then
his

,
whose
bloodde
ꝙ
the
Duke
of
Gloucetre
sauyng
the
Kynges
pleasure
,
was
farre
vnmete
to
bee
matched
with
his
,
whiche
nowe
to
bee
remoued
frome
the
kyng
and
the
least
noble
to
bee
lefte
aboute

is
,
ꝙ

&
also
to

greate
authorytee
with
the
king
in

,
namely
whiche
is
light
of
belefe
and
soone
perswaded
.
Ye
remembre
that
kyng
Edward

,
albeit
he
was
both

honour
and
of
great
power
,
the
one
by
long
sucecessiō
from
his
aunceters
,
the
other
by
hys
offyces
and
the
kynges
fauoure
.
These
two
not
bearynge
eache
to
other
so
muche
loue
as
hatred
,
both
to
the
quenes
bloodde
accorded
together
with
the
duke
of
Glouceter
that
they
would
remoue
frome
the
kyng
all
his
mothers
frendes
,
vnder
the
name
of
theyr
enemyes
.
Wherupon
the
duke
of
Glouceter
beynge
aduertysed
that
the
lordes
about
the
kyng
entended
to
brynge
him
to
London
to
hys
coronation
,
accompanyed
wyth
such
a
nomber
of
theyr
frendes
that
it
shoulde
be
harde
for
hym
to
bryng
hys
purpose
to
passe
wythoute
the
assemblinge
and
gathering
of
people
and
in
maner
of
open
warre
,
wherof
the
ende
he
wyst
was
doubtefull
,
and
in
the
whyche
,
the
kynge
beynge
on
the
other
syde
,
he
shoulde
haue
the
name
and
face
of
rebellion
.
He
secretelye
therefore
by
dyuers
meanes
,
caused
the
quene
to
be
perswaded
that
it
was
nether
nede
and
shoulde
also
bee
ieopardeous
the
kinge
to
come
vp
so
stronge
,
for
as
nowe
,
euery
lorde
loued
other
and
none
other
thynge
studyed
for
,
but
the
tryumphe
of
his
coronation
and
honoure
of
that
kyng
.
And
the
lordes
aboute
the
kyng
,
should
assemble
in
the
kinges
name
much
people
,
they
shuld
geue
the
lordes
betwyxte
whome
and
theim
there
had
bene
some
tyme
debate
,
to
feare
and
suspecte
leaste
they
shoulde
gather
thys
people
,
not
for
the
kynges
sauegarde
,
whom
no
man
impugned
,
but
for
theyr
destruccyon
,
hauynge
more
regarde
to
theyr
olde
varyaunce
then
to
theyr
newe
attonemente
,
for
the
whyche
cause
they
on
the
other
part
myght
assemble
men
also
for
theyr
defence
,
whose
powres
she
wyste
well
farre
stretched
,
and
thus
should
al
the
realme
fall
in
a
roare
,
and
of
the
mischiefe
that
thereof
shoulde
ensue
(
whiche
was
lykly
to
be
not
a
lytle
)
the
most
harme
was
lyke
to
fal
where
she
leaste
woulde
,
and
then
all
the
worlde
woulde
put
her
and
her
kynred
in
the
blame
,
saiynge
that
they
had
vnwselye
and
vntruely
broken
the
amytie
and
peace
whyche
the
kynge
her
husbande
had
so
prudently
made
betwene
her
kinred
&
hys
,
whyche
amytee
hys
kinne
had
alwaies
obserued
.
The
quene
beyng
thus
perswaded
sente
worde
to
the
kynge
and
to
her
brother
,
that
there
was
no
cause
ner
nede
to
assemble
anye
people
,
and
also
the
duke
of
Glouceter
and
other
lordes
of
his
bend
wrot
vnto
the
kinge
so
reuerently
and
to
the
quenes
frendes
there
so
louyngely
,
that
they
nothing
earthlye
mystrustyng
,
broughte
the
young
kyng
toward
London
with
a
sober
compaignie
in
greate
hast
(
but
not
in
good
spede
)
til
he
came
to
Northampton
,
and
from
thence
he
remoued
to
Stony
stratford
On
whyche
daye
,
the
two
dukes
and
theyr
bende
came
to
Northampton
,
faynynge
that
Stonye
stratforde
coulde
not
lodge
theim
all
,
where
they
founde
the
Earle
Ryuers
,
entendynge
the
nexte
moruynge
to
haue
folowed
the
kynge
,
and
to
bee
wyth
hym
earely
in
the
mornyng
.
So
that
nyght
the
dukes
made
to
the
earle
Riuers
frendly
chere
but
assone
as
they
were
departed
verye
famylier
wyth
greate
curtesie
in
open
syghte
and
the
erle
Riuers
lodged
,
the
.ii.
dukes
with
a
few
of
theyr
pryuye
frendes
fell
to
councell
wherein
they
spente
a
greate
part
of
the
nyght
,
and
in
the
dawning
of
the
daye
they
sente
about
pryuely
to
ther
seruauntes
in
theyr
lodgynges
to
haste
to
horsebacke
for
theyr
lordes
were
in
maner
redy
to
ryde
,
wheruppon
all
theyr
seruauntes
were
ready
or
the
Lorde
Ryuers
seruauntes
wer
awake
.
Nowe
had
the
dukes
taken
the
keyes
of
the
ynne
in
to
theyr
possession
,
so
that
none
shoulde
yssue
oute
wythout
their
concente
.
And
ouer
thys
in
the
hygh
way
toward
Stony
stratforde
they
set
certaine
of
theyr
folkes
that
shoulde
cause
and
compell
to
retourne
again
all
persons
that
were
passinge
frome
Nōrthampton
to
Stony
stratforde
,
sayinge
that
the
dukes
theim selfes
woulde
be
the
fyrst
that
should
come
to
the
kynge
from
Northampton
,
thus
they
bare
folkes
in
hande
.
But
when
the
earle
Ryuers
vnderstode
the
gates
closed
and
the
wayes
on
euery
syde
beset
,
nether
hys
seruauntes
,
nether
hym self
suffered
to
goo
oute
,
perceauinge
so
great
a
thing
wythoute
his
knowledge
,
not
begon
for
noughte
,
comparyng
thys
preasent
dooynge
wyth
the
laste
nyghtes
cherein
so
fewe
houres
,
so
great
a
chaunce
marueleously
myslyked
it
.
Howbeit
,
syth
,
he
could
not
get
awaye
,
he
determined
not
to
kepe
him self
close
,
leaste
he
shoulde
seme
to
hyde
hym selfe
for
some
secret
fear
of
hys
owne
faute
,
wherof
he
saw
no
such
cause
in
him selfe
,
wherfore
,
on
the
suretie
of
hys
owne
consience
he
determyned
to
go
to
them
and
to
inquire
what
thys
matter
myghte
meane
.
Whome
assone
as
they
saw
,
they
beganne
to
quarell
wyth
hym
,
affyrmyng
that
he
pretended
to
set
dystaunce
betwene
the
kyng
and
theim
to
bryng
theim
to
confucyon
,
whyche
should
not
lye
in
his
powre
and
when
he
began
as
he
was
an
el
oequēt
manne
)
in
godly
wise
to
excuse
hym self
thei
would
not
here
his
aunswer
but
tooke
hym
by
force
and
putte
hym
to
ward
.
And
then
he
mounted
on
horsback
and
came
in
Stony
stratford
wher
the
kyng
was
goyng
to
horsbacke
,
because
he
would
leaue
the
lodgyng
for
theim
,
for
it
was
to
strayte
for
bothe
the
compaignies
.
And
when
thei
came
to
his
presence
thei
alighted
and
their
compaignie
aboute
theim
,
and
on
their
knees
saluted
hym
,
and
he
theim
gentely
receaued
,
nothyng
erthely
knowyng
ner
mistrustyng
as
yet
.
The
duke
of
Buckyngham
saied
aloude
,
on
afore
gentlemenne
and
yomenne
kepe
your
roumes
,
and
therwith
in
that
kyng
his
presence
thei
picked
a
quarell
to
the
lord
Rychard
Grey
the
quenes
soonne
and
brother
to
the
lord
marques
&
halfe
brother
to
the
kyng
,
saiyng
that
he
and
the
marques
his
brother
and
the
lorde
Ryuers
his
vncle
had
compassed
to
rule
the
kyng
&
the
realme
and
sette
varyaunce
betwene
th
estates
,
and
to
subdewe
and
destroye
the
noble
bloodde
of
the
realme
.
And
toward
th
accomplishment
of
the
same
,
thei
saied
the
lord
marques
had
entred
into
the
toure
of
London
,
&
thence
had
taken
oute
treasure
and
sent
menne
to
the
sea
,
whiche
thynges
these
dukes
knewe
well
were
dooen
for
a
good
purpose
&
as
very
necessary
,
appoincted
by
that
whole
counsail
at
London
,
but
somewhat
thei
must
haue
saied
,
vnto
the
whiche
woordes
the
kyng
aunswered
:
what
my
brother
Marques
hath
dooen
I
cannot
saie
,
but
in
good
faith
I
dare
well
aunswer
for
myne
vncle
Ryuers
and
my
brother
here
,
that
thei
bee
innocent
of
suche
mattiers
,
yee
my
leege
ꝙ
the
duke
of
Buckyngham
,
thei
haue
kepte
the
dealyng
of
these
matters
farre
from
the
knowledge
of
your
good
grace
,
and
foorthwith
thei
arrested
the
lord
Rychard
and
sir
Thomas
Vaugham
and
sir
Rychard
Hawte
in
the
kyng
his
presence
&
brought
the
kyng
and
all
to
Northampton
,
where
thei
tooke
ferther
counsaill
in
their
affaires
.
And
there
thei
sent
from
the
kyng
whom
it
pleased
theim
,
and
set
aboute
hym
suche
seruauntes
as
better
pleased
theim
then
hym
.
At
whiche
dealyng
he
wept
,
but
it
booted
not
.
And
at
dynner
the
duke
of
Gloucester
sent
a
dyshe
from
his
owne
table
to
the
lorde
Ryuers
,
praiyng
hym
to
bee
of
good
chere
and
all
should
bee
well
,
he
thanked
hym
and
prayed
the
messenger
to
beare
it
to
his
nephiewe
the
lord
Rychard
with
like
woordes
,
whom
he
knewe
to
haue
neede
of
conforte
,
as
one
to
whom
suche
aduersite
was
straunge
,
but
he
hym self
had
been
all
his
dayes
ennured
therwith
and
therfore
could
beare
it
.
But
for
all
this
message
,
the
duke
of
Gloucester
sent
the
lord
Ryuers
,
the
lord
Rychard
and
sir
Thomas
Vaughm̄
and
sir
Rychard
Hawte
into
the
Northparties
into
dyuers
prisones
,
but
at
last
all
came
to
Poumfrette
where
thei
all
foure
were
behedded
without
iudge●et
.
In
this
maner
as
you
haue
heard
,
the
duke
of
Gloucester
tooke
on
hym
the
gouernaunce
of
the
younge
kyng
,
whom
with
muche
reuerence
he
conueighed
towardes
London
.
These
tidynges
came
hastely
to

before
mydnight
by
a
very
sore

,
that
the

With

was
perswaded
to

the
gatheryng

but

,
and
therfore

and

,
and
she

all

The

there
came

and
lorde

a

(
Well

)
bee

it
will
neuer

and
then
the

Whereupon
the
bysshop
called
vp
his
seruauntes
before
daye
light
,
and
tooke
with
hym
the
greate
seale
and
came
before
daye
to
the
quene
about
whom
he
founde
muche
heuynesse
,
rumble
,
haste
,
busynesse
,
conuerghaunce
and
caryage
of

,
no

and
some

.
The
quene
sat
alone
belowe
on
the
russhes
all
desolate
and
dysmaied
,
whom
the
archebisshop
conforted
in
the
best
maner
that
he
coulde
,
shewynge
her
that
the
matter
was
nothynge
so
sore
as
she
tooke
it
for
,
and
that
he
was
put
in
good
hope
and
oute
of
feare
by
the
message
sente
to
hym
from
the
lorde
Hastinges
.
A
wo
worth
him
ꝙ
the
quene
for
it
is
he
that
goeth
aboute
to
destroye
me
and
my

.
Madame
ꝙ

,
be
of
good
comforte
and
I
assure
you
,
yf
they
crowne
anye
other
king
then
your

whome
they
nowe
haue
,
we
shal
on
the
morowe
croune
his
brother
whom
you
haue
here
with
you
.
And
here
is
the
greate
seale
,
which
in
lykewise
as
your
noble
husbande
delyuered
it
to
me
,
so
I
deliuer
it
to
you
to
the
vse
of
your
sonne
and
therewyth
delyuered
her
the
greate
seale
,
and
departed
home
in
the
dawnynge
of
the
daye
,
and
when
he
opened
his
windowes
and
looked
on
the
Themys
,
he
myghte
see
the
riuer
ful
of
boates
of
the

of
Glouceter
hys
seruauntes
watchyng
that
no
person
shoulde
goo
to
sanctuary
ner
none
shoulde
passe
vnserched

Then
was
there
great
rumoure
and
commocion
in
the
citee
and
in
other
places
,
the
people
diuersly
deuined
vpon
thys
dealyng

And
dyuerse
lordes
knyghtes
and
gentylmen
,
ether
for
fauour
of
the
quene
or
for
feare
of
them selues
,
assembled
compaignies
together
and
went
flockyng
together
in
harneyes
And
many
also
,
for
that
they
recompted
thys
demeanour
attempted
,
not
so
especyallye
agaynst
other
lordes
as
agaynst
the
kyng
him self
in
the
dysturbaunce
of
hys
coronation
,
therefore
they
assembled
by
and
by
together
to
common
of
thys
matter
at
London
.
The
archebyshoppe
of
Yorke
fearynge
that
it
woulde
be
ascrybed
(
as
it
was
in
dede
)
to
ouermuche
lightnes
that
he
so
sodeynly
had
yelded
vp
the
great

to
the

,
to
whome
the

therof
nothyng

without

secretly
sent
for
the
seale
agayn
&
brought
it
wyth
hym
after
the
accustomed
maner
to

At
this
metyng
was
the
lord
Hastynges
,
whose
truthe
towarde
the
kyng
no
manne
doubted
nor
neded
not
to

,
perswaded
the
lordes
to

,
that
the
duke
of
Glouceter
was
faythfull
&

,
and
that

Ryuers
,
the

by
theim
agaynste
the

&
Buckyngham
put

,
for
their

,
and
not
for

and
that
they
were
also
in

there
to
remayne
,
tyll

not

only
)
but
also
by

of

councell
indifferentlye
examyned
,
and
by
their
discrecions
ordred
and
eyther
iudged
or
appesed
.
And
one
thyng
he
aduysed
theim
to
beware
of
,
that
they
iudged
not

and
disturbyng
the

,
toward

the

wer
commyng
,
for
that
then
might
paraduenture
bryng
that
matter
so
farre
out
of

,
that
it
shoulde
neuer
bee
brought
in

,
whiche
yf
it
should
happe
as
it
were
lykely
to

though
all

were

all
other
thynges
eguall
,
yet
shoulde
the
autoryte
bee
on
that
syde
,
where
the
kynge
is
hym selfe
,
with
these
persuasyons
of
the
lorde
Hastynges
,
whereof
parte
he
hym selfe
belcued
,
and
of
parte
he
wyste
well
the
contrarye
,
these
commocyons
were
somewhat
appeased
.
But
in
especiall
,
because
the
dukes
of
Buckyngham
and
Glouceter
wer
so
nere
and
came
on
so
shortly
with
the
kynge
,
in
none
other
maner
,
nor
none
other
voyce
or
sembleaunce
then
to
his
coronacion
,
causyng
the
fame
to
be
blowen
about
that
suche
persones
as
were
apprehended
had
contryued
the
distruccion
of
the
dukes
of
Gloucetre
and
of
Buekyngham
and
other
of
the
noble
bloodde
of
thys
realme
,
to
th
entent
that
thei
alone
would
rule
and
gouerne
the
kyng
.
And
for
the
coloure
therof
,
such
of
the
dukes
seruauntes
as
rode
with
the
cartes
of
their
stuffe
which
wer
taken
,
amonge
the
which
stuffe
no
maruayle
thoughe
some
were
harneyes
whiche
at
the
brekynge
vp
of
suche
an
housholde
muste
be
brought
awaye
or
caste
awaye
,
they
shewed
to
the
people
,
and
as
they
went
sayde
:
lo
,
here
be
the
barrelles
of
harneyes
that
these
traytoures
hadde
preuely
conueighed
in
their
caryages
to
destroye
the
noble
lordes
withall
.
This
dyuerse
,
(
although
it
made
the
matter
to
wise
menne
more
vnlykely
)
well
perceauyng
that
thentendoures
of
suche
a
purpose
woulde
rather
haue
had
theyr
harnesse
on
theyr
backes
,
then
to
haue
bounde
theim
vp
in

,
yet
muche
parte
of

were
therewith
ryght
well
satisfyed
.
When
the
kyng
approched
nere
the
cytie
,
Edmonde
Shawe
Goldesmythe
then
Mayre
of
the
cytie
with
the
aldremenne
and
shreues
in
skarlet
,
and
fyue
hundreth
commoners
in
murraye
receaued
his
grace
reuerently
at
Harnesaye
parke
,
and
so
conueighed
hym
to
the
cytee
,
where
he
entred
the
fourthe
daye
of
Maye
,
in
the
fyrste
and
laste
yeare
of
his
reigne
,
and
was
lodged
in
the
bisshoppes
palayce
,
but
the
duke
of
Goucetre
bare
hym
in
open
sight
so
reuerently
,
saiyng
to
all
men
as
he
rode
,
beholde
youre
prynce
and
souereygne
lorde
,
and
made
suche
sembleaunce
of
lowlynes
to
his
prince
,
that
frome
the
greate
obloquy
that
he
was
in
so
late
before
,
he
was
sodeynly
fallen
in
so
greate
truste
,
that
at
the
councell
next
assembled
he
was
made
the
onlye
chiefe
ruler
and
thoughte
mooste
mete
to
bee
protectoure
of
the
kynge
and
his
realme
,
so
that
,
were
it
desteny
or
were
it
folye
,
the
lambe
was
betaken
to
the
wolfe
to
kepe
.
At
whiche
councell
the
archebyshoppe
of
yorke
was
sore
blamed
for
delyueryng
the
greate
seale
to
the
quene
,
and
the
seale
taken
from
hym
and
delyueto
docter
Iohn
Russell
byshoppe
of
Lyncolne
,
a
wyse
manne
and
a
good
and
of
muche
experyence
,
and
dyuerse
lordes
and
knightes
were
appoynted
to
dyuerse
roumes
,
the
lorde
chamberlayn
and
some
other
kepte
the
roumes
that
they
were
in
before
,
but
not
many
.
Nowe
were
it
so
that
the
protectour
(
whiche
alwayes
you
muste
take
for
the
duke
of
Gloucetre
)
sore
thristed
for
the
acheuyng
of
his
pretensed
entrepryse
and
thought
euerye
daye
a
yere
tyll
it
were
perfourmed
,
yet
durste
he
no
ferther
attempte
aslong
as
he
hadde
but
halfe
his
praye
in
hys
hande
,
well
wyttynge
that
yf
he
deposed
the
one
brother
,
all
the
realme
would
fall
to
the
other
,
yf
he
remayned
in
sanctuary
or
should
happely
be
shortelie
conueyghed
to
his
farther
libertee
.
Wherfore
in
continent
at
the
next
metyng
of
the
lordes
in
councell
,
he
purposed
to
theim
that
it
was
an
heynous
thyng
of
the
quene
,
&
procedyng
of
great
malyce
toward
the
kynges
councelers
that
she
shoulde
kepe
the
kynges
brother
in
sanctuarye
from
hym
whose
special
pleasure
&
conforte
wer
to
haue
his
brother
with
hym
,
and
that
to
be
done
by
her
to
none
other
intent
but
to
bryng
all
the
lordes
in
an
obloquy
and
murmoure
of
the
people
,
as
though
they
wer
not
to
be
trusted
with
the
kynges
brother
,
which
lordes
wer
by
that
whole
ass●t
of
the
nobles
of
that
realme
appoynted
as
that
kynges
nere
frendes
to
the
tuycion
of
his
royall
person
,
the
prosperitee
wherof
(
ꝙ
he
)
standeth
not
alonely
from
the
kepyng
of
enemyes
&
euill
dyate
,
but
partely
also
in
recreacion
&
moderate
pleasure
,
whiche
he
cannot
take
in
his
tendre
youth
in
the
company
of
old
&
auncient
persons
,
but
in
the
famylyer
conuersacion
of
those
that
be
not
farre
vnder
nor
farre
aboue
his
age
,
&
neuerthelesse
of
estate
conuenient
to
accompany
his
maiestie
wherfore
with
whom
rather
then
with
his
owne
brothere
and
if
any
man
thinke
this
consyderacion
light
(
I
thynke
no
man
so
thinketh
that
loueth
the
kyng
)
let
hym
consyder
that
sometyme
that
with
out
smal
thynges
,
greater
cannot
stande
,
and
verelye
it
redoundeth
greatly
to
the
dyshonoure
of
the
kynges
highnes
and
of
all
vs
that
bee
about
his
grace
to
haue
it
come
in
any
mannes
mouthe
,
not
in
this
realme
onely
,
but
also
in
other
landes
(
as
euell
woordes
walke
farre
)
that
the
kynges
brother
should
be
fayne
to
kepe
sanctuary
.
For
euery
man
wyl
iudge
that
no
man
wil
so
do
for
nought
,
&
such
opinions
fastened
in
mennes
hertes
be
harde
to
be
wrested
oute
,
and
many
growe
to
more
grefe
then
any
manne
here
can
diuine
.
Wherfore
me
thinketh
it
were
not
the
worste
to
sende
to
the
quene
some
honourable
and
trustye
personage
,
suche
as
tendereth
the
kynges
weale
and
the
honoure
of
his
counsell
,
and
is
also
in
credite
and
fauoure
with
her
,
for
whiche
consideracions
none
semeth
more
meately
to
me
then
the
reuerende
father
my
Lorde
Cardinall
archbishop
of
Cauntourbury
,
who
maye
in
this
matter
doo
mooste
good
of
all
menne
yf
it
please
hym
to
take
the
paine
,
whiche
I
doubte
not
of
his
goodnesse
he
wil
not
refuse
for
the
kynges
sake
&
oures
and
wealth
of
the
younge
duke
hym selfe
the
kynges
moost
honorable
brother
and
for
the
comforte
of
my
souereigne
Lord
hym selfe
my
moost
derest
Nephiewe
,
considering
that
therby
shal
be
ceassed
the
sclaunderous
rumour
&
obloquy
nowe
goyng
abroade
,
and
the
hurtes
auoyded
that
therof
myght
ensue
,
then
must
reste
and
quietnesse
growe
to
all
the
realme
.
And
if
she
percase
bee
obstinate
and
so
precisely
sette
in
her
owne
wyll
and
opynion
,
that
neither
his
wyse
and
feithfull
aduertysement
can
moue
her
,
nor
any
mannes
reason
satisfye
her
,
them
shal
we
by
myne
aduice
by
the
kynges
authoritee
fetche
hym
oute
of
that
prysone
and
bring
hym
to
his
noble
presence
,
in
whose
continuall
companye
he
shal
be
so
well
cheryshed
and
so
honorablye
intreated
that
all
the
worlde
shall
to
oure
bonoure
and
her
reproche
perceaue
that
it
was
onely
malyce
,
frowardnesse
&
foly
,
that
causeth
her
to
kepe
hym
there
.
This
is
my
minde
for
this
tyme
,
excepte
that
any
of
you
my
Lordes
anye
thinge
per
ceaue
to
the
contrarye
,
for
neuer
shall
I
by
Goddes
grace
so
wedde
my selfe
vnto
myne
owne
wyll
but
I
shal
be
redye
to
chaunge
it
vpon
youre
better
aduice
.
When
the
Protectoure
had
saied
,
all
the
councell
affirmed
that
the
mocion
was
good
and
reasonable
,
and
to
the
kyng
and
the
duke
his
brother
honorable
,
and
a
thing
that
shoulde
ceasse
great
murmoure
in
the
realme
yf
the
mother
myght
by
good
meanes
bee
induced
to
deliuer
hym
,
whiche
thing
the
Archbishop
of
Cauntourburye
,
whome
they
all
agreed
also
to
bee
moost
conuenient
thervnto
,
tooke
vpon
hym
to
moue
her
,
and
therto
to
dooe
his
vttermoste
endeuoure
.
How
be
it
yf
she
coulde
in
no
wise
bee
intreated
with
her
good
wil
to
delyuer
hym
,
then
thought
he
and
suche
of
the
spirytualtye
as
were
presente
,
that
it
were
not
in
anye
wyse
to
bee
attempted
to
take
hym
oute
agaynste
her
wyll
,
for
it
woulde
bee
a
thyng
that
should
turne
to
the
grudge
of
all
menne
and
high
displeasure
of
God
,
if
the
pryuiledge
of
that
place
should
bee
broken
which
had
so
many
yeres
been
kepte
,
whiche
bothe
kynges
and
bishoppes
had
graunted
and
confyrmed
,
whiche
grounde
was
sanctifyed
by
sainct
Peter
hym selfe
more
then
.
v
hundreth
yeres
agone
,
and
syth
that
tyme
was
neuer
so
vndeuoute
a
kynge
that
euer
enterprysed
that
sacred
priuyledge
to
vyolate
,
nor
so
holy
a
bishoppe
that
durste
presume
the
churche
of
the
same
to
consecrate
,
and
therfore
ꝙ
the
Archbysshoppe
,
God
forbyd
that
any
manne
shoulde
for
any
erthely
enterpryse
breake
the
immunyte
and
libertee
of
that
sacred
Sanctuary
that
hath
bene
the
sauegard
of
so
many
a
good
mannes
lyfe
,
but
I
truste
ꝙ
he
,
we
shall
not
nede
it
,
but
for
any
maner
of
nede
I
would
we
should
not
doo
it
,
I
trust
that
she
with
reason
shal
be
contented
&
all
thyng
in
good
maner
obteigned
.
And
yf
it
hap
that
I
bring
it
not
to
passe
,
yet
shal
I
further
it
to
my
best
power
so
that
you
all
shall
perceaue
my
good
wyl
diligence
&
indeuoure
.
But
the
mothers
dreade
&
womannishe
feare
shal
be
the
let
yf
any
bee
.
Naye
womannish
,
frowardnesse
ꝙ
the
duke
of
Buckingham
,
for
I
dare
take
it
on
my
soule
that
she
wel
knoweth
that
she
nedeth
no
suche
thyng
to
feare
either
for
her
sonne
or
for
her selfe
.
For
as
for
her
,
here
is
no
manne
that
wyll
be
at
warre
with
womenne
,
would
God
some
menne
of
her
kynne
wer
womenne
to
,
and
then
should
all
bee
sone
in
rest
.
How
be
it
,
here
is
none
of
her
kynne
the
lesse
loued
for
that
they
bee
of
her
kynne
,
but
for
their
owne
euell
deseruing
.
And
put
the
case
that
we
nether
loued
her
nor
her
kinne
,
yet
there
were
no
cause
why
we
should
hate
the
kinges
noble
brother
to
whose
grace
we
oure selues
be
kynne
,
whose
honoure
yf
she
desyred
as
oure
dyshonoure
,
and
asmuche
regarde
tooke
to
his
wealthe
as
to
her
owne
wyll
,
she
coulde
bee
as
lothe
to
suffer
hym
to
be
absente
from
the
kyng
as
any
of
vs
,
yf
she
had
any
wytte
as
woulde
God
she
had
as
good
wyll
as
she
hath
frowarde
wytte
.
For
she
thynketh
her selfe
no
wiser
then
some
that
are
here
,
of
whose
feithful
myndes
she
nothing
doubteth
,
but
verely
beleueth
&
know
legeth
that
they
woulde
bee
as
sorye
of
his
harme
as
her
owne
selfe
,
and
yet
they
woulde
haue
hym
frome
her
,
yf
she
abyde
there
.
And
we
all
I
thinke
bee
content
that
bothe
her
children
bee
with
her
if
she
came
frome
thence
and
bee
in
suche
place
where
they
maye
bee
with
theyr
honoure
.
Nowe
yf
she
refuse
in
the
deliueraunce
of
hym
to
folowe
the
wisdome
of
theim
,
whose
wisdome
she
knoweth
,
whose
approbate
fidelitee
she
trusteth
:
it
is
easye
to
perceaue
that
frowardnesse
letteth
her
,
and
not
feare
.
But
goo
to
,
suppose
that
she
feareth
as
who
maye
let
her
to
feare
her
owne
shadowe
,
the
more
she
feareth
to
deliuer
hym
,
the
more
we
oughte
to
feare
to
leaue
hym
in
her
handes
,
for
yf
she
caste
suche
fonde
doubtes
that
she
feare
his
hurte
,
then
wyll
she
feare
that
he
shall
be
fette
thence
,
for
she
wyll
soone
thynke
that
yf
menne
were
sette
(
whiche
God
forbydde
)
on
so
greate
a
mischief
,
the
Sanctuarye
wyll
lytel
lette
theim
whiche
sanctuary
good
menne
as
me
thinketh
myghte
withoute
synne
:
somewhat
lesse
regarde
then
they
dooe
.
Nowe
then
yf
she
doubte
leaste
he
might
bee
fetched
from
her
,
is
it
not
licklye
that
she
will
sende
hym
some
where
oute
of
the
realme
?
verely
I
looke
for
none
other
.
And
I
doubte
not
but
she
nowe
as
sore
mindeth
it
,
as
we
mind
the
let
therof
.
And
if
she
might
hap
to
bring
that
purpose
to
passe
(
as
it
were
no
great
mastery
to
doo
we
letting
her
alone
)
all
that
world
would
say
that
we
were
a
sorte
of
wyse
councelers
aboute
a
king
to
let
his
brother
to
bee
cast
away
vnder
our
noses
.
And
therfore
I
ensure
you
feithfully
for
my
minde
,
I
wyll
rather
maugre
her
stomacke
fetche
hym
awaye
,
then
leaue
hym
there
tyll
her
feare
or
fonde
frowarde
feare
conuey
hym
awaye
,
and
yet
wyll
I
breake
no
sanctuarye
,
for
verely
sithe
the
priueledge
of
that
place
&
other
of
that
sorte
haue
so
long
contynued
I
woulde
not
go
about
to
breake
yt
,
but
yf
they
were
nowe
to
begynne
I
would
not
be
he
that
shoulde
make
theim
,
yet
wyl
not
I
saye
nay
,
but
it
is
a
deede
of
pitie
,
that
such
men
as
the
chaunce
of
the
sea
or
theyr
euil
debters
haue
brought
into
pouertee
,
shoulde
haue
some
place
of
refuge
to
kepe
in
theyr
bodies
out
of
the
daunger
of
theyr
cruel
credytoures
.
And
yf
it
fortune
the
croune
to
come
in
question
as
it
hath
done
before
thys
time
whyle
eatch
parte
taketh
other
for
traytoures
,
I
thyncke
it
necessarye
to
haue
a
place
of
refuge
for
both
.
But
as
for
theues
and
murtherers
,
whereof
these
places
be
full
,
and
whyche
neuer
falle
from
theyr
crafte
after
they
once
fall
therunto
,
yt
is
pytee
that
euer
sanctuarye
shoulde
saue
theim
,
and
in
especyall
wylfull
murtherers
,
whom
God
commaundeth
to
be
taken
from
the
aulter
and
to
be
putte
to
death
.
And
where
it
is
other
wyse
then
in
these
cases
,
there
is
no
nede
of
sayntuaryes
,
apointed
by
God
in
the
olde
law
.
For
yf
necessite
of
his
owne
defence
or
mysfortune
dryued
hym
to
that
deed
then
a
pardon
serueth
hym
,
whyche
ether
is
graunted
of
course
,
or
the
kynge
of
pytee
and
compassyon
geueth
.
Nowe
looke
howe
fewe
sanctuary
men
there
be
whom
necessyte
or
mysfortune
compelled
together
?
And
then
see
on
the
other
syde
,
what
a
sorte
there
bee
commonlye
therin
of
suche
,
whom
wylfull
vnthryftines
hathe
broughte
to
naughte
what
a
rable
of
theues
,
murtherers
and
malycyous
heynous
traytours
bee
,
and
that
in
two
places
specyallye
,
the
one
at
the
elbowe
of
the
cytee
,
&
the
other
in
the
very
bowels
,
I
dare
wel
a
vowe
it
yf
you
waye
the
good
that
they
do
wyth
the
hurte
that
commeth
of
theim
ye
shall
fynde
it
much
better
to
lese
both
,
then
to
haue
both
.
And
thys
I
say
although
they
were
not
abused
(
as
they
nowe
bee
and
so
longe
haue
bene
)
that
I
feare
me
euer
they
wyl
be
while
men
be
a
feard
to
set
to
theyr
handes
to
the
a
mendement
,
as
though
God
and
saynt
Peter
were
the
patrons
of
vngratious
lyuing
.
Now
vnthryftes
riot
,
and
ronne
in
debte
vpon
boldnes
of
these
places
,
yea
,
and
rytch
men
ronne
thyther
with
poore
mens
goodes
,
there
they
buylde
,
there
they
spende
and
byd
theyr
creditours
go
whystel
.
Mens
wyues
ronne
thether
with
theyr
husbandes
plate
,
&
say
they
dare
not
abide
with
theyr
husbandes
for
beting
,
theues
bring
thether
stollen
goodes
&
lyue
thereon
.
There
deuise
they
newe
robberies
nightly
&
stele
out
&
robbe
,
reue
,
&
kyl
men
&
come
agayne
into
those
places
,
as
though
those
places
gaue
them
not
only
a
sauegard
for
the
harme
that
thei
haue
done
,
but
a
licence
also
to
do
more
myschiefe
,
howbeit
,
much
of
this
great
abusion
,
(
yf
wyse
men
woulde
set
theyr
handes
thereunto
)
myghte
bee
a
mended
,
with
great
thankes
of
god
and
no
breche
of
the
priuiledge
.
The
conclusion
is
,
sythe
it
is
so
long
a
go
I
wote
not
what
pope
and
what
prynce
more
piteous
then
polityke
,
hath
graunted
it
,
&
other
men
sence
of
a
relygious
feare
haue
not
broken
yt
,
let
vs
take
a
payne
with
it
,
&
let
it
stande
a
Goddes
name
in
hys
force
,
as
ferforth
as
reason
wyl
,
whyche
is
not
so
ferfourth
as
maye
serue
to
let
vs
of
the
fetchynge
forth
of
thys
noble
manne
to
hys
honoure
and
welth
out
of
that
place
in
the
whyche
nether
is
nether
can
be
a
sanctuary
or
priueledged
man
.
A
sanctuarye
euer
serueth
to
defend
the
bodye
of
that
man
that
standeth
in
daungers
abrode
,
not
of
great
hurt
only
,
but
of
lawful
hurt
.
For
agaynst
vnlawful
hurtes
&
harmes
no
pope
ner
kynge
entended
to
priueledge
anye
one
place
wherin
it
is
lawful
for
one
man
to
do
another
man
wrong
.
That
no
man
vnlaufully
take
hurte
,
that
lybertye
the
kynge
,
the
lawe
and
verye
nature
for
biddeth
in
euery
place
and
maketh
to
that
regard
for
euery
man
euery
place
a
sanctuarye
:
but
wher
a
man
is
by
lawful
meanes
in
parel
,
there
nedeth
he
the
tuycion
of
some
specyall
priueledge
,
which
is
the
only
ground
of
al
sanctuaries
,
from
which
necessitee
thys
noble
prince
is
farre
,
whose
loue
to
his
kyng
,
nature
and
kynred
proueth
,
whose
innocentie
to
al
the
world
,
hys
tender
youth
affyrmeth
&
so
sanctuary
as
for
him
is
not
necessary
ner
none
he
can
haue
.
Men
com
not
to
sanctuary
as
they
com
to
baptim
to
require
it
by
his
godfathers
,
he
must
aske
it
him self
that
must
haue
it
,
&
reason
sith
no
man
hath
cause
to
haue
it
,
but
whose
consyence
of
hys
own
faut
maketh
him
hauened
to
require
it
,
what
wyl
thé
hath
yonder
babe
,
which
if
he
had
discretion
to
require
it
yf
nede
wer
,
I
dare
say
wold
be
right
angry
with
theim
that
kepe
him
ther.
And
I
wold
think
without
any
scruple
of
conscience
,
without
any
brech
of
priueledge
to
be
somwhat
more
homly
with
them
that
be
ther
sanctuary
men
inded
that
yf
one
go
to
sanctuary
with
another
mans
goodes
,
why
shold
not
the
king
leuing
his
body
at
liberty
satisfye
the
party
of
his
goodes
euen
within
the
sanctuary
,
for
nether
kyng
nor
pope
can
geue
anye
place
such
a
priueledge
that
it
shal
discharge
a
man
of
his
debtes
beynge
hable
to
pay
.
And
with
that
dyuerse
of
the
clergie
that
were
there
present
,
whether
thei
saied
it
for
his
pleasure
or
as
thei
thought
,
agreed
plainly
by
that
lawe
of
God
&
of
the
churche
that
the
goodes
of
a
sanctuary
manne
should
bee
delyuered
in
payment
of
his
debtes
,
and
stollen
goodes
to
the
owner
and
onely
lybertie
reserued
to
hym
to
gette
his
lyuyng
with
the
labour
of
his
handes
.
Verely
ꝙ
the
duke
I
thynke
ye
saie
very
truth
.
And
what
if
a
mannes
wife
take
sanctuary
because
she
list
to
ronne
from
hir
husband
?
I
would
thinke
if
she
can
alledge
none
other
cause
he
maye
laufully
without
any
dyspleasure
dooen
to
sainct
Peter
,
take
hir
oute
of
sainct
Peters
churche
by
the
arme
.
And
if
no
bodye
maye
bee
taken
oute
of
sanctuary
because
he
saieth
he
will
abyde
there
,
then
if
a
chylde
will
take
sanctuary
because
he
feareth
to
goo
to
schoole
,
his
master
must
lette
hym
alone
,
and
as
symple
as
that
example
is
,
yet
is
there
lesse
reason
in
oure
case
then
in
it
,
for
there
though
it
bee
a
chyldyshe
feare
,
yet
is
there
at
the
least
some
feare
,
and
herein
is
no
feare
at
all
And
verely
I
haue
heard
of
sanctuary
menne
,
but
I
neuer
harde
before
of
sanctuary
chyldren
,
&
ther
fore
as
for
the
conclusion
of
my
mynde
,
whoso
euer
maye
deserue
to
haue
nede
of
it
,
if
thei
thinke
it
for
their
suretye
let
theim
kepe
it
,
but
he
can
bee
no
sanctuary
manne
that
hath
nother
discresion
to
desire
it
,
ner
malice
to
deserue
it
,
whose
life
ner
lybertie
can
by
no
laufull
processe
stande
in
ieoperdie
,
and
he
that
taketh
one
oute
of
sanctuarye
to
dooe
hym
good
,
I
saye
plainlye
he
breaketh
no
sanctuarye
.
When
the
duke
had
dooen
,
the
temporall
menne
wholy
,
and
the
mooste
parte
of
the
spirituall
menne
also
thynke
no
hurte
earthely
mente
towarde
the
baby
,
condiscended
in
effecte
,
that
if
he
were
not
delyuered
he
should
bee
fetched
out
.
Howbeit
thei
thought
it
best
in
aduoydyng
of
all
maner
of
rumoure
,
that
the
cardynall
should
first
assaye
to
gette
hym
with
her
good
will
.
And
therupon
all
the
counsaill
came
to
the
starre
chamber
at
Westmynster
,
and
the
cardinall
leauyng
the
protectour
and
other
lordes
in
the
sterre
chaumber
departed
into
the
sanctuarie
to
the
quene
accompaignied
with
certain
lordes
,
were
it
for
that
respecte
of
his
honour
or
that
she
should
by
the
personnes
of
so
many
perceaue
that
his
arrande
was
not
onely
one
mannes
mynde
,
or
were
it
for
that
the
protectoure
entended
not
in
this
matter
to
trust
one
manne
alone
,
or
els
if
she
finally
were
determined
to
kepe
hym
,
some
of
the
compaignie
had
paraduenture
some
secrete
instruccion
incontinent
maugre
her
will
to
take
hym
and
to
leaue
her
no
respyte
to
conueigh
hym
.
When
the
quene
and
the
lordes
were
come
together
in
presence
,
the
Cardynall
shewed
vnto
her
that
it
was
thought
to
the
lord
protectour
and
the
whole
caunsaill
that
hir
kepyng
of
that
kynges
brother
in
that
place
highly
sounded
,
not
onely
to
that
grudge
of
the
people
and
their
obloquy
,
but
also
to
the
unportable
greefe
and
displeasure
of
that
kyng
his
royall
maiestie
,
to
whose
grace
it
were
a
synguler
conforte
to
haue
his
naturall
brother
in
compaignie
,
and
it
was
their
bothes
dishonoures
and
theirs
&
hirs
also
to
suffre
hym
in
sanctuarye
,
as
though
the
one
brother
stoode
in
daungier
and
perell
of
the
other
.
And
he
shewed
her
ferther
that
the
whole
counsaill
had
sent
hym
to
requyre
of
her
the
delyuerye
of
hym
that
he
might
bee
brought
to
that
kyng
his
presence
at
his
libertie
oute
of
that
place
whiche
meune
reconed
as
a
prisone
,
&
there
should
he
bee
demeaned
accordyng
to
his
estate
and
degree
,
and
she
in
this
doyng
should
bothe
dooe
greate
good
to
the
realme
,
pleasure
to
the
counsaill
,
profite
to
her self
,
succoure
to
her
frendes
that
were
in
destresse
,
&
ouer
that
,
whiche
he
wist
well
she
speciallye
tendered
,
not
onelye
greate
conforte
&
honoure
to
the
kyng
but
also
to
the
younge
duke
hym self
,
whose
bothe
greate
wealthe
it
were
to
bee
together
,
aswell
for
many
greater
causes
as
also
for
their
bothe
dysporte
&
recreacyon
,
whiche
thynges
the
lordes
estemed
not
sleight
,
though
it
semed
light
,
well
ponde
ryng
that
their
youthe
without
recreacion
and
playe
cannot
endure
,
ner
any
estraunger
for
the
conueniencie
of
bothe
their
estates
so
metely
in
that
poinct
for
any
of
theim
as
the
either
of
theim
for
the
other
.
My
lorde
(
ꝙ
the
quene
,
)
I
saie
not
naye
but
that
it
were
very
conueniente
that
this
gentlemanne
whom
you
requyre
were
in
the
compaignie
of
the
kyng
his
brother
,
and
in
good
faith
me
thynketh
it
were
as
greate
commodite
to
theim
bothe
,
as
for
yet
a
while
to
bee
in
the
custodie
of
their
mother
the
tendre
age
consydered
of
the
elder
of
theim
bothe
,
but
in
especiall
the
younger
,
whiche
besydes
his
infancye
that
also
nedeth
good
lookyng
too
,
hath
awhyle
been
so
sore
deseased
with
syckenesse
and
is
so
newlye
rather
a
lytle
amended
then
well
recouered
,
that
I
dare
putte
no
persone
earthely
in
trust
with
his
kepyng
,
but
my self
onely
,
consyderyng
there
is
as
phisicians
saie
,
and
as
we
also
fynde
)
double
that
perell
in
the
resylynacion
that
was
in
the
first
syckenesse
,
with
whiche
desease
nature
beyng
sore
laboured
,
forweried
&
weaked
,
waxeth
the
lesse
hable
to
bear
oute
a
newe
surfett
〈…〉
And
albeit
there
might
bee
founden
other
that
would
happely
dooe
their
best
vnto
hym
,
yet
is
there
none
that
ether
knoweth
better
howe
to
ordre
hym
then
I
that
so
long
haue
kepte
hym
,
or
is
more
tendrely
like
to
cherishe
hym
then
his
owne
mother
that
bare
hym
.
No
manne
denieth
good
madame
(
ꝙ
the
cardinall
)
but
that
your
grace
of
all
folke
were
moost
necessarie
aboute
your
chyldren
,
&
so
would
all
that
counsaill
not
only
bee
content
but
also
glad
that
it
were
if
it
might
stand
with
your
pleasure
to
be
i
suche
place
as
might
stande
with
their
honour
.
But
if
you
apoinct
your self
to
tarie
here
,
them
thynke
thei
it
more
conuenient
the
Duke
of
Yorke
were
with
that
kyng
honorably
at
his
lybertie
to
the
conforte
of
theim
bothe
,
then
here
as
a
sanctuary
manne
to
their
bothe
dishonoure
and
obloquy
,
sith
there
is
not
alwaie
so
greate
necessite
to
haue
that
childe
with
the
mother
,
but
that
occacion
sometyme
maye
bee
suche
that
it
should
bee
more
expedient
to
kepe
hym
els
where
,
whiche
in
this
well
apereth
,
that
at
suche
tyme
that
your
moost
derest
soonne
them
prince
&
nowe
kyng
should
for
his
honour
&
good
ordre
of
the
countre
kepe
houshold
in
Wales
farre
out
of
your
kepyng
,
your
grace
was
well
content
therwith
your self
.
Not
very
well
content
(
ꝙ
the
quene
)
&
pet
the
case
is
not
like
,
for
theone
was
then
in
helth
&
the
other
is
nowe
sicke
,
in
whiche
case
I
meruell
greatly
why
my
lord
protectour
is
so
desierous
to
haue
hym
in
his
kepyng
,
where
if
the
childe
in
his
sickenesse
miscaried
by
nature
,
yet
might
he
ronne
into
slaunder
and
suspicion
of
fraude
.
And
thei
call
it
a
thyng
so
sore
against
my
childes
honoure
and
theirs
also
that
he
abideth
in
this
place
,
it
is
all
their
honoures
there
to
suffre
hym
abide
wher
no
manne
doubteth
he
shal
be
best
kepte
,
and
that
is
here
while
I
am
here
,
whiche
as
yet
entend
not
to
come
foorth
and
ieopard
my selfe
after
other
of
my
frendes
,
whiche
would
God
were
rather
here
in
suertie
with
me
,
then
I
were
there
in
ieoperdie
with
theim
.
Why
Madame
(
ꝙ
the
lord
Hawarde
)
knowe
you
any
thyng
why
thei
should
bee
in
ieopardie
?
Naye
verely
(
ꝙ
she
,
)
nor
why
thei
should
bee
in
prisone
neither
as
thei
nowe
bee
,
but
I
trowe
,
it
is
no
greate
maruell
though
I
feare
leaste
those
that
haue
not
letted
to
put
theim
in
duraunce
with
out
coloure
,
will
let
as
litle
to
procure
their
distrucion
without
cause
.
The
cardinall
made
a
countenaunce
to
the
lord
Haward
that
he
should
harpe
no
more
vpon
that
stryng
,
and
then
saied
he
to
the
quene
,
that
he
nothyng
doubted
but
those
lordes
of
her
kynne
the
whiche
remeyned
vnder
a
rest
should
vpon
the
matter
●ramined
dooe
well
ynough
,
and
as
toward
her
noble
persone
,
was
,
neither
could
bee
any
maner
of
ieopardie
.
Wherby
should
I
truste
that
(
ꝙ
that
quene
)
in
that
I
am
guyltlesse
,
as
though
thei
were
guyltie
,
in
that
I
am
with
their
enemies
better
beloued
then
thei
,
when
thei
hate
theim
for
my
sake
,
in
that
I
am
so
nere
to
the
kyng
,
and
howe
ferre
bee
thei
of
that
would
helpe
,
as
God
sende
grace
thei
hurt
not
.
And
therfore
as
yet
I
purpose
not
to
departe
hence
,
as
for
this
gentlemanne
my
soonne
,
I
minde
he
shall
be
wher
I
am
till
I
se
further
,
for
I
se
some
menne
so
gredy
whthout
any
substanciall
cause
to
haue
hym
,
whiche
maketh
me
muche
more
afrayd
and
scrupulous
to
delyuer
hym
.
Truly
madame
(
ꝙ
the
cardynall
)
the
more
afrayde
that
ye
bee
to
delyuer
hym
,
the
more
other
menne
feareth
to
suffre
you
to
kepe
hym
,
leaste
youre
causelesse
feare
,
mighte
cause
you
farther
to
conueye
hym
,
&
many
thynke
he
can
here
haue
no
pryuiledge
whiche
can
haue
neyther
wyll
to
aske
it
,
nor
yet
malyce
or
offence
to
nede
it
.
And
therfore
,
they
recon
no
priuiledge
broken
,
although
they
fetche
hym
out
of
sanctuarye
,
whiche
yf
you
fynallye
refuse
to
delyuer
hym
,
I
thynke
verely
the
councel
wil
enfraunchese
hym
,
so
muche
drede
hathe
my
lorde
his
vncle
,
for
the
tendre
loue
he
beareth
hym
,
least
your
grace
should
sende
hym
awaye
.
Ah
(
ꝙ
the
quene
)
hath
he
so
tendre
a
zele
to
hym
that
he
feareth
nothyng
,
but
least
he
should
escape
hym
?
Thynketh
he
that
I
would
sende
hym
hence
,
whiche
is
neyther
in
the
plight
to
sende
oute
?
and
in
what
place
coulde
I
recone
hym
sure
,
if
he
bee
not
sure
in
sanctuarye
?
whereof
was
there
neuer
tyraunte
yet
so
deuelyshe
,
that
durste
attempte
to
breake
the
priuiledge
,
and
I
truste
God
is
nowe
as
stronge
to
wythstande
his
aduersaries
as
euer
he
was
.
But
my
soonne
can
deserue
no
sanctuarye
(
you
saye
)
and
therfore
he
cannot
haue
it
,
forsothe
the
lorde
protectoure
hath
sente
a
goodly
glose
,
by
the
whiche
that
place
that
may
defend
a
these
may
not
saue
an
innocent
:
but
he
is
in
no
ieopardye
nor
hath
no
nede
thereof
,
I
woulde
God
he
had
not
.
Troweth
the
protectoure
I
praye
God
he
maye
proue
a
protectour
,
rather
then
a
destroyer
,
whereunto
his
peynted
processe
draweth
.
Is
it
not
honourable
that
the
duke
byde
here
?
it
were
confortable
to
theim
bothe
that
he
were
with
his
brother
,
because
the
kyng
lacketh
a
playe
feloe
,
yea
bee
you
sure
,
I
praye
God
sende
hym
better
playefelowes
then
hym
that
maketh
so
hyghe
a
matter
vpon
suche
a
tryfleynge
pretexte
,
as
though
there
coulde
none
bee
founde
to
playe
with
the
kynge
,
but
yf
his
brother
whiche
hathe
no
lu
〈…〉
to
playe
for
syckenesse
,
muste
come
oute
of
Sanctuarye
,
oute
of
his
sauegarde
to
playe
with
hym
,
as
though
that
prynces
so
young
as
they
be●
,
coulde
not
playe
without
their
peres
,
or
chyldren
coulde
not
playe
without
theyr
kynred
,
with
whome
for
the
more
parte
they
agree
muche
woorsse
then
with
straungiers
.
But
the
chyld
you
saye
cannot
require
the
priuiledge
,
who
tolde
the
protectoure
so
?
Aske
hym
and
you
shall
here
hym
aske
it
and
so
shall
he
if
ye
wyll
.
Howebeit
this
is
a
straunge
matter
,
suppose
he
coulde
not
aske
it
and
thynke
he
woulde
not
aske
it
,
and
ymagene
he
woulde
aske
to
go
oute
,
yf
I
saye
he
shall
not
.
Note
if
I
aske
the
priuiledge
,
but
for
my selfe
,
I
saye
that
he
that
agaynst
my
wyll
taketh
out
hym
,
breaketh
Sanctuarye
.
Serueth
thys
lyberty
for
my
personne
onlye
or
for
my
goodes
too
?
you
maye
not
frome
hence
take
my
horsse
frome
me
,
yf
I
stale
hym
not
nor
owe
you
nothynge
,
then
foloweth
it
,
that
you
maye
not
take
my
chylde
from
me
,
he
is
also
my
ward
,
for
as
farre
as
my
learned
councell
sheweth
me
,
he
hath
nothyng
by
dyssente
holden
by
knyghtes
seruage
,
but
by
socage
,
then
the
lawe
maketh
me
his
garden
,
then
maye
no
manne
lawfully
(
I
suppose
)
take
my
warde
frome
me
oute
of
thys
place
,
wythoute
the
breche
of
Sanctuarye
,
and
yf
my
pryuyledge
coulde
not
serue
hym
,
nor
he
aske
it
for
hym selfe
,
yet
sythe
the
lawe
commytteth
to
me
the
custodye
of
hym
,
I
maye
requyre
it
for
hym
,
excepte
the
lawe
geue
the
infaunte
a
garden
onelye
for
hys
gooddes
,
dyschargynge
hym
of
the
cure
and
sauekepynge
of
his
bodye
,
for
whiche
onely
,
bothe
goodes
and
landes
serue
.
Wherfore
here
entende
I
to
kepe
hym
,
sithe
mannes
lawe
serueth
the
garden
to
kepe
the
infaunte
,
and
the
lawe
of
nature
wylleth
the
mother
to
kepe
that
chyld
,
and
Goddes
lawe
priuiledgeth
the
Sanctuarye
,
and
the
Sanctuarye
pryuyledgeth
my
soonne
,
sythe
I
feare
to
putte
hym
to
the
protectoures
handes
,
that
hathe
his
brother
already
,
whiche
is
(
yf
bothe
fayled
)
inheritoure
to
the
croune
as
heyre
male
,
as
he
sayth
.
The
cause
of
my
feare
no
man
hath
to
dooe
to
examen
,
and
yet
feare
I
no
further
then
the
law
feareth
,
whiche
as
learned
menne
tell
me
,
forbyddeth
euery
manne
the
custody
of
theim
,
by
whose
death
he
maye
enheryte
lesse
lande
then
a
kyngdome
,
I
can
saye
no
more
,
but
whosoeuer
he
bee
that
breaketh
this
holy
sanctuary
,
I
praye
God
sende
hym
shortelye
nede
of
Sanctuary
,
when
he
maye
not
come
to
it
,
for
I
woulde
not
that
my
mortall
enemie
should
be
taken
out
of
Sanctuary
.
The
Cardynal
perceaued
that
the
quene
euer
that
lenger
the
farther
of
,
and
also
that
she
beganne
to
kyndle
and
chafe
and
spake
sore
bytynge
woordes
agaynst
the
protectoure
,
and
suche
as
he
neyther
beleued
&
also
was
lothe
to
here
,
he
sayd
to
her
,
for
a
finall
conclusion
,
that
he
would
no
more
dispute
the
matter
,
and
if
she
were
contente
to
delyuer
the
duke
to
hym
and
to
the
other
lordes
there
present
,
he
durste
laye
his
owne
bodye
and
soule
bothe
in
pledge
,
not
onlye
for
his
suretie
,
but
also
for
hys
estate
,
and
surely
he
knewe
nor
suspected
no
cause
but
he
might
so
dooe
(
but
he
knewe
not
all
.
)
And
further
he
saide
,
if
she
would
geue
hym
a
resolute
aunswere
to
the
contrarye
he
would
therewith
departe
incontinent
,
and
shifte
who
so
woulde
wyth
this
busynesse
afterwarde
,
for
he
neuer
entended
further
to
moue
her
in
the
matter
,
in
the
whiche
he
thought
that
he
and
all
other
also
,
saue
her selfe
,
lacked
eyther
wytte
or
truthe
.
Wytte
if
they
were
so
dull
,
if
they
nothyng
coulde
perceaue
what
the
protectoure
entended
,
and
yf
they
should
procure
her
soonne
to
bee
delyuered
into
his
handes
,
in
whome
they
shoulde
perceaue
towardes
the
chyld
any
euell
wyll
entended
,
then
she
myghte
thynke
all
the
councell
bothe
euel
aduysed
and
of
lytle
fydelyte
to
theyr
prince
.
The
quene
with
these
wordes
stoode
in
a
great
studye
,
and
forasmuche
as
she
sawe
the
lord
Cardynall
more
redyer
to
departe
then
the
remanaunt
,
and
the
protectoure
hym selfe
redye
at
hande
,
so
that
she
verelye
thought
that
she
coulde
not
kepe
hym
there
,
but
he
shoulde
bee
incontynente
taken
thence
,
and
to
conueye
hym
elles
where
,
neyther
had
she
tyme
to
serue
her
,
nor
place
determyned
,
nor
personnes
appoynted
to
conueygh
hym
,
and
so
all
thyng
was
vnreadye
,
when
this
message
came
so
sodenly
on
her
,
nothyng
lesse
lookyng
for
then
to
haue
hym
out
of
sanctuarye
,
whiche
she
knewe
nowe
menne
to
bee
set
in
all
places
about
that
he
coulde
not
bee
conueyghed
oute
vntaken
,
and
partely
as
she
thought
,
it
myghte
fortune
her
feare
to
bee
false
:
so
well
she
wist
it
was
ether
nede
lesse
or
botelesse
.
Wherfore
,
yf
she
should
nedes
go
from
hym
,
she
demed
best
to
deliuer
hym
,
&
specially
of
that
Cardinalles
faith
she
nothing
doubted
nor
of
some
other
lordes
whome
she
sawe
there
,
which
as
she
feared
least
,
they
might
be
deceaued
,
so
well
was
she
assured
that
they
woulde
not
bee
corrupted
,
then
thoughte
she
that
it
woulde
make
theim
the
more
warely
to
looke
to
hym
,
and
the
more
circum
spectly
to
see
his
surety
,
yf
she
with
her
owne
handes
betooke
hym
theim
by
truste
,
and
at
the
laste
she
tooke
the
young
duke
by
the
hande
and
saied
vnto
the
Lordes
,
my
Lorde
ꝙ
she
and
all
my
lordes
,
nether
am
I
so
vnwise
to
mistruste
youre
wittes
nor
so
suspicyous
to
mistruste
your
truthes
:
of
which
thing
I
purpose
to
make
such
a
proofe
that
yf
either
of
bothe
lacked
in
you
,
might
turne
both
me
to
greate
sorowe
,
the
realme
to
muche
harme
and
you
to
greate
reproche
.
For
lo
,
here
is
ꝙ
she
this
gentilman
,
whome
I
doubte
not
but
I
could
kepe
salfe
if
I
would
,
whatsoeuer
any
manne
saye
and
I
doubte
not
also
but
there
bee
some
abrode
so
deedly
enemies
vnto
my
bloodde
,
that
yf
they
wiste
where
any
of
it
laye
in
theyr
owne
body
they
woulde
lette
it
oute
,
we
haue
also
experience
that
the
desyre
of
a
kingdome
knoweth
no
kynred
,
the
brother
hath
bene
the
brothers
bane
,
and
may
the
nephewes
bee
sure
of
the
vncle
?
eache
of
these
children
are
others
defence
whyle
they
bee
a sunder
,
and
eache
of
their
liues
lyeth
in
others
body
,
kepe
one
salfe
and
bothe
bee
sure
,
and
nothing
to
bothe
more
perylous
,
then
bothe
to
bee
in
one
place
,
for
a
wise
marchaunt
neuer
auentureth
all
his
good
des
in
one
shyp
,
all
this
notwithstanding
,
here
I
deliuer
hym
&
his
brother
in
hym
to
kepe
,
to
your
handes
,
of
whome
I
shall
aske
theim
bothe
before
God
and
the
worlde
.
Feithfull
you
bee
and
that
I
wot
well
,
and
I
knowe
you
be
wyse
and
of
power
and
strength
if
you
list
to
kepe
hym
,
for
you
lacke
no
helpe
of
your selues
,
nor
nede
to
lacke
no
helpe
in
this
case
,
&
yf
you
cannot
elles
where
,
then
may
you
leaue
hym
here
.
But
onely
one
thing
I
besech
you
,
for
the
trust
that
his
father
putte
you
in
euer
and
for
the
truste
that
I
put
you
in
nowe
,
that
as
farre
as
you
thincke
that
I
feare
to
muche
,
ye
bee
well
ware
that
you
feare
not
to
lytle
.
And
therwith
all
she
saied
to
that
childe
,
fare
well
myne
owne
swete
soonne
,
God
sende
you
good
kepyng
,
let
me
once
kysse
you
or
you
gooe
,
for
God
knoweth
when
we
shall
kisse
together
againe
,
&
therwith
she
kyssed
hym
and
blessed
hym
and
tourned
her
backe
&
wepte
,
gooing
her
waye
,
leauyng
the
poore
innocent
chylde
wepyng
as
faste
as
the
mother
.
When
the
Cardinall
and
the
other
lordes
had
receaued
the
younge
duke
,
they
brought
hym
into
the
starre
chaumbre
,
where
that
protectoure
tooke
hym
in
his
armes
and
kyssed
hym
with
these
wordes
,
nowe
welcome
my
lorde
with
all
my
very
hert
and
he
saied
in
that
of
likelihode
euen
as
he
inwardly
thought
,
and
therupon
,
forthwith
brought
him
to
the
king
his
brother
into
the
bishoppes
palaice
at
Powles
,
and
from
thence
thorowe
the
citee
honourably
into
the
towre
,
oute
of
whiche
after
that
daye
they
neuer
came
abrode
.
Whenne
the
Protectoure
had
bothe
the
chyldren
in
his
possessyon
,
yee
and
that
they
were
in
a
sure
place
,
he
then
beganne
to
thryste
to
see
the
ende
of
his
enterprise
and
to
auoyde
all
suspicion
,
he
caused
all
the
Lordes
whiche
he
knewe
to
bee
feythfull
to
the
kyng
to
assemble
at
Baynardes
castell
to
commen
of
the
ordre
of
the
coronacyon
whyle
he
and
other
of
his
complyces
and
of
his
affinitee
at
Erosbyes
place
contriued
the
contrary
&
to
make
the
Protectours
kyng
,
to
whiche
counsel
there
were
adhibite
very
fewe
,
and
they
very
secrete
.
Then
beganne
here
&
there
some
maner
of
muttering
amongest
the
people
as
though
all
thing
should
not
longe
bee
well
though
they
wyste
not
what
they
feared
nor
wherfore
:
were
it
,
that
before
suche
great
thinges
mennes
hertes
(
of
a
secrete
instyncte
of
nature
)
misgeueth
theim
,
as
that
southwinde
somtime
swelleth
of
hym selfe
before
a
tempeste
,
or
were
it
that
some
one
manne
happely
perceauing
,
fylled
many
men
with
suspicyon
,
thoughe
he
shewed
fewe
menne
what
he
knewe
,
howbeit
,
the
dealing
it selfe
made
to
muche
on
the
matter
,
thoughe
the
counsayle
were
close
,
for
lytle
and
lytle
all
folke
drewe
from
the
towre
where
the
kyng
was
,
and
drewe
to
Crosbyes
place
,
so
that
the
Protectoure
had
all
the
resorte
,
and
the
kyng
in
maner
desolate
,
while
some
made
suyte
vnto
theim
that
had
the
doyng
,
some
of
theim
were
by
theyr
frendes
secetely
warned
,
that
it
myghte
happely
tourne
theim
to
no
good
to
bee
to
muche
attendaunte
on
the
Kyng
withoute
the
Protectoures
apoyntmente
,
whiche
remoued
dyuerse
of
the
kynges
olde
seruauntes
from
hym
,
and
set
newe
in
theyr
romes
aboute
hym
.
Thus
many
thinges
comming
together
,
partly
by
chaunce
and
partely
by
purpose
,
caused
at
length
,
not
common
people
onely
whiche
wauer
with
the
winde
,
but
wise
menne
also
and
some
Lordes
to
marke
the
matter
&
muse
therupon
,
in
so
much
as
the
lorde
Stanley
whiche
afterward
was
erle
of
Derby
wisely
mistrusted
it
and
saied
to
that
lorde
Hastinges
,
that
he
muche
misiyked
these
two
seueral
counselles
,
for
while
we
ꝙ
he
talke
of
one
matter
at
that
one
place
,
lytle
wot
we
wherof
they
talke
in
the
other
place
.
Well
ꝙ
the
Lorde
Hastynges
,
on
my
lyfe
neuer
doubte
you
,
for
whyle
one
man
is
there
whiche
is
neuer
thence
,
neither
can
there
bee
any
thing
once
mynded
that
shoulde
sounde
amisse
towarde
me
,
but
it
shoulde
bee
in
mine
eares
or
it
were
well
oute
of
their
mouthes
.
This
ment
he
by
Catesby
whiche
was
nere
of
his
secret
councell
,
and
whome
he
familyerly
vsed
in
his
moost
weightye
matters
,
putting
no
manne
in
so
speciall
trust
as
hym
,
sith
he
wiste
well
there
was
no
manne
to
hym
so
muche
beholdyng
as
was
this
Catesbye
,
whiche
was
a
manne
well
learned
in
the
lawes
of
this
lande
,
and
by
the
speciall
fauoure
of
the
lorde
Hastynges
in
good
authorytee
and
muche
rule
bare
in
the
countrees
of
Leicestre
and
Northampton
where
that
lorde
Hastinges
power
laye
.
But
surely
greate
pitie
was
it
that
he
had
not
had
either
more
trueth
or
lesse
wit
,
for
his
dissimulacyon
onely
,
kepte
all
that
myschiefe
vp
,
in
whome
yf
the
lorde
Hastinges
had
not
put
so
special
trust
,
that
lord
Stanley
and
he
with
diuers
other
lordes
had
departed
into
their
countrees
&
broken
al
the
daunce
for
many
euel
signes
that
he
sawe
,
which
he
now
construed
al
for
the
best
,
so
surely
thought
he
that
there
coulde
be
no
harme
towarde
hym
in
that
counsayle
entended
where
Catesbye
was
.
And
of
truth
the
protectour
and
the
duke
of
Buckyngham
made
very
good
sembleaunce
vnto
the
lorde
Hastynges
and
kepte
hym
muche
in
theyre
compaignie
.
And
vndoubtedlie
the
protectour
loued
hym
well
,
and
lothe
was
to
haue
loste
hym
sauynge
for
feare
least
hys
lyfe
shoulde
haue
quayled
theyr
purpose
,
for
the
whyche
cause
he
moued
Catesby
to
proue
wyth
some
wordes
caste
oute
a
farre
of
,
whether
he
coulde
thyncke
it
possible
to
wynne
the
lorde
Hastynges
to
theyr
part
.
But
Catesby
,
whether
he
assayed
hym
or
assayed
hym
not
reported
vnto
hym
that
he
founde
him
so
fast
,
and
heard
him
speake
so
terrible
wordes
that
he
durst
no
farther
breake
,
and
of
a
truth
the
lorde
Hastinges
of
very
truste
shewed
vnto
Catesby
the
mystrust
that
other
began
to
haue
in
the
matter
.
And
therfor
,
he
fearyng
least
theyr
mocyons
myght
with
the
lorde
Hastynges
haue
mynished
his
credence
,
wherunto
only
al
the
matter
leaned
,
procured
the
protectour
hastly
to
ryd
hym
,
&
muche
the
rather
,
for
he
trusted
by
hys
death
to
obtayne
much
of
that
rule
whyche
the
lorde
Hastynges
bare
in
hys
countree
,
the
onelye
desyre
whereof
,
was
the
thynge
that
enduced
hym
to
be
procurer
&
one
of
the
speciallest
contriuers
of
al
thys
treason
.
Wherupon
the
lorde
protectoure
caused
a
counsayle
to
be
set
at
the
towre
on
the
frydaye
the
.xiii.
daye
of
Iune
,
were
was
much
commonyng
for
the
honourable
solempnytee
of
the
coronation
,
of
the
whyche
the
tyme
appoynted
aproched
so
nere
that
the
pageauntes
were
a
making
day
&
nyght
at
Westminster
&
vytayle
kylled
which
afterwarde
was
cast
awaye
These
lordes
thus
sittyng
commoning
of
this
matter
,
the
protectoure
came
in
emong
them
about
ix

of
the
clocke
salutynge
theim
curteously
excusynge
hym selfe
that
he
had
bene
frome
theim
so
longe
,
saiynge
merely
that
he
had
bene
a
sseper
that
daye
.
And
after
a
lytle
talkynge
wyth
theym
he
sayd
to
the
bishop
of
Ely
,
my
lorde
you
haue
very
good
strawberies
in
your
garden
at
Holborne
,
I
requyre
you
let
vs
haue
a
messe
of
theim
.
Gladly
,
my
lorde
ꝙ
he
,
I
would
I
had
some
better
thyng
as
redy
to
youre
pleasure
as
that
,
and
wyth
that
he
sente
his
seruaunte
in
al
the
haste
for
a
dysh
of
strawberyes
.
The
protectoure
set
the
lordes
faste
in
commonynge
and
thereupon
prayed
theim
to
spare
hym
a
lytle
,
and
so
he
departed
and
came
in
agayn
betwene
.
x
,
and
.xi.
of
the
clocke
into
the
chamber
al
chaunged
with
a
sowre
angry
countenaunce
knyttynge
the
browes
,
frownynge
and
frettynge
and
gnawynge
on
hys
lyppes
&
so
set
him
downe
in
hys
place
.
All
the
lordes
were
dysmayed
&
sore
marueyled
of
thys
maner
and
sodayne
chaunge
and
what
thynge
should
hym
ayle
.
When
he
had
sytten
a
whyle
thus
he
beganne
.
What
were
they
woorthy
to
haue
that
compasse
and
ymagyne
the
dystruccyon
of
me
beynge
so
neare
of
bloodde
to
the
kynge
and
protectoure
of
this
hys
royal
realme
?
At
whyche
questyon
all
the
lordes
sat
sore
astonned
,
musynge
muche
by
whom
thys
questyon
shoulde
be
ment
,
of
whych
euery
man
knewe

Then
the
lord
Hastynges
as
he
that
for
the
familiaritee
that
was
betwene
them
,
thoughte
he
myght
be
boldest
wyth
hym
,
answered
&
sayd
that
they
were
worthye
to
bee
punyshed
as
heyneous
traytours
what
so
euer
they
were
,
and
all
the
other
affyrmed
the

,
that
is
ꝙ
he
yonder
sorceces
my

wyfe
and
other
wyth

meanynge
the

,
at
these
wordes
manie
of
the
lordes
were
sore
abashed
whyche
fauoured
her
,
but
the
lorde
Hastynges
was
better
contente
in
hys
mynde
that
it
was
moued
by
her
then
by
anye
other
that
he
loued
better
,
albeit
hys
hearte
grudged
that
he
was
not
afore
made
of
councel
in
this
matter
as
well
as
he
was
of
the
takynge
of
her
kynred
and
of
theyr
puttynge
to
deathe
,
whyche
were
by
hys
assente
before
deuised
to
be
behedded
at
Pomfrete
,
thys
selfe
same
daye
,
in
the
whyche
he
was
not
ware
the
it
was
by
other
deuysed
that
he
hym selfe
shoulde
the
same
daye
be
behedded
at
London
:
then
sayde
the
protectoure
in
what
wyse
that
the
sorceresse
and
other
of
hys
counsayle
,
as
Shores
wyfe
wyth
her
affynitee
haue
by
theyr
sorcerye
and
wychcrafte
thys
wasted
my
bodye
,
and
therewyth
plucked
vp
hys
doublet
cleane
to
hys
elbowe
on
hys
lyfte
arme
,
where
he
shewed
a
weryshe
wythered
arme
and
small
as
it
was
neuer
other
.
And
thereupon
euery
mannes
mynd
mysgaue
theim
,
well
perceauynge
that
thys
matter
was
but
a
quarell
,
for

they
wyste
that
the

was
boothe
to
wyse
to
goo
aboute

and
yf

woulde
,
yet
woulde
she
of
al
folke
make
Shores
wyfe
leaste
of
councel
whom
of
all
womenne
she
most
hated
as
that
concubin●
whom
the
kyng
her
husband
most
loued
Also
,
there
was
no
manne
there
but
knewe
that
hys
arme
was
euer
such
syth
the
day
of
hys
byrth
Neuerthelesse
the
lorde
Hastynges
whyche
from
the
death
of
kyng
Edward
kept
Shores
wyfe
,
on
whom
he
somewhat
doted
in
the
kynges
,
lyfe
,
sauynge
it
is
sayd
that
he
forbare
her
for
reuerence
towarde
hys
kynge
,
or
elles
of
a
certayne
kynd
of
fydelitee
towarde
hys
frende
.
Yet
nowe
his
heart
somwhat
grudged
to
haue
her
whom
he
loued
so
hyghly
accused
,
and
that
as
he
knewe
wel
vntrulye
,
therefore
he
aunswered
and
sayde
,
certaynlye
my
lord
,
yf
they
haue
so
doone
,
they
be
worthie
of
heynous
ponyshemente
,
what
ꝙ
the
protectoure
,
thou
seruest
me
I
wene
wyth
yf
,
and
wyth
and
,
I
tell
the
they
haue
doone
it
,
and
that
I
wyll
make
good
on
thy
bodye
traytoure
.
And
therewith
(
in
a
greate
anger
)
he
clapped
his
fyste
on
the
boorde
a
great
rappe
,
at
whych
token
geuen
one
cryed
treason
withoute
the
chamber
,
and
therewyth
a
doore
claped
,
and
in
came
rushing
men
in
harneyes
as
many
as
the
chamber
coulde
holde
.
And
anone
that
protectoure
sayd
to
the
lorde
Hastynges
,
I
arrest
the
traytoure
,
what
me
lord
ꝙ
he
?
yea
the
traitour
ꝙ
the
protectour
.
And
one
let
flye
at
the
lord
Stanley
,
whyche
shroncke
at
the
stroake
and
fell
vnder
the
table
,
or
elles
his
hed
had
bene
cleft
to
the
teth
for
as
shortly
as
he
shrancke
,
yet
ranne
the
blood
aboute
hys
eares
.
Then
was
the
archebyshoppe
of
Yorke
and
doctoure
Morton
byshoppe
of
Ely
and
the
lorde
Stanleye
taken
and
dyuers
other
whyche
were
bestowed
in
dyuers
chambers
,
saue
the
lorde
Hastynges
(
whome
the
protectoure
commaunded
to
spede
and
shryue
hym
apace
)
for
by
saint
Poull
(
ꝙ
he
)
I
will
not
dyne
till
I
se
thy
hed
of
,
it
booted
hym
not
to
aske
why
,
but
heuilie
he
tooke
a
preeste
at
auenture
&
made
a
shorte
shrift
,
for
a
lenger
would
not
bee
suffred
,
the
protectoure
made
so
muche
haste
to
his
dyner
,
whiche
might
not
goo
to
it
till
this
murther
were
dooen
for
sauing
of
his
vngracious
othe
.
So
was
he
brought
foorth
into
the
grene
beside
the
chapell
within
the
towre
,
and
his
hed
layde
downe
on
a
logge
of
tymber
that
laye
there
for
buyldyng
of
the
chapell
,
and
there
tyrannously
stryken
of
,
and
after
his
bodye
&
hed
were
enterred
at
Wyndesore
by
his
mayster
kyng
Edward
the
fourth
,
whose
soules
Iesu
pardon
,
Amen
.
A
merueleous
case
it
is
to
here
,
either
the
warnynges
that
he
should
haue
voyded
or
the
tokens
of
that
he
could
not
voyde
.
For
the
next
nyght
before
his
deathe
,
the
lorde
Stanley
sent
to
hym
a
trusty
messenger
at
mydnight
in
all
the
hast
,
requiryng
hym
to
ryse
and
ryde
awaye
with
hym
,
for
he
was
disposed
vtterlye
no
lenger
for
to
abyde
,
for
he
had
a
fearfull
dreame
in
the
whiche
he
thought
that
a
bore
with
his
tuskes
so
rased
theim
bothe
by
the
heddes
that
the
bloodde
ranne
aboute
bothe
their
shoulders
,
and
for
asmuche
as
the
protectour
gaue
the
bore
for
his
cognisaunce
,
he
ymagened
that
it
should
bee
he
.
This
dreme
made
suche
a
fearfull
impression
in
his
hearte
,
that
he
was
throughly
determined
no
lenger
to
tarye
but
had
his
horsso
readie
,
if
the
lord
Hastynges
would
goo
with
hym
So
that
thei
would
ryde
so
ferre
that
night
,
that
thei
should
bee
oute
of
daungere
by
the
next
daye
.
A
good
lord
(
ꝙ
the
lord
Hastynges
)
to
the
messenger
,
leaneth
my
lord
thy
master
so
muche
to
suche
trifles
and
hath
suche
faith
in
dreames
,
whiche
either
his
awne
feare
fātesieth
,
or
doo
rise
in
that
nightes
rest
by
reason
of
the
dayes
thought
.
Tell
hym
it
is
plaine
witchcraft
to
beleue
in
suche
dreames
,
whiche
if
thei
were
tokens
of
thynges
to
come
,
why
thynketh
he
not
that
we
might
as
likely
make
theim
true
by
our
goyng
if
we
were
caught
and
brought
backe
(
as
frendes
fayle
flyers
)
for
then
had
the
bore
a
cause
lykely
to
race
vs
with
his
tuskes
,
as
folkes
that
fled
for
some
falshed
,
wherfore
either
is
their
perell
,
nor
none
there
is
deede
,
or
if
any
bee
,
it
is
rather
in
goyng
then
abydyng
.
And
if
we
should
nedes
fall
in
perell
one
waye
or
other
yet
had
I
leuer
that
menne
should
se
it
were
by
other
mennes
falshed
,
then
thynke
it
were
either
our
awne
faute
or
faynte
and
feble
heart
,
and
therfore
goo
to
thy
master
and
commende
me
to
hym
and
I
praye
hym
to
bee
mery
and
haue
no
feare
,
for
I
assure
hym
,
I
am
assured
of
that
manne
he
wotteth
of
as
I
am
of
myne
owne
hande
.
God
sende
grace
(
ꝙ
the
messenger
,
)
and
so
departed
.
Certen
it
is
also
that
in
rydyng
toward
the
towre
the
same
mornyng
in
whiche
he
was
behedded
,
his
horsse
that
he
accustomed
to
ryde
on
stombled
with
hym
twise
or
thrise
almost
to
the
fallyng
,
whiche
thyng
although
it
happeneth
to
theim
daylye
to
whom
no
myschaunce
is
towarde
,
yet
hath
it
been
as
an
olde
eiuill
token
obserued
as
a
gooyng
toward
myschief
.
Nowe
this
that
foloweth
was
no
warnyng
but
an
enuyous
scorne
,
the
same
mornyng
ere
he
were
vp
from
his
bed
where
Shores
wife
laye
with
hym
all
night
,
there
came
to
hym
sir
Thomas
Hawarde
soonne
to
the
lorde
Hawarde
(
the
whiche
sturryng
that
mornyng
very
earlye
)
as
it
were
of
courtesie
to
accompaignie
hym
to
the
counsaill
,
but
forasmuche
as
the
lorde
Hastynges
was
not
readye
,
he
taried
awhile
for
hym
and
hasted
hym
awaye
.
This
sir
Thomas
,
while
the
lorde
Hastynges
stayed
awhile
commonyng
with
a
preest
whom
he
met
in
the
towre
strete
,
brake
the
lordes
tale
,
saiyng
to
hym
merely
,
what
my
lord
I
praye
you
come
on
,
wherfore
talke
you
so
long
with
that
preest
,
you
haue
no
nede
of
a
preest
yet
,
and
laughed
vpon
hym
,
as
though
he
would
saie
,
you
shall
haue
nede
of
one
sone
.
But
lytle
wist
the
other
what
he
meant
(
but
or
night
these
woordes
were
well
remembred
by
theim
that
heard
theim
)
so
the
true
lorde
Hastynges
litle
mistrusted
,
and
was
neuer
merier
,
ner
thought
his
life
in
more
suretye
in
all
his
dayes
,
whiche
thyng
is
often
a
sygne
of
chaunge
,
but
I
shall
rather
lette
any
thyng
passe
me
then
the
vayne
suretye
of
mannes
mynde
so
nere
his
deathe
:
for
vpon
the
towre
wharffe
,
so
nere
the
place
where
his
hedde
was
of
so
sone
after
,
as
a
manne
might
well
cast
a
balle
,
a
pursyuan̄t
of
his
awne
called
Hastynges
mette
with
hym
,
&
of
their
metyng
in
the
place
he
was
put
in
remembraunce
of
another
tyme
,
in
whiche
it
had
happened
theim
to
mete
before
together
in
the
same
place
,
at
whiche
tyme
the
lord
Hastynges
had
been
accused
to
kyng
Edward
by
that
lord
Ryuers
the
quenes
brother
,
in
somuche
that
he
was
for
awhile
which
lasted
not
long
highly
in
that
kynges
indignacion
&
stode
in
great
feare
of
hymself
,
&
forasmuch
as
he
nowe
met
the
same
pursyuaunt
in
the
same
place

with

had
talked
in
the

place
of

and
therfore
he
saied
Ah

In

I

naye

I
warraunt
the
,
and
so
in
maner
dyspleased
he
entered
into
the
towre
,
where
he
was
not
long
on
lyue
as
you
haue
hearde
.
O
lord
God
the
blyndenesse
of
our
mortall
nature
,
when
he
mooste
feared
,
he
was
in
moost
suretie
,
and
when
he
reconed
hym self
moost
surest
,
he
loste
his
life
&
that
within
.ii.
houres
after
.
Thus
ended
this
honorable
manne
a
good
knight
and
a
gentle
,
of
great
autorite
with
his
prince
,
of
liuyng
somewhat
dissolute
plain
and
open
to
his
enemie
,
and
sure
and
secrete
to
his
frende
,
easye
to
beguyle
,
as
he
that
of
good
herte
and
courage
foresawe
no
perelles
,
a
louyng
manne
and
passyng
welbeloued
,
verye
faythfull
&
trustie
ynough
,
but
trustyng
to
much
was
his
destruccion
as
you
maye
perceaue
.
Nowe
flewe
the
fame
of
this
lordes
death
thorough
the
cytie
and
farther
about
like
a
wynde
in
euery
mannes
eare
,
but
the
protectoure
immediatly
after
dynner
(
entendynge
to
set
some
coloure
vpon
the
matter
)
sent
in
all
the
hast
for
many
substanciall
menne
out
of
the
cytie
into
the
towre
,
and
at
their
commynge
,
hym selfe
wyth
the
duke
of
Buckyngham
stoode
harnessed
in
olde
euell
fauoured
bryganders
▪
suche
as
no
manne
woulde
wene
that
they
would
haue
vouchesalued
to
haue
putte
on
their
backes
,
excepte
some
sodeyne
necessitee
had
constreigned
theim
.
Then
the
lorde
protectoure
shewed
theim
,
that
the
lorde
Hastynges
and
other
of
his
conspyracye
hadde
contryued
to
haue
sodenly
destroyed
hym
and
the
duke
of
Buckyngham
there
the
same
daye
in
councell
,
&
what
they
entended
farther
,
was
as
yet
not
wel
knowen
of
whiche
their
treason
he
had
neuer
knowledge
before
ten
of
the
clocke
the
same
fornoone
,
whiche
sodeyne
feare
draue
theim
to
put
on
suche
harnesse
as
came
nexte
to
theyr
handes
for
their
defence
,
&
so
God
holpe
theim
,
that
the
mischiefe
turned
vpon
theim
that
would
haue
done
it
,
and
thus
he
required
theim
to
reporte
.
Euerye
manne
aunswered
fayre
,
as
thoughe
no
manne
mystrusted
the
matter
,
whiche
of
truthe
no
manne
beleued
.
Yet
for
the
farther
appeasyng
of
the
peoples
myndes
,
he
sent
immedyatlye
after
dynner
an
Heralde
of
armes
with
a
proclamacion
through
the
citee
of
London
whiche
was
proclamed
in
the
kynges
name
,
that
the
lord
Hastynges
with
dyuerse
other
of
his
treyterous
purpose
had
before
conspired
,
the
same
daye
to
haue
slain
the
protectoure
and
the
duke
of
Buckyngham
sittyng
in
counsaill
,
&
after
to
haue
taken
vpon
theim
the
rule
of
the
kyng
and
the
realme
at
their
pleasure
,
and
therby
to
pill
and
spoyle
whom
thei
list
vncomtrolled
,
and
muche
matter
was
deuised
in
the
same
proclamacion
to
the
sclaunder
of
the
lord
Hastynges
,
as
that
he
was
an
eiuill
counsaillour
to
the
kynges
father
,
entisyng
hym
to
many
thynges
highly
redoundyng
to
the
minisshyng
of
his
honoure
and
to
the
vniuersall
hurt
of
his
realme
,
by
his
eiuill
compaignie
and
synister
procuryng
and
vngracious
exsample
,
aswell
in
many
other
thynges
as
in
vycious
lyuyng
and
inordynate
abusyon
of
his
bodye
,
bothe
with
many
other
and
in
especiall
with
Shores
wife
whiche
was
one
of
his
secrete
counsaill
of
this
heynous
treason
,
with
whom
he
laye
nyghtlye
,
and
namely
the
nyght
passed
next
before
his
deathe
,
so
that
it
was
the
lesse
maruell
yf
vngracyous
lyuyng
brought
hym
to
an
vnhappie
ende
,
whiche
he
was
nowe
putte
to
by
the
commaundement
of
the
kyng
his
highnes
and
of
his
honourable
and
faithfull
counsaill
,
bothe
for
his
demerytes
beyng
so
openly
taken
in
his
false
contriued
treason
,
and
also
least
the
delaiyng
of
his
execucion
myght
haue
encoraged
other
myscheuous
persones
parteners
of
his
conspiracye
,
to
gather
and
assemble
theim selues
together
in
makyng
so
greate
commocyon
for
his
delyucraunce
,
whose
hope
nowe
beeyng
by
hys
well
deserued
deathe
pollytickelye
repressed
,
all
the
realme
shall
by
Goddes
grace
reste
in
good
quyet
and
peace
.
Nowe
was
this
proclamacion
made
within
twoo
houres
after
he
was
behedded
,
and
it
was
so
curyously
endited
and
so
fayre
wrytten
in
parchement
in
a
fayre
sette
hande
,
and
therwith
of
it selfe
so
long
aprocesse
,
that
euery
chylde
myght
perceaue
that
it
was
prepared
and
studyed
before
(
and
as
some
menne
thought
,
by
Catesby
)
for
all
the
tyme
betwene
hys
deathe
and
the
proclamacyon
proclaymynge
,
could
skante
haue
suffysed
vnto
the
bare
wrytynge
alone
,
albeit
that
it
had
been
in
paper
and
scrybeled
foorthe
in
haste
at
aduenture
.
So
that
vpon
the
proclaymynge
therof
,
one
that
was
schoolemaster
at
Paules
standyng
by
and
comparyng
the
shortenesse
of
the
tyme
wyth
the
lengthe
of
the
matter
sayed
to
theim
that
stoode
aboute
hym
,
here
is
gaye
goodlye
cast
,
fowle
caste
awaye
for
hast
.
And
amarchaunte
that
stoode
by
hym
sayed
that
it
was
wrytten
by
inspyracyon
and
prophesye
.
Nowe
then
by
and
by
as
yt
were
for
anger
and
not
for
coueteous
,
the
protectoure
sent
sir
Thomas
Hawarde
to
the
hous
of
Shores
wyfe
(
for
her
husbande
dwelt
not
wyth
her
)
whyche
spoyled
her
of
all
that
euer
she
had
,
aboue
the
valure
of
twoo
or
thre
thousande
markes
,
and
sente
her
bodye
to
pryson
.
And
the
protectoure
had
laide
to
her
for
the
maner
sake
that
she
entended
to
witche
hym
,
and
that
she
was
a
counsaill
with
the
lord
Hastynges
to
destroye
hym
In
conclucion
,
when
no
coloure
could
fasten
vpon
these
matters
,
the
he
leyed
heinously
to
her
charge
that
thyng
that
she
coulde
not
denye
,
for
all
the
worlde
knewe
that
it
was
true
,
and
that
not
wythstandyng
euery
manne
laughed
to
here
it
then
so
sodeynly
,
so
highly
taken
,
that
she
was
noughte
of
her
body
.
And
for
this
cause
as
a
Godly
continent
prince
clene
and
faultlesse
of
hym selfe
,
sent
oute
of
heauen
into
this
vicious
worlde
,
for
the
amendement
of
mennes
maners
,
he
caused
the
byshop
of
London
to
put
her
to
open
penaunce
,
goynge
before
a
crosse
on
sondaye
at
procession
with
a
taper
in
her
hande
.
In
the
which
she
went
in
countenaunce
and
pace
so
womanly
,
and
albeit
she
was
out
of
al
her
araye
sauyng
her
kyrtell
onelye
,
yet
wente
she
so
fayre
and
louely
,
and
namelye
when
the
wondryng
of
the
people
cast
a
comelye
rud
in
her
chekes
of
the
whiche
she
before
had
moste
mysse
,
that
her
greate
shame
wanne
her
muche
prayse
amongest
theim
that
were
more
amorous
of
her
bodye
then
curyous
of
her
soule
,
&
many
good
folke
that
hated
her
lyuyng
and
wer
glad
to
see
synne
corrected
,
yet
petied
they
more
her

then
reioysed

,
when
they
consydred
that
the
protectour
dyd
it
more
of
a

This

her

a

godlye
&
of
good
substaunce
,
but
forasmuche
as
they
were
coupled
or
she
were
well
rype
,
she
not
very
feruently
loued
for
whom
she
neuer
longed
,
whiche
was
the
thyng
(
by
chaunce
)
that
that
more
easely
made
her
to
encline
to
that
kynges
appetite
,
when
he
requyred
her
.
Howbeit
the
respect
of
his
royaltee
,
that
hope
of
gaye
apparel
,
ease
,
pleasure
and
other
wantonne
wealthe
was
hable
soone
to
perce

when
the

had
abused

an

that
coulde
his

not

lefte
her
vp
to
hym
all
together
.
When
the
kyng
dyed
,
that
lorde
Hastynges
tooke
her
,
which
in
the
kynges
dayes
albeit
that
he
was
sore
enamoured
with
her
,
yet
he
forbare
,
either
for
a
pryncelye
reuerence
or
for
a
certen
frendely
faythfulnesse
.
Propre
she
was
&
fayre
,
nothing
in
her
bodye
that
you
coulde
haue
chaunged
,
but
if
you
would
haue
wished
her
somwhat
hygher
.
This
saye
they
that
knewe
her
in
her
youthe
,
some
saied
and
iudged
that
she
had
bene
well
fauoured
,
and
some
iudged
the
contrarye
,
whose
iudgement
semeth
lyke
as
menne
gesse
the
bewtye
of
one
longe
before
departed
,
by
a
scalpe
taken
oute
of
a
chanell
house
,
&
this
iudgemente
was
in
the
tyme
of
kyng
Henry
the
eyghte
,
in
the
xviii
.
yere
of
whose
reygne
she
dyed
,
when
she
had
nothing
but
a
reueled
skynne
and
bone
.
Her
beautye
pleased
not
menne
so
muche
as
her
pleasaunt
behaueoure
,
for
she
had
a
propre
wytte
and
could
bothe
reade
and
wryte
,
mery
in
compaignye
,
redy
and
quicke
of
aunswer
,
nether
mute
nor
full
of
bable
,
sometime
taunting
withoute
displeasure
,
but
not
without
disporte
.
Kyng
Edward
woulde
saye
that
he
had
thre
concubines
,
which
in
diuerse
properties
diuerslye
excelled
,
one
,
the
meriest
,
that
other
the
wiliest
,
the
third
the
holyest
harlot
in
the
realme
as
one
,
whom
no
man
could
get
oute
of
the
churche
to
any
place
lightlye
,
but
yf
it
were
to
his
bed
,
the
other
two
were
somwhat
greater
personages
than
mastres
Shore
,
&
neuerthelesse
of
their
humilyte
were
content
to
bee
namelesse
and
to
forbeare
the
praise
of
these
properties
.
But
the
meryest
was
Shores
wyfe
in
whome
the
kyng
therfore
tooke
greate
pleasure
,
for
many
he
had
,
but
her
he
loued
whose
fauoure
to
saye
the
truthe
(
for
it
were
synne
to
lye
on
the
deuel
)
she
neuer
abused
to
any
mannes
hurte
but
to
many
mennes
comforte
&
releefe
For
where
the
kyng
tooke
displeasure
she
would
mitigate
&
apeace
his
mynde
,
where
menne
were
oute
of
fauoure
,
she
woulde
bring
theim
into
his
grace
,
for
many
that
had
highly
offended
,
she
opteygned
pardone
,
and
of
greate
forfeatures
she
gat
remissyon
,
and
finally
,
in
many
weightye
sutes
she
stoode
many
menne
in
greate
steade
,
either
for
none
or
for
very
small
rewardes
&
those
rather
gaye
then
ryche
,
either
for
that
she
was
contente
with
the
dede
well
done
,
or
for
that
she
delyghted
to
be
sued
vnto
,
and
to
shewe
what
she
was
hable
to
doo
with
the
kyng
,
or
for
that
that
wanton
wemenne
and
welthye
bee
not
alwayes
couetous
.
I
doubte
not
but
some
manne
wyll
thynke
this
womanne
to
bee
to
slyghte
to
bee
writen
of
,
amonge
graue
&
weightie
matters
,
whiche
they
shall
specially
thynke
that
happely
sawe
her
in
her
age
&
aduersite
,
but
me
semeth
that
chaunce
so
much
more
worthy
to
be
remembred
,
in
howe
muche
after
welth
she
f●ll
to
pouerte
,
&
from
richesse
to
beggerie
,
vnfrēded
oute
of
aquayntaunce
,
after
great
substaunce
after
so
great
fauoure
with
her
prince
,
after
so
great
suite
and
seking
to
,
as
many
other
menne
were
in
their
times
,
whiche
be
nowe
famous
onlye
by
the
infamye
of
theyr
euell
dedes
,
her
doinges
were
not
muche
lesse
remembred
because
they
were
not
so
euell
,
for
none
vse
to
wryte
an
euell
turne
in
marble
stone
,
but
a
good
turne
they
write
in
the
duste
,
whiche
is
not
worste
proued
by
her
,
for
after
her
welthe
she
wente
begginge
of
manye
that
hadde
begged
theim selfes
yf
she
had
not
holpen
theim
,
suche
was
her
chaunce
.
Nowe
was
it
deuysed
by

,
that
the

Thys
knyghte
broughte
these
foure
persoonnes
to
the
scaffolde
at
the
daye
appoynted
,
and
shewed
to
all
the
people
that
they
were
traytoures
,
notsufferynge
the
lordes
to
speake
,
and
to
declare
theyr
innocencye
,
leaste
their
wordes
myghte
haue
inclyned
menne
to
pytie
theym
and
to
hate
the
protectour
and
hys
part
,
and
so
wyth
oute
iudgemente
and
processe
of
the
lawe
caused
theim
to
bee
behedded
withoute
other
erthly
gylt
but
onely
that
they
were
good
menne
&
true
to
the
kyng
and
to
nye
to
the
quene
,
insomuche
as
Syr
Thomas
Vaughan
going
to
his
deathe
saied
,
A
wo
woorth
theim
that
tooke
the
prophecie
that
.
〈◊〉
should
destroy
kyng
Edwardes
children
,
mea
〈…〉
that
by
the
duke
of
Clarence
lorde
George
which
for
that
suspicion
is
nowe
dead
,
but
nowe
remayneth
Richard
.
G.
duke
of
Gloucetre
,
whiche
nowe
I
see
is
he
that
shall
&
wyll
accomplishe
the
prophecye
and
destroye
kyng
Edwardes
chyldren
&
all
theyr
alyes
and
frendes
,
as
it
appereth
by
vs
this
daye
,
whom
I
appele
to
the
hygh
tribunal
of
God
for
his
wrongful
murder
and
oure
true
innocencye
,
and
then
Ratclyffe
saied
,
you
haue
well
apeled
,
laye
downe
your
hed
,
ye
ꝙ
Syr
Thomas
,
I
dye
in
ryght
,
beware
you
dye
not
in
wrong
,
and
so
that
good
knight
was
beheded
and
that
other
.iii.
and
buried
naked
in
the
monastery
at
Pomfret
.
When
the
lorde
Hastinges
and
these
other
lordes
and
knyghtes
were
thus
behedded
&
ryd
oute
of
the
waye
,
then
the
Protectoure
caused
it
to
bee
proclaimed
that
the
coronacyon
for
dyuerse
great
and
vrgent
causes
shoulde
be
deferred
tyll
the
second
day
of
Nouembre
,
for
then
thought
he
,
that
whyle
men
mused
what
the
matter
ment
,
&
whyle
the
lordes
of
the
realme
were
aboute
hym
,
oute
of
their
owne
strengthes
,
and
while
no
manne
wyste
what
to
thynke
nor
whome
to
truste
,
or
euer
they
should
haue
tyme
and
space
to
digest
the
matter
,
and
make
partes
,
it
were
best
hastely
to
pursue
his
purpose
and
put
hym selfe
in
possessyon
of
the
croune
,
or
menne
coulde
haue
tyme
to
deuise
any
wyse
to
resyst
.
But
nowe
was
all
the
studye
,
thys
matter
beynge
of
it selfe
so
heynous
myghte
bee
fyrst
broken
to
the
people
in
such
wise
as
it
might
be
well
taken
.
To
thys
counsayle
they
tooke
dyuerse
suche
as
they
thoughte
metely
to
be
trusted
and
lykelye
to
be
enduced
to
that
parte
and
hable
to
stande
them
in
stede
,
ether
by
powre
or
by
pollycy
.
Amonge
who●e
,
they
made
a
counsayle
Edmounde
Shaa
then
mayre
of
London
,
whych
vpon
truste
of
his
owne
auauncement
,
wher
he
was
of
a
proude
heart
,
hyghly
desyreous
,
toke
on
hym
to
frame
the
cyte
to
theyr
appetite
.
Of
spirituall
men
they
tooke
suche
as
had
wyt
and
were
in
auctorytee
emongest
the
people
for
opynion
of
theyr
learnynge
and
hadde
no
scrupulous
conscyence
.
Emongest
these
,
had
they
tooke
Raffe
Shaa
clerke
brother
to
the
Mayre
,
and
Freer
Pynkie
prouyncyall
of
the
Augustyne
Freers
,
both
doctoures
in
diuinitee
,
both
great
preachers
,
both
of
more
learning
then
vertue
,
of
more
fame
then
learnyng
,
&
yet
of
more
lernyng
then
truthe
.
For
they
wer
before
greatelye
estemed
emonge
the
people
,
but
after
that
,
neuer
none
of
these
two
were
regarded
Shaa
made
a
sermonde
in
prayse
of
the
protectour
before
the
coronacion
,
and
Pynky
made
one
after
the
coronation
,
bothe
so
full
of
tedious
flatterye
,
that
no
good
mans
eares
coulde
abyde
them
Pynkye
in
hys
sermonde
so
lost
hys
voyce
that
he
was
fayne
to
leaue
of
and
come
downe
in
the
myddest
.
Doctoure
Shaa
by
hys
sermonde
loste
hys
honestye
,
and
soone
after
hys
lyfe
,
for
verye
shame
of
the
worlde
,
into
the
whyche
he
durst
neuer
after
much
come
abrode
,
but
the
Freer
forced
for
no
shame
,
and
so
yt
harmed
him
the
lesse
.
Howbeit
,
some
doubte
and
many
thyncke
that
Pinkey
was
not
of
counsayl
before
the
coronation
but
after
the
common
maner
fell
to
flattery
after
,
namely
,
because
his
sermounde
was
not
incontinente
vpon
it
,
but
at
Saynt
Mary
Spittle
the
Eastre
after
.
But
certayne
it
is
that
Doctoure
Shaa
was
of
counsayle
in
the
begynnynge
,
in
so
muche
that
they
determyned
that
he
shoulde
fyrst
breke
the
matter
in
a
sermond
at
Paules
crosse
,
in
which
he
shulde
by
the
authorytee
of
hys
preachyng
induce
the
people
to
enclyne
to
the
protectoures
ghoostly
purpose
.
But
nowe
was
all
the
laboure
and
studye
in
the
deuyse
of
some
conuenyent
pretexte
,
for
whyche
the
people
shoulde
be
contente
to
depose
the
prynce
and
accepte
the
protectoure
for
kyng
.
In
whyche
dyuerse
thynges
they
deuysed
,
but
the
chiefe
thynge
and
the
weyghte
of
all
that
inuention
rested
in
thys
,
that
they
shoulde
alledge
bastardy
in
kynge
Edwarde
hym selfe
,
or
in
his
chyldren
,
or
both
,
so
that
he
should
seme
disabled
to
enherite
the
crowne
by
the
duke
of
yorke
and
the
prynce
by
hym
.
To
laye
basterdy
in
king
Edward
sounded
openly
to
the
rebuke
of
the
protectoures
owne
mother
,
which
was
mother
to
the
bothe
.
For
in
that
poynte
coulde
bee
none
other
colour
,
but
to
pretend
that
hys
owne
mother
was
an
auoutresse
,
but
neuerthelesse
he
woulde
that
poynt
should
be
lesse
and
more
fynely
and
closely
handled
,
not
euen
fully
playne
and
dyrectlye
,
but
touched
a
slope
craftely
,
as
though
menne
spared
in
that
poynte
to
speake
all
the
truthe
for
feare
of
his
displeasure
.
But
that
other
poynt
concerning
the
basterdy
that
they
deuysed
to
surmise
in
king
Edwardes
children
,
that
woulde
he
shoulde
be
openly
declared
and
enforced
to
the
vttermost
.
The
coloure
and
pretexte
wherof
cannot
be
wel
perceaued
excepte
we
report
some
thynges
longe
before
done
aboute
kynge
Edwardes
maryages
.
After
king
Edwarde
the
.iiii.
had
deposed
king
Henry
the
.vi.
&
was
in
peasyable
possession
of
the
realme
,
determyning
him selfe
to
mary
(
as
was
requisite
)
both
for
him self
and
for
the
realme
,
he
set
the
earle
of
Warwike
and
diuerse
other
noble
men
in
ambassade
to
the
Frenche
kynge
to
entreate
a
maryage
betwene
that
kyng
and
Bona
syster
to
the
Frenche
kyng
.
In
whych
the
Earle
of
Warwike
founde
the
parties
so
towarde
and
wyllinge
that
he
spedely
wythout
anye
dyfficultie
according
to
hys
instruccyons
broughte
the
matter
to
a
good
conclusion
.
Nowe
happened
yt
in
the
meane
season
,
there
came
to
make
a
sute
to
the
kynge
by
petycyon
dame
Elyzabeth
Greye
(
whyche
after
was
hys
quene
)
then
a
wyddowe
,
borne
of
noble
blood
specyallye
by
her
mother
,
whyche
was
Duchesse
of
Bedforde
,
and
she
was
maryed
to
syr
Rychard
Wooduyle
,
Lorde
Ryuers
her
father
.
Howebeit
,
thys
Elyzabeth
beynge
in
seruyce
wyth
quene
Margarete
wyfe
to
kynge
Henrye
the
syxt
,
was
maryed
to
one
Ihon
Greye
Esquyre
whome
kynge
Henrye
made
knyghte
at
the
last
hattayle
of
Saynte
Albons
,
but
lytle
whyle
he
enioyed
hys
knyghtehoode
for
at
that
feelde
he
was
slayne
.
Afterwarde
that
kynge
Edwarde
was
kynge
&
the
Earle
of
Warwyke
being
on
his
ambassad
this
poore
ladye
made
sute
to
the
kyng
to
be
restored
to
such
small
landes
as
her
husbande
had
geuen
her
in
ioyntour
,
whom
when
the
kyng
beheld
and
heard
her
speake
,
as
she
was
bothe
fayre
and
of
a
good
fauoure
,
moderate
of
nature
,
well
made
and
very
wyse
,
he
not
alonlye
pytied
her
,
but
also
wexed
enamored
on
her
,
and
takynge
her
secretly
a
syde
beganne
to
enter
into
talkynge
more
famylyerly
,
whose
apetite
when
she
perceaued
,
she
vertuoslye
denyed
him
,
but
that
dyd
she
so
wyselye
&
that
with
so
good
maner
&
wordes
so
wel
set
,
that
she
rather
kyndled
hys
desyre
then
quenched
it
.
And
fynally
,
after
manye
a
metynge
and
muche
wowynge
and
manye
great
promyses
she
well
espyed
the
kynges
affeccyon
towarde
her
so
greatelye
encreased
that
she
durstesomewhat
the
more
boldly
say
her
mynde
,
as
to
hym
whose
hearte
she
perceaued
more
feruently
set
then
to
fall
of
for
a
word
.
And
in
conclusion
she
shewed
hym
playn
that
as
she
wyst
her self
to
simple
to
be
his
wife
,
so
thought
she
her selfe
to
good
to
be
hys
concubyne
.
The
kyng
much
maruelyng
of
her
constancy
,
as
he
that
had
not
bene
wont
elles
where
so
styfly
sayd
nay
,
so
much
estemed
her
continencye
&
chastitee
,
that
he
set
her
vertue
in
stead
of
possession
and
rychesse
.
And
this
taking
councel
of
his
owne
desyre
determyned
in
hast
to
mary
her
.
And
after
that
he
was
thus
apointed
&
had
betwene
them
twayn
ensured
her
then
asked
he
the
councel
of
his
secret
frendes
,
&
that
in
such
maner
that
they
myght
easly
perseaue
that
it
boted
not
to
say
nay
,
Notwythstanding
,
the
duches
of
york
his
mother
was
so
sore
moued
ther
with
that
she
diswaded
that
mariage
as
much
as
she
possible
might
Alledgyng
that
it
was
his
honour
,
profite
&
suretie
to
marye
in
some
noble
progenie
oute
of
the
realme
,
wherupon
depended
greate
strength
to
his
estate
by
that
affinitee
and
greate
possibilite
of
encreace
of
his
dominions
.
And
that
he
could
not
well
otherwise
dooe
,
consideryng
the
erle
of
Warwike
had
so
ferfoorth
entered
into
the
matter
all
readie
,
whiche
was
not
like
to
take
it
well
if
all
his
voyage
were
in
suche
wise
frustrate
&
his
apointment
deluded
.
And
she
saied
ferther
that
it
was
not
princely
to
marye
his
owne
subiect
,
no
greater
occacion
ledyng
therunto
,
no
possessions
nor
other
commodyte
dependyng
therupon
,
but
only
as
a
riche
man
would
mary
his
mayden
onely
for
a
litle
wanton
dotage
vpon
her
persone
.
In
whiche
maryage
many
menne
commende
more
the
maydens
fortune
then
the
mannes
wysedome
,
and
yet
she
saied
that
there
was
more
honestye
then
honoure
in
this
maryage
forasmuche
as
there
is
not
betwene
a
marchaunt
and
his
mayde
so
greate
a
dyfference
as
betwene
a
kyng
and
his
subiect
,
a
great
prince
and
a
poore
wydowe
.
In
whose
persone
,
although
there
were
nothyng
to
bee
mislyked
,
yet
was
there
saied
she
,
nothyng
so
excellent
but
that
it
might
bee
founde
in
dyuerse
other
that
were
more
metely
(
ꝙ
she
)
for
your
estate
,
yee
and
maydens
also
,
the
onely
wydowhead
of
dame
Elizabeth
Grey
(
although
she
were
in
all
other
pointes
and
thynges
conuenient
for
you
)
should
suffise
as
me
thynketh
to
refrayne
you
from
her
maryage
,
sith
it
is
an
vnsittyng
thyng
and
a
greate
blemishe
to
the
sacred
maiestie
of
a
prince
that
ought
as
nere
to
approche
prestehoode
in
clennesse
,
as
he
dooth
in
dignitee
,
to
bee
defiled
with
bigamy
in
his
first
mariage
.
The
kyng
made
his
mother
an
aunswere
parte
in
earnest
&
parte
in
plaiemerely
,
as
he
that
wist
hym self
oute
of
rule
,
&
albeit
he
would
gladly
that
she
should
take
it
well
,
yet
was
he
at
apoynct
in
his
awne
mynde
,
tooke
she
it
well
or
otherwise
.
Howbeit
,
somewhat
to
satisfie
her
he
saied
,
that
albeit
maryage
beyng
a
spirituall
thyng
ought
rather
to
bee
made
for
the
respecte
of
God
where
his
grace
enclineth
the
parties
to
loue
together
(
as
he
trusted
it
was
in
his
case
)
rather
then
for
that
regard
of
any
temporall
aduauntage
,
yet
neuerthelesse
hym
semed
this
maryage
well
consydered
not
to
bee
vnprofitable
,
for
he
reconed
the
amytee
of
no
earthely
nacion
to
bee
so
necessary
for
hym
as
that
frendship
of
his
owne
,
whiche
he
thought
lykely
to
beare
hym
somuche
that
more
hartie
fauoure
in
that
he
disdayned
not
to
mary
with
one
of
his
awne
land
,
&
yet
if
outward
aliaunce
were
thought
so
requisite
,
he
would
finde
the
meanes
to
enter
therunto
muche
better
by
other
of
his
kinne
where
all
that
parties
could
bee
contented
,
then
to
marye
hym selfe
wherein
he
should
neuer
happely
loue
,
&
for
the
possibilite
of
possessions
lese
that
fruyte
&
pleasure
of
this
that
he
had
alreadie
.
For
small
pleasure
taketh
a
manne
of
all
that
euer
he
hath
besyde
,
if
he
bee
wiued
against
his
appetite
,
and
I
doubte
not
(
ꝙ
he
,
)
but
ther
be
as
you
saie
other
that
bee
in
euery
poinct
comparable
with
her
,
&
therfore
I
let
not
theim
that
like
theim
to
mary
theim
,
no
more
is
it
reason
that
it
mislike
any
manne
that
I
marye
where
it
liketh
me
.
And
I
am
sure
that
my
cousyn
of
Warwike
,
neither
loueth
me
so
litle
,
to
grudge
at
that
that
I
loue
,
ner
is
so
vnreasonable
to
look
that
I
should
in
choise
of
a
wife
rather
bee
ruled
by
his
yie
then
by
myne
owne
,
as
though
I
were
a
warde
that
were
bounden
to
mary
by
a
garden
.
I
would
not
bee
a
kyng
with
that
condicion
to
forbeare
myne
owne
libertie
in
choyse
of
myne
awne
maryage
,
as
for
possibylyte
of
more
inheritaunce
by
newe
affinite
in
straunge
landes
,
is
ofte
that
occasion
of
more
trouble
than
proffite
.
And
we
haue
already
title
by
that
meanes
,
as
lustiseth
to
get
&
kepe
well
in
one
mannes
daye
.
That
she
is
a
widowe
&
hath
already
children
.
By
goddes
blessed
ladye
,
I
am
a
bacheler
&
haue
some
too
,
&
so
eche
of
vs
hath
a
proofe
that
nether
of
vs
is
like
to
be
barren
.
And
therfore
madame
I
praie
you
bee
content
,
I
trust
to
God
she
shall
bryng
foorth
a
younge
prince
that
shall
please
you
.
And
as
for
the
bigamy
,
let
the
bisshop
hardely
laie
it
to
my
charge
when
I
come
to
take
ordres
,
for
I
vnderstand
it
is
forbidden
a
preest
but
I
neuer
wist
that
it
was
forbidden
a
prince
.
The
duches
with
these
woordes
nothing
apeased
&
seyng
that
kyng
so
set
on
that
she
could
not
plucke
hym
backe
,
so
highly
she
disdeined
it
,
that
vnder
pretext
of
her
dutye
to
Godwarde
she
deuised
to
dysturbe
this
maryage
,
and
rather
to
helpe
that
he
should
mary
one
dame
Elizabeth
Lucye
,
whom
the
kyng
not
long
before
had
gotten
with
chylde
,
wherfore
the
kyng
his
mother
obiected
openlye
against
this
maryage
(
as
it
were
in
dyscharge
of
her
conscyence
)
that
the
kyng
was
sure
to
dame
Elizabeth
Lucye
and
her
housbande
before
God
,
by
reason
of
whiche
woordes
suche
obstacle
was
made
in
that
matter
,
that
either
the
bysshoppe
durste
not
or
the
kyng
woulde
not
proceade
to
the
solempnisacion
of
the
mariage
,
till
this
fame
were
clerly
purged
,
and
the
truth
well
and
openly
testified
)
wherupon
dame
Elizabeth
Lucye
was
sent
for
,
and
albeit
she
was
by
the
kynges
mother
and
many
other
put
in
good
comforte
to
affirme
that
she
was
assured
to
the
kyng
,
yet
when
she
was
solemply
sworne
to
saie
the
truthe
,
she
confessed
that
thei
were
neuer
ensured
.
Howbeit
she
said
his
grace
spake
suche
louyng
woordes
to
her
,
that
she
verely
hoped
that
he
would
haue
maryed
her
,
and
that
if
suche
kynde
woordes
had
not
been
,
she
would
neuer
haue
shewed
suche
kyndenesse
to
hym
,
to
let
hym
so
kyndely
to
gette
her
with
childe
.
This
examynacion
solemply
taken
,
it
was
clerely
proued
that
there
was
no
impedyment
to
lette
the
kyng
to
marye
,
wherfore
he
shortlye
after
at
Grafton
beside
Stonye
stratforde
maryed
the
ladye
Elizabeth
Grey
verey
priuelye
,
whiche
was
his
enemyes
wife
and
had
prayed
hartely
for
his
losse
,
in
the
whiche
God
loued
her
better
then
to
graunte
her
bone
,
for
then
had
she
not
been
his
wife
.
And
alter
that
she
was
crouned
quene
,
and
her
father
was
created
Erle
Riuers
and
her
soonne
created
Marques
Dorset
.
But
when
the
Erle
of
〈…〉
arwike
vnderstoode
of
this
maryage
,
he
tooke
it
so
highly
,
that
therof
ensued
muche
trouble
and
〈…〉
ate
blooddshed
as
is
declared
before
in
the
storye
of
Edward
the
fourth
.
I
haue
rehersed
this
mariage
somewhat
the
〈…〉
at
length
,
because
it
might
therby
the
better
〈…〉
vpon
howe
fleight
aground
the
protectoure
〈…〉
coloure
,
by
whiche
he
pretended
kyng
〈…〉
ldren
to
bee
bastardes
,
but
the
in
〈…〉
le
as
it
was
lyked
theim
to
whom
it
suffyseth
to
haue
somwhat
to
saye
,
whyle
they
were
sure
to
bee
compelled
to
no
larger
proffe
then
theim selues
lyst
to
make
.
Nowe
to
retourne
where
I
lefte
,
as
I
beganne
to
shewe
you
,
it
was
by
the
protectoure
&
his
councell
concluded
that
this
doctour
Shaa
shoulde
in
a
sermond
at
Paules
crosse
signifie
to
the
people
that
neyther
kyng
Edward
hym selfe
ner
the
duke
of
Clarence
were
lawfullye
begotten
,
nor
were
the
very
children
of
the
duke
of
Yorke
,
but
begotten
vnlawfullye
by
other
personnes
by
aduoutrye
of
the
duches
theyr
mother
.
And
dame
Elizabeth
Lucye
was
the
very
wyfe
of
kyng
Edwarde
,
&
so
prynce
Edward
&
all
the
chyldren
begotten
on
the
quene
were
bastardes
.
And
accordyng
to
this
deuyce
,
doctor
Shaa
the
sonday
after
at
Paules
crosse
in
a
greate
audience
(
as
alwaye
a
greate
nombre
assembled
to
his
preachyng
)
came
into
the
pulpet
takyng
for
his
Theme
.
Spuria
Vitulamina
non
dabunt
radices
altos
.
Sapiencie
quarto
.
that
is
to
saye
:
Bastarde
slyppes
shall
neuer
take
depe
rootes
,
whereupon
when
he
had
shewed
the
great
grace
that
God
geueth
and
secretlye
infoundeth
in
right
generacion
after
the
lawes
of
matrymony
:
Then
declared
he
that
those
chyldren
commenlye
lacked
that
grace
(
and
for
the
punyshement
of
their
parentes
)
were
for
the
moste
parte
vnhappye
whiche
were
gotten
in
baste
,
and
speciallye
in
aduoutrye
,
of
whiche
(
thoughe
some
by
the
ignorauncye
of
the
worlde
and
the
truthe
hid
from
knowledge
)
haue
enheryted
for
a
season
other
mennes
landes
,
yet
God
alwaye
so
prouydeth
that
it
contynueth
not
in
their
bloodde
longe
,
but
the
truthe
commyng
to
lyght
the
rightfull
enheritoures
be
restored
,
and
the
bastard
slyppes
plucked
vp
or
it
can
bee
rooted
depe
.
And
when
he
had
layd
for
the
proofe
and
confirmacion
of
this
sentence
,
examples
taken
out
of
the
olde
testamente
and
other
auncient
historyes
,
then
beganne
he
to
discende
to
the
prayse
of
lorde
Richarde
duke
of
Yorke
,
callyng
hym
father
of
the
protectoure
:
and
declared
his
tytle
to
the
croune
by
inherytaunce
,
and
also
by
an
entayle
autorysed
by
parliament
after
the
death
of
kyng
Henry
the
syxte
.
Then
shewed
he
that
the
lorde
protectoure
was
onlye
the
right
heire
of
his
body
lawfullye
begotten
,
then
declared
he
that
kynge
Edward
was
neuer
lawfully
maryed
to
the
quene
but
his
wife
before
God
was
dame
Elizabeth
Lucye
,
and
so
his
chyldren
were
bastardes
.
And
besydes
that
,
that
neyther
kyng
Edwarde
hym selfe
nor
the
duke
of
Clarence
(
amongest
theim
that
wer
secrete
in
the
duke
of
Yorkes
houshold
)
were
neuer
reconed
surelye
to
bee
the
chyldren
of
the
noble
duke
,
as
those
that
by
their
fauoures
more
resembled
other
knowen
menne
then
hym
,
from
whose
verteous
condicions
he
sayde
also
that
kyng
Edwarde
was
farre
of
.
But
the
lorde
pretectoure
(
ꝙ
he
)
that
veray
noble
prince
,
the
specyall
patrone
of
knightly
prowes
,
aswell
in
all
princely
behaueour
as
in
the
lyniamentes
and
fauoure
of
his
vysage
representeth
the
veraye
face
of
the
noble
duke
his
father
.
This
is
(
ꝙ
he
)
the
fathers
owne
fygure
,
this
is
his
owne
countenaunce
,
that
very
print
of
his
vysage
,
the
sure
vndoubted
ymage
,
that
playn
expresse
likenesse
of
that
nobble
duke
.
Now
was
it
before
deuysed
that
in
the
speakyng
of
these
wordes
,
the
protectour
shuld
haue
come
in
amongest
the
people
to
the
sermond
ward
,
to
th
ende
that
these
woordes
so
metyng
with
his
presence
,
might
haue
bene
taken
amongest
the
herers
,
as
though
the
holye
ghoste
had
put
theim
in
the
preachers
mouthe
,
&
shoulde
haue
moued
the
people
euen
there
to
haue
cryed
kyng
Richard
,
that
it
might
haue
bene
after
sayde
that
he
was
specially
chosen
by
God
,
and
in
maner
by
myracle
,
but
this
deuyce
quayled
eyther
by
the
protectoures
neglygence
or
the
preachers
ouer
hasty
dilygence
.
For
whyle
the
protectoure
founde
by
the
waye
tariynge
leaste
he
shoulde
haue
preuented
these
woordes
,
the
doctoure
fearynge
that
he
shoulde
come
or
his
sermon
coulde
come
to
those
wordes
hastyng
his
matter
thereto
,
he
was
come
to
theim
&
paste
theim
,
and
entred
into
other
matters
or
the
protectoure
came
,
whome
when
he
behelde
commyng
,
he
sodenly
left
the
matter
whiche
he
had
in
hande
,
and
without
any
deduccion
therunto
,
out
of
al
ordre
and
out
of
all
frame
beganne
to
repete
those
woordes
agayne
.
This
is
the
very
noble
prince
,
the
especyall
patrone
of
knyghtlye
prowes
,
whyche
aswell
in
all
pryncely
behaueoure
as
in
the
lyniamentes
and
fauoure
of
his
vysage
representeth
the
veraye
face
of
the
noble
duke
of
Yorke
his
father
.
This
is
the
fathers
owne
fygure
,
this
is
his
owne
countenaunce
,
the
veraye
prynte
of
his
visage
,
the
sure
vndoubted
ymage
,
the
playne
expresse
lykenesse
of
that
noble
duke
,
whose
remembraunce
can
neuer
dye
whyle
he
lyueth
.
Whyle
these
wordes
were
in
speakynge
the
protectour
accompanyed
with
the
duke
of
Buckyngham
,
wente
throughe
the
people
vp
into
the
place
where
the
doctors
stande
and
there
hearde
they
out
the
sermond
:
but
the
people
were
so
farre
from
cryenge
kynge
Richard
that
they
stoode
as
they
had
bene
turned
into
stones
for
wonder
of
this
shamefull
sermond
,
after
whiche
once
ended
the
preacher
gate
him
home
and
neuer
after
durst
looke
out
,
and
when
he
asked
any
of
his
olde
frendes
,
what
the
people
talked
of
hym
,
although
that
his
owne
conscience
well
shewed
hym
that
they
talked
no
good
,
yet
when
the
other
aunswered
hym
,
that
there
was
in
euerye

of

spoken
,
it
so
strake
hym
to
his

that
in

Of

for

amongest
so

of

yf
any

it
grewe
either
of

of

then
any

so
that
there
was

pylled
from

great
substaunce
of

,
to

amonge

so
farforth
that
fiftenes
suffised

not

wher

thynke
that

looketh
that
we
shall
remember
of

,
as
though
Burder
were

that
was
for
a

spoken
,
in
hast
cruelly
behedded
by
the
misconstruing
of

of

for
the

pleasure
,
with
no

honoure
to
Merkam
chiefe
Iustice
then
(
whiche
loste
his

rather
then
he
would
assent
to
that
iudgement
)
to
the
dishonestie
of
those
that
other
for
feare
or
flatterie
gaue
that
iudgemente
:
what
nede
I
to
speake
of
Thomas
Cooke
Aldremanne
&
maire
of
this
noble
cytee
,
who
is
of
you
ether
for
negligence
that
wotteth
not
,
or
so
forget
full
that
he
remembreth
not
,
or
so
heard
harted
that
he
petieth
not
that
worshipful
mannes
losse
?
what
speke
I
of
losse
,
his
wounderfull
spoile
and
vndeserued
distruccion
,
onely
because
it
happed
theim
to
fauoure
hym
whome
the
Prince
fauoured
not
.
We
nede
not
reherse
of
these
any
mo
by
name
,
sith
I
doubte
not
that
here
bee
many
present
that
either
in
theim selfes
or
their
nyghe
frendes
,
aswell
their
goodes
as
persones
were
greatly
endaungered
other
by
fained
quarels
or
smal
matters
aggreued
with
heinous
names
,
and
also
there
was
no
crime
so
great
of
which
there
could
lacke
a
pretexte
.
For
sith
the
king
preuenting
the
time
of
his
inheritaunce
atteined
the
croune
by
battail
,
it
suffised
in
a
riche
manne
for
a
pretext
of
treason
,
to
haue
been
of
kinred
or
aliaunce
,
nor
of
familiarite
or
lenger
of
acquaintaunce
with
any
of
those
,
that
wer
at
any
time
the
kinges
enemies
,
which
was
at
one
time
or
another
more
then
halfe
the
realme
.
Thus
were
nether
your
goodes
,
nether
landes
,
in
suerte
,
&
yet
they
brought
your
bodies
in
ieopardie
,
beside
that
comen
aduenture
of
open
war
,
which
albeit
,
that
it
is
euer
that
well
&
occasion
of
much
mischief
,
yet
is
it
neuer
so
mischeuous
as
where
any
people
fal
in
deuision
,
&
at
al
distaunce
among
theim selues
,
&
in
no
realme
erthly
so
deadly
and
so
pestylent
as
when
it
happeneth
amongest
vs
.
And
among
vs
neuer
continued
so
long
discencion
nor
so
many
batailes
in

that
getting
of
the
garland
,
keping
it
,
lesing
&
winning
again
,
it
hath
coste
more
English
blood
then
hath
the
twise
winning
of
Fraunce
.
In
which
inward
war
amongest
our selues
hath
bene
so
great
effusion
of
the
auncient
noble
blood
of
this
realme
,
that
scacely
the
halfe
remaineth
,
to
the
great
enfebling
of
this
nobleland
,
beside
many
a
good
toune
ransaked
&
spoiled
by
them
that
haue
been
going
to
that
feld
or
retourning
from
thence
,
&
peace
after
not
much
surer
then
war
.
So
that
no
tyme
was
there
in
the
which
riche
men
for
theyr
money
,
&
great
men
for
their
landes
or
some
other
,
for
some
feare
or
for
some
displeasure
wer
out
of
perell
.
For
whom
mistrusted
he
that
mistrusted
his
owne
brother
?
Whom
spared
he
that
killed
his
owne
brother
?
Could
not
such
maner
of
folke
that
he
moste
fauoured
dooe
somwhat
(
we
shall
for
his
honoure
spare
to
speke
)
howbeit
,
this
ye
wote
wel
all
,
that
who
so
was
best
bare
euer
the
least
rule
,
&
more
suite
in
his
daies
was
to
Shores
wife
,
a
vile
&
abhominable
strompet
then
to
all
the
lordes
in
England
,
excepte
vnto
those
that
made
her
their
Protectoure
,
which
simple
woman
was
yet
wel
named
&
honest
tyll
the
Kynge
for
his
luste
and
synfull
affeceyon
berefte
her
from
her
husband
,
a
right
honest
man
and
substanciall
amongest
you
.
And
in
that
point
whiche
in
good
fayth
I
am
sorye
to
speake
of
,
sauing
that
it
is
vayne
to
kepe
in
councell
that
thyng
that
all
menne
knoweth
,
the
kynges
gredy
appetite
was
insaciable
,
and
euerye
where
ouer
all
the
realme
intollerable
.
For
no
womanne
was
there
any
where
,
younge
or
olde
,
poore
or
ryche
,
whome
he
set
his
iye
vpon
,
whome
he
any
thing
liked
eyther
for
persone
or
beautie
,
speche
,
pace
or
countenaunce
,
but
without
any
feare
of
God
,
or
respecte
of
his
honoure
,
murmoure
,
or
grudgyng
of
the
worlde
,
he
would
importunately
pursue
his
appetite
&
haue
her
,
to
the
great
distruccion
of
many
a
good
womanne
,
and
greate
doloure
to
theyr
husbandes
and
frendes
,
whiche
being
honest
people
of
theim selues
,
so
much
regarded
the
clennesse
of
their
houses
,
the
chastitee
of
their
wiues
and
children
,
that
theim
were
leuer
to
loose
all
that
they
haue
beside
,
then
to
haue
suche
a
vilame
done
to
theim
.
And
albeit
that
with
this
and

,
the

anoyed
,
yet

And

I

that
you

so
wyse
,
that
no

wotteth
better
what
he
should
do

say
,
and
thereto
so
good
and
vertuous
that

,
which

not

in

,
namely
,
in
to
the
whiche
no

:
which
honourable
preacher
ye
wel

,
substancyally
declared
to
you
at
Poules
crosse
on

daye
laste

,
the
ryght
and
tytle
of
the
most
excellent

Rychard
Duke
of
Glouceter
nowe
protectoure
of
thys
hys

whych
he
hath
vnto
the

of
the

of

For
the
worshipful
man
made
yt
perfytely
and
groundly
open
vnto
you
.
The
chyldren
of
kynge
Edwarde
the

wer
neuer
laufully

,
for
as
much
as
the
kynge
(
lyuyng
hys
very
wyfe

Elizabeth
Lucy
)
was
neuer
laufully
maried
to
the
quene
theyr
mother
,
whose
blood
sauyng
he
set
hys
volupteous
pleasure
before
hys
honour
,
was
ful
vnmetely
to
be
matched
with
his
(
the
mynglyng
of
which
two
bloodes
together
hath
bene
the
effusion
of
a
gret
part
of
the
noble
blod
of
this
realme
wher
by
it
may
well
be
sene
,
that
mariage
was
not
well
made
,
of
which
ther
is
so
much
myschiefe
growen
For
lacke
of
which
laweful
copulation
&
also
of
other
thinges
which
the
sayd
worshipful
doctour
,
rather
signified
than
vtterly
explaned
,
&
which
thing
shall
not
be
spoke
for
me
,
as
the
thing
that
euery
man
forbeareth
to
say
that
he
knoweth
,
in
aduoiding
the
dy
spleasour
that
my
noble
lorde
protectour
bearing
as
nature
requireth
a
filiall
reuerence
to
the
duches
his
mother
.
For
these
causes
before
remembred
I
say
that
for
lack
of
yssue
lawfully
comming
of
the
late
noble
prince
Richard
duke
of
york
,
to
whose
roial
blod
the
crownes
of
England
&
of
Fraunce
ar
by
high

of

entayled
,
the
right
&
tytle
of
the

is
by
iuste
course
of
enheritaunce
according
to
the
comon
law
of
this

,
deuoluted
&
come
vnto
the

the

protectour
,
as
to
the
very
lawful
begotten
soonne
of
the
fore remembred
noble
duke
of
yorke
,
whiche
thing
wel
considered
&
the
knightly
prowesse
with
many
vertues
which
in
his
noble
person
singulerly
do
habound
:
The
nobles
&
comons
of
this
realme
,
and
specially
of
that
north
partes
,
not
willing
any
bastard
blood
to
haue
the
rule
of
the
land
,
nor
the
abusions
in
the

before
vsed

exercised
any

,
haue
fully
condiscended
&
vtterly
determyned
to

that

of

,
to
the
welth
&
increase
of
the

according
to
his
very
right
&
iust
title
,
which
thing
I
wote
wel
he
wyl
be

as

whosoeuer

I

say
he
wyl
yf

(
for
I
warrante
you
that
that
roome
is
no
childes
office
)
&
that
the
greate
wise
man
wel
perceaued
when
he
sayd
Ve
regno
cuius
rex
puer
est
,
wo
to
that
realme
whose
king
is
a
chylde
wherefore
,
so
much
more
cause
haue
we
to
thank
god
that
this
noble
personage
,
which
is
so
righteously
entitled
therto
is
of
so
sad
age
,
&
therto
of
so
great
wisdome
ioyned
with
so
gret
experience
,
which
albeit
,
he
wyl
be
loth
to
take
vpon
him
,
yet
shal
he
to
our
peticion
in
the
behalfe
the
more
graciously
encline
,
if
ye
the
worshipful
cytezins
of
this
cite
beyng
the
chefe
cite
of
the
realme
ioyne
with
vs
the
nobles
in
our
sayd
request
,
which
for
your
owne
weale
we
doubte
not
but
that
ye
wyll
.
And
yet
neuerthelesse
,
we
pray
you
so
to
do
,
wherby
ye
shall
do
great
profite
to
all
this
his
realme
.
Beside
that
,
in
chosinge
then
so
good
a
kinge
,
yt
shal
be
to
your selfe
a
special
commodite
to
whom
his
maiesty
shal
euer
after
,
bear
so
much
the
more
tender
fauour
,
in
how
much
he
shal
perceaue
you
the
more
prone
and
beneuolentlye
mynded
toward
his
eleccion
,
wherin
dere
frendes
,
what
mynd
you
haue
,
we
require
you
playnelye
to
shewe
vs
?
When
the
duke
had
said
&
loked
that
the
people
whom
he
hoped
that
the
maire
had
framed
before
,
should
after
this
flatering
preposicion
made
haue
cryed
king
Richard
,
king
Richard
,
all
was
styl
&
mute
&
not
one
word
answered
to
:
wher
with
the
duke
was
meruelously
abashed
and
takyng
the
Mayre
nere
to
him
with
other
that
were
about
hym
preuy
to
the
matter
sayde
vnto
theim
softelye
.
What
meaneth
this
that
the
people
be
so
styll
?
Sir
ꝙ
the
Mayre
percase
they
perceaue
you
not
wel
,
the
shal
we
amend
ꝙ
he
yf
that
wyl
helpe
,
&
therwith
somewhat
lowder
rehersed
the
same
matter
again
,
in
other
ordre
&
other
wordes
so
well
and
ordinately
,
&
neuerthelesse
so
euydently
&
plain
,
with
voyce
gesture
and
countenaunce
so
comely
&
so
conuenient
,
that
euery
man
muche
marueiled
that
heard
hym
,
&
thought
that
thei
neuer
hearde
in
their
liues
so
euell
a
tale
so
well
tolde
.
But
wer
it
for
wonder
or
for
other
,
the
eache
loked
that
other
should
speake
fyrst
,
not
one
worde
was
there
aunswered
of
all
the
people
that
stode
before
,
but
all
were
as
styll
as
the
midnight
not
so
much
as
rounyng
emong
theim
,
by
which
they
might
seme
once
to
commen
what
was
beste
to
do
.
When
the
Mayre
sawe
this
,
he
with
other
parteners
of
the
councel
,
drewe
about
the
duke
and
said
that
the
people
had
not
bene
accustomed
ther
to
bee
spoken
to
but
by
the
recorder
,
whyche
is
the
mouth
of
the
citee
,
&
happly
to
hym
they
wyl
aunswer
.
With
that
the
recorder
called
Thomas
Fize
William
a
sad
man
&
an
honest
,
whiche
was
but
newly
come
to
the
offyce
&
neuer
had
spoken
to
the
people
before
,
&
loth
was
with
that
matter
to
begyn
,
notwithstanding
,
therunto
commaunded
by
the
Mayre
,
made
rehersall
to
the
commons
of
that
which
the
Duke
had
twyse
purposed
hys
self
but
the
recorder
so
tempered
hys
tale
,
that
he
shewed
euery
thyng
as
the
Dukes
wordes
were
,
and
no
parte
of
his
owne
,
but
all
this
no
chaunge
made
in
the
people
,
whych
alwaye
after
one
stoode
as
thei
had
bene
amased
.
Whereupon
the
Duke
rouned
with
the
mayre
and
said
,
this
is
a
marueleous
obstynate
scylence
,
and
therwith
turned
to
the
people
again
with
these
woordes
.
Deare
frendes
,
we
come
to
moue
you
to
that
thyng
whiche
paraduenture
we
so
greatly
neded
not
,
but
that
the
lordes
of
this
realme
and
commons
of
other
parties
might
haue
sufficed
sauyng
suche
loue
we
beare
you
,
and
so
muche
set
by
you
that
we
would
not
gladly
dooe
with
oute
you
,
that
thyng
in
whiche
to
bee
parteners
is
your
weale
and
honoure
whiche
as
to
vs
semeth
you
se
not
or
waye
not
.
Wherfore
we
require
you
to
geue
vs
an
aunswer
one
or
other
,
whether
ye
bee
mynded
as
all
the
nobles
of
the
realme
bee
,
to
haue
this
noble
prince
nowe
protectoure
to
bee
your
kyng
?
And
at
these
woordes
the
people
beganne
to
whisper
emong
theim selfes
secretlye
,
that
the
voyce
was
nether
lowde
nor
base
,
but
like
a
swarme
of
bees
,
till
at
the
last
at
the
nether
ende
of
the
halle
a
bushement
of
the
dukes
seruauntes
and
one
Nashfeelde
and
other
belongyng
to
the
protectoure
with
some
prentices
and
laddes
that
thrusted
into
the
halle
emongest
the
preace
,
began
sodenly
at
mennes
backes
to
crye
,
kyng
Rychard
,
kyng
Rychard
,
and
there
threwe
vp
their
cappes
in
token
of
ioye
,
and
thei
that
stoode
before
caste
their
heddes
maruelyng
therat
,
but
nothyng
thei
saied
.
And
when
the
duke
and
the
mayre
sawe
this
maner
thei
wisely
turned
it
to
their
purpose
,
and
saied
it
was
a
goodly
crye
&
a
ioifull
to
here
euery
manne
with
one
voyce
and
no
manne
saiyng
naye
.
Wherfore
frendes
(
ꝙ
the
duke
,
)
sith
we
perceaue
that
it
is
all
your
whole
myndes
to
haue
this
noble
manne
for
your
kyng
,
wherof
we
shall
make
his
grace
effectuall
report
that
we
doubte
not
but
that
it
shall
redounde
to
your
great
wealth
&
commodite
.
We
therfore
requier
you
that
to
morowe
ye
go
with
vs
&
we
with
you
to
his
noble
grace
to
make
humble
peticion
&
request
to
hym
in
maner
before
remembred
.
And
therwith
the
lordes
came
downe
and
the
compaignie
dissolued
&
departed
the
more
parte
all
sad
,
some
with
glad
sembleaunce
the
were
not
verye
merie
,
and
some
of
theim
that
came
with
the
duke
,
not
hable
to
dissemble
their
sorowe
,
were
faine
euen
at
his
backe
to
turne
their
face
to
the
wall
,
while
the
doloure
of
their
heartes
brast
oute
of
their
y●es
.
Then
on
the
morowe
the
mayre
&
aldremen
and
chief
commoners
of
the
citee
in
their
best
maner
appareled
,
assemblyng
theim
together
at
Paules
,
resorted
to
Baynardes
castel
where
the
ꝓtectour
laye
,
to
whiche
place
also
accordyng
to
the
apointement
repaired
the
duke
of
Buckynghm̄
&
dyuerse
nobles
with
hym
,
besydes
many
knightes
&
gentlemen
.
And
therupon
that
duke
sent
woord
to
the
lord
protectoure
of
the
beyng
there
of
a
great
honourable
compaignie
to
moue
a
great
matter
to
his
grace
.
Wherupon
the
protectoure
made
great
difficultie
to
come
downe
to
theim
,
excepte
he
knewe
some
part
of
their
errand
as
though
he
doubted
&
partly
mistrusted
the
commyng
of
suche
a
noumbre
to
hym
so
sodenly
,
without
any
warning
or
knowledge
,
whether
thei
came
for
good
or
harme
Then
when
the
duke
had
shewed
this
to
the
mayre
&
other
,
that
thei
might
therby
se
howe
litle
the
protectoure
looked
for
this
matter
,
thei
sent
again
by
that
messenger
suche
louyng
message
,
&
ther
with
so
humblie
besought
hym
to
vouchesalue
that
thei
might
resorte
to
his
presence
to
purpose
their
entent
of
which
thei
would
to
none
other
persone
disclose
,
at
the
last
he
came
oute
of
his
chaumbre
,
and
yet
not
downe
to
theim
,
but
in
a
galary
ouer
theim
with
a
bishop
on
euery
hand
of
him
,
where
thei
beneth
might
se
hym
&
speake
to
hym
,
as
though
he
would
not
yet
come
nere
theim
till
he
wist
what
thei
meant
.
And
therupon
the
duke
of
Buckynghm̄
first
made
humble
peticion
to
him
on
the
behalfe
of
theim
all
,
that
his
grace
would
pardone
theim
&
licence
theim
to
purpose
vnto
his
grace
th
entent
of
their
commyng
without
his
displeasure
,
without
whiche
pardone
obteined
,
thei
durst
not
bee
so
bold
to
moue
hym
of
that
matter
.
In
whiche
,
albeit
thei
meant
asmuche
honoure
to
his
grace
as
wealth
to
al
the
realme
beside
,
yet
were
thei
not
sure
howe
his
grace
would
take
it
,
whom
thei
would
in
no
wise
offende
.
Then
the
protectour
,
as
he
was
verie
gentle
of
hym self
&
also
longed
sore
apparauntly
to
knowe
what
thei
meant
,
gaue
him
leaue
to
purpose
what
hym
liked
trustyng
for
the
good
mind
that
he
bare
theim
all
none
of
theim
any
thing
would
entend
to
hymward
wherwith
he
thought
to
bee
greued
.
When
the
duke
had
this
leaue
&
pardon
to
speake
them
wexed
he
bold
to
shewe
hym
their
entent
&
purpose
,
with
all
the
causes
mouyng
theim
therto
as
ye
before
haue
hearde
.
And
finally
to
beseche
his
grace
the
it
would
like
him
of
his
accustomed
goodnes●e
&
zeale
vnto
the
realme
nowe
with
his
yie
of
pite
to
behold
the
long
continued
distresse
&
decaie
of
yesame
,
&
to
set
his
gracious
hand
to
redresse
&
amendement
therof
by
takyng
vpon
hym
the
croune
&
gouernaunce
of
the
realme
accordyng
to
his
right
&
title
laufully
discended
vnto
hym
,
&
to
the
laude
of
God
,
profite
&
surete
of
the
land
&
vnto
his
grace
so
much
the
more
honour
&
lesse
pain
,
in
that
that
neuer
prince
reigned
vpon
any
people
that
were
so
glad
to
liue
vnder
his
obeysaunce
as
the
people
of
this
realme
vnder
his
.
When
the
protectoure
had
hearde
the
preposicion
,
he
looked
very
strangely
thereat
and
made
aunswer
that
albeit
he
knewe
partely
the
thynges
by
theim
alledged
to
be
true
,
yet
suche
entiere
loue
he
bare
to
kyng
Edward
and
his
children
,
and
so
muche
more
regarded
his
honoure
in
other
realmes
aboute
,
then
the
croune
of
any
one
,
of
whiche
he
was
neuer
desyrous
,
so
that
he
could
not
fynde
in
his
hearte
in
this
poincte
to
incline
to
their
desyre
,
for
in
all
other
nacions
were
the
truthe
not
well
knowen
,
it
should
paraduenture
be
thought
that
it
were
his
owne
ambicious
mynde
and
deuice
to
depose
the
prince
and
to
take
hym self
the
croune
,
with
whiche
infamye
he
would
in
no
wise
haue
his
honoure
steyned
for
any
croune
,
in
whiche
he
had
neuer
perchaunce
perceaued
muche
more
laboure
&
pain
then
pleasure
to
hym
that
so
would
vse
it
,
as
he
that
would
not
and
were
not
worthy
to
haue
it
.
Notwithstandyg
,
he
not
only
perdoned
theim
the
mocion
that
thei
made
hym
,
but
also
thanked
theim
for
the
loue
and
hartie
fauoure
thei
bare
hym
,
praiyng
theim
for
his
sake
to
beare
the
same
to
the
prince
vnder
whome
he
was
and
would
bee
contente
to
liue
and
with
his
laboure
and
counsaill
as
ferre
as
it
should
like
the
kyng
to
vse
it
,
he
would
dooe
his
vttermost
deuoyre
to
sette
the
realme
in
good
estate
whiche
was
all
readye
in
the
tyme
of
his
protectourship
(
lauded
bee
God
,
)
well
begonne
,
in
that
the
malice
of
suche
as
were
before
the
occasion
of
the
contrarie
and
of
newe
entended
to
bee
,
were
nowe
partely
by
good
policie
,
partely
more
by
Goddes
specyall
prouydence
,
then
mannes
prouysion
repressed
and
put
vnder
.
Vpon
this
aunswer
geuen
,
the
duke
of
Buckyngham
by
the
protectoures
licence
a
lytle
rounded
,
aswell
with
other
noble
menne
about
hym
as
with
the
mayre
and
recorder
of
London
.
And
after
that
(
vpon
like
perdon
desyred
&
opteyned
)
he
shewed
alowde
vnto
the
protectour
,
for
a
fynall
conclusion
that
the
realme
was
apoynted
that
kyng
Edwardes
lyne
shoulde
no
lenger
reygne
vpon
theim
,
bothe
that
they
had
so
farre
gone
that
it
was
nowe
no
suretie
to
retreate
(
as
for
that
they
thought
it
for
the
weale
vnyuersall
to
take
that
waye
,
although
they
had
not
yet
begon
it
.
)
Wherfore
if
it
woulde
like
his
grace
to
take
the
croune
vpon
hym
,
they
would
humbly
beseche
hym
thervnto
,
and
if
he
woulde
geue
theim
a
resolute
aunswer
to
the
contrarye
(
whiche
they
would
bee
lothe
to
here
)
then
muste
they
seke
and
should
not
fayle
to
fynde
some
other
noble
man
that
would
.
These
woordes
muche
moued
the
protectoure
,
whiche
as
euery
manne
of
small
intelligence
maye
wyt
would
neuer
haue
enclyned
thereto
,
but
when
he
sawe
there
was
none
other
waye
but
that
he
muste
take
it
,
or
els
he
and
his
bothe
to
go
from
it
,
he
sayde
to
the
lordes
and
commons
,
sith
it
is
we
perceaue
well
that
all
the
realme
is
so
set
(
whereof
we
be
very
sory
)
that
they
wyll
not
suffre
in
any
wyse
kyng
Edwardes
lyne
to
gouerne
theim
,
whome
no
manne
earthly
can
gouerne
agaynste
their
owne
wylles
:
And
we
also
perceaue
that
no
manne
is
there
,
to
whome
the
croune
can
by
so
iuste
tytle
apperteyne
as
to
our selfe
,
as
very
right
heire
lawfully
begotten
of
the
body
of
our
moste
dread
and
dere
father
Rychard
late
duke
of
Yorke
,
to
which
title
is
now
ioyned
your
eleccion
,
the
nobles
&
commons
of
the
realme
,
whiche
we
of
all
tytles
possible
take
moste
effectuall
,
we
be
content
and
agree
fauourably
to
enclyne
to
your
peticion
&
request
,
and
accordyng
to
the
same
,
here
we
take
vpon
vs
the
royall
estate
of
prehemynence
and
kyngdome
of
the
two
noble
realmes
,
Englande
and
Fraunce
,
the
one
from
this
daye
forwarde
by

and
oure

gouerne

defende
,
the

by

aduauncement
wherof

neuer
as●e

lenger

we
entende

and
set

.
With
this
there
was
a
greate
crye
and
showte
,
criyng
kyng
Richard
,
and
so
the
lordes
went
vp
to
the
kyng
,
and
so
he
was
after
the
daye
called
.
But
the
people
departed
talkyng
dyuersly
of
the
matter
,
euery
manne
as
his
fantasie
gaue
hym
,
but
muche
thei
merueled
of
this
maner
of
dealyng
,
that
the
matter
was
on
bothe
partes
made
so
straunge
as
thoughe
neuer
the
one
parte
communed
with
the
other
parte
therof
before
,
when
they
wyst
that
there
was
no
man
so
dul
that
heard
theim
,
but
he
perceaued
well
ynoughe
that
all
the
matter
was
made
betwene
theim
:
Howbeit
,
some
excused
that
agayne
,
saiyng
:
all
thyng
muste
bee
done
in
good
ordre
,
and
men
must
sometyme
for
the
maner
sake
not
be
acknowen
what
thei
knowe
.
For
at
the
consecracion
of
a
byshop
,
euery
manne
perceaueth
by
payment
of
his
bulles
that
he
entendeth
to
bee
one
,
yet
when
he
is
twise
asked
whyther
he
wil
be
a
byshop
,
he
must
saye
naye
,
and
at
the
third
tyme
take
it
vpon
hym
as
compelled
therto
by
his
owne
wyll
.
And
in
a
stage
playe
,
the
people
knowe
right
well
that
he
that
playeth
the
sowdane
is
per
case
a
sowter
,
yet
yf
one
of
acquayntaunce
perchaunce
of
lytle
nurture
should
call
hym
by
his
name
while
he
standeth
in
his
maiestie
,
one
of
his
tourmentours
might
fortune
breake
his
hed
for
marryng
the
playe
.
And
so
they
sayde
,
these
matters
be
kynges
games
,
as
it
were
staige
playes
,
and
for
the
mooste
parte
played
vpon
scaffoldes
,
in
which
poore
men
be
but
lookers
on
,
and
they
that
wise
be
wyll
medle
no
ferther
,
for
they
the
steppe
vp
with
theim
when
they
can
not
playe
their
partes
they
disorder
the
playe
and
do
theim selues
no
good

well
ordred

and
that

And
thus
he
taught

iustice
&
equite
,
the
contrary
wherof

daylye
exercysed
,
he
also
with
greate
rewardes
geuen
to
the
Northrenmenne
whyche
he
sent
for
to
hys
coronation
,
sente
theim
home
to
theyre
country
wyth
greate
thanckes
.
Whereof
dyuerse
of
theim
,
(
as
they
all
be
of
nature
verye
gredye
of
authoryte
,
and
specyally
when
they
thynke
to
haue
any
conforte
or
fauoure
,
)
tooke
on
them
so
hyghly
and
wroughte
such
mastreis
,
that
the
kyng
was
fayne
to
ryde
thether
in
hys
fyrste
yere
,
and
to
put
some
in
execution
,
and
staye
the
countrye
,
or
elles
no
small
myschechefe
had
ensued
.
Nowe
after
thys
tryumphante
coronation
,
there
fell
myschiefes
thycke
&
thicke
,
as
the
thing
euell
gotten
is
neuer
well
kepte
,
so
through
al
the
tyme
of
hys
vsurped
reygne
,
neuer
ceased
theyre
quel
,
murder
,
death
&
slaughter
tyll
his
owne
destruccion
ended
it
.
But
as
he
fynished
with
the
best
deathe
and
mooste
ryghtwyse
,
that
is
to
saye
hys
owne
,
so
beganne
he
wyth
the
moost
pyteous
and
wycked
,
I
meane
the
lamentable
murther
of
his
innocente
nephewes
,
the
yonge
kynge
and
hys
tender
brother
,
whose
death
and
fortune
hath
neuerthelesse
so
farre
come
in
questyon
that
some
remayned
long
in
doubte
whether
they
were
in
his
dayes
destroyed
or
not
.
For
that
Parkin
Warbek
by
many
folkes
malyce
,
&
mo
folkes
folye
so
long
space
abusynge
the
worlde
,
was
aswell
with
prnceis
as
with
poore
people
reputed
&
taken
for
the
younger
of
these
two
.
But
for
that
also
that
all
thynges
were
so
couertly
demeaned
,
one
thynge
pretented
and
another
mente
,
that
there
was
nothynge
so
playne
and
openly
proued
,
but
that
yet
for
the
common
custome
of
close
and
couert
dealyng
,
men
had
it
euer
inwardly
suspect
,
as
many
well
countrefet
iewelles
make
the
true
mistrusted
.
Howbeit
concernyng
that
opinion
menne
maye
see
the
conueighaunce
therof
in
the
lyfe
of
the
noble
prynce
kyng
Henry
the
seuenth
,
in
the
processe
of
Parkyn
.
But
in
the
meane
ceason
,
for
this
present
matter
I
shall
reherse
to
you
the
dolorous
ende
of
these
two
babes
,
not
after
euery
way
that
I
haue
heard
but
after
that
waye
that
I
haue
so
heard
by
suche
menne
and
suche
meanes
as
me
thynketh
it
to
be
heard
but
it
should
be
true
.
Kyng
Rychard
after
his
coranacion
,
takynge
Howe
and
after
what
maner
the
two
sonnes
of
king
Edward
were
destroyed
.
his
waye
to
Gloucestre
,
to
visyte
in
his
newe
honoure
the
toune
,
of
whiche
he
bare
the
name
of
olde
,
deuysed
as
he
roade
to
fulfyll
that
thynge
which
he
before
had
intended
.
And
forasmuche
as
his
mynde
gaue
hym
that
his
nephewes
lyuyng
,
men
woulde
not
recon
that
he
coulde
haue
right
to
the
realme
,
he
thought
therfore
without
delaye
to
ryd
theim
,
as
though
the
kyllyng
of
his
kynsmen
might
ende
his
cause
,
and
make
hym
kyndely
kyng
.
Wherupon
he
sent
Iohn
Grene
,
whome
he
specially
trusted
,
to
syr
Roberte
Brakenburye
constable
of
the
towre
,
with
a
lettre
and
credence
also
,
that
the
same
Syr
Robert
in
any
wise
should
put
the
two
chyldren
to

This
Iohn
Grene
dyd

Syr
Robert
Brakenbury
knelyng
before
our

in
the
towre
,
who
playnelye
aunswered
that
he
would
neuer
put
theim
to

to
dye
therfore
.
With
the
whiche
aunswer
Grene
returned
,
recountyng
the
same
to
kynge
Rycharde
at
Warwike
yet
on
his
iourneye
,
wherewith
he
toke
suche
displeasure
&
thought
,
that
the

night
he
sayed
to
a
secrete

of

Ah

Then

&
called

secretely

,
in

Wherfore
on

he
sent

he
was
commaunded
to

At

Then

After

,
the

neuer

but
with

lyngered
in

and
heueuysse
,
till

For

Then

The

sodenly
lapped

&
so
bewrapped
theim
and
entangled

,
kepyng
downe
by
force
the

and
pyllowes
heard

,
that
within
awhile
thei
smored

styfled

,
and
their

faylyng
thei
gaue
vp
to
God
their

into
the

of

,
leauyng
to
the
tourmentoures
their
bodyes
dedde
in
the
bed
,
whiche
after
the
wretches
perceaued
,
first
by
that
strugglyng
,
with
the
panges
of
dea
the
,
&
after
long
liyng
still
to
be
throughly
dedde
,
thei
laied
the
bodyes
out
vpon
the
bed
,
and
fetched
Iames
Tirrell
to
se
theim
,
whiche
when
he
sawe
theim
perfightly
ded
,
he
caused
the
murtherers
to
burie
theim
at
the
stayre
foote
metely
depe
in
the
grounde
vnder
a
greate
heape
of
stones
.
Then
rode
Iames
Tirrell
in
great
hast
to
kyng
Rychard
and
shewed
hym
all
the
maner
of
the
murther
,
who
gaue
hym
greate
thankes
,
and
as
menne
saye
,
there
made
hym
knight
,
but
he
alowed
not
their
buriall
in
so
vyle
a
corner
,
saiyng
that
he
would
haue
theim
buryed
in
a
better
place
,
because
thei
were
a
kynges
soonnes
.
Lo
the
honourable
courage
of
a
kyng
,
for
he
would
recompence
a
detestable
murther
with
a
solempne
obsequy
.
Wherupon
a
preest
of
sir
Robert
Brakenburyes
tooke
theim
vp
and
buried
theim
in
suche
a
place
secretly
as
by
the
occasion
of
his
death
(
whiche
was
verie
shortlye
after
)
whiche
onely
knewe
it
,
the
very
truthe
could
neuer
yet
bee
very
well
&
perfighly
knowen
For
some
saie
that
kyng
Rychard
caused
that
preest
to
take
theim
vp
&
close
theim
in
lead
&
put
theim
in
a
coffine
full
of
holes
hoked
at
the
endes
with
.ii.
hokes
of
yron
,
&
so
to
caste
them
into
a
place
called
the
Blacke
depes
at
the
thamis
mouth
,
so
that
thei
shuld
neuer
rise
vp
nor
bee
seen
again
.
This
was
the
very
truth
vnknowen
by
reason
that
the
said
preste
dyed
so
shortly
&
disclosed
it
neuer
to
any
persone
the
would
vtter
it
.
And
for
a
truthe
,
when
sir
Iames
Tirrell
was
in
the
towre
for
treason
committed
to
kyng
Henry
the
seuenth
:
bothe
he
and
Dighton
were
examined
together
of
this
poynte
,
&
bothe
thei
confessed
the
murther
to
bee
dooen
in
the
same
maner
as
you
haue
hearde
,
whether
the
bodies
were

And
thus
as
I
haue
learned
of
theim
that
muche
knewe
and
litle
cause
had
to
lye
,
wer
these

noble

these

borne
of

&
brought
vp
in
great

,
likely
longe
to
liue
,
to
reigne
&
rule
in
that
realme
,
by
treyterous
tiranny
taken
&
depriued
of
their
estate
,
shortly
shut
vp
in
prison
&
priuely
slain
&
murderd
by
the
cruell
ambicion
of
their
vnnaturall
vncle
&
dispiteous
tourmentours
whiche
thynges
on
euery
part
well
pondered
,
God
gaue
this
worlde
neuer
a
more
notable
exsample
,
either
in
what
vnsurety
standeth
this
worldes
weale
or
what
mischief
worketh
the
proud
entreprise
of
an
high
hearte
,
or
finally
what
wretched
ende
ensueth
suche
dispiteous
crueltie
?
For
first
to
begynne
with
the
ministres
,
Miles
Forest
,
at
s.
Martines
le
graund
by
peace
meale
miserablye
rotted
awaye
,
Ihon
Dighton
liued
at
Caleys
long
after
,
no
lesse
disdeined
&
hated
then
poynted
at
,
&
there
dyed
in
great
misery
.
But
sir
Iames
Tirrell
was
behedded
at
the
towre
hill
for
treason
.
And
kyng
Richard
hymself
was
slain
in
the
feelde
hacked
and
hewed
of
his
enemies
handes
,
haried
on
a
horsbacke
naked
beyng
ded
,
his
heare
in
dispite
torne
&
tugged
like
a
curre
dogge
.
And
the
mischeif
that
he
toke
with
in
lesse
then
thre
yeres
,
of
the
mischief
that
he
did
in
thre
monethes
be
not
comperable
,
&
yet
all
the
meane
tyme
spent
in
much
trouble
&
pein
outward
,
&
much
feare
dread
&
anguish
with
in
.
For
I
haue
heard
by
credible
persons
of
suche
as
were
secret
with
his
chaumberers
that
after
this
abhominable
dede
dooen
he
neuer
was
quiet
in
his
minde
,
he
neuer
thought
hymself
sure
where
he
went
abrode
,
his
bodie
preuely
feinted
,
his
eyen
wherled
about
,
his
hand
euer
on
his
dagger
his
countenaunce
&
maner
like
alwayes
to
stryke
again
,
he
toke
eiuill
rest
on
nightes
,
laye
long
wakyng
&
musyng
,
forweried
with
care
&
watche
,
rather
slombred
than
slept
,
troubled
with
fearfull
dreames
sodeinly
some
tyme
stert
vp
,
leapt
out
of
his
bed
&
and
looked
aboute
the
chambres
,
so
was
his
restlesse
hearte
contynually
tossed
and
tou
〈…〉
bled
with
the
tedious
inpression
&
stormy
remembraunce
of
his
abhomynable
murther
and
exreable
tirannie
.
And
shortely
after
he
was
vnquieted
by
a
conspiracie
,
or
rather
a
confederacie
betwene
the
duke
of
Buckynghm̄
&
many
other
gentlemen
against
hym
,
as
ye
shall
here
the
next
yere
.
But
the
occasion
why
the
duke
and
the
kyng
fell
oute
,
is
of
dyuerse
folke
dyuerse
wyse
pretended
.
This
duke
as
you
haue
hearde
before
,
assone
as
the
duke
of
Gloucester
after
the
death
of
kyng
Edward
was
come
to
Yorke
,
&
there
had
solempne
funerall
seruice
dooen
for
kyng
Edward
,
sent
to
hym
a
secrete
seruaunt
of
his
called
Persall
,
with
suche
messages
as
you
haue
hearde
before
.
And
after
the
duke
of
Buckyngham
came
with
thre
hundred
horsse
to
Northampton
and
still
continued
with
hym
,
as
partener
and
chief
organe
of
all
his
deuices
till
after
his
coronacion
,
thei
departed
to
all
semyng
verye
frendes
at
Gloucestre
.
From
whence
assone
as
the
duke
came
home
,
he
so
highly
turned
from
hym
and
so
highly
conspired
against
hym
,
that
a
manne
would
meruell
wherof
the
chaunge
grewe
in
so
shorte
space
.
Some
saie
this
occasyon
was
,
that
a
litle
before
that
coronacion
,
the
duke
required
the
kyng
emongest
other
thrnges
to
bee
restored
to
the
Erle
of
Herffordes
lāoes
.
And
forasmuche
as
the
title
whiche
he
claymed
by
inherytaunce
,
was
somewhat
interlaced
with
the
title
of
Lancaster
,
whiche
house
made
a
title
to
the
croune
,
and
enioyed
the
same
three
dyscentes
,
as
all
menne
knewe
,
till
the
house
of
Yorke
depryued
the
third
kyng
,
whiche
was
Henry
the
sixte
.
Kyng
Rychard
somewhat
mistrusted
&
conceaued
suche
an
indignacion
that
he
reiected
the
dukes
request
,
with
many
spitefull
and
minotary
woordes
,
whiche
so
wounded
the
dukes
hearte
with
hatred
and
mistrust
,
that
he
could
neuer
after
endure
to
looke
ryght
on
kyng
Rychard
,
but
euer
feared
his
owne
lyfe
,
so
farrefoorth
that
when
the
protectoure
should
ryde
to
his
coronacion
,
feigned
hymselfe
sycke
,
because
he
would
dooe
hym
no
honoure
.
And
the
other
takyng
it
in
euell
parte
sente
hym
woorde
to
ryse
and
ryde
or
he
would
make
hym
to
be
caryed
.
Wherupon
gorgeously
apparelled
and
sumpteously
trapped
with
burnyng
carte
naues
of
golde
embrodered
,
he
roade
before
the
kyng
through
London
with
an
euell
wyll
and
woorsse
heart
.
And
that
notwithstandyng
,
he
roase
the
daye
of
the
coronacion
from
the
feaste
,
feignyng
hym selfe
sycke
,
whiche
kyng
Richarde
sayde
was
dooen
in
hate
and
spight
of
hym
.
And
therfore
men
sayd
that
eche
of
theim
euer
after
lyued
contynually
in
suche
hatred
and
dystrust
of
other
,
that
the
duke
looked
verelye
to
haue
bene
murthered
at
Gloucestre
,
from
whiche
he
in
fayre
maner
departed
but
surely
suche
as
were
right
secrete
with
bothe
,
affyrme
all
this
to
be
vntrue
,
and
other
wyse
menne
thynke
it
vnlykely
,
the
depe
dyssymulyng
nature
of
bothe
these
menne
well
consydered
.
And
what
nede
in
that
grene
world
the
protectoure
hadde
of
the
duke
,
and
in
what
perell
the
duke
stoode
yf
he
fell
once
in
suspycion
of
that
tyraunte
,
that
other
the
protectoure
would
geue
the
duke
occasyon
of
dyspleasure
,
or
the
duke
the
protectoure
occasyon
of
mystrust
.
And
surely
menne
thynke
,
that
if
kyng
Rychard
hadde
any
suche
opynyon
conceaued
in
hym
,
he
would
neuer
haue
suffred
hym
to
aduoyd
his
handes
or
escape
his
power
,
but
verye
true
it
is
,
that
the
duke
of
Buckyngham
was
an
high
mynded
man
,
&
euell
could
beare
the
glorye
of
another
,
so
that
I
haue
hearde
of
some
that
sawe
it
that
he
at
suche
tyme
that
the
croune
was
set
vpon
the
protectoures
hedde
,
his
yie
could
neuer
abyde
the
sight
therof
,
but
wryed
his
hed
another
waye
,
but
men
sayde
he
was
not
well
at
ease
,
and
that
was
both
to
kyng
Richard
well
knowen
and
well
taken
nor
any
demaunde
of
the
dukes
request
vncurteously
reiected
,
but
gentelye
deferred
,
but
bothe
he
with
greate
giftes
and
high
behestes
in
moste
louyng
and
trustie
maner
departed
from
the
kyng
to
Gloucester
.
But
sone
after
his
commyng
home
to
Brecknocke
,
hauyng
there
by
kyng
Richardes
commaundement
doctour
Moorton
byshop
of
Ely
who
before
as
you
haue
hearde
was
taken
at
the
councell
at
the
towre
,
waxed
with
hym
very
famylyer
,
whose
onlye
wysedome
abused
his
pryde
to
his
owne
delyueraunce
&
the
dukes
dystruccion
.
The
byshop
was
a
man
of
great
natural
wyt
,
verye
well
learned
and
of
honourable
behaueoure
,
lackyng
no
wyse
wayes
to
wynne
fauour
.
He
was
fyrst
vpon
the
parte
of
kyng
Henry
,
whyle
that
parte
was
in
wealth
,
and
neyther
left
it
nor
forsoke
it
in
no
woo
,
but
fled
the
realme
with
the
quene
and
the
prince
.
And
while
kyng
Edward
had
kyng
Henry
in
pryson
,
he
neuer
retourned
but
to
the
felde
at
Barner
.
After
whiche
felde
loste
&
vtterly
subdued
&
al
parte
takynges
extynguished
,
kyng
Edward
for
his
fast
faythe
and
wysedome
,
was
not
onelye
content
to
receaue
hym
but
also
wooed
hym
to
come
and
had
hym
from
thensforth
both
in
secrete
trust
&
specyall
fauoure
,
whom
he
nothyng
deceaued
.
For
he
beyng
after
kyng
Edwardes
death
fyrst
taken
by
the
tyraunt
for
his
truthe
to
the
kynge
,
founde
meane
to
sette
the
duke
in
his
toppe
,
and
ioyned
gentlemen
together
in
ayde
of
the
erle
of
Richemounde
,
whiche
after
was
named
kyng
Henrye
the
seuenth
.
Fyrst
deuysyng
the
maryage
betwene
the
ladye
Elizabeth
daughter
to
kynge
Edwarde
the
fourthe
,
by
the
whiche
,
his
faythfull
&
true
seruyce
declared
to
both
his
masters
at
once
,
was
,
with
infinite
benefite
to
the
realme
,
by
the
coniunccion
of
the
bloddes
of
Lancastre
and
Yorke
,
whose
funerall
tytles
had
longe
inquyeted
the
realme
.
This
manne
afterwarde
escaped
from
the
duke
and
〈…〉
d
the
realme
,
and
went
to
Rome
,
neuer
myndyng
to
medle
with
the
worlde
,
tyl
kyng
henry
the
seuenth
sent
for
hym
,
and
after
made
hym
archebyshop
of
Cauntorbury
and
chauncelour
of
Englande
and
after
was
made
cardinall
,
and
lyued
well
to
all
mennes
iudgementes
and
dyed
well
.
But
to
retourne
to
the
former
purpose
,
he
by
the
long
&
often
alternate
proffe
,
aswel
of
prosperytee
as
aduerse
of
fortune
,
had
gotten
by
great
experience
the
verey
mother
&
mastresse
of
wysedome
,
a
depe
insight
in
pollytike
worldlye
driftes
,
whereby
perceauynge
nowe
the
duke
to
commen
with
hym
,
fed
hym
with
fayre
woordes
and
many
pleasaunt
prayses
,
and
perceauyng
by
the
grefe
of
their
communicacions
the
dukes
pryde
nowe
and
then
to
balke
oute
a
lytle
brayde
of
enuye
towarde
the
glorye
of
the
kynge
,
and
thereby
feelynge
hym
easye
to
fall
oute
yf
the
matter
were
well
handled
,
he
craftely
soughte
the
wayes
to
prycke
hym
forwarde
,
takynge
alwayes
the
occasyon
of
hys
commynge
,
and
also
keepynge
hymselfe
cloose
wythin
hys
bandes
,
that
he
rather
semed
to
folowe
hym
then
to
leade
hym
.
For
when
the
duke
beganne
fyrste
to
prayse
and
boaste
the
kyng
and
shewe
how
muche
profite
the
realme
should
take
by
his
reigne
.
Byshoppe
Morton
aunswered
,
surely
my
lorde
,
folye
it
were
for
me
to
lye
,
for
I
am
sure
yf
I
woulde
swere
the
contrarye
ye
would
not
once
beleue
me
,
but
yf
the
worlde
would
haue
begone
as
I
would
haue
wyshed
,
that
kyng
Henryes
soonne
had
had
the
croune
and
not
kynge
Edwarde
,
then
woulde
I
haue
bene
his
true
and
faythfull
subiecte
,
but
after
that
God
had
ordeyned
hym
to
lose
it
,
and
kyng
Edwarde
to
reigne
,
I
was
neuer
so
madde
with
a
dead
manne
to
stryue
agaynst
the
quycke
,
so
was
I
euer
to
kynge
Edwarde
a
faythfull
and
true
chapeleyn
,
and
gladde
would
haue
bene
that
his
chyldren
shoulde
haue
succeded
hym
,
howbeit
yf
the
secrete
iudgemente
of
God
haue
otherwyse
prouyded
,
I
purpose
not
to
spurne
agaynste
the
prycke
,
nor
laboure
to
set
vp
that
God
pulleth
downe
.
And
as
for
the
late
protectoure
and
nowe
kyng
,
and
with
that
woorde
he
left
,
sauynge
that
he
saide
that
he
hadde
alreadye
medled
to
muche
with
the
worlde
,
and
would
from
that
daye
medle
with
his
booke
and
bedes
,
and
no
ferther
.
Then
longed
the
duke
sore
to
heare
what
he
woulde
haue
sayde
,
because
he
ended
with
the
kynge
,
and
there
so
sodeynlye
stopped
,
and
exhorted
hym
famylyerly
,
betwene
theim
bothe
to
bee
bolde
and
to
saye
whatsoeuer
he
thought
,
whereof
he
faythfullye
promysed
there
shoulde
neuer
come
hurte
,
and
paraduenture
more
good
then
he
woulde
were
.
And
that
he
hym selfe
entended
to
vse
hys
faythfull
secrete
aduyce
and
counsayle
,
which
he
sayed
was
the
onlye
cause
for
the
whyche
he
procured
of
the
kynge
to
haue
hym
in
hys
custodye
,
where
he
myghte
recon
hym selfe
at
home
,
or
elles
he
hadde
bene
putte
in
the
handes
of
theim
wyth
whome
he
shoulde
not
haue
founde
lyke
fauoure
.
The
bishoppe
right
humblye
thanked
hym
and
sayed
,
in
good
faythe
my
lorde
,
I
loue
not
muche
to
talke
of
prynces
as
of
a
thynge
not
all
oute
of
perell
,
althoughe
the
woorde
bee
without
faute
,
but
as
it
pleaseth
the
prince
to
construe
it
.
And
euer
I
thynke
on
Isopes
tale
,
that
when
the
Lyon
had
proclaymed
that
on
payne
of
deathe
there
shoulde
no
horned
beastes
come
into
the
wood
,
one
beaste
that
had
a
bonche
of
fleshe
growing
oute
of
his
hedde
,
fledde
a
greate
pace
:
the
Foxe
that
sawe
hym
flye
with
all
the
haste
,
asked
hym
whether
he
fledde
?
In
fayth
ꝙ
he
,
I
neither
wote
ne
recke
so
I
were
once
hence
,
because
of
the
proclamacyon
made
agaynste
horned
beastes
.
What
foole
ꝙ
the
foxe
,
the
Lyon
neuer
ment
it
by
the
,
for
that
whiche
thou
haste
is
no
horne
in
thy
hedde
.
No
mary
ꝙ
he
,
I
wote
that
well
ynoughe
,
but
yf
he
saye
it
is
a
horne
,
where
am
I
then
?
The
duke
laughed
merely
at
the
tale
&
saied
,
my
lorde
I
warraunte
you
,
neither
the
Lyon
nor
the
bore
shall
pycke
any
matter
at
any
thyng
here
spoken
,
for
it
shall
neuer
come
nere
their
cares
.
In
good
faythe
syr
saied
the
Byshoppe
,
yf
it
dyd
,
the
thyng
that
I
was
aboute
to
saye
taken
aswell
as
before
God
I
mente
,
it
coulde
deserue
but
thanke
,
and
yet
taken
as
I
wene
it
would
,
myghte
happen
to
turne
me
to
lytle
good
and
you
to
lesse
.
Then
longed
the
duke
muche
more
to
were
what
it
was
,
wherupon
the
byshop
saied
.
In
good
faith
my
lord
,
as
for
the
late
protectoure
,
●ith
he
is
now
kyng
in
possessyon
I
purpose
not
to
dispute
his
title
,
but
for
the
welthe
of
this
realme
,
whereof
his
grace
hathe
nowe
the
gouernaunce
,
and
wherof
I
my selfe
am
a
poore
membre
,
I
was
aboute
to
wysh
that
to
those
good
habilitees
wherof
he
hath
already
righte
many
,
litle
nedyng
my
prayse
,
yet
mighte
it
haue
pleased
God
for
the
better
store
to
haue
geuen
hym
some
of
suche
other
excellent
vertues
mete
for
the
rule
of

Lord
hath

,
&
there
lefte
of

.
Of
whiche
woordes
the
duke
perceauyng
that
the
byshop
bare
vnto
hym
his
good
hearte
and
fauoure
,
mystrusted
not
to
entre
more
plaine
communicacion
with

,
so
farre
,
that
at
the
laste
the
byshoppe
declared
hym selfe
to
bee
one
of
theim
that
would
gladly
helpe
that
Richard
who
then
vsurped
the
croune
mighte
bee
deposed
,
if
he
had
knowen
howe

myghte
conuenientely

the
suche
a
persone
as
had
true
title
of
inheritaunce
vnto
the

might
bee
restored
therunto
.
Vpon
this
the
saied
duke
,
knowing
the
bishoppe
to
bee
a
manne
of
prudence
and
fidelitee
opened
to
hym
all
his
whole
hart
and
entent
saying
,
my
lorde
I
haue
deuised
the
waye
howe
the
bloodde
both
of
kyng
Edward
and
of
kyng
Henry
the
syxte
,
that
is
lefte
,
beyng
coupled
by
maryage
and
affinitee
maye
bee
restored
vnto
the
croune
being
by
iuste
and
true
title
due
vnto
theim
both
,
(
for
kyng
Richard
he
called
not
the
brother
of
kyng
Edwarde
the
fourth
,
but
his
enemye
and
mortall
fooe
)
.
The
waye
that
the
Duke
had
deuysed
was
this
,
that
they
shoulde
with
all
spede
and
celerytee
fynde
meanes
to
sende
for
Henry
earle
of
Rich
mounte
(
whome
the
rumoure
wente
immediatlye
vpon
knowledge
of
kynge
Edwardes
deathe
to
haue
bene
deliuered
oute
of
prysone
with
Fraunces
Duke
of
Brytaine
)
&
the
same
Henry
to
helpe
with
all
their
power
and
strength
,
so
that
the
saied
Henry
woulde
fyrste
by
his
feithfull
othe
,
promise
that
ymmediatly
vpon
obteigning
the
croune
,
he
woulde
mary
and
take
to
wyfe
Elyzabeth
the
elder
doughter
of
Edward
the
fourth
.
The
byshop
of
Ely
ryghte
well
alowed
bothe
the
deuyce
and
purpose
of
the
duke
,
and
also
the
maner
and
waye
howe
the
matter
shoulde
bee
broughte
to
effecte
,
and
founde
meanes
that
Reynold
Breye
seruaūr
with
Margarete
mother
of
the
saied
Henry
,
then
maried
to
Thomas
Stanley
,
came
to
the
duke
in
to
Wales
,
and
the
dukes
mynde
throughlye
perceaued
and
knowen
,
with
greate
spede
retourned
to
the
saied
Margarete
,
aduertisyng
the
same
of
all
thinges
which
betwene
the
duke
and
hym
concerning
aswell
the
common
weale
of
the
realme
,
as
also
the
aduauncemente
of
her
and
her
bloodde
had
been
debated
.
Nowe
it
came
so
to
passe
that
the
duke
of
Buckyngham
and
the
ladye
Margaret
mother
to
the
saied
Henrye
,
had
bene
in
communicacyon
of
the
same
matter
before
,
and
that
the
saied
lady
Margarete
had
deuised
the
same
meane
and
waye
for
the
deposycion
of
kynge
Rycharde
and
bringyng
in
of
Henry
her
sonne
,
the
whiche
the
Duke
nowe
brake
vnto
the
byshop
of
Ely
,
wherupon
the●e
rested
no
more
,
forasmuche
as
she
perceaued
the
duke
nowe
willyng
to
prosecute
and
further
the
sayed
deuice
,
but
that
she
should
fynde
the
meanes
that
this
matter
myghte
bee
broken
vnto
Quene
Elizabeth
the
wyfe
of
kyng
Edwade
the
fourthe
then
beynge
in
the
Sanctuarye
.
And
hereupon
she
caused
one
Lewes
that
was
her
physicyan
in
his
owne
name
,
and
as
thoughe
it
came
of
hym selfe
to
breake
this
matter
vnto
the
quene
,
saying
,
that
yf
she
would
consent
and
agree
therunto
,
a
meane
might
bee
founde
howe
to
restore
agayne
the
blood
of
kyng
Edwarde
and
kyng
Henrye
the
syxte
vnto
the
croune
,
and
to
bee
aduenged
of
kynge
Rycharde
for
the
murther
of
kyng
Edwardes
chyldren
,
and
then
declared
that
there
was
beyonde
that
see
Henry
Earle
of
Richemounte
,
whiche
was
of
the
blood
of
Henry
the
sixte
,
whome
yf
she
woulde
be
content
that
he
marye
Elizabeth
her
eldest
doughter
,
there
shoulde
of
his
syde
bee
made
righte
many
frendes
,
and
she
for
her
parte
myghte
helpe
in
lyke
maner
,
wherby
no
doubte
it
shoulde
come
to
passe
that
he
shoulde
possesse
the
croune
by
moost
rightfull
inheritaunce
.
Whiche
matter
when
she
heard
it
,
it
liked
her
excedingly
well
,
in
so
much
as
she
counceled
the
saied
phisicyan
to
breake
the
same
vnto
his
maistresse
the
ladye
Margaret
&
knowe
her
mynde
therein
,
promisyng
vpon
her
woorde
that
she
would
make
all
the
frendes
of
kyng
Edwarde
to
take
parte
with
the
sayed
Henrye
yf
he
woulde
be
sworne
that
when
he
came
to
the
possessyon
of
the
croune
,
he
woulde
immediately
take
in
maryage
Elyzabeth
her
eldest
doughter
,
or
elles
yf
she
lyued
not
that
tyme
,
that
then
he
would
take
Cicile
her
yongest
doughter
Whereupon
the
sayde
Lewes
retourned
vnto
the
ladye
Margarete
hys
maystresse
declarynge
vnto
her
the
whole
mynd
and
entent
of
the
quene
So
that
then
it
was
shortly
agreed
betwene
these
two
wemen
,
that
wyth
al
spede
thys
matter
shold
be
set
forwarde
,
in
so
much
that
the
lady
Margarete
brake
thys
matter
vnto
Reynolde
Bray
wyllynge
hym
to
moue
and
set
forwarde
the
same
with
all
suche
as
he
shoulde
perceaue
eyther
hable
to
doo
good
or
wyllynge
thereunto
.
Then
had
the
quene
deuysed
,
that
one
Chrystopher
(
whome
the
foresayde
Lewes
the
Physicyan
had
promoted
into
her
seruyce
)
shoulde
bee
sente
into
Brytayne
to
Henrye
to
geue
hym
knowledge
of
theyr
myndes
here
,
and
that
he
shoulde
prepare
and
apoynt
hym selfe
redye
and
to
come
into
Wales
,
where
he
shoulde
fynde
ayde
and
helpe
ynonghe
readye
to
receaue
hym
.
But
then
shortly
after
yt
came
vnto
her
knowledge
that
the
Duke
of
Buckingham
had
of
himselfe
afore
entended
the
same
matter
,
whereupon
she
thoughte
yt
should
be
mete
to
sende
some
messenger
of
more
reputacyon
and
credyte
then
was
thys
Chrystopher
,
and
so
kepte
hym
at
home
,
and
then
sente
Hughe
Conewaye
wyth
a
greate
some
of
monye
,
wyllynge
hym
to
declare
vnto
Henrye
all
thynges
,
and
that
he
should
hast
hym
to
come
and
to
lande
in
Wales
as
is
aforesayde
.
And
after
hym
one
Rycharde
Guilforde
oute
of
Kente
sente
one
Thomas
Ramey
wyth
the
same
message
,
the
whyche
two
messengers
came
in
maner
bothe
at
one
tyme
into
Brytayn
to
the
Earle
Henrye
,
and
declared
vnto
hym
all
theyr
commyssions
The
whiche
message
when
Henry
had
perceaued
and
throughly
heard
,
it
reioysed
his
harte
,
and
he
gaue
thankes
vnto
God
fully
purposyng
with
al
conuenyente
spede
to
take
his
iourney
towardes
England
,
desiryng
the
aide
and
helpe
of
the
duke
of
Brytayne
,
with
promise
of
thanckfull
recompence
when
God
should
sende
hym
to
come
to
his
ryghte
.
The
duke
of
Britayne
notwithstanding
that
he
had
not
longe
after
been
required
by
Thomas
Hutton
purposely
sent
to
hym
from
kyng
Richard
in
message
with
monye
efte
sones
to
imprisone
the
saied
Henry
erle
of
Richemount
,
and
there
continually
to
kepe
and
holde
the
same
frome
comminge
into
Englande
,
yet
with
all
gladnesse
and
fauoure
inclined
to
the
desyre
of
Henry
and
aided
hym
as
he
might
with
menne
,
monye
,
shypes
and
other
necessaryes
.
But
Henry
whyle
he
might
accordynglye
appoynte
and
furnyshe
hym selfe
,
remayned
in
Brytayne
sendyng
afore
the
foresayde
Hughe
Coneway
and
Thomas
Ramney
,
whiche
two
were
to
hym
very
trewe
and
faithful
to
beare
tidynges
into
Englande
vnto
his
frendes
of
his
commynge
,
to
the
ende
that
they
myghte
prouydentlye
ordre
all
thynges
aswell
for
the
commodyous
receauynge
of
hym
at
his
comminge
,
as
also
foreseynge
suche
daungers
as
myghte
befalle
,
and
aduoydinge
suche
trappes
and
snares
as
by
Rycharde
the
thyrde
and
hys
complyces
myght
bee
sette
for
hym
and
for
all
his
other
company
that
he
should
bryng
with
hym
.
In
the
meane
tyme
,
the
frendes
of
Henrye
with
all
care
,
studye
,
and
dilygence
wroughte
all
thynges
vnto
their
purpose
belongynge
.
And
thoughe
all
this
were
as
secretlye
wrought
and
conueyed
as
emonge
so
greate
a
nombre
was
possible
to
be
,
yet
pryuye
knowledge
therof
came
to
the
eares
of
kyng
Rychard
,
who
althoughe
he
were
at
the
firste
hearynge
muche
abasshed
,
yet
thought
best
to
dyssemble
the
matter
as
thoughe
he
had
no
knowledge
therof
,
whyle
he
myghte
secretly
gather
vnto
hym
power
and
strengthe
,
and
by
secrete
spyall
emonge
the
people
get
more
perfyght
knowledge
of
the
whole
matters
and
chiefe
autoures
&
contryuers
of
the
same
.
And
because
he
knewe
be
chiefe
&
princypal
of
theim
,
as
vnto
whom
his
owne
conscience
knewe
that
he
hadde
geuen
moste
iust
causes
of
enemytee
,
he
thought
it
necessary
first
of
all
to
dyspatche
the
same
duke
oute
of
the
waye
.
Wherfore
,
vnto
the
duke
he
addressed
letters
enfarced
and
replenyshed
with
all
humanytee
,
frendshippe
,
famylyaritee
and
swetenesse
of
woordes
,
wyllyng
and
desyryng
the
same
to
come
vnto
hym
with
all
conuenyent
spede
.
And
ferther
gaue
in
commaundemente
to
the
messenger
that
caryed
the
letters
that
he
shoulde
in
his
behalfe
make
many
high
and
gaye
promyses
vnto
the
duke
&
by
all
gentle
meanes
persuade
the
same
to
come
vnto
hym
.
But
the
duke
mystrustyng
the
fayre
woordes
&
promyses
so
sodenly
offred
of
hym
,
of
whose
wylye
craftes
and
meanes
he
knewe
sondrye
exsamples
afore
practised
,
desyred
the
kynges
perdon
,
excusyng
him self
that
he
was
deseased
&
sicke
,
and
that
he
might
be
asserteined
the
if
it
possyble
wer
for
hym
to
come
,
he
would
not
absent
hym self
from
his
grace
.
Thys
excuse
the
kyng
would
not
admitte
,
but
eftsones
directed
vnto
the
duke
other
letters
of
a
more
roughe
sorte
,
not
wythoute
manacynge
and
threatenynge
onlesse
he
woulde
accordynge
to
hys
dutye
repayer
vnto
hym
at
hys
callynge
whereunto
the
duke
plainely
made
aunswer
that
he
woulde
not
come
vnto
him
whom
he
knewe
to
be
hys
enemye
.
And
immedyatelye
the
duke
prepared
hym selfe
to
make
warre
agaynst
hym
,
and
perswaded
all
hys
complyces
and
partakers
of
hys
intente
wyth
all
possyble
expedycion
some
in
one
place
and
some
in
another
to
sturre
agaynste
kynge
Rycharde
.
And
by
thys
meanes
in
maner
at
one
tyme
and
houre
,
Thomas
Marques
of
Dorcester
reysed
an
armye
wythin
the
country
of
Yorke
,
beyng
hym selfe
late
come
forthe
of
sanctuarye
and
by
the
meanes
and
helpe
of
Thomas
Rowell
preserued
and
saued
frome
perel
of
death
Also
in
Deuonshyre
,
Edwarde
Courtenay
wyth
hys
brother
Peter
byshoppe
of
Excetter
reysed
in
lyke
maner
an

,
and
in
Kent
Rychard
Guyl
ford
accompanied
wyth
certayn
other
gentylmen
caysed
vp
the
people
as
is
a
foresayde
,
&
all
thys
was
done
in
maner
in
one
moment
.
But
the
king
who
had
in
the
meane
tyme
gathered
together
gret
power
&
strength
thynkyng
yt
not
to
be
best
by
pursuyng
euery
one
of
hys
enemyes
to
dysparkle
hys
compaygnie
in
smal
flokes
,
determyned
to
let
passe
all
the
others
,
&
withal
his
whole
puisaunce
to
set
vpon
the
chiefe
heade
,
that
is
to
saye
the
Duke
of
Buckynghm̄
,
so
takyng
his
iourneye
from
London
he
went
towardes
Salisbury
to
th
entent
that
he
might
sette
vpon
the
said
duke
in
case
he
might
haue
perfight
knowledge
that
the
same
laye
in
any
felde
embatailed
.
And
nowe
was
the
kyng
within
twoo
dayes
iourney
of
Salisbury
when
the
duke
attempted
to
mete
hym
,
beyng
accompaignied
with
great
strength
of
Welshmen
,
whom
he
had
therunto
enforced
&
coherted
,
more
by
lordly
commaundement
then
by
lyberall
wages
and
hyre
,
whiche
thyng
in
deede
was
the
cause
that
thei
fell
from
hym
and
forsooke
hym
.
Wherfore
beyng
sodenly
forsaken
of
his
menne
,
he
was
of
necessite
constrained
to
flee
in
whiche
dooyng
,
as
a
manne
cast
in
sodeine
,
and
therfore
greate
feare
,
of
this
the
sodeine
chaunge
of
fortune
,
&
by
reason
of
the
same
feare
,
not
knowyng
where
to
become
,
nor
where
to
hyde
his
hed
nor
what
in
suche
case
best
to
dooe
,
he
secretly
conueighed
hym self
into
the
hous
of
Homffraye
Banastar
,
in
whom
he
had
conceaued
a
sure
hope
and
confidence
to
finde
faithfull
and
trustie
vnto
hym
because
the
same
had
been
&
then
was
his
seruaunt
,
entendyng
there
to
remayne
in
secrete
,
vntill
he
might
either
reise
a
newe
armie
or
els
by
some
meanes
conueigh
hym self
into
Brytein
to
Henry
erle
of

.
But
assone
as
theothers
whiche
had
attempted
the
same
entrepryse
against
the
kyng
had
knowledge
that
the
duke
was
forsaken
of
his

and
fled
and
could
not

thei

made

Furthermore

newely
retourned
oute
of
Britein
,
of

but
also
was

with

,
money
and
shippes
in

he
sette

sondry
shippes
in

,
that

he
might

or

And

wayte
and
watche
to
take
partely
any
other
of
his
enemies
,
and
specially
the
said
duke
of
Buckynghm̄
.
Wherupon
the
said
Homffrey
Banaster
(
were
it
for
mede
or
for
losyng
his
life
and
goodes
,
)
disclosed

hym
vnto
the
kynges
inquysy●ours
,
who
ymediatly
tooke
hym
and
foorthwith
all
,
brought
hym
to
Salisbury
where
kyng
Rychard
was
.
The
duke
beyng
dylygently
examined
vttred
without
any
maner
refusall
or
styckyng
all
suche
thynges
as
he
knewe
,
trustyng
that
for
his
plain
confession
he
should
haue
lybertee
to
speake
with
the
kyng
,
whiche
he
made
moste
instaunt
and
humble
peticion
that
he
might
dooe
.
But
assone
as
he
had
confessed
his
offence
towardes
kyng
Rychard
,
he
was
oute
of
hande
behedded
.
And
this
death
the
duke
receaued
at
the
handes
of
kyng
Rychard
whom
he
had
before
holpen
in
his
affayrs
and
purposes
beyonde
all
Gods
forbode
.
Whyle
these
thynges
wer
in
hand
in
England
Henry
Erle
of
Richmount
made
readye
his
hoste
and
strength
to
the
nombre
of
fiue
thousand
Brytones
and
fiftene
shippes
,
the
daye
apoynted
of
his
departure
beyng
nowe
come
,
whiche
was
the
twelfe
daye
of
the
moneth
of
Octobre
in
the
yere
of
our
lorde
God
a
thousand
foure
hundred
.lxxxiiii.
and
the
seconde
yere
of
the
reigne
of
kyng
Richard
and
hauyng
a
fayre
wynde
,
hoysed
vp
the
sayles
&
setforwarde
,
but
towarde
the
night
came
suche
a
tempest
that
thei
were
dispersed
one
from
another
some
into
Britain
and
some
into
Normandy
.
But
the
ship
in
whiche
Henry
was
with
one
other
ship
;
tossed
all
the
night
with
the
waues
of
the
sea
and
tempest
,
when
the
mornyng
came
,
it
waxed
somewhat
calme
and
faire
weder
,
and
thei
were
come
toward
the
South
parte
of
England
by
a
hauen
or
porte
called
Poole
,
where
the
said
Henry
sawe
all
the
shores
or
bankes
sette
full
of
harnessedmen
whiche
were
souldyours
apoynted
there
to
wayte
,
by
kyng
Rychard
as
we
haue
saied
before
,
for
the
comyng
&
landyng
of
the
erle
.
While
Henry
there
abode
he
gaue
commaundement
,
that
no
manne
should
land
before
that
comyng
of
the
other
shippes
.
And
in
the
meane
tyme
that
he
wayted
for
theim
,
he
sent
a
litle
bote
with
a
fewe
in
it
a
land
to
knowe
what
thei
were
that
stoode
on
the
shore
,
his
frendes
or
enemies
.
To
whom
those
souldyours
beeyng
before
taught
what
thei
should
saie
,
aunswered
that
thei
were
the
frendes
of
Henry
and
were
appoynted
by
the
duke
of
Buckynghm̄
there
to
abide
his
commyng
and
to
conducte
hym
to
those
castelles
and
holdes
where
his
tentes
,
pauylyons
and
ar●●llary
for
the
warre
laie
,
and
where
remayned
for
hym
a
greate
power
that
entended
nowe
with
all
spede
to
set
vpon
kyng
Rychard
while
he
was
nowe
sle●
for
feare
and
cleane
without
prouision
,
and
therfore
besought
hym
to
come
alande
.
Henry
suspectyng
this
to
bee
but
fraude
,
after
that
he
saw
none
of
his
shippes
apered
,
hoysed
vp
the
satles
,
hauyng
a
meruelous
good
wynde
euen
apoynted
hym
of
God
to
delyuer
hym
from
that
great
ieopardy
,
and
sayled
backe
agayn
into
Nor
mandy
.
And
after
his
landyng
there
,
he
and
his
compaignie
after
their
laboures
,
arested
theim
for
the
space
of
.iii.
dayes
,
determynyng
to
go
from
thence
afoote
into
Brytayne
,
&
in
the
meane
while
sent
messengers
vnto
Charles
the
Frenche
kynge
the
sonne
of
Lewes
that
a
lytle
before
departed
,
be
sechyng
hym
of
lybertee
and
lycence
to
passe
thorough
Normandy
into
Brytayn
.
The
young
kyng
Charles
beeyng
sory
for
his
fortune
,
was
not
onlye
ready
and
well
pleased
to
graunt
his
passage
,
but
also
sent
hym
moneye
to
helpe
hym
foorthe
in
his
iourneye
.
But
Henry
before
that
he
knewe
the
kynges
mynde
(
not
doubtyng
of
his
great
humanytee
and
gentlenes
)
had
sent
awaye
his
shippes
towardes
Britayne
and
had
set
hym selfe
forwardes
in
his
iourneye
,
but
made
no
greate
haste
tyll
the
messengers
retourned
,
whiche
greate
gentlenes
when
he
receaued
from
the
kyng
,
reioysed
his
hearte
and
with
a
lustye
stomacke
and
good
hope
set
forwarde
into
Brytayne
,
there
to
take
ferther
counsayle
of
his
affayres
.
And
when
he
was
in
Brytayn
,
he
receaued
from
his
frendes
out
of
Englande
knowledge
that
the
duke
of
Buckyngham
was
behedded
,
and
that
the
Marques
of
Dorcestre
with
a
greate
nombre
of
the
noble
men
of
Englande
had
bene
there
a
lytle
before
to
seke
hym
,
and
that
they
wer
now
in
Veneti
a
cytie
in
Brytayne
.
The
whiche
thynges
beynge
knowen
to
the
erle
,
he
on
the
one
parte
did
greately
lament
the
death
and
euel
chaunce
of
his
chiefe
and
princypall
frende
,
but
yet
on
the
other
parte
he
greatlye
reioysed
in
that
he
had
so
many
&
noble
menne
to
take
his
parte
in
the
battayll
.
And
therfore
conceauynge
a
good
hope
and
opinion
that
his
purpose
shoulde
well
frame
and
come
to
passe
,
determyned
with
hym selfe
with
all
expedycion
to
set
foorth
warde
,
and
therupon
wente
to
a
place
in
Brytayn
called
Rhedon
,
and
from
thence
sent
to
the
Marques
with
all
the
other
noble
men
that
they
should
come
vnto
hym
.
Then
when
they
hearde
that
Henrye
was
safe
returned
into
Brytayne
reioysed
not
a
lytle
,
for
thei
had
thought
he
had
landed
in
Englande
,
and
so
fallen
into
the
handes
of
kyng
Richarde
,
and
they
made
not
a
lytle
haste
tyll
they
wer
come
vnto
hym
.
The
whiche
when
they
met
,
after
greatloye
and
gladnesse
aswell
of
their
parte
as
of
his
,
they
began
to
talke
of
their
prepensed
matters
,
and
nowe
was
Christmasse
come
,
on
the
whiche
daye
they
altogether
assembled
in
the
churche
and
there
sware
fayth
and
truthe
one
to
another
.
And
Henry
sware
first
,
promysyng
that
assone
as
he
should
possesse
the
croune
of
England
,
that
he
woulde
marye
Elyzabeth
the
doughter
of
Edward
the
.iiii.
and
after
warde
they
sware
feaultie
&
homage
vnto
hym
euen
as
though
he
had
already
bene
kyng
,
and
so
from
that
tyme
foorthe
dyd
take
hym
,
promysyng
hym
that
thei
would
spende
bothe
their
lyfes
and
goodes
with
hym
,
&
that
Richard
should
no
lenger
reigne
ouer
theim
.
When
this
was
dooen
,
Henry
declared
all
these
thynges
to
the
duke
of
Britayne
,
praiynge
&
desyryng
hym
nowe
of
helpe
,
and
that
he
woulde
ayde
hym
with
a
greater
nombre
of
menne
,
&
also
to
lende
hym
a
frendly
&
honest
somme
of
moneye
that
he
might
nowe
recouer
his
right
and
enheritaunce
of
the
croune
of
England
,
vnto
that
which
he
was
called
&
desyred
by
al
the
lordes
&
nobilitee
of
the
realme
,
&
whiche
(
God
wyllyng
)
he
was
moste
assured
to
possesse
,
and
after
his
possession
he
would
moste
faythfully
restore
the
same
again
.
The
duke
promysed
hym
ayde
,
vpon
the
truste
wherof
,
he
beganne
to
make
redye
his
shippes
that
they
might
with
all
expedicion
bee
redy
to
sayle
that
no
tyme
should
be
loste
.
In
the
whiche
tyme
kyng
Richard
was
agayn
retourned
to
London
,
&
had
taken
dyuerse
of
theim
that
wer
of
this
conspyracy
,
that
is
to
say
George
Browne
,
Roger
Clyfforde
,
Thomas
Selenger
,
knyghtes
.
Also
Thomas
Ramme
,
Robert
Clyfford
and
dyuerse
other
whom
he
caused
to
be
put
to
death
.
After
this
he
called
a
parliament
wherin
was
deereed
,
that
all
those
that
were
fled
oute
of
the
lande
should
be
reputed
and
taken
as
enemyes
to
the
realme
,
and
all
their
landes
and
goodes
to
bee
forfayte
and
confiscate
.
And
not
content
with
that
preade
which
was
no
smal
thyng
,
he
caused
also
a
great
taxe
and
some
of
monye
to
be
leuyed
of
the
people
.
For
the
large
giftes
and
lyberalytee
that
he
first
vsed
to
buye
the
fauoures
&
frendshippes
of
many
,
had
now
brought
him
in
nede
.
But
nothing
was
more
like
then
that
Thomas
Stanley
shoulde
haue
bene
reputed
&
taken
for
one
of
those
enemies
because
of
the
woorkyng
of
Margarete
his
wife
which
was
mother
vnto
Henry
erle
of
Richemount
the
which
was
noted
for
the
chiefe
hed
&
worker
of
this
conspyracy
.
But
for
asmuch
as
it
was
thought
that
it
was
to
small
purpose
that
wemen
coulde
dooe
:
Thomas
beynge
nothyng
fauty
was
dely●ed
and
commaunded
that
he
should
not
suffre
Margarete
his
wyfe
to
haue
any
seruauntes
about
her
,
neither
that
she
should
not
go
abroad
but
be
shut
vp
and
that
from
thence
foorth
she
should
sende
no
message
neyther
to
her
soonne
nor
to
any
of
her
other
frendes
,
wherby
any
hurte
mighte
be
wrought
agaynst
the
kyng
,
the
whiche
commaundement
was
accomplyshed
.
And
by
the
authoryte
of
the
same
perliament
,
a
peace
was
concluded
with
the
Scottes
,
whiche
a
lytle
before
had
skyrmyshed
with
the
borderers
.
Which
thyng
brought
to
passe
,
the
kyng
supposed
all
conspiracye
to
bee
clene
auoyded
,
for
asmuche
as
the
duke
with
other
of
his
compaignie
were
put
to
death
,
and
also
certen
other
bannyshed
.
Yet
for
all
this
,
kyng
Richard
was
daylye
vexed
and
troubled
,
partelye
mystrustynge
his
owne
strength
,
and
partely
fearyng
the
commyng
of
Henrye
with
his
compaignye
,
so
that
he
lyued
but
in
a
myserable
case
.
And
because
that
he
would
not
so
continue
any
lenger
,
he
determyned
with
hym selfe
to
put
awaye
the
cause
of
this
his
feare
and
busynesse
,
either
by
pollecye
or
elles
by
strength
.
And
after
that
he
hadde
thus
purposed
with
hym selfe
,
he
thought
nothyng
better
then
to
tempte
the
duke
of
Britayn
yet
once
again
eyther
with
money
,
prayer
or
some
other
speciall
rewarde
because
that
he
had
in
kepyng
the
erle
Henry
,
&
moste
chiefly
,
because
he
knewe
that
it
was
only
he
that
might
delyuer
hym
from
all
his
trouble
by
delyueryng
or
imprisoning
the
sayed
Henry
.
Wherfore
incontmentlye
he
sente
vnto
the
duke
certein
Ambassadoures
,
the
whiche
should
promesse
vnto
hym
besyde
other
greate
rewardes
that
they
broughte
with
theim
,
to
geue
hym
yerely
all
the
reuenues
of
all
the
landes
of
Henry
and
of
all
the
other
lordes
there
beyng
with
hym
,
yf
he
woulde
after
the
receyte
of
the
ambassadoures
put
theim
in
prysone
.
The
Ambassadoures
beynge
departed
and
come
where
the
duke
laye
could
not
haue
communicacion
with
hym
,
for
asmuch
as
by
extreme
sicknesse
his
wyttes
were
feble
and
weake
.
Wherfore
one
Peter
Landose
his
Treasourer
a
manne
bothe
of
pregnaunte
wytte
and
of
greate
authoritee
,
tooke
this
matter
in
hand
.
For
whiche
cause
he
was
afterwarde
hated
of
all
the
lordes
of
Britain
.
With
this
Peter
the
Englishe
ambassadoures
had
communicacion
,
&
declaring
to
hym
the
kynges
message
desyred
hym
instantlye
,
for
asmuche
as
they
knewe
that
he
might
bring
theyr
purpose
to
passe
that
he
woulde
graunt
vnto
kyng
Richardes
request
,
and
he
shoulde
haue
the
yerely
reuenues
of
all
the
landes
of
the
sayed
lordes
.
Peter
considering
that
he
was
greatly
hated
of
the
lordes
of
his
owne
nacion
,
thoughte
that
yf
he
myght
bring
to
passe
thoroughe
kyng
Richarde
to
haue
all
these
greate
possessyons
and
yerely
reuenues
,
he
should
then
bee
hable
to
matche
with
theim
well
ynough
and
not
to
care
a
rushe
for
theim
,
whereupon
he
aunswered
the
ambassadoures
that
he
would
doo
that
Richard
dyd
desire
,
yf
he
brake
not
promesse
with
hym
.
And
this
did
he
not
for
any
hatred
that
he
bare
vnto
Henry
,
for
he
hated
hym
not
,
for
not
longe
before
he
saued
his
lyfe
where
the
earle
Henry
was
in
greate
●eoperdye
.
But
suche
was
the
good
fortune
of
Englande
,
that
this
craftye
compacte
tooke
no
place
,
for
whyle
the
letters
and
messengers
ranne
betwene
Peter
and
kyng
Kichard
,
Iohn
Bishoppe
of
Ely
beinge
then
in
Flaundres
was
certifyed
by
a
preest
whiche
came
oute
of
England
whose
name
was
Christopher
Vrswicke
of
all
the
whole
circumstaunce
of
this
deuyce
&
purpose
.
Wherupon
with
all
spede
the
sayed
byshop
caused
the
saied
preest
the
same
daye
to
cary
know
ledge
therof
into
Britayn
to
Henry
erle
of
Richemounte
willing
hym
with
all
the
other
noble
men
to
dyspatche
theim selues
with
all
possible
haste
into
Fraunce
,
Henry
was
then
in
Veneti
when
he
heard
of
this
fraud
,
without
tariaunce
sent
Christopher
vnto
Charles
the
Frenche
kyng
desiring
lycence
that
Henry
with
the
other
noble
men
myght
safely
come
into
Fraunce
,
the
which
thing
being
sone
obteigned
,
the
messenger
retourned
with
spede
to
his
lorde
and
Prince
.
Then
the
earle
Henry
setting
all
his
businesse
in
as
good
staye
&
ordre
as
he
mighte
,
talked
lytle
and
made
fewe
a
counsail
herof
,
&
for
the
more
expedicyon
hereof
,
he
caused
th
erle
of
Penbrucke
secretly
to
cause
all
the
noble
men
to
take
their
horses
,
dissembling
to
ride
vnto
the
duke
of
Bretain
,
but
when
they
came
to
the
vttermost
partes
therof
,
they
should
forsake
the
waye
that
led
theim
toward
the
duke
,
and
to
make
into
Fraunce
with
all
that
euer
they
might
.
Then
they
dooing
in
euery
thing
as
they
were
bidden
loste
no
tyme
but
so
sped
theim
that
shortely
they
obteygned
and
gate
into
the
countie
of
Angeou
.
Henry
then
within
.ii.
dayes
folowyng
,
being
then
styll
at
Veneti
tooke
.iiii.
or
fyue
of
his
seruauntes
with
hym
,
and
feigned
as
thoughe
he
woulde
haue
ryden
therby
to
visyte
a
frende
of
his
,
and
forasmuche
as
there
were
many
Englishmenne
lefte
there
in
the
toune
,
no
manne
suspected
any
thynge
,
but
after
that
he
had
kepte
the
ryghte
waye
for
the
space
of
fyue
myles
,
he
forsooke
that
and
turned
streyghte
into
a
woode
that
was
thereby
,
and
tooke
vpon
hym
his
seruauntes
apparell
,
and
putte
his
apparell
vpon
hys
seruaunte
,
and
so
tooke
but
one
of
theym
with
hym
,
on
whome
he
waited
as
thoughe
he
had
bene
the
seruaunte
and
the
other
the
maister
.
And
with
all
conuenyente
and
spedy
haste
so
sette
forthe
on
theyr
iourney
that
no
tyme
was
loste
,
and
made
no
more
tariaunce
by
the
way
then
onelye
the
baitynge
of
theyr
horses
,
so
that
shortly
he
recouered
the
coastes
of
Angeou
where
all
his
other
companye
was
.
But
within
foure
dayes
after
that
the
Earle
was
thus
escaped
.
Peter
receaued
from
kyng
Richard
the
confirmacion
of
the
graunte
and
promises
made
for
the
betreiyng
of
Henry
and
the
other
nobles
.
Wherfore
the
saide
Peter
sente
oute
after
hym
horses
and
menne
with
suche
expedicion
and
spede
to
haue
taken
hym
,
that
scacely
the
erle
was
entred
Fraunce
one
houre
but
they
were
at
his
heles
.
The
Englyshe
menne
then
beyng
aboue
the
noumbre
of
thre
hundreth
at
Veneti
,
hearing
that
the
Earle
and
all
the
nobles
were
fled
so
sodeinly
and
withoute
any
of
their
knowledge
,
were
astonyed
and
in
maner
despaired
of
theyr
lyues
.
But
it
happened
contrary
to
theyr
exspectacyon
for
the
duke
of
Britaine
taking
the
matter
so
vnkyndely
that
Henry
should
bee
so
vsed
with
hym
that
for
feare
he
shoulde
bee
compelled
to
flee
his
lande
,
was
not
a
lytle
vexed
with
Peter
,
to
whom
(
althoughe
that
he
was
ignoraunte
of
the
fraude
and
crafte
that
had
been
wrought
by
hym
)
yet
he
layed
the
whole
faute
in
hym
,
and
therfore
called
vnto
hym
Edward
Poyninges
&
Edward
Wood
vile
,
deliuering
vnto
theim
the
foresayde
monye
the
Henrye
before
had
desyred
the
Duke
to
lende
hym
towarde
the
charge
of
his
iourney
,
and
commaunded
theim
to
conuey
and
conducte
all
the
English
menne
his
seruauntes
vnto
hym
paying
theyr
expenses
,
and
to
deliuer
the
sayde
some
of
monye
vnto
the
earle
.
When
the
earle
sawe
his
menne
come
and
hearde
this
comfortable
newes
,
he
not
a
lytle
reioysed
,
desiring
the
messengers
that
returned
to
shewe
vnto
the
duke
,
that
he
trusted
ere
long
time
to
shewe
him selfe
not
to
bee
vnthankeful
for
this
greate
kyndnesse
that
he
nowe
shewed
vnto
hym
.
And
within
fewe
dayes
after
,
the
earle
went
vnto
Charles
the
French
kyng
,
to
whome
after
he
had
rendred
thankes
for
the
great
benefites
and
kindnesse
that
he
had
receaued
of
hym
,
the
cause
of
his
comming
fyrste
declared
,
then
he
besought
him
of
his
helpe
and
ayde
,
whiche
shoulde
bee
an
immor
tall
benefite
to
hym
and
his
lordes
,
of
whome
generallye
he
was
called
vnto
the
kyngdome
,
forasmuch
as
they
so
abhorred
the
tiranny
of
kyng
Rychard
.
Charles
promised
hym
helpe
and
bade
him
to
be
of
good
chere
&
to
take
no
care
,
for
he
would
gladly
declare
vnto
hym
his
beneuolence
.
And
the
same
tyme
Charles
remoued
and
tooke
with
hym
Henry
and
all
the
other
noble
menne
.
Whyle
Henry
remained
there
,
Iohn
Earle
of
Oxenford
(
of
whome
is
before
spoken
)
which
was
put
in
prisone
by
Edward
the
fourth
in
the
castell
of
Hammes
with
also
Iames
Blounte
Capteine
of
that
castell
,
and
Iohn
Forskewe
knyghte
Porter
of
the
towne
of
Caleies
,
came
vnto
hym
.
But
Iames
the
capitain
,
because
he
lefte
his
wife
in
the
castell
,
dyd
furnyshe
the
same
with
a
good
garison
of
men
before
his
departure
.
Henry
when
he
sawe
th
erle
,
was
out
of
measure
glad
the
so
noble
a
man
and
of
greate
experience
in
battayl
,
and
so
valiaunt
&
hardie
a
knight
,
whom
he
thought
to
bee
moste
feithfull
and
sure
,
for
somuche
as
he
had
in
the
time
of
Edward
the
fourth
,
continuall
battail
with
hym
in
defending
of
Henry
the
syxte
,
thought
that
nowe
he
was
so
well
apointed
that
he
coulde
not
desire
to
bee
better
,
and
therfore
communicated
vnto
hym
all
his
whole
affaires
,
to
bee
ordred
and
ruled
only
by
hym
.
Not
longe
after
Charles
the
Frenche
kyng
remoued
again
to
Paris
,
whome
Henry
folowed
,
and
there
againe
moued
and
besoughte
the
kyng
as
he
had
moste
fauourably
&
kindely
entreteigned
hym
all
this
time
,
not
only
in
wordes
,
but
also
in
dedes
that
it
would
lykewise
please
hym
yet
so
much
further
to
extend
his
fauoure
&
beneuolence
vnto
hym
that
nowe
he
woulde
ayde
and
helpe
hym
forwarde
in
his
iourney
,
that
not
onely
he
,
but
also
all
the
lordes
and
nobilytee
of
Englande
myghte
iustely
haue
cause
to
knowlage
and
confesse
that
by
the
meane
of
his
fauoure
and
goodnesse
they
were
restored
againe
to
the
possessyon
of
their
enherytaunces
,
whiche
withoute
hym
they
coulde
not
well
bryng
to
passe
.
In
the
meane
while
,
his
fortune
was
suche
,
the
many
Englyshe
menne
came
ouerdaylye
oute
of
Englande
vnto
him
,
and
many
whiche
then
were
in
Paris
,
amonge
whome
were
diuerfe
studentēs
that
fell
vnto
his
parte
bothe
more
and
lesse
,
and
specially
there
was
one
,
whose
name
was
Richard
Foxe
a
Preest
,
beyng
a
manne
of
a
synguler
good
wytte
and
learning
,
whome
Henry
streyght
waye
reteigned
and
committed
all
his
secretes
vnto
hym
and
whome
also
afterward
he
promoted
to
many
hyghe
promocyons
,
and
at
the
laste
he
made
hym
bishop
of
Winchester
.
Richarde
then
hearyng
of
all
this
conspiracye
and
of
the
greate
ayde
that
dayly
wente
ouer
vnto
Henry
,
thought
yet
for
all
this
,
that
if
he
might
bring
to
passe
that
Henry
should
not
couple
in
maryage
with
the
blood
of
king
Edwarde
,
that
then
he
shoulde
dooe
well
ynoughe
with
hym
and
kept
hym
from
the
possessyon
of
the
croune
.
Then
deuysed
he
with
hym selfe
all
the
wayes
and
meanes
that
myghte
bee
howe
to
bryng
this
to
passe
.
And
fyrste
he
thoughte
it
to
bee
beste
with
fayre
woordes
&
large
promesses
to
attempte
the
quene
whose
fauoure
obteygned
,
he
doubted
not
but
shortelye
to
fynde
the
meanes
to
haue
bothe
her
doughters
oute
of
her
handes
into
his
owne
,
and
then
rested
nothynge
but
yf
he
hym selfe
myghte
fynde
the
meanes
after
warde
to
marye
one
of
the
same
doughters
,
whereby
he
thought
he
shoulde
make
all
sure
and
safe
to
the
vtter
disapoyntinge
of
Henrye
.
Wherupon
he
sente
vnto
the
Quene
then
beynge
in
the
Sanctuarye
dyuerse
and
sondrye
messengers
that
shoulde
excuse
and
pourge
hym
of
his
facte
afore
dooen
towardes
her
,
settynge
forthe
the
matter
with
plesaunte
woordes
and
hye
promyses
bothe
to
her
and
also
her
sonne
Thomas
lorde
Marques
of
Dorset
,
of
all
thynges
that
coulde
be
desyred
.
These
messengers
beyng
men
of
grauitee
,
handled
the
quene
so
e●●ftly
that
anone
she
beganne
to
bee
alured
and
to
herken
vnto
theim
fauourably
,
so
that
in
conclusion
she
promysed
to
be
obedient
to
the
kyng
in
his
request
(
forgettyng
the
iniuries
he
had
dooen
to
her
before
,
and
on
the
other
parte
not
remembryng
the
promesse
that
she
made
to
Maigarete
Henryes
mother
.
)
And
first
she
delyuered
both
her
doughters
into
the
handes
of
kyng
Rychard
,
then
after
she
sent
preuely
for
the
Lorde
Marques
her
sonne
beyng
then
at
Parys
with
Henry
(
as
ye
haue
heard
)
wyllyng
hym
to
forsake
Henrye
with
whome
he
was
,
and
spedely
to
returne
into
Englande
for
all
thynges
was
perdoned
and
forgeuen
,
&
she
again
in
fauoure
and
frendship
of
the
kyng
,
and
it
should
be
highly
for
his
aduauncement
and
honoure
.
Kyng
Richard
(
when
quene
Elizabeth
was
thus
brought
into
a
fooles
paradyce
)
after
he
had
receaued
al
his
brothers
doughters
from
the
sanctuary
into
his
palayce
,
thought
there
nowe
remayned
nothyng
to
be
dooen
,
but
only
the
castyng
awaye
and
destroiyng
of
his
owne
wife
,
whiche
thynge
he
had
wholy
purposed
and
decreed
within
hym selfe
.
And
there
was
nothyng
that
feared
hym
so
much
from
this
mooste
cruell
&
detestable
murder
as
the
losyng
of
the
good
opynion
the
he
thought
the
people
had
conceyued
of
hym
,
for
as
ye
haue
heard
before
,
he
faigned
hym selfe
to
be
a
good
man
and
thought
the
people
had
estemed
hym
euen
so
.
Notwithstandyng
shortly
after
,
his
foresaide
vngracious
purpose
,
ouercame
al
this
honest
feare
.
And
first
of
all
,
he
absteyned
from
beddyng
or
lyyng
with
her
:
and
also
found
him self
greued
with
the
barrennesse
of
his
wife
,
that
she
was
vnfruteful
and
brought
hym
forth
no
chyldren
,
complamyng
therof
very
greuously
vnto
the
nobles
of
his
realme
and
chieflye
aboue
other
vnto
Thomas
Rotherame
then
archebishoppe
of
Yorke
(
whome
he
had
delyuered
a
lytle
afore
oute
of
pryson
)
the
whiche
byshop
did
gather
of
this
,
that
the
quene
should
be
rid
out
of
the
waye
,
ere
it
were
long
after
(
suche
experience
had
he
of
kyng
Richardes
complexcion
who
had
practised
many
lyke
thynges
not
longe
before
)
&
the
same
tyme
also
he
made
dyuerse
of
his
secrete
frendes
preuy
of
the
same
his
coniecture
.
After
this
,
he
caused
a
rumoure
to
ronne
among
the
commen
people
(
but
he
woulde
not
haue
the
autoure
knowen
)
that
the
quene
was
dead
,
to
th
entent
that
she
hearyng
this
meruelous
rumour
,
should
take
so
greueous
a
conceyt
that
anone
after
she
should
fall
into
some
great
disease
,
so
that
he
would
assay
that
waye
,
in
case
it
should
chaunce
her
afterward
to
be
sicke
,
dead
or
otherwyse
murdred
,
that
then
the
people
might
impute
her
death
vnto
the
thought
she
tooke
or
els
to
the
sickenesse
.
But
when
the
quene
heard
of
so
horryble
a
rumour
of
her
death
spronge
abroade
among
the
commen
people
,
she
suspected
the
matter
and
supposed
the
worlde
to
be
at
an
ende
with
her
,
and
incontinently
,
she
wente
to
the
kyng
with
a
lamentable
countenaunce
,
and
with
wepyng
teares
asked
hym
,
whether
she
had
dooen
any
thyng
whereby
he
might
iudge
her
worthy
to
suffer
death
.
The
kyng
made
aunswere
with
a
smilyng
and
dissimulyng
countenaunce
and
with
flatteryng
woordes
,
byddyng
her
to
bee
of
good
comforte
and
to
plucke
vp
her
heart
for
there
was
no
suche
thyng
toward
her
that
he
knewe
.
But
howe
so
euer
it
fortuned
,
either
by
sorowe
or
els
by
poysonyng
,
within
fewe
daies
after
,
the
quene
was
dedde
and
afterwarde
was
buryed
in
the
abbay
of
Westminster
.
This
is
the
same
Anne
,
one
of
Rychard
the
earle
of
Warwikes
doughters
whiche
once
was
contracted
to
prince
Edwarde
kyng
Henry
the
sixt
his
soonne
.
The
kyng
beyng
thus
delyuered
of
his
wife
fantasied
a
pace
ladye
Elizabeth
his
nice
,
desiryng
in
any
wise
to
mary
with
her
:
but
because
that
all
menne
,
yee
and
the
mayden
her self
abhorred
this
vnlawfull
desire
,
as
a
thyng
mooste
detestable
,
he
determined
with
hym self
to
make
no
greate
hast
in
the
matter
,
chiefly
for
that
he
was
in
a
pecke
of
troubles
,
fearyng
least
that
of
the
noble
menne
some
would
forsake
hym
&
runne
vnto
Henry
his
part
,
the
other
at
the
leste
would
fauoure
the
secrete
conspiracy
made
again
hym
,
so
that
of
his
ende
there
was
almoost
no
doubte
.
Also
the
more
parte
of
the
commen
people
were
in
so
greate
dispeare
,
that
many
of
theim
had
rather
to
bee
accompted
in
the
noumbre
of
his
enemies
,
then
to
put
theim selfes
in
ieopardy
bothe
of
losse
of
body
and
goodes
in
takyng
of
his
parte
.
And
emongest
those
noble
menne
whom
he
feared
,
first
was
Thomas
Standley
and
Wyllyam
his
brother
,
Gylbert
Talbote
,
&
of
other
a
greate
noumbre
,
of
whose
purpose
▪
though
kyng
Rychard
was
ignoraunt
,
neuerthelesse
he
trusted
not
one
of
theim
,
and
lest
of
all
Thomas
Standley
,
because
he
had
maryed
Henryesanother
,
as
it
maye
well
appeare
by
this
that
fol
oweth
.
For
when
the
sayd
Thomas
woulde
haue
departed
from
the
courte
vnto
his
owne
mansion
for
his
recreacion
(
as
he
saide
)
but
the
truthe
was
,
because
he
woulde
bee
in
a
readynesse
to
receaue
Henry
and
ayde
hym
at
his
commyng
into
the
realme
.
But
the
kyng
did
let
hym
,
and
would
not
suffer
hym
to
departe
,
vntyll
suche
tyme
he
had
left
in
the
courte
behynde
hym
George
Strange
his
soonne
and
heyre
for
a
pledge
.
And
whyle
kynge
Richarde
was
thus
wrapped
in
feare
and
care
of
the
tumulte
that
was
to
come
,
lo
,
euen
then
tydynges
came
that
Henrye
was
entred
into
the
lande
,
and
that
the
castell
of
Hammes
was
prepared
to
receiue
Henry
,
by
the
meanes
of
the
erle
of
Oxenforde
whiche
then
was
fled
with
Iames
Blunte
keper
of
the
castell
vnto
Henry
.
Then
kyng
Rychard
,
thynkyng
at
the
begynnyng
to
stey
all
this
matter
,
sent
forth
with
all
hast
●he
greater
parte
that
were
then
at
Calyce
to
recouer
the
said
castell
again
.
Those
that
were
in
the
castell
,
when
thei
sawe
their
aduersaries
make
towardes
theim
,
spedely
thei
armed
theim selfes
to
defence
and
in
al
hast
sent
messengers
to
Henry
,
desyryng
hym
of
ayde
.
Henry
forthwith
sent
the
erle
of
Oxenforde
with
a
chosen
sorte
of
menne
to
assist
theim
,
and
at
their
first
commyng
they
laid
siege
not
farre
from
the
castell
.
And
whyle
kyng
Rychardes
menne
turned
backe
hauyng
an
yie
towardes
theim
:
Thomas
Brandon
with
thirty
valeaunt
menne
of
the
otherside
gate
ouer
a
water
in
to
the
castell
,
to
strength
theim
that
were
within
.
Then
thei
that
were
within
laid
heard
to
their
charge
that
were
without
,
on
the
otherside
,
the
erle
of
Oxenford
so
valiantly
assayled
them
of
the
backeside
that
thei
were
glad
to
make
proclamacion
to
theim
that
were
within
,
that
if
thei
would
be
content
to
geue
ouer
the
castell
,
thei
should
haue
free
liberte
to
departe
with
all
that
euer
thei
had
.
The
erle
of
Oxenforde
hearyng
this
,
whiche
came
onely
to
saue
his
frendes
from
hurte
,
and
namely
Iames
Bluntes
wife
,
was
contented
with
this
condicion
and
departed
in
saufgarde
with
all
his
frendes
returning
backe
to
Henry
,
whiche
was
at
Paris
.
After
this
,
kyng
Rychard
was
informed
that
the
Frenche
kyng
was
wery
of
Henry
&
his
compaignie
,
and
would
doo
nothyng
for
hym
,
wherby
Henry
was
nowe
not
hable
in
maner
to
helpe
him self
,
so
that
it
was
not
possible
that
he
shuld
preuaile
or
goo
forwarde
in
th
enterprise
that
he
thoughte
to
haue
taken
in
hande
agaynst
kynge
Rycharde
.
Kynge
Rycharde
beeyng
brought
thus
into
a
false
paradice
,
thought
hym selfe
to
bee
out
of
all
feare
,
and
that
there
was
no
cause
why
he
should
beynge
so
sure
,
ones
to
wake
oute
of
hys
slepe
or
trouble
hym selfe
any
furder
,
and
therefore
called
backe
hys
nauye
of
shyppes
that
then
was
redy
vpon
the
sea
,
whyche
was
fullye
furnyshed
to
haue
scoured
the
seas
.
But
yet
for
the
more
suretie
least
he
should
bee
sodenly
oppressed
,
he
gaue
commaundemente
to
the
greatte
men
dwellynge
by
the
sea
syde
(
and
specyally
the
Welshemen
)
to
watche
nyghte
and
daye
,
leaste
his
aduersaries
shuld
haue
eny
oportunitee
to
entre
into
the
lande
.
As
the
fashyon
is
in
time
of
warre
that
those
that
dwell
by
the
sees
side
should
make
bekyns
in
the
highest
places
there
about
,
whiche
might
bee
sene
afarre
of
,
so
that
when
it
should
chaunce
their
enemyes
to
aryue
towarde
the
lande
,
by
and
by
they
should
fyre
theyr
bekyns
and
rayse
the
countreye
,
to
th
entent
that
quickely
from
place
to
place
they
might
be
ascerteyned
of
all
the
whole
matter
and
also
to
arme
theim selfes
spedelye
agaynste
theyr
enemies
.
And
so
to
come
to
our
purpose
agayn
,
kyng
Richard
thorough
the
aforesaide
tydynges
,
beganne
to
bee
more
carelesse
and
rechelesse
,
as
who
saye
,
he
had
no
power
to
withstand
the
desteny
that
honge
ouer
his
hedde
.
Suche
is
the
prouydent
iustyce
of
God
,
that
a
manne
dooeth
leste
knowe
,
prouyde
&
beware
when
the
vengeaunce
of
God
is
euen
at
hande
for
his
offences
.
And
to
go
forth
,
at
the
tyme
when
Henry
the
earle
of
Richemounte
remayned
in
Fraunce
entretyng
and
suyng
for
ayde
&
helpe
of
the
Frenche
men
,
many
of
the
chiefe
noble
men
,
which
had
the
realme
in
gouernaunce
(
because
of
the
young
age
of
Charles
the
kyng
)
fel
somewhat
at
dissencion
,
of
the
whiche
variaunce
,
Lewes
the
prynce
of
Orlyaunce
was
the
chiefe
and
hedde
,
whiche
because
he
had
maryed
Iohanne
the
kynges
syster
looked
to
haue
bene
chiefe
gouernoure
of
all
the
realme
.
By
the
which
meanes
it
came
to
passe
,
that
no
one
man
had
the
princypall
gouernaunce
of
the
realme
.
And
therefore
Henry
the
erle
was
constraigned
to
sue
vnto
all
the
nobles
seuerallye
one
after
another
desyrynge
and
praiynge
theim
of
aide
and
helpe
in
his
purpose
,
and
thus
the
matter
was
prolonged
.
In
the
meane
tyme
Thomas
the
Marques
of
Dorcet
(
of
whome
we
spake
afore
)
was
preuely
sent
for
to
come
home
by
his
mother
,
partely
mystrustynge
that
Henrye
should
not
preuayle
,
and
partly
for
the
greate
and
large
promesses
that
kyng
Richard
had
made
to
her
for
hym
before
.
Whiche
letters
when
the
sayd
Marques
had
receaued
,
he
beleuyng
all
thynges
that
his
mother
wrote
vnto
hym
,
and
also
thynkyng
that
Henry
should
neuer
preuayle
,
and
that
the
Frenchemen
did
but
mocke
and
daylye
with
hym
:
he
sodeynly
in
the
night
tyme
conueyed
hym selfe
out
of
Parys
and
with
great
spede
made
towardes
Flaunders
.
The
whiche
thyng
when
the
erle
and
other
of
the
Englishe
lordes
heard
of
,
thei
wer
sore
astonned
&
amased
,
&
with
all
spede
purchased
of
Charles
the
kyng
a
lycence
and
commaundement
that
the
Marques
might
by
steyed
whersoeuer
he
wer
found
with
in
the
dominion
of
Fraunce
chiefly
for
that
he
was
secrete
of
their
councel
and
knewe
all
there
purpose
.
The
commaundement
was
quickly
obteyned
&
postes
made
forth
euery
waye
,
emongest
whom
one
Humfrey
Cheyncy
plaiyng
the
parte
of
a
good
blooddehounde
so
truely
,
smelled
out
and
folowed
the
trace
,
that
by
and
by
he
found
out
and
toke
the
Marques
:
and
so
handled
&
persuaded
hym
with
gentle
and
good
woordes
,
that
shortely
after
he
was
content
to
retourne
.
Then
Henry
beyng
delyuered
of
this
chaunce
,
thought
it
best
to
prolonge
the
matter
no
farther
least
he
should
loose
both
the
present
oportunytee
and
also
wery
his
frendes
that
looked
for
hym
in
Englande
.
Wherfore
he
made
haste
and
set
forewarde
with
a
small
army
obteyned
of
the
Frenche
kyng
,
of
whom
he
also
borowed
some
money
,
and
some
of
other
of
his
frendes
,
for
the
whiche
he
left
the
Marques
and
Ihon
Burchere
behynde
for
a
pledge
.
And
so
setting
forward
came
to
Roan
,
and
whyle
he
taryed
there
and
prepared
shippyng
at
the
hauen
of
Seyne
,
tydynges
cam
to
hym
the
kyng
:
Richardes
wyfe
was
deade
,
&
purposed
to
mary
with
the
lady
Elysabeth
,
kyng
Edwardes
eldest
doughter
being
his
nice
,
&
that
he
had
maried
Cycile
her
syster
to
a
mannes
sonne
of
the
lande
far
vnderneth
her
degre
.
At
the
whiche
thyng
,
Henry
was
sore
amased
and
troubled
,
thynkyng
that
by
this
meanes
al
his
purpose
was
dashed
,
for
that
there
was
no
other
waye
for
hym
to
come
to
the
kyngdome
but
only
by
the
maryage
of
one
of
kyng
Edwardes
doughters
.
And
by
this
menes
also
,
he
feared
least
his
frendes
in
Englande
would
shrynke
from
hym
for
lacke
of
an
honest
title
.
But
after
thei
had
consulted
vpon
the
matter
,
thei
thought
it
best
to
cary
a
lytle
to
proue
if
they
might
gette
more
helpe
and
make
mo
frendes
.
And
among
all
other
,
they
thought
it
best
to
adioyne
the
lord
Harbarte
vnto
theim
,
whiche
was
a
man
of
great
power
in
Wales
and
that
should
be
brought
to
passe
by
this
meanes
,
for
that
the
lorde
Harbarte
had
a
syster
maryable
,
whom
Henry
would
be
content
to
mary
,
if
he
would
take
their
part
.
And
to
bring
al
this
matter
to
passe
messengers
were
sent
to
Henry
the
erle
of
Northhumberlande
,
whiche
had
maryed
the
other
syster
so
that
he
should
bryng
this
matter
about
,
but
the
wayes
were
so
beset
that
the
messengers
could
not
come
to
hym
.
And
in
the
meane
season
,
came
veray
good
tydynges
from
Ihon
ap
Morgan
a
temporall
lawyer
,
whiche
signified
vnto
theim
that
syr
Ryce
ap
Thomas
a
noble
and
valiaunt
man
and
Ihon
Sauage
,
fauoured
his
parte
earnestlye
and
also
syr
Reynolde
Braye
had
prepared
a
greate
summe
of
mony
to
wage
battayl
on
his
parte
and
to
helpe
hym
,
and
therfore
he
woulde
they
should
make
hast
with
all
that
euer
they
could
,
and
make
towarde
Wales
.
Then
Henry
spedely
prepared
hym selfe
because
he
would
lynger
his
frendes
no
lenger
.
And
after
that
he
had
made
his
prayer
vnto
almightye
God
that
he
might
haue
good
successe
in
his
iourney
,
only
with
two
thousande
menne
and
a
fewe
shyppes
in
the
calendes
of
August
he
sayled
from
the
hauen
of
Seyne
,
and
the
seuenth
daye
after
whiche
was
the
.xxii.
daye
of
August
,
he
aryued
in
Wales
aboute
sonne
set
&
landed
at
Wilforde
hauen
,
&
in
the
parte
whiche
is
called
the
Dale
,
where
he
hearde
that
there
was
dyuerse
layde
in
wayte
for
hym
,
to
kepe
hym
backe
.
From
thence
,
in
the
mornyng
betymes
he
remoued
towarde
a
towne
called
Harford
with
in
tenne
myle
of
the
Dale
,
where
he
was
very
ioyfully
receyued
.
Here
he
had
contrarye
tydynges
brought
to
that
he
hearde
in
Normandy
afore
,
that
syr
Ryce
ap
Thomas
and
Ihon
Sauage
wythal
that
euer
they
coulde
make
,
were
of
kyng
Richardes
parte
.
Notwithstandynge
,
they
had
suche
tydynges
sent
theim
from
the
menne
of
Pembruche
by
a
valiaunt
gentleman
,
whose
name
was
Arnold
Butteler
,
that
it
reioysed
all
their
heartes
,
whiche
was
,
that
yf
all
former
offences
might
bee
remitted
,
they
woold
bee
in
a
redynesse
to
sticke
vnto
there
owne
Gespare
the
erle
.
Then
Henryes
company
by
this
meanes
beeyng
encreased
,
departed
from
Harforde
fyue
myle
towarde
Cardygane
,
and
then
while
he
refreshed
his
menne
,
sodenly
came
a
rumoure
vnto
hym
that
the
lorde
Harbarte
whiche
dwelled
at
Carmerdyne
was
nye
at
hande
with
a
greate
armye
of
menne
.
At
the
whiche
rumoure
there
was
a
greate
sturre
amongeste
theim
,
euerye
manne
tooke
hym selfe
to
his
weapon
and
made
theim selfes
redye
if
nede
were
,
to
fight
,
and
a
lytle
while
they
were
all
afrayed
,
tyl
such
tyme
as
Henrye
had
sent
out
horsemen
to
trye
the
truthe
,
whiche
when
thei
came
agayn
,
declared
that
all
thynges
was
quiet
and
that
ther
was
no
suche
thyng
.
But
moste
of
all
master
Gryffythes
a
verye
noble
man
did
conforte
theim
and
gladden
their
heartes
,
whiche
although
before
he
had
ioyned
hym self
to
the
lorde
Harberte
,
at
that
very
tyme
he
cleued
to
Henry
with
suche
companye
as
he
had
,
although
they
were
but
fewe
,
and
the
same
tyme
came
Ihon
ap
Morgan
vnto
hym
.
Henry
went
styll
forward
&
caried
almoste
in
no
place
,
because
he
would
make
suer
woorke
and
the
better
spede
,
he
inuaded
suche
places
afore
that
thei
were
armed
against
hym
,
the
whiche
places
he
bette
downe
with
very
litle
strength
But
afterward
hauyng
knowlage
by
his
spyes
the
the
lorde
Harbert
&
syr
Ryce
were
in
a
redynes
to
geue
hym
battail
he
determyned
to
set
vpon
theim
,
&
either
to
put
theim
to
flight
orels
to
make
theim
sweare
homage
and
feaultee
vnto
hym
,
&
to
take
theim
with
hym
in
his
hoste
against
kyng
Richard
.
And
because
he
woulde
ascertayne
his
frendes
in
Englande
howe
all
the
matter
went
forwad
with
hym
,
he
sent
of
his
moost
trustye
frendes
to
ladye
Margarete
his
mother
,
to
Standely
,
to
Talbot
,
and
to
other
of
his
most
especial
frendes
with
certain
commaundementes
.
The
effecte
of
the
commaundementes
were
,
that
he
intended
with
the
helpe
of
hys
frendes
to
passe
ouer
Seuerne
and
by
Shrewesbury
to
make
toward
London
.
Ther
fore
he
desyred
theim
with
those
that
were
of
their
councell
in
tyme
&
place
conuenient
to
mete
hym
.
So
the
messaungers
going
forth
with
these
commissyons
:
Henry
went
forward
toward
Shrewesbury
,
and
in
the
waye
mette
with
syr
Rice
ap
Thomas
with
a
great
noumber
of
menne
which
came
vnto
hym
and
was
of
his
parte
.
For
two
dayes
afore
Henry
promysed
hym
to
bee
chiefe
ruler
of
all
Wales
as
soone
as
he
came
to
the
croune
(
yf
he
would
come
vnto
hym
)
which
afterward
he
gaue
to
hym
in
dede
.
In
the
meane
time
the
messengers
executing
the
message
,
diligently
returned
back
agayne
with
large
rewardes
of
theim
,
to
whome
they
were
sent
and
came
to
Henry
the
same
day
he
entred
into
Shrewesburye
and
shewed
howe
all
his
frendes
were
in
a
redynesse
to
dooe
the
vttermoste
that
laye
in
theim
.
This
tidynges
put
Henry
in
suche
greate
hope
,
that
he
went
forth
with
a
courage
and
came
to
the
towne
of
Newporte
and
there
set
vp
his
tentes
vpon
a
lytle
hyll
,
and
there
laye
all
night
.
That
night
came
to
hym
syr
Gylberte
Talbot
with
aboue
two
hundreth
menne
.
After
that
they
went
forthe
to
Stafforde
&
whyle
they
were
there
,
Willyam
Standley
came
to
hym
with
a
fewe
after
hym
,
and
when
he
had
talked
a
litle
with
him
,
retourned
backe
again
to
his
hoste
whiche
he
had
prepared
.
From
thence
he
went
to
Lichfelde
,
and
that
nyght
laye
without
the
toune
,
but
in
the
morning
betime
he
entred
into
the
citee
and
was
receiued
honourably
.
A
daye
or
.ii.
afore
,
Thomas
Standley
was
there
with
fyue
.
M.
men
armed
,
whiche
when
he
knewe
of
Henries
comming
,
forthwith
went
afore
to
a
village
called
Aderstone
there
to
tarye
tyll
Henrye
came
.
This
he
dyd
to
auoide
suspicion
,
beyng
afraid
least
kyng
Richard
knowing
his
intent
would
haue
put
his
soonne
to
deathe
,
whiche
as
I
telled
you
before
was
lefte
with
hym
as
a
pledge
for
his
father
.
But
kynge
Rychard
in
the
meane
tyme
,
which
then
was
at
Nottingham
,
hearing
that
Henry
with
a
fewe
more
of
banished
men
was
entred
into
Wales
,
so
lightly
regarded
the
matter
,
that
he
thoughte
it
was
not
muche
to
bee
paste
vpon
,
for
that
he
came
in
with
so
fewe
in
noumbre
,
and
that
the
lorde
Harbart
&
sir
Rice
,
which
wer
rulers
of
all
Wales
,
would
other
kyll
hym
,
or
elles
take
hym
and
bring
hym
aliue
.
But
afterward
,
when
he
remembred
him self
that
oftentimes
a
smal
matter
in
batel
if
it
bee
not
looked
vnto
betymes
,
would
make
at
the
laste
a
great
sturre
:
he
thought
it
best
to
remedy
the
matter
betimes
and
commaunded
Henrye
the
earle
of
Northumberlande
with
other
of
the
nobles
of
the
realme
(
whome
he
thoughte
had
set
more
by
hym
then
by
their
owne
goodes
)
to
rayse
vp
an
army
&
to
come
to
hym
with
speede
.
Also
he
sente
dyuers
messengers
with
letters
to
Robert
Brakenburye
keper
of
the
Towre
of
London
,
commaundynge
hym
to
come
vnto
hym
in
all
haste
,
and
to
brynge
with
hym
as
felowes
in
battell
,
Thomas
Burschere
,
Walter
Hungerforde
and
dyuerse
other
knyghtes
,
whome
he
dyd
not
a
litell
suspecte
.
In
this
tyme
it
was
shewed
that
Henrye
was
come
to
Shrewisburye
without
any
hurte
.
With
the
which
tidinges
,
the
kyng
beganne
to
rage
and
made
exclamacion
againste
theim
,
that
contrary
to
their
faithes
they
had
vtterly
deceiued
hym
,
&
then
he
beganne
to
mistrust
all
menne
,
and
wiste
not
whome
he
mighte
truste
,
so
that
he
thoughte
it
best
to
sette
forthe
hym selfe
ageinst
his
aduersaryes
.
And
forthwith
he
sent
out
spies
to
knowe
which
waye
Henry
did
take
.
They
when
they
had
dooen
their
diligence
retourned
backe
again
and
shewed
hym
howe
that
Henry
was
come
to
Lichfeld
.
The
which
thing
after
he
knew
,
because
now
there
was
a
greate
noumbre
of
souldyours
come
together
,
by
and
by
his
menne
set
in
araye
,
he
commaunded
theim
forwarde
,
and
to
gooe
foure
and
foure
together
,
and
by
that
waye
which
they
kept
they
hearde
saye
,
their
enemies
were
commynge
.
The
suspecte
persones
he
putte
in
the
myddes
,
he
hym selfe
with
those
he
trusted
came
behind
,
with
winges
of
horsemen
running
on
euery
syde
.
And
thus
keping
their
order
,
aboute
sonne
sette
came
vnto
Leicestre
.
When
Henrye
in
the
meane
season
had
remoued
from
Lichefelde
vnto
the
nexte
village
called
Tamworth
,
in
the
mydwaye
he
mette
with
Walter
Hungerforde
,
Thomas
Burschier
and
many
other
more
which
had
promised
to
aide
hym
afore
And
forbecause
they
perceyued
that
they
were
susspected
of
Richard
,
&
least
they
should
be
brought
violentlye
vnto
hym
beyng
their
enemye
they
forsooke
Robert
Brakenbury
their
capitaine
,
and
in
the
nyghte
tyme
stale
priuely
awaye
and
wente
to
Henry
.
Vnto
whome
there
chaunced
by
the
waye
that
was
worthy
to
bee
marked
,
whiche
was
that
Henry
,
althoughe
he
was
a
manne
of
noble
courage
and
also
his
companye
dyd
dailye
encrease
,
yet
for
all
that
he
stoode
in
great
feare
because
he
was
vncertayne
of
Thomas
Standly
whiche
as
I
telled
you
before
,
for
the
feare
of
puttynge
his
soonne
to
deathe
,
inclyned
as
yet
vnto
no
parte
,
&
that
the
matter
was
not
so
slender
of
kyng
Richard
as
reporte
was
made
to
hym
of
his
frendes
.
Wherfore
,
as
all
afrayde
withoute
a
cause
,
he
tooke
onely
twenty
menne
with
him
,
and
steyed
in
his
iourney
as
a
manne
in
dispaire
and
halfe
musynge
with
hym selfe
what
was
beste
to
bee
dooen
,
and
to
aggrauate
the
matter
,
tidinges
was
broughte
hym
that
kyng
Richard
was
comming
nere
to
mete
hym
with
a
great
and
houge
hoste
of
menne
.
And
while
he
thus
lyngered
for
feare
behinde
,
his
hoste
came
afore
to
the
toune
of
Tham
worth
,
and
because
it
was
then
darke
night
,
he
lost
bothe
his
company
and
also
his
waye
,
then
wandryng
frome
place
to
place
,
at
laste
came
to
a
lytle
village
.iii.
myle
from
his
hoste
being
full
of
feare
and
leste
he
should
fall
into
the
daunger
of
scoute
watche
he
durste
not
aske
a
questyon
of
any
man
,
and
partly
for
the
feare
that
was
presente
,
partely
for
that
was
to
come
he
laye
there
that
nyght
and
tooke
this
for
a
sygne
or
a
pronosticacyon
of
some
greate
plage
that
was
to
come
,
and
of
the
other
parte
his
hoste
was
no
lesse
abashed
seyng
his
absence
for
that
tyme
.
When
in
the
morning
Henry
came
to
theim
in
the
light
of
the
daye
he
excused
the
matter
that
he
was
not
absent
because
he
had
lost
his
waye
but
rather
of
purpose
,
because
he
would
commen
with
his
preuy
frendes
which
would
not
be
sene
in
the
daye
.
After
that
he
went
priuely
to
Aderstone
where
Thomas
Standley
&
Willyam
his
brother
dyd
dwell
.
Here
Henry
,
Thomas
,
&
Willyam
mette
and
tooke
other
by
the
hande
with
louing
salutacions
and
were
glad
one
of
an
other
.
Then
after
,
they
counceled
together
of
their
metyng
with
kyng
Richard
whome
they
perceyued
then
not
to
bee
farre
from
theim
.
That
day
when
it
drewe
toward
night
,
in
the
euening
Ihon
Sauage
Brytanne
Sanforde
,
Simon
Digby
with
many
other
had
forsaken
,
kyng
Richarde
&
came
to
Henry
with
a
great
power
of
men
,
whiche
thyng
both
with
power
and
strengthe
sate
Henry
alofte
again
.
In
the
meane
season
kyng
Richard
which
purposed
to
go●
thorow
thicke
and
thinne
in
this
mater
came
to
Bosworthe
alitell
beyond
Leicestre
where
the
place
of
batell
should
bee
(
as
a
manne
would
saye
the
hye
iustice
of
God
,
whiche
coulde
not
bee
auoided
hanging
ouer
his
hed
,
had
called
hym
to
a
place
where
he
should
suffer
worthy
punyshemente
for
his
detestable
offenees
)
and
there
he
sette
vp
his
tentes
and
rested
that
night
.
Afore
he
went
to
bed
he
made
an
oration
to
his
companye
with
greate
vehemence
,
perswading
&
exhorting
manfully
to
fight
.
And
afterward
,
as
it
was
saied
he
had
a
terrible
dreame
in
his
slepe
seming
that
he
sawe
horrible
deuilles
appere
vnto
hym
&
pulling
and
haling
of
hym
that
he
coulde
take
no
rest
,
which
visyon
fylled
hym
full
of
feare
&
also
of
heuy
care
when
he
waked
.
For
by
and
by
after
,
being
sore
greued
in
his
minde
,
he
did
prognosticate
of
this
dreame
the
euill
luke
&
heuy
chaunce
that
after
came
to
hym
,
and
he
came
not
with
so
cherful
a
countenaunce
vnto
his
company
as
he
was
wonte
to
dooe
.
Then
leest
they
should
thinke
that
he
had
this
heauinesse
for
the
feare
of
his
enemies
he
stoode
vp
&
rehersed
vnto
theim
all
his
dreame
.
But
I
thinke
that
this
was
not
a
dreame
,
but
rather
his
conscience
pricked
with
the
sharpe
stynge
of
his
mischeuous
offences
,
which
although
they
dooe
not
pricke
alwaye
,
yet
most
commenly
they
wil
byte
moste
towarde
the
latter
daye
,
representyng
vnto
vs
not
onely
them selfe
,
but
also
the
terryble
punyshement
that
is
ordeined
for
the
same
,
as
the
syghte
of
the
deuill
tearyng
and
haling
vs
,
so
that
therby
(
if
we
haue
grace
)
we
may
take
an
occasyon
to
bee
penitent
,
or
elles
for
lacke
of
the
same
dye
in
desperacyon
.
Nowe
to
come
to
my
purpose
again
,
the
nexte
daye
after
,
kyng
Richard
hauing
all
thynges
in
a
redynesse
went
for
the
with
the
army
oute
of
his
tentes
,
&
beganne
to
sette
his
men
in
araye
:
fyrst
the
forward
set
forth
with
a
meruelous
lengthe
bothe
of
horsemen
and
also
of
footemen
,
a
veray
terrible
companye
to
theim
that
should
see
theim
a
farre
of
:
and
in
the
formost
parte
of
all
he
ordered
the
bowmen
as
a
stronge
fortresse
for
theim
that
came
after
,
and
ouer
this
Iohn
the
duke
of
Norffolke
was
hedde
capitaine
.
After
hym
folowed
the
kyng
with
a
mightye
sorte
of
menne
.
And
in
this
while
,
Henry
beyng
departed
from
the
communicacion
of
his
frendes
without
any
tariyng
pytched
his
tentes
nere
his
enemies
and
laye
there
all
nighte
and
commaunded
his
men
to
bee
in
a
redinesse
,
in
the
morninge
he
sente
also
to
Thomas
Standley
being
then
in
the
middes
,
betwixt
bothe
hostes
that
he
should
come
nere
with
his
armye
.
He
sent
hym
woorde
again
that
he
should
set
his
menne
in
an
ordre
tyll
he
came
,
with
the
which
answer
otherwise
then
he
had
thought
or
then
the
mater
dyd
require
,
he
was
not
alitel
abashed
and
stoode
as
it
were
in
doubte
.
Yet
for
all
that
he
taryed
not
but
with
all
spede
set
his
menne
in
an
ordre
,
the
forward
was
but
slender
,
because
his
noumber
was
but
fewe
,
the
archers
were
set
in
the
formost
parte
Ouer
theim
Iohn
the
earle
of
Oxford
was
hedde
capitain
.
In
the
ryght
wing
he
sette
Gilbert
Talbot
.
In
the
lefte
he
put
Iohn
Sauage
.
And
he
him selfe
with
the
helpe
of
Thomas
Standley
folowed
with
one
companye
of
horsemen
and
a
fewe
footemen
,
for
all
his
whole
company
were
scant
fyue
.
M
besides
the
bothe
Stanleys
with
their
company
,
of
the
which
Willyam
Standley
had
thre
.
M.
The
kinges
army
was
double
to
all
this
.
And
so
when
bothe
armyes
were
all
in
a
redinesse
and
beganne
for
to
come
within
the
sight
of
other
they
bragged
forth
theim selfes
of
bothe
parties
,
looking
onely
for
the
sygne
and
token
of
striking
together
.
Betwyxte
bothe
hostes
,
there
was
a
marresse
whiche
Henrye
lefte
on
his
ryghte
hande
purposelye
as
a
defence
of
his
menne
,
he
found
the
meanes
also
to
haue
the
bryght
sunne
on
his
backe
,
that
it
myght
dasyll
the
eyes
of
his
enemyes
.
But
the
Kyng
when
the
sawe
Henry
passe
ouer
the
marras
commaunded
his
men
with
all
violence
to
set
vpon
theim
.
They
by
and
by
with
a
sodein
clamour
lette
arrowes
flee
at
theim
.
On
the
other
syde
they
paied
theim
home
manfully
again
with
the
same
.
But
when
they
came
nere
together
they
laied
on
valeauntly
with
swerdes
.
The
earle
of
Oxforde
fearing
least
in
the
meane
time
kyng
Richardes
multytude
should
haue
compassed
in
his
menne
whiche
wer
but
a
fewe
,
he
commaunded
theim
by
fyues
they
should
not
moue
forwarde
paste
ten
fote
the
whiche
commaundement
knowen
when
they
knitte
theim selfes
together
and
seased
not
in
fyghting
:
their
aduersaries
beyng
afrayed
suspected
som
crafte
or
guyle
&
began
to
breake
of
and
many
of
the
same
parte
wer
not
much
greued
therwith
,
because
they
wer
as
glad
the
king
should
be
loste
as
saued
,
&
therfore
they
fought
with
lesse
courage
.
Then
the
erle
of
Oxford
with
his
menne
thicke
together
stroke
on
more
freshlyer
.
The
other
of
the
other
parte
dyd
likwyse
the
same
.
And
while
the
firste
wardes
of
the
batell
had
fought
so
manfully
.
Richard
perceiued
by
his
spies
Henry
a
farre
of
with
a
fewe
companye
of
armed
menne
.
Afterward
,
comming
nere
,
Richard
knewe
hym
by
sygnes
and
tokens
,
then
being
inflamed
with
anger
,
furiouslye
stroke
the
horse
with
the
spurres
and
ranne
out
of
the
one
syde
of
the
hoste
,
and
like
a
Lyon
ranne
at
hym
.
On
the
other
syde
,
Henry
perceiuing
hym
commyng
,
was
very
desyrouse
to
mete
hym
.
Richard
at
the
fyrste
setting
forth
,
kylled
diuers
that
stode
,
again
he
threwe
doune
Henry
his
banner
and
Willyam
Brandon
the
bearer
also
,
he
ranne
at
Cheyny
a
manne
of
great
mighte
whiche
came
for
to
mete
hym
,
and
with
greate
violence
ouerthrewe
hym
to
the
grounde
,
and
this
he
made
hymself
awaie
through
theim
,
for
to
come
to
Henry
.
But
Henry
kept
better
tacke
with
hym
than
his
men
would
haue
thought
,
whiche
then
was
allmoste
in
despayre
of
the
victory
.
And
euen
at
the
tyme
lo
there
came
Wyllyam
Stanley
to
aide
theim
with
.iii.
M.
menne
,
and
euen
at
the
verie
same
tyme
the
residue
of
kyng
Richardes
men
were
put
to
flight
Then
Richard
fightyng
alone
in
the
middest
of
all
his
enemies
was
ouerthrowne
&
slain
.
In
the
meane
tyme
th
erle
of
Oxenford
in
the
foreward
after
he
had
fought
manfully
a
litle
while
,
put
the
residue
to
flight
of
whom
he
slewe
a
greate
nombre
.
But
agreate
nombre
more
whiche
folowed
Richard
more
for
feare
then
for
loue
,
helde
their
handes
from
fightyng
&
went
awaie
without
hurte
,
for
that
thei
loked
not
for
his
safegard
,
but
rather
for
his
destruccion
.
There
were
slain
at
this
conflicte
not
many
more
then
one
thousand
,
of
the
whiche
these
were
noble
menne
.
Ihon
duke
of
Norffolke
Walter
Feris
Robert
Brachyngbury
,
Richard
Radcliffe
and
many
other
more
.
And
within
twoo
daies
after
Wyllyam
Catisby
lawyer
with
certain
other
of
his
felowes
was
put
to
death
at
Leicestre
,
and
emonges
those
the
ranne
awaie
,
was
Fraunces
Louell
,
Humfray
Stafford
,
with
Thomas
his
brother
and
other
more
that
ranne
into
sanctuary
at
Colchestre
in
Essex
.
There
was
of
the
captiues
a
greate
nombre
,
because
that
when
Richard
was
slain
,
euery
manne
cast
doune
his
wepon
and
yeld
hymself
to
Henry
,
of
the
whiche
the
more
parte
would
haue
dooen
so
at
the
begynnyng
,
if
it
had
not
been
for
feare
of
kyng
Richardes
spies
,
whiche
then
wandered
in
euery
place
.
And
emongest
these
the
nobles
,
were
the
erle
of
Northumberlande
the
erle
of
Surrey
of
the
whiche
th
erle
of

was

This

in

of

howres
Richard
might
(
as
the
fame
went
)
asaued
hymself
if
he
would
afled
awaie
,
for
those
that
were
about
hym
when
thei
sawe
his
menne
from
the
begynnyng
fight
but
faintly
and
that
some
were
ronne
awaie
vnto
the
other
parte
,
suspected
treason
and
willed
hym
to
flie
and
when
the
mater
was
manifest
that
all
hope
of
victory
was
past
,
thei
brought
hym
a
swi●te
horse
.
He
puttyng
a
sied
all
hope
and
trust
that
was
in
fleiyng
,
made
(
as
it
was
saied
)
this
aunswere
that
this
daie
he
would
haue
ether
an
ende
of
battaill
orels
of
his
life
,
suche
was
his
greate
audacite
and
manfulnes
whiche
because
he
did
se
certainly
that
in

he
should

,
and
all

And
plainly
this
is
an
example
whiche
cannot
be

,
to
feare
theim
whiche
will
not
suffer

to

Henry
when
he
had
thus
obtained
the
victorye
he
fell
downe
on
his
knees
and
with
many
praiers
&
thankes
,
referred
all
to
the
goodnes
of
God
.
Then
after
he
stode
vp
beyng
wounderfully
replenished
with
ioye
,
&
went
vp
vpon
alitle
hill
and
there
gaue
two
greate
comendacions
to
his
souldyours
commaundyng
theim
that
were
hurte
to
be
heled
and
the
dede
to
bee
buryed
,
afterward
he
gaue
immortall
thankes
to
his
noble
capitains
promisyng
theim
that
he
would
neuer
forgette
their
benifite
The
multitude
in
the
meane
tyme
with
one
voyce
&
one
mynd
proclaimed
hym
kyng
.
When
Thomas
Stanley
sawe
the
,
he
toke
kyng
Richardes
croune
whiche
was
founde
emongest
the
spoyle
,
and
by
&
by
putte
it
vpon
his
head
as
though
he
had
been
then
created
kyng
by
the
eleccion
of
the
people
as
it
was
wonte
to
bee
in
the
olde
tyme
,
and
this
was
the
first
token
of
his
felicite
.
After
this
,
kyng
Henry
with
his
compaignie
and
carriage
went
to
Lecestre
toward
night
to
bed
,
whether
after
he
had
refresshed
his
compaignie
well
for
the
space
of
twoo
daies
,
that
thei
might
the
better
goo
toward
London
:
Kyng
Richardes
bodye
was
brought
naked
ouer
a
horse
backe
,
the
hed
and
the
armes
hangyng
on
the
one
side
and
the
legges
on
the
other
,
&
caried
in
to
the
grey
freres
of
Lecester
,
and
surely
it
was
but
a
myserable
sight
to
loke
vpon
,
yet
it
was
good
inough
consideryng
his
wretched
leuyng
,
and
there
without
any
solempnite
was
buryed
twoo
dayes
after
.
He
raygned
twoo
yeres
twoo
monethes
&
one
daie
,
he
was
but
of
a
small
stature
hauyng
but
a
deformed
bodie
,
the
one
shoulder
was
higher
then
the
other
,
he
had
a
shorte
face
&
a
cruell
looke
whiche
did
betoken
malice
,
guyle
and
deceite
.
And
while
he
did
muse
vpon
any
thing
standing
,
he
would
byte
his
vnder
lippe
continually
,
whereby
a
manne
might
perceiue
his
cruell
nature
within
his
wreched
bodie
striued
and
chaffed
alwaie
with
in
hym self
,
also
the
dagger
whiche
he
bare
aboute
hym
,
he
would
alwaies
bee
choppyng
of
it
in
and
out
he
had
a
sharpe
and
pregnaunt
witt
,
subtill
and
to
dessimule
and
fayne
verie
mete
.
He
had
also
a
proude
and
cruell
mynde
,
whiche
neuer
went
from
him
to
the
houre
of
his
death
,
whiche
he
had
rather
suffer
by
the
cruell
sworde
,
though
all
his
compaignie
did
forsake
hym
then
by
shamefull
flight
he
would
fauoure
his
life
,
whiche
after
might
fortune
by
sickenes
or
other
condynge
ponyshement
shortely
to
perishe

Henry
the

HENRY
THE
SEVENTH
OF
that
name
kyng
of
England
.
First
after
that
he
had
obteined
his
kyngdome
and
heritage
by
force
of
armes
,
entended
to
stablishe
all
thynges
&
extynguish
sedicion
,
and
before
he
departed
from
Leycester
,
caused
ser
Robert
Willoughby
knight
to
bryng
the
young
erle
of
Warwike
the
duke
of
Clarences
soone
before
his
presence
(
whom
kyng
Richard
to
that
tyme
had
kept
at
Sheryhutton
in
Yorke
shire
)
fearyng
muche
,
least
that
by
this
young
erle
some
occasion
might
bee
taken
of
renuyng
battaill
,
whiche
entended
nothyng
more
then
to
liue
in
peace
and
quietnes
.
And
so
this
erle
was
brought
to
hym
,
&
at
his
commaundement
conueighed
to
London
,
and
there
cast
in
holde
,
In
the
self
same
place
also
of
Yorke
shire
,
was
Ladie
Elizabeth
eldest
doughter
to
the
fornamed
kyng
Edwarde
,
whom
kyng
Rychard
her
vncle
would
haue
maried
sore
against
the
mynde
and
consent
of
the
same
ladie
.
In
so
muche
also
that
the
people
were
sore
against
it
,
and
accompted
it
not
onely
as
a
reproche
&
infamie
to
the
kyng
hymself
,
but
also
to
his
counsaill
the
did
agre
to
his
naughtie
purpose
.
Albeit
,
God
of
his
infinite
mercy
preserued
the
ladie
,
whiche
shorte
tyme
after
was
brought
to
London
to
her
mother
.
In
this
time
the
kyng
drawing
nighe
to
London
,
was
there
accepted
of
his
citezens
streyghte
after
his
comming
moste
roially
,
&
of
all
parties
saluted
after
the
moste
louing
fassion
the
they
could
deuyse
geuing
thankes
to
God
with
solempne
procession
for
that
he
had
sent
theim
a
king
to
gouerne
the
realme
which
before
was
ruled
by
a
cruel
&
hateful
Tirant
After
this
gratulacion
and
thank
esgeuing
,
the
kyng
at
a
daye
appointed
assembled
his
counsail
,
to
the
ende
he
mighte
marie
the
Ladie
Elizabeth
,
thorowe
the
which
mariage
aswell
the
nobilitee
as
communes
of
the
realme
wer
brought
in
good
hope
that
all
thinges
should
bee
redressed
,
&
an
end
made
of
all
sedicion
and
strife
for
euer
.
And
at
this
Parliament
holden
&
kept
at
Westminster
he
was
created
kyng
the
day
of
October
,
in
the
yere
of
oure
Lorde
a.
M.
foure
C
.lxxxvi.
Whiche
kyngdome
he
enioyed
as

enointed
,
for

doo●
reporte
aboute
seuen
hundreth
foure
score
and
seuentene
yeres
paste
Cadwallader
laste
Kynge
of
Englande
prophecied
that
his
progenye
shoulde
beare
rule
and
dominion
again
.
So
that
by
this
meanes
,
men
did
fully
perswade
theim selfes
that
he
was
p̄●estinate
to
it
.
And
the
rather
also
they
did
beleue
it
because
that
kyng
Henry
the
sixte
did
foresaye
the
same
,
and
in
like
maner
prophecy
of
hym
.
Therfore
he
being
thus
proclaimed
as
true
enheretour
of
the
crowne
,
and
at
the
same
Parliament
created
kyng
,
did
first
cause
to
bee
published
,
that
all
suche
should
bee
pardoned
that
would
submit
theim selfes
to
his
grace
,
&
as
faithful

doo
to
hym
due
allegiaunce
,
other
that
absented
theim selfes
,
to
bee
taken
as
rebelles
&
traitours
.
After
the
whiche
proclamacion
hard
,
many
the

in
holde
and
sanctuaries
,
came
for
pardon
and
safetie
of

so
submitting

●er
pardoned
&
enhaunced
to
honoure
,
euery
man
after

When
the
kyng
had
taken
these
menne
to
bee
of
his
councell
for
the
wealth
of
his
realme
,
he
maried
Ladye
Elizabeth
doughter
to
kyng
Edward
as
he
had
promised
for
the
which
,
he
had
the
heartes
of
many
menne
.
So
that
afterwarde
he
had
no
nede
to
feare
the
assaultes
of
any
persones
or
the
coniuracions
of
rebelles
.
Neuerthelesse
,
considering
the
chaunce
he
had
before
,
and
the
falshode
the
is
in
many
menne
from
their
youth
,
made
yomen
of
the
garde
for
his
bodye
,
the
whiche
he
firste
of
all
Englyshe
Kynges
caused
to
bee
,
and
as
it
is
thought
he
did
take
it
of
the
Frenche
kyng
.
Also
The
garde
fyrste
ordeined
by
kinge
Henry
the
vii
.
after
this
he
caused
a
parliament
to
bee
had
,
wher
in
was
made
and
decreed
certayne
lawes
,
actes
&
statutes
for
the
wealthe
of
his
realme
.
In
this
yere
a
newe
sickenesse
did
reigne
,
and
is
so
sore
and
painfull
,
as
neuer
was
suffered
before
,
the
whiche
was
called
the
burning
sweate
.
The
sweating
sickenesse
.
And
this
was
so
intollerable
,
that
men
coulde
not
kepe
their
beddes
,
but
as
lunatike
persons
&
oute
of
their
wittes
ranne
about
naked
,
so
that
none
almoste
escaped
the
wer
infected
therwith
.
At
the
length
after
the
great
death
of
many
a
thousande
menne
they
learned
a
presente
remedye
for
the
same
dysease
,
that
is
,
yf
he
were
sycke
of
that
sweate
in
the
daye
,
that
he
should
streyghtelye
downe
with
his
clothes
and
vestures
,
yf
in
the
nighte
,
that
he
should
not
rise
for
the
space
of
.xxiiii.
houres
,
and
eate
no
meate
at
all
,
yf
he
coulde
forbeare
,
and
drinke
as
litle
as
he
mighte
.
This
disease
reigned
throughout
all
England
wherof
also
ensued
a
plague
,
as
a
token
,
and
as
the
people
iudged
,
a
plaine
argument
that
kyng
Henrye
shoulde
neuer
bee
oute
of
feare
and
dreade
of
some
mischaunce
,
seing
that
he
was
in
suche
great
vexacyon
at
the
sedicyous
tumulte
that
was
rysen
al
the
claimynge
of
the
crowne
.
When
all
thynges
wer
apeaced
in
London
,
and
ordered
after
his
owne
mynd
,
he
rode
Northward
in
progresse
to
pacifie
all
his
realme
,
and
especially
those
partes
where
the
firste
commocion
was
,
and
where
also
wer
priuie
and
cloked
frendes
of
his
aduersaries
.
But
because
it
was
nigh
Easter
,
he
tooke
his
waye
to
Lincolne
,
and
there
tariyng
was
certified
that
the
Lorde
Louell
and
Humfre
Stafforde
were
gone
from
the
sanctuary
in
Colchester
,
but
to
what
place
or
whether
,
no
man
could
tell
,
whiche
message
the
kyng
litle
regardyng
,
went
foorth
as
he
apointed
to
Yorke
,
and
when
he
came
The
commocion
made
by
the
lord
Louell
and
the
lorde
Stafforde
.
there
,
it
was
shewed
hym
that
the
lorde
Louell
was
at
hand
with
a
strong
power
of
menne
,
and
woulde
inuade
the
cytie
,
also
that
the
said
lorde
Stafforde
and
his
brother
wer
in
Glocestre
,
and
there
had
made
an
insurreccion
,
and
set
menne
on
euery
parte
to
defende
the
gates
and
walles
of
the
citie
.
At
the
first
hearyng
of
this
,
the
kyng
was
but
litle
moued
,
but
after
that
he
was
certified
by
the
letters
of
his
frendes
that
it
was
true
,
he
was
in
greate
feare
,
for
that
he
had
neyther
an
armye
prepared
,
nor
harnyes
for
theim
,
but
because
the
mattier
required
haste
,
least
that
by
long
taryeng
,
his
aduersaries
power
might
bee
encreased
and
multiplyed
,
he
commaunded
the
Duke
of
Bedforde
to
mete
theim
with
three
thousande
menne
,
whiche
were
harnysed
but
barely
,
for
theyr
breste
plates
were
for
the
moste
parte
lether
.
And
he
hym selfe
in
that
meane
tyme
would
gather
vp
an
hoste
,
where
he
might
in
euery
place
.
The
duke
hauyng
his
men
nigh
to
the
tentes
of
his
enemyes
,
consulted
with
certain
of
his
compaignie
,
by
what
waye
he
mighte
traine
theim
to
peace
,
withoute
bloodde
shedyng
.
After
the
whiche
deliberation
&
aduisement
had
,
it
was
decreed
that
certaine
shoulde
proclaime
openly
,
that
all
thei
should
haue
their
pardonne
,
that
woulde
leaue
battaile
.
The
whiche
proclamation
auayled
muche
,
,
for
the
Lorde
Louell
,
eyther
for
some
feare
,
or
mystrust
that
he
had
in
his
people
,
,
or
feryng
hym selfe
of
his
owne
behalfe
,
fledde
pryuely
in
a
night
from
his
compaignie
,
to
Lankeshire
&
ther
remained
a
space
with
syr
Thomas
Broghton
knight
.
And
when
hys
army
had
knowledge
therof
,
thei
also
submittyng
theim selfes
all
to
the
Duke
,
asked
pardonne
for
their
heinous
offence
.
The
Lorde
Stafforde
also
hearyng
this
,
was
in
a
great
agony
,
and
for
feare
dyd
take
sanctuarye
at
Colname
.ii.
miles
from
Abindon
.
But
because
that
sanetuary
was
not
a
defence
for
traytours
,
he
was
taken
from
that
place
and
behedded
,
and
his
brother
was
pardoned
because
he
was
thought
not
to
haue
done
it
of
his
owne
will
,
but
thorowe
the
counsaill
and
perswasion
of
his
brother
.
After
this
businesse
was
asswaged
and
Yorke
shyre
set
in
peace
and
quietnes
,
the
Kyng
went
to
London
,
and
shortelye
after
that
to
Wynchester
,
where
the
Quene
his
wyfe
,
was
deliuered
of
a
Prynce
called
Arthure
,
and
from
Wynchester
he
retourned
agayne
to
London
.
Sone
after
it
chaunsed
that
one
syr
Richard
Symond
preest
,
borne
by
nature
to
be
a
traytour
and
sedicious
personne
,
and
yet
well
learned
,
had
a
chyld
called
Lambert
Symenel
to
bee
hys
scholar
,
by
whome
he
inuented
this
crafte
and
disceat
that
he
woulde
make
the
chyld
kyng
of
England
and
hym selfe
archebyshoppe
,
or
some
hygh
potestate
in
the
realme
,
for
he
knewe
verely
,
that
many
menne
supposed
kyng
Edwardes
chyldren
to
bee
fled
into
some
straunge
place
,
and
that
Edwarde
the
Erle
of
Warwyke
,
sonne
to
the
Duke
of
Clarence
ether
was
or
should
bee
put
to
death
shortly
And
to
the
ende
he
myght
the
better
bryng
hys
purpose
about
,
he
taught
the
chyld
bothe
learnyng
&
good
maners
,
and
also
to
order
hym selfe
,
as
one
linially
descendyng
from
a
hygh
progenie
.
Sone
after
the
rumoure
was
,
that
the
younge
Earle
of
Warwyke
was
dead
in
prysonne
.
And
when
the
preest
heard
of
this
,
he
intendyng
therby
to
bring
his
matters
aboute
,
chaunged
the
chyldes
name
and
called
hym
Edwarde
,
after
the
younge
Earle
of
Warwyke
,
the
whiche
were
boothe
of
one
age
,
and
then
sayled
into
Irelande
,
there
opening
his
mynde
to
certain
of
the
nobilitee
,
whome
he
knew
to
beare
but
lytle
fauoure
to
Kyng
Henry
,
where
he
was
promysed
ayde
of
the
Lorde
Gerardine
chauncellour
of
all
that
countree
,
and
all
that
he
coulde
dooe
.
Whyche
Lorde
,
fyrst
callyng
all
hys
frendes
and
louers
together
,
desyred
their
helpe
in
restoryng
the
yong
Earle
to
his
herytage
.
And
dyd
sende
certain
into
Englande
to
desire
theym
that
were
kynge
Rychardes
frendes
to
continue
in
their
loue
and
faythfulnes
towardes
hym
,
and
helpe
hys
nephiewes
chylde
to
his
ryghte
.
And
that
hys
power
myghte
bee
the
stronger
to
ouercome
hys
enemyes
,
he
desyred
Lady
Margarete
syster
to
kynge
Edwarde
,
and
wyfe
to
the
Duke
of
Burgondy
,
to
further
hys
purpose
with
her
helpe
,
whyche
lady
beyng
then
in
Flaunders
,
promised
him
by
the
messaungers
,
that
she
would
not
onely
maintaine
his
entente
with
large
mony
and
substaunce
,
but
with
all
the
laboure
and
peynes
that
she
myght
occasion
other
,
to
be
of
the
same
conspiracie
.
When
kynge
Henrye
was
certified
of
thys
,
he
was
sore
greued
,
that
by
the
meanes
of
suche
a
myscreaunte
personne
,
so
great
sedicion
should
bee
,
neuerthelesse
,
the
kynge
consideringe
that
it
shoulde
bee
to
the
destruccion
of
manye
menne
,
yf
that
he
shoulde
fyghte
with
his
enemies
in
open
feelde
,
called
hys
counsayle
together
at
the
Charter
house
besyde
Rychemounde
,
and
there
consulted
to
pacifie
thys
matter
wythoute
anye
more
dysturbaunce
.
Where
fyrste
it
was
decreed
,
that
all
thei
shoulde
bee
pardoned
for
their
offences
and
treasons
latelye
commytted
,
whiche
hath
frome
that
tyme
,
borne
theim selfes
vpryght
towardes
their
kinge
,
leaste
that
syr
Thomas
Broghton
whyche
kepte
the
Lord
Louell
from
the
king
a
great
tyme
,
wyth
other
despeyring
of
theyr
pardon
shoulde
haue
made
some
sodaine
insurrection
agaynst
hym
.
Further
more
,
that
men
shoulde
not
thyncke
,
but
that
the
Duke
of
Clarence
was
in
Englande
,
it
was
appoynted
that
he
shoulde
showe
hym selfe
abrode
,
wherby
the
opynion
that
he
was
in
Ireland
myghte
bee
frustrate
,
and
accompted
as
a
lye
.
Also
it
was
further
determyned
that
the
Ladye
Elysabeth
wyfe
to
kyng
Edward
the
.iiii.
shoulde
lose
al
her
landes
,
because
she
had
submitted
her selfe
and
her
doughters
wholye
to
the
handes
of
kynge
Rychard
,
contrary
to
the
promyse
made
to
the
Lordes
and
nobles
,
whyche
at
her
desyre
lefte
al
that
they
had
in
Englande
and
fledde
to
kynge
Henrye
in
Brytayne
,
and
there
dyd
sweare
hym
to
marye
her
eldeste
daughter
,
as
she
wylled
theim
to
dooe
.
But
her
purpose
did
not
frame
as
(
God
would
)
Thys
quene
buylded
a
Collage
in
Cambrydge
,
and
gaue
landes
to
the
maynteyning
of
the
same
whiche
at
thys
houre
is
called
the
quenes
Collage
.
When
thys
order
and
determynacion
of
the
kynge
was
ended
,
he
wente
to
London
,
and
the
nexte
Sondaye
folowynge
he
caused
the
young
Earle
to
bee
broughte
out
of
the
Tower
through
the
streetes
to
Poules
.
And
there
to
shewe
hym selfe
to
euerye
bodye
,
and
taske
with
the
chiefe
and
noble
menne
that
were
thoughte
to
haue
conspyred
agaynste
kynge
Henrye
,
for
thys
cause
that
they
myghte
perceaue
the
Iryshe
menne
to
moue
battayle
vnaduysedly
,
and
cause
stryfe
vppon
no
iuste
occasion
,
howebeit
,
all
thys
nothyng
auayled
,
for
the
Earle
of
Lyncolne
,
the
Duke
of
Suffolkes
soonne
,
and
nephewe
to
kynge
Edwarde
,
coulde
not
suffer
kynge
Henrye
thus
to
reygne
,
but
as
a
traytoure
sayled
into
Flaunders
to
the
Ladye
Margarete
,
takynge
wyth
hym
Syr
Thomas
Broghton
,
with
certayne
other
,
Where
also
,
the
Lorde
Louell
landed
twoo
or
three
dayes
before
.
And
there
they
beynge
all
together
,
determyned
that
the
Earle
of
Lyncolne
and
the
Lorde
Louell
shoulde
goo
to
Irelande
,
and
there
attend
vpon
the
counterfeyte
Earle
,
and
brynge
hym
to
Englande
with
all
the
power
they
myghte
agaynste
kynge
Henrye
.
So
that
yf
their
dooynges
had
good
successe
that
then
the
foresayde
Lambarte
(
misnamed
the
Earle
)
shoulde
by
the
consente
of
the
counsayle
be
deposed
,
and
the
true
Earle
to
bee
delyuered
oute
of
pryson
and
enherite
his
right
,
and
iuste
tytle
of
his
dominion
.
But
the
kyng
,
not
mistrusting
any
man
to
bee
so
foolysh
hardy
as
to
fyght
in
such
a
cause
,
or
anye
so
vndyscrete
(
especiallye
of
hys
realme
)
as
to
beleue
it
,
dyd
onelye
mynde
the
suppressynge
of
the
Iryshe
menne
,
and
theyr
enterpryse
to
subdue
.
Yet
hearynge
that
the
Earle
of
Lyncolne
with
other
were
fledde
,
and
gooen
to
hys
aduersaries
,
he
caused
the
borders
to
bee
dilygentlye
kepte
that
none
other
myghte
escape
or
geue
theym
socoure
,
and
commynge
to
the
abbaye
of
Sayncte
Edmundes
Burye
,
it
was
certified
that
the
Lorde
Thomas
Marques
was
come
to
excuse
and
pourge
hym selfe
before
hym
,
for
certayne
thynges
that
he
was
suspected
,
to
whome
the
kynge
dyd
sende
the
Earle
of
Oxford
to
take
him
commynge
,
and
conueyghe
hym
to
the
Towre
of
London
,
for
thys
cause
,
that
yf
he
were
his
frende
,
as
he
was
in
dede
,
that
he
should
not
bee
myscontented
to
suffer
a
lytle
imprysonmente
for
the
safetie
of
hys
kynge
,
yf
he
were
not
hys
frende
,
there
to
tarye
that
he
myghte
haue
no
damage
or
hurte
by
hym
.
And
so
the
kynge
wente
forthe
to
Norwyche
and
tariynge
there
Christemas
daye
,
went
after
to
Walsingham
,
and
from
thence
to
Cambridge
and
so
streyght
to
London
.
In
this
tyme
the
erle
of
Lincolne
,
&
the
lord
Louell
had
got
about
two
thousande
Germaynes
,
wyth
Martyn
Swarte
to
be
theyr
captayne
,
and
so
saylynge
to
Ireland
came
and
made
the
fornamed
Lambarte
kyng
of
Englande
at
Deuelynge
.
And
so
wyth
the
greate
multitude
of
Iryshe
menne
aswell
naked
and
vnarmed
personnes
,
as
other
that
the
Lorde
Gerardyne
had
vnder
hym
,
they
sayled
into
Englande
,
and
landed
for
a
purpose
wythin
a
lytle
of
Lancastre
,
trustynge
there
to
bee
ayded
of
Syr
Thomas
Broghton
the
chiefe
authoure
of
thys
conspiracie
.
The
kynge
not
slepynge
hys
mattiers
,
but
mystrustynge
that
such
thynges
shoulde
chaunce
sente
certayne
Knyghtes
,
throughe
all
the
Easte
parties
to
attende
the
commynge
of
hys
enemyes
,
and
gatherynge
all
hys
hooste
together
,
went
hym selfe
to
Couentree
,
where
he
beynge
,
it
was
certified
hym
that
the
Earle
of
Lyncolne
was
landed
at
Lancastre
wyth
the
newe

Whome
the

appoynted
to

agremente
of

counsayle
,
and
to

theym
wythoute
anye
farther
delaye
least
that
theyr
power
by
long
sufferaunce
should
bee
augmented
and
multiplyed
.
And
so
after
suche
aduisemente
taken
,
he
went
to
Notingham
,
and
there
by
a
lytle
woodde
called
Boures
he
pytched
hys
tentes
.
To

The
erle
of
Lyncolne
in
the
meane
season
went
forth
softely
with
his
compaignie
into
Yorkeshire
without
hurte
or
discommoditie
of
any
manne
that
dwelt
therabout
,
trustyng
partely
therby
,
&
ꝑtely
also
bycause
he
was
well
knowen
and
acquainted
emong
theim
,
that
he
should
get
greate
ayde
and
socour
there
.
But
when
he
perceiued
very
few
or
none
to
folowe
hym
,
and
that
he
could
not
(
seyng
his
enemies
were
so
nigh
hand
and
he
also
so
far
entred
)
in
safegard
with
his
hoste
returne
bacward
yet
he
thought
it
best
to
abyde
&
taste
the
chaunce
of
battaill
,
and
so
muche
that
rather
,
because
he
sawe
Henry
within
twoo
yeres
before
accompaign●ed
but
with
a
fewe
and
small
sorte
of
souldiers
ouercome
kyng
Richard
whiche
brought
with
hym
a
greate
hoste
of
well
armed
menne
.
Wherfore
he
,
beeyng
now
in
a
greate
hope
of
victory
,
toke
his
iorney
thens
towarde
Newarke
,
there
to
sette
his
souldyours
in
araye
and
mete
the
kyng
,
whom
he
knew
well
though
not
to
bee
paste
.ii.
dayes
iorney
from
hym
.
But
before
he
could
come
thither
,
kyng
Henry
whiche
was
surely
certified
of
all
thynges
that
he
did
or
went
about
,
came
to
Newarke
alitle
before
the
euen
that
thei
should
fight
on
that
morowe
other
wyse
then
the
erle
loked
for
,
and
there
tariyng
not
long
,
went
forth
three
myles
ferther
and
sette
his
tentes
and
taryed
all
night
.
Of
whose
commyng
although
th
erle
knewe
,
yet
he
went
foorth
lustely
of
his
tourney
and
came
that
night
to
a
village
nigh
to
his
enemies
,
which
is
called
Stooke
,
and
there
pitched
his
tentes
.
The
next
daie
,
the
kyng
so
sone
as
he
had
sette
his
souldyours
in
due
ordre
and
araye
,
went
forwarde
with
all
spede
to
the
place
where
the
erle
with
all
his
laye
.
To
the
whiche
place
,
when
he
was
come
,
&
had
appointed
the
felde
,
which
was
moste
mete
for
the
battaill
to
bee
fought
in
,
by
&
by
gaue
place
for
his
enemies
to
come
foorth
and
prouoked
theim
to
battaill
.
But
as
ready
as
he
was
to
prouoke
,
so
readie
wer
thei
of
their
owne
courage
to
come
foorth
:
so
that
of
bothe
parties
thei
ranne
to
battaill
and
fought
moste
egerly
,
in
whiche
tōflicte
it
did
euidently
appere
that
the
Germaines
whiche
were
sette
in
the
forewarde
,
whose
capitain
was
Martine
Swarte
,
were
nothyng
woorse
in
manlynesse
and
cheualry
(
which
thei
gotte
chiefly
by
daily
and
long
exercise
)
then
the
Englishemen
.
And
the
Ireshmen
although
thei
fought
verie
lustely
,
yet
by
the
reason
that
thei
ware
not
harnes
(
accordyng
to
their
fasshion
and
custome
)
were
discomfcited
and
beate
downe
bothe
more
in
nombre
,
and
soner
then
all
the
other
.
Yet
was
this
battaill
so
earnestlie
,
&
boldly
fought
for
a
whyle
of
bothe
parties
,
that
it
could
not
bee
wel
discerned
to
whiche
syde
the
victorie
would
incline
.
But
at
the
last
,
the
kynges
forewarde
which
there
abode
all
ieoperdie
,
so
lustely
&
couragiously
ranne
vpon
their
enemies
,
that
they
were
none
hable
to
resist
or
abyde
their
power
:
so
that
all
aswell
Germaines
as
Irish
men
were
there
slain
orels
made
to
flie
,
of
the
whiche
none
at
all
could
escape
awaie
.
Whiche
battaill
,
when
it
was
thus
dooen
,
all
menne
might
se
of
what
boldnes
&
audacitie
these
rebellions
were
.
For
their
capitaines
Ihon
erle
of
Lincolne
,
Francis
Louell
Thomas
Broghton
,
Martine
Swart
,
&
Thomas
Gerardine
neuer
gaue
backe
one
foote
but
were
slaine
all
in
the
same
place
where
thei
began
first
to
fight
.
There
were
kylled
at
that
vattaill
with
their
fiue
capitaines
spoken
of
euen
now
of
that
partie
about
foure
thousand
.
Of
the
kynges
part
there
were
not
halfe
of
theim
whiche
fought
in
the
forewarde
slain
.
Then
was
Lambert
,
the
child
whiche
was
falsly
reported
to
bee
the
Dukes
soonne
of
Clarence
,
and
his
maister
sir
Richard
Simond
preest
,
both
taken
,
but
neither
of
theim
putte
to
death
,
because
Lambert
was
yet
but
a
child
and
did
seme
to
dooe
that
,
more
by
compulsion
of
his
maister
than
of
his
owne
will
,
and
the
other
was
a
preest
whiche
for
his
defaulte
was
cast
into
perpetuall
prisone
.
But
this
Lambert
was
taken
into
the
Kynges
kechin
and
after
was
made
one
of
the
kynges
faukeners
and
is
yet
a
lyue
.
And
thus
was
all
that
Margarete
went
about
at
this
tyme
,
turned
to
naught
and
to
none
effecte
,
whiche
thyng
when
she
heard
tell
of
in
Flaunders
,
she
was
verie
lory
at
the
hearte
&
made
greate
mone
.
And
yet
could
she
not
bee
content
,
but
immediately
after
,
inuented
an
other
thyng
to
vexe
and
trouble
kyng
Henry
,
as
it
shal
be
shewed
here
after
.
Kyng
Henry
when
he
had
all
thynges
brought
thus
to
passe
,
and
vtterly
vanquisshed
these
his
enemies
,
thought
hymself
at
one
tyme
deliuered
from
twoo
eiuils
together
,
that
is
to
saie
,
from
bothe
feare
that
was
present
,
and
also
that
was
to
come
.
For
it
was
not
to
bee
thought
that
thei
whiche
were
so
fewe
in
nombre
durste
bee
so
bold
to
entre
into
the
realme
and
make
battaile
against
the
kyng
whom
they
knewe
wel
ynough
would
bryng
with
hym
a
great
and
well
armed
hooste
,
but
that
they
had
other
felowes
of
the
same
coniuracion
whiche
would
mete
and
ayde
theim
all
that
they
could
in
tyme
and
place
conuenient
.
Therefore
when
the
kyng
sawe
the
hoste
of
his
enemies
manifestly
before
his
eyes
,
he
commaunded
that
no
man
shoulde
kyll
the
earle
of
Lincolne
,
but
that
he
should
bee
brought
to
hym
alyue
,
to
the
entent
that
he
might
shewe
and
bewraye
all
the
other
whiche
were
of
the
conspiracie
.
But
that
the
sowdyers
would
not
do
,
least
the
sauyng
of
hym
,
should
bee
the
destruccion
(
as
it
should
haue
been
in
dede
)
of
many
other
.
This
battayle
was
fought
in
the
yeare
of
oure
Lorde
a
thousande
foure
hundreth
,
foure
score
,
&
the
seconde
yere
of
this
Henryes
reigne
.
In
the
whiche
yere
also
Thomas
Burscher
archebyshop
of
Canterburye
died
,
into
whose
roume
succeded
Iohn
Morton
late
bishop
of
Ely
,
whome
Alexander
of
that
name
the
sixte
bishop
of
Rome
made
Cardinall
.
Now
to
retourne
to
my
purpose
.
After
this
,
the
kyng
,
when
he
had
gathered
al
the
prayes
and
spoyles
together
,
and
had
buryed
theim
that
there
wer
slain
,
went
forth
to
Lincolne
and
there
taryed
three
dayes
,
and
had
euerye
daie
one
procession
to
thanke
God
almightie
that
he
had
the
ouerhande
of
his
enemies
.
And
incontynently
sent
his
banner
to
Walsyngham
to
be
consecrate
to
our
Lady
,
there
to
bee
kepte
for
a
perpetuall
mo●ument
of
victorie
.
Then
did
he
execucion
of
suche
rebellions
as
were
there
taken
,
&
shortely
after
tooke
his
iorneye
foorth
to
Yorke
,
and
there
likewyse
suche
as
were
founde
gyltye
dyd
he
punyshe
strayghtlye
.
When
all
this
was
dooen
,
he
wente
vnto
Newcastle
,
and
frome
thence
sente
into
Scotlande
Richarde
Foxe
whiche
not
longe
before
was
made
bishop
of
Exeter
,
and
Richarde
Edgecombe
knight
as
Ambassadoures
to
kynge
Iames
for
a
league
of
peace
.
For
this
Henrye
thought
it
a
great
pleasure
and
commoditee
,
to
bee
in
peace
and
concorde
with
kinges
&
gouernours
whiche
laye
aboute
this
his
realme
,
and
specially
and
before
all
other
with
kyng
Iames
,
because
that
there
no
rebellions
might
trust
(
whiche
otherwise
perchaunce
woulde
haue
trusted
)
to
haue
ayde
or
succoure
at
his
hande
:
so
that
thereby
there
durste
none
againe
take
weapon
against
hym
.
The
ambassadoures
,
when
they
wer
come
into
Scotland
to
the
kyng
,
were
of
hym
both
gently
and
after
the
moste
louing
fashion
receiued
and
heard
,
and
then
dyd
he
plainlye
declare
and
open
to
theim
that
he
hym selfe
loued
kyng
Henrye
and
his
,
no
man
〈◊〉
:
but
that
that
moste
parte
of
his
Scottes
and
subiectes
could
in
no
case
agree
with
the
English
menne
.
Wherfore
,
excepte
that
he
should
offend
or
〈…〉
se
theim
,
he
desired
the
legates
to
bee
content
with
truce
for
.vii.
yeres
in
promesse
,
but
in
dede
,
he
sayed
,
that
peace
betwene
theim
on
his
parte
shoulde
neuer
bee
broken
,
and
or
euer
those
seuen
yeres
should
bee
passed
,
that
he
would
geue
truce
for
seuen
yeres
lenger
:
so
that
kyng
Henry
and
he
would
euer
bee
in
peace
and
moste
assured
amytie
And
this
did
kyng
Iames
,
because
he
knewe
that
no
facte
of
his
people
,
shoulde
bee
alowed
.
When
the
Ambassadoures
hearde
this
,
they
tooke
the
yeres
that
were
offered
theim
,
as
concernynge
peace
,
and
by
and
by
retourned
home
to
kyng
Henry
againe
,
and
shewed
hym
all
the
mattier
in
ordre
.
With
the
whiche
tydynges
he
was
veraye
well
contented
.
Shortely
after
,
the
kyng
departed
thence
towarde
London
,
and
in
the
waye
at
Leicetre
mette
hym
Abassadoures
from
the
Frenche
kyng
which
shewed
hym
,
that
their
kyng
Charles
had
recouered
many
tounes
and
cyties
,
whiche
before
were
possessed
of
kyng
Maximilian
,
and
that
he
kepte
battayle
nowe
with
Fraunces
the
duke
of
Brytayne
,
because
he
kepte
and
socoured
in
his
dominion
certaine
that
were
traytours
and
rebellions
against
hym
,
of
the
whiche
the
chief
was
Lewes
duke
of
Orlyance
,
and
therfore
he
desyred
hym
of
his
frendship
&
familiaritie
,
that
either
he
would
helpe
hym
orelles
medle
of
neyther
partie
.
But
kynge
Henrye
,
althoughe
he
had
founde
muche
frendship
at
the
Frenche
kynges
hande
,
yet
for
as
muche
as
he
spyed
whereof
this
stryfe
beganne
,
with
this
message
was
not
well
contente
.
For
the
cause
that
the
Frenchemenne
tooke
battayle
,
was
because
they
sawe
that
the
Duke
was
an
olde
manne
and
had
neuer
a
chylde
,
and
thereby
that
they
myghte
brynge
that
Dukedome
into
their
subieccion
.
When
kyng
Henrye
perceiued
this
,
and
also
howe
louyng
the
Brytaynes
had
been
euer
to
Englande
,
and
finally
remembred
the
tendre
loue
which
was
betwene
the
duke
and
hym
,
thought
it
best
,
if
nede
wer
,
to
helpe
the
Britaynes
,
Yet
for
as
muche
as
he
had
founde
the
Frenche
kyng
veray
kynde
in
tymes
past
,
and
had
partely
by
his
helpe
recouered
his
kyngdome
,
he
was
veraye
lothe
to
medle
:
in
so
muche
that
he
coulde
not
well
tell
what
was
best
in
this
mattier
to
bee
dooen
.
But
at
the
laste
he
fully
purposed
,
if
necessitie
shoulde
require
,
to
helpe
the
duke
in
all
that
he
might
.
Yet
,
least
he
should
make
of
his
highe
frende
hys
extreme
enemie
,
his
aunswere
was
to
the
ambassadoures
,
that
he
did
intende
to
make
their
kyng
and
the
duke
frendes
again
.
Wherfore
assone
as
the
Frenche
kynges
ambassadoures
were
dimissed
,
he
sent
on
message
Christopher
Vrswycke
to
Charles
the
kynge
of
Fraunce
.
Firste
to
certifye
hym
,
that
he
was
veraye
glad
of
the
victorye
that
he
had
vpon
Maximilian
,
secondarely
what
tumulte
and
insurreccion
was
made
here
in
England
thyrdly
and
especially
to
desyre
hym
to
bee
at
one
againe
with
the
Duke
of
Brytayne
.
And
then
he
commaunded
this
Vrswycke
,
that
if
the
kyng
of
Fraunce
shoulde
bee
so
contente
,
to
go
foorthe
immediatlye
to
the
Duke
,
and
desyre
hym
lykewyse
of
the
same
.
But
when
the
kyng
was
come
againe
to
London
,
there
was
ioye
and
myrthe
for
the
victorye
the
he
had
on
euery
syde
.
For
not
onely
the
kyng
,
but
also
euerye
one
of
his
cytezyns
reioysed
veraye
muche
.
Wherfore
the
kyng
shewed
hym selfe
both
beraye
humane
and
courteous
toward
all
menne
,
and
also
rewarded
all
theim
that
tooke
paynes
in
that
battaile
moste
bountefully
.
And
not
long
after
delyuered
Lord
Thomas
Marques
out
of
the
●oure
,
and
loued
hym
veraye
well
.
In
the
meane
season
Christofer
Vrswicke
was
come
to
the
frenche
kyng
,
&
of
hym
,
after
the
most
louing
fassion
that
coulde
bee
,
receiued
.
And
as
sone
as
he
had
shewed
his
message
,
the
kyng
shewed
him selfe
to
bee
there
with
veray
well
pleased
.
Then
went
the
ambassadour
streight
thence
,
as
it
was
commaunded
hym
,
into
Britain
,
and
shewed
the
duke
what
kyng
Henry
would
haue
dooen
.
But
the
duke
(
because
hym self
had
been
sicke
a
great
while
,
&
therby
his
memory
&
wit
was
d●●aied
)
called
to
hym
to
heare
the
message
bothe
Lewes
the
duke
of
Orleaunce
and
other
of
his
councell
,
whiche
Lewes
in
no
wyse
woulde
haue
any
peace
to
bee
made
,
but
saied
that
it
was
more
mete
that
kyng
Henrye
(
seing
he
had
founde
suche
kyndnesse
at
the
Dukes
hande
,
and
Britaine
was
suche
a
good
defence
to
England
)
to
helpe
to
kepe
battayle
all
that
he
might
against
the
frenchmen
.
Then
retourned
this
Christofer
againe
into
Fraunce
,
&
declared
to
the
king
Charles
what
aunswer
was
made
of
the
Britains
,
and
shortely
after
came
into
Englande
againe
.
But
still
in
the
meane
time
,
the
Frenche
kyng
went
aboute
busely
to
ouercome
the
Brytains
,
and
the
more
he
was
nigh
of
his
purpose
,
so
much
the
more
did
he
exhorte
&
desire
kyng
Henry
to
make
peace
betwene
theim
,
wherfore
he
sent
Bernarde
Daubeney
knighte
in
all
the
haste
to
kyng
Henrye
to
desire
hym
in
any
wise
to
make
some
ende
of
this
contrauersy
.
And
therupon
the
kyng
being
desirous
of
the
same
,
chose
thre
oratours
,
the
Abbot
of
Abindon
,
Iohn
Lilie
the
bishop
of
Romes
collectoure
and
Richard
Tonshal
a
knight
and
a
veray
wise
man
,
to
gooe
firste
to
the
Frenche
kyng
,
and
then
to
the
duke
to
make
amitee
and
frendshyp
againe
betwene
theim
.
But
or
euer
these
ambassadoures
proceded
on
their
iourney
,
Iohn
Lilye
fell
sicke
of
the
goute
:
therfore
for
hym
was
chosen
Christofer
Vrswycke
,
and
they
together
wente
(
as
they
were
commaunded
)
Firste
into
Fraunce
to
the
kyng
,
and
thence
withoute
delaye
into
Britain
.
But
Fraunces
the
duke
in
no
case
would
take
suche
condicyons
as
wer
there
offered
,
wherfore
they
came
back
againe
into
Fraunce
without
their
purpose
,
and
there
tarieng
,
signified
to
kyng
Henry
by
their
letters
all
that
was
dooen
.
But
or
their
letters
came
to
the
kynges
handes
,
Edward
Woodilile
,
a
bold
Champion
came
to
hym
&
desired
veraye
earnestly
that
he
myght
haue
an
host
of
men
to
helpe
the
Britains
,
and
leasire
it
should
cause
any
dissencion
betwene
the
Frenche
kyng
and
hym
,
he
saied
that
he
would
gooe
priuely
and
without
a
pasporte
,
to
th
entent
it
might
bee
thought
that
he
stole
out
of
the
land
.
But
the
kyng
,
for
as
much
as
he
trusted
that
peace
shoulde
bee
made
,
woulde
in
no
wyse
graunt
his
peticion
.
Wherfore
this
Edward
went
streight
into
the
ysle
Veches
,
which
was
in
his
dominacion
,
&
there
so
sone
as
he
had
gathered
his
menne
together
about
foure
.
C
,
sayled
ouer
to
the
Britaines
,
&
ioyned
hym selfe
with
theim
against
the
Frenchmen
,
whiche
thing
when
it
was
knowen
in
Fraunce
,
made
the
ambassadours
greatly
afraid
of
their
liues
.
But
whiles
they
were
in
this
feare
,
and
the
Frenchemen
thought
it
dooen
maliciously
of
Kyng
Henry
,
there
came
other
Ambassadours
frome
hym
to
the
Frenche
kyng
,
certifieng
hym
&
declaring
(
by
most
euident
tokens
)
that
it
was
nothing
in
dede
as
it
was
thought
to
haue
been
.
To
the
which
message
,
albeit
the
kyng
had
lytle
credence
yet
he
made
as
thoughe
he
had
not
bene
angry
at
all
.
So
the
Ambassadours
renewed
peace
betwene
their
king
&
hym
for
.xii.
monethes
and
retourned
home
again
,
&
shewed
the
kyng
all
such
thinges
that
they
had
either
hearde
or
sene
there
,
wherof
he
gathered
that
the
Frenchmen
did
nothing
lesse
entend
then
to
haue
peace
made
.
Wherfore
without
delay
he
called
a
parliament
&
there
consulted
of
the
aidyng
of
the
Brytains
:
then
of
the
exspence
that
should
bee
therin
made
,
&
after
of
other
mattiers
.
And
assone
as
the
parliament
was
broken
vp
,
he
caused
musters
to
bee
taken
in
euery
toune
thorowoute
his
realme
.
Yet
leaste
peraduenture
he
might
seme
willingly
to
breake
the
amitee
whiche
was
betwene
the
Frenche
kyng
and
hym
,
he
sent
Ambassadours
into
Fraunce
to
certifye
the
kyng
that
of
late
he
had
kepte
a
parliament
,
and
there
that
it
pleased
all
the
nobles
that
he
should
sende
helpe
to
the
Britains
,
because
they
at
all
times
had
dooen
more
benefites
to
Englande
then
all
other
nacions
and
therfore
that
he
should
either
leaue
of
battail
orelles
that
he
shoulde
not
bee
greued
if
he
dyd
obey
the
mindes
of
his
Lordes
and
prelates
,
and
yet
that
he
woulde
promise
hym
this
one
thing
,
that
his
should
medle
with
hym
no
lenger
then
he
was
in
Britain
&
kepte
battaile
vpon
theim
.
With
these
commaundementes
the
ambassadours
went
foorth
and
declared
to
the
French
kyng
all
the
minde
and
wyll
of
their
kyng
which
thyng
he
litle
cared
for
,
and
thought
as
it
came
to
passe
in
dede
,
that
the
Englishemen
there
coulde
lytle
auayle
.
In
the
meane
season
the
Britains
fought
one
felde
at
a
place
called
sainte
Albanes
&
there
sped

Whiche
thing
when

,

with

thousand

to
the
Brytains
to
helpe
theim
in
theyr
nede
,
whiche
by
reason
the
wind
serued
theim
,
came
thither
so
sone
as
they
could
desire
.
But
when
the
Frenche
menne
knewe
of
their
comming
(
whome
they
knewe
so
longe
as
they
were
freshe
and
lusty
to
bee

a
maner
inuincible
)
at
the

and
durste
scarsely

of

,
but
afterwarde
trusting
that
they

they
went
many
of
theim
together
into
diuers
places
,
and
kepte

,
but
they
theim selfes
euer
bare
the
worste
away
,
howsoeuer
the
Englishmen
sped
,
they
sped
naught
.
Whiles
they
this
kynde
of
warre
did
exercise
,
the
Duke
Fraunces
died
,
and
then
was
all
dasshed
.
For
the
chyefe
rulers
of
the
Brytains
being
some
of
theim
corrupted
with
money
,
&
some
sturred
vp
with
ambicyon
,
fell
into
deuisyon
amonge
theim selues
,
and
semed
nomore
to
endeuoure
to
defende
their
commune
weale
,
but
rather
to
destroy
and
vtterly
extinguishe
it
Which
thing
the
englishe
menne
perceiuing
,
and
also
suffering
muche
colde
,
were
compelled
of
necessitee
within
fyue
moonethes
that
their
wente
thyther
,
to
come
backe
agayne
into
Englande
.
Then
Charles
the
French
kyng
maried
Anne
the
Dukes
doughter
,
and
gat
al
Britayn
by
that
meanes
into
hys
handes
.
But
of
this
it
shal
be
spoken
more
here
after
.
It
was
decreed
here
in
Englande
before
there
were
any
souldyours
sent
into
Brytayne
,
that
for
the
expence
of
that
warre
,
euery
man
should
paye
as
thei
were
hable
,
a
tribute
,
whyche
the
mooste
parte
of
theim
that
dwelte
in
the
byshopryke
of
Durham
and
Yorke
shyre
,
dyd
vtterly
refuse
to
pay
,
and
complayned
of
the
matter
to
their
Lorde
the
Earle
of
Northumberland
.
And
he
immediately
signified
to
the
kyng
by
his
letters
that
the
people
dyd
greatly
lament
and
was
sory
saiyng
,
that
thei
were
neuer
put
to
so
muche
coast
,
as
thei
had
been
of
late
dayes
,
&
nowe
that
ther
was
so
much
requyred
of
theim
,
that
neither
thei
were
hable
to
pay
so
great
a
summe
,
nor
would
pay
it
.
Yet
for
al
that
the
kyng
commaunded
the
Erle
to
get
it
on
them
and
make
theim
pay
it
whether
thei
would
or
not
least
peraduenture
it
myght
be
a
cause
,
that
yf
at
any
time
a
tribute
agayne
should
bee
required
of
them
,
to
make
an
insurreccion
.
Which
thyng
when
the
people
hearde
of
,
by
and
by
they
ranne
vnto
the
earle
and
as
the
authoure
of
the
tribute
paiyng
Themurde
ryng
of
the
erle
of
Northumberland
kylled
hym
out
of
hande
.
And
when
thei
had
so
done
,
thei
chase
Ihon
Egremonknight
a
verey
dicious
personne
to
bee
their
captayne
,
and
so
arraied
them selfes
,
and
went
agaynst
the
kyng
,
makyng
cries
in
euery
towne
,
that
thei
came
to
fight
for
no
nother
cause
but
to
defend
that
common
libertie
.
But
when
the
mattier
shoulde
come
to
blowes
thei
waxed
colde
all
the
sorte
of
theim
,
and
euerye
one
wished
that
this
tumulte
wer
retracted
which
was
nowe
alredy
begonne
,
so
that
at
the
conclusion
not
one
scacely
scaped
without
his
great
discommodite
.
For
the
kynge
assone
as
he
hearde
of
this
insurreccion
,
went
downe
with
an
hoost
to
Yorke
wherof
these
slaues
and
traitours
beyng
greatly
afraied
,
fledde
some
hether
and
some
thether
and
durst
not
abide
and
sustaine
the
power
of
the
kynges
army
.
Wherfore
thei
wer
sone
taken
and
punished
greuousely
,
accordyng
to
their
deseruyng
euery
one
of
theim
.
But
Ihon
Egremont
whiche
was
their
captain
fledde
into
Flanders
to
Margarete
of
whome
we
spake
before
.
And
the
kyng
so
sone
as
this
busines
was
quenched
,
tooke
his
iourny
back
again
vnto
London
and
committed
the
tribute
whiche
was
in
Yorke
and
about
Yorke
to
bee
taken
vp
,
holy
to
Richard
Toustal
.
And
this
was
the
yere
of
our
lord
a
thousand
foure
hundred
.xc.
and
the
fourth
yere
of
the
reigne
of
this
kyng
Henry
.
And
in
thys
yere
also
the
kynge
of
Scottes
〈…〉
.
was
sore
vexed
.
For
his
subiectes
roase
agaynst
hym
and
made
his
sonne
Iames
whiche
was
as
yet
but
a
chylde
,
their
capitain
.
Wherfore
,
he
sent
to
the
kynge
of
Englande
,
to
the
Frenche
kyng
,
and
to
the
byshoppe
of
Roome
Innocentius
to
desire
theim
to
make
some
end
of
thys
ciuile
battayle
and
contencion
whiche
was
betwene
hys
people
and
hym
.
Whiche
afterwarde
sente
theyr
ambassadours
as
they
were
desired
,
but
all
in
vayne
.
For
the
rude
sort
would
nedes
fight
onlesse
The
kyng
of
Scottes
slain
of
his
subiectes
.
he
would
resygne
his
crowne
,
wherfore
shortely
after
,
thei
fought
,
and
in
that
battayle
kylled
the
kyng
and
gaue
his
sonne
Iames
whiche
was
the
fourth
of
that
name
the
crowne
.
But
the
byshoppe
of
Romes
legate
Hadrian
came
to
late
.
For
whyles
he
was
in
Englande
with
kyng
Henry
,
worde
came
that
the
kyng
of
Scottes
was
slayne
in
battayle
and
hys
soonne
made
kyng
.
And
therfore
,
he
taried
here
in
England
for
a
space
,
and
was
veray
muche
made
of
,
and
hyghly
commended
to
the
kyng
by
Ihon
Morton
archbyshop
of
Canterburie
.
Whereby
he
came
into
so
high
fauour
with
kyng
Henry
,
that
he
made
him
bishoppe
of
Herforde
,
and
shortly
after
,
that
least
gaue
hym
the
bishopprike
boothe
of
Welles
and
Bathe
.
And
not
longe
after
he
retourned
with
these
honours
to
Roome
,
and
there
of
Alexander
was
made
Cardinall
.
There
beganne
also
of
freshe
,
certayne
businesse
as
concernynge
Brytaine
before
this
geare
was
appeased
:
whiche
was
,
that
Maximilian
beyng
at
that
tyme
without
a
wyfe
,
would
haue
maried
the
duke
of
Briteines
doughter
,
and
had
one
that
wowed
for
hym
,
which
lady
promisyng
hym
fayth
&
trueth
,
to
the
entent
that
she
might
not
go
from
her
word
,
he
vsed
this
way
with
her
,
when
she
went
to
her
bed
the
night
after
,
as
to
the
bedde
of
wedlocke
,
the
wower
that
was
hired
,
putte
one
of
his
fete
into
the
bed
to
the
knee
in
the
sight
&
company
of
many
noble
matrons
&
ladies
,
for
a
token
&
testimony
that
the
mariage
was
consummate
,
&
thei
.ii.
as
man
&
wife
.
But
this
did
nothing
auaile
,
for
Char
the
Frenche
kyng
was
desireous
to
marye
her
&
hearyng
that
Maximilian
was
sure
to
her
,
dyd
the
more
busely
set
vpon
the
Britaynes
,
to
th
entent
he
might
both
haue
the
ladye
and
the
countree
also
at
his
wyll
,
for
he
estemed
that
mariage
to
bee
of
no
strength
or
force
.
Neuerthelesse
,
he
feared
kyng
Henry
muche
,
least
that
he
would
stoppe
his
purpose
,
whiche
kyng
had
made
a
league
,
and
Ferdinande
also
the
kyng
of
Spayne
,
had
made
the
same
with
the
Britaynes
,
to
assist
theim
in
all
their
ieoperdies
and
perilles
that
should
chaunce
to
theim
by
foren
countrees
,
wherfore
he
sent
in
al
post
hast
Francese
Lucemburgense
,
Charles
Marignane
and
Roberte
Gaguine
,
to
kyng
Henry
for
a
peace
to
bee
confirmed
and
hadde
,
desyrynge
hym
,
that
their
kyng
might
ordre
the
mariage
of
the
Ladye
Anne
as
wer
thought
best
without
any
let
or
hynderaunce
of
it
by
hym
,
but
kyng
Henry
would
not
agree
to
theim
,
that
the
lady
should
bee
maried
to
hym
,
consyderyng
she
was
made
sure
to
the
kyng
Maximilian
,
for
that
it
was
against
all
right
and
lawe
bothe
of
God
and
manne
.
Albeit
the
kynge
would
gladly
make
a
peace
betwene
theim
bothe
,
and
so
demissyng
the
kynges
Ambassadoures
with
a
large
and
ample
rewarde
,
sent
Thomas
Goldestone
abbot
of
Cantorbury
and
the
lord
Thomas
of
Ormondye
ambassadours
streight
after
theim
.
In
this
meane
space
,
Alexander
B.
of
Rome
the
sixt
of
that
name
after
Innocentius
sent
the
bishop
of
Cōcordiense
legate
to
the
Frenche
kyng
for
certayne
mattiers
,
and
emong
other
for
a
peace
and
vnitee
to
bee
confederate
betwyxt
hym
and
kyng
Henry
,
the
whiche
when
he
had
easely
obteyned
,
he
came
to
Englande
and
there
beyng
entretained
moste
roially
of
the
kyng
,
had
his
purpose
and
desire
of
hym
.
The
Englishe
ambassadours
then
beyng
with
the
Frenche
kyng
,
purposed
to
haue
a
peace
concluded
,
whiche
first
demaunded
certain
thynges
of
the
kyng
ere
that
it
should
bee
made
,
albeit
the
kyng
would
graunt
theim
nothyng
,
and
was
sore
moued
with
their
request
&
askyng
.
So
the
shortly
after
,
the
Frenche
kyng
sent
to
the
noble
menne
of
Britain
greate
giftes
and
rewardes
to
the
entent
thei
might
moue
the
ladie
Anne
to
giue
her
troweth
to
hym
,
and
also
sent
to
herself
many
princely
giftes
&
tokens
,
the
she
would
beare
loue
to
hym
.
And
that
she
might
not
feare
but
that
she
might
lawfully
marie
to
hym
,
certified
her
the
the
promise
was
of
none
effecte
that
she
had
gyuen
to
Maximilian
for
that
it
was
geuen
&
made
without
his
consent
whiche
had
the
gouernaunce
&
dominion
ouer
all
the
countre
And
this
was
the
cause
that
no
concorde
or
peace
could
bee
kept
betwixt
theim
.
And
where
as
that
the
kyng
had
taken
Maximilians
doughter
ladie
Margaret
to
bee
his
wife
,
he
saied
that
it
might
bee
lawfully
dissolued
because
the
ladie
was
vnder
age
,
and
not
ripe
to
bee
maried
.
This
ladie
Anne
of
Britain
through
the
persuasion
of
many
noble
menne
of
that
countree
,
was
contented
to
bee
his
wife
and
ladie
.
And
when
the
kyng
was
certified
of
this
,
he
hastened
the
mariage
with
all
the
expedicion
and
celeritee
that
he
could
.
So
that
the
Englishe
ambassadours
returned
again
to
their
countree
,
and
nothyng
dooen
or
agreed
vpon
in
their
matter
.
When
the
kyng
was
certified
of
this
by
his
ambassadours
,
he
purposed
to
make
battaill
against
hym
,
and
to
reuenge
the
naughtie
entent
of
his
,
with
the
swerde
,
and
assemblyng
his
counsaill
together
,
showed
theim
the
matter
,
and
the
iuste
cause
he
had
to
fight
,
desteryng
theim
for
the
maintenaunce
of
the
same
warres
to
helpe
hym
with
money
,
neuerthelesse
that
menne
should
not
thynke
it
to
bee
extorte
of
theim
,
he
willed
euery
manne
to
gyue
as
muche
and
as
litle
as
he
would
,
and
theim
to
bee
estemed
and
taken
as
his
moste
beste
and
assured
frendes
that
gaue
the
most
money
When
this
somme
was
gatheryng
and
preparaunce
made
for
battaill
,
Maximilian
the
kyng
warred
sore
with
the
Frenchemen
,
whiche
kyng
was
taken
a
litle
before
at
a
certain
brunt
and
skirmishe
made
,
and
cast
in
prisone
,
after
the
whiche
tyme
kyng
Henry
sent
to
hym
Giles
Dabeney
capitain
of
Calais
to
aide
hym
with
three
thousand
harnissed
menne
.
At
the
length
Maximilian
hauyng
the
better
hand
of
the
Frenchemen
,
entended
to
reuenge
hymself
of
the
Frenche
kyng
,
for
that
he
had
repudiate
his
doughter
ladie
Margarete
,
and
taken
to
hym
as
wife
quene
Anne
,
but
because
he
was
not
fully
hable
of
hymself
to
sustein
that
battaill
,
he
sent
Iames
Conti●alde
ambassadour
to
kyng
Henry
for
helpe
,
whiche
Iames
when
he
had
dooen
his
message
,
the
kyng
promised
that
he
would
dooe
for
hym
all
that
he
could
in
mainteinyng
his
warres
.
In
this
tyme
,
Charles
the
Frenche
kyng
maried
ladye
Anne
,
chalengyng
by
this
mariage
the
dominion
and
gouernaunce
of
the
Brytaines
.
Maximilian
the
kyng
beyng
certified
of
this
,
was
greately
moued
,
for
that
he
did
not
onely
forsake
and
repudiate
his
doughter
ladye
Magarete
,
but
also
receiued
in
mariage
the
ladye
and
quene
Anne
to
his
wife
,
and
in
this
furie
he
sent
to
kyng
Henry
desieryng
hym
to
prepare
an
armie
,
for
he
would
goo
vpon
the
Frenche
menne
,
and
kepe
open
battaill
with
theim
,
whiche
kyng
Henry
gathered
an
hoste
of
menne
,
and
proclaimed
battaill

all
his
realme

after

After
that
all
this
armie
was
araied
,
the
kyng
sent
sir
Christopher
Vrswycke
,
and
sir
Ihon
Ryseley
knyghtes
to
the
kyng
Maximilian
,
to
certifye
hym
that
thei
were
all
in
a
redynesse
to
kepe
battaile
when
he
would
haue
theim
.
When
they
had
dooen
their
message
thei
returned
backe
again
to
their
kyng
,
certifiyng
hym
,
that
Maximilian
was
so
poore
and
nedye
of
monye
and
menne
,
that
he
could
not
be
hable
to
susteyne
any
battaile
neuerthelesse
his
mynde
and
will
was
good
,
if
his
power
and
habilitee
had
been
correspondent
to
it
.
The
kyng
after
the
receipte
of
these
letters
,
was
displeased
muche
with
hym
,
albeit
consyderyng
he
had
gooen
so
farre
in
it
,
and
had
suche
furnyture
of
all
thynges
prepared
,
least
that
menne
shoulde
impute
it
to
hym
as
cowardnesse
to
faynt
from
battaile
,
he
proceded
forth
towarde
Fraunce
,
and
about
the
.vi.
daye
of
Septembre
he
landed
at
Calise
,
&
there
rested
his
armye
.
Wher
worde
was
brought
to
all
the
hoste
(
for
thei
did
not
knowe
of
it
before
)
that
Maximilian
could
make
no
preparaunce
for
lacke
of
mony
.
At
the
whiche
thei
maruailed
greatly
,
consideryng
that
he
had
suche
vilanye
shewed
hym
not
longe
before
at
the
kynge
of
Fraunce
hand
.
Yet
thei
wer
neuer
discoumfeyted
at
it
,
but
like
stoute
and
valiaunt
warryars
had
great
confidence
in
their
owne
power
and
strengthe
,
wyth
whom
the
kyng
of
Fraunce
(
after
that
he
perceaued
it
best
for
his
profite
&
ease
)
would
gladly
haue
been
reconciled
,
although
he
had
a
ready
hoste
to
fight
against
theim
&
withstande
their
power
.
And
especially
he
desyred
peace
for
this
cause
,
that
he
might
haue
the
loue
of
his
neighboures
,
to
the
entent
his
realme
might
bee
in
better
sauegarde
and
quietnes
,
when
he
should
warre
against
Ferdinand
kyng
of
Napels
,
at
the
desyre
of
Ludouike
Sfortia
duke
of
Millayn
,
whiche
at
that
present
tyme
did
inuite
hym
to
it
,
wherfore
he
did
sende
Philip
Desquerd
chief
of
Annonye
to
desyre
kyng
Henrye
of
peace
,
whiche
Philip
did
send
the
letters
to
hym
,
before
he
came
into
the
countre
hymself
,
wherin
he
signified
that
he
would
take
suche
paines
in
bryngyng
his
purpose
about
,
that
he
would
if
it
should
so
please
his
grace
,
reconcile
bothe
hym
and
their
kyng
to
loue
eche
other
as
thei
haue
dooen
heretofore
,
and
saied
that
it
should
bee
for
his
honour
to
take
the
same
condicion
,
whiche
condicion
if
he
would
send
certain
of
his
capitains
to
mete
with
hym
in
any
parte
of
Fraunce
,
and
there
to
determine
of
it
he
should
haue
it
there
promised
&
hereafter
duely
to
bee
performed
.
The
kyng
after
he
had
red
these
letters
,
did
send
the
bishop
of
Exceter
,
and
Giles
Dabeney
to
the
forenamed
Philip
for
peace
to
be
agreed
vpon
&
concluded
,
the
whiche
after
a
space
determyned
vpon
certain
condicions
whiche
here
after
shal
bee
shewed
,
that
peace
should
bee
had
on
bothe
parties
.
When
thei
were
thus
consultyng
,
the
kyng
hauyng
his
hoste
at
Caleis
,
remoued
from
that
place
to
Bononye
,
&
there
pitchyng
his
tentes
beseeged
the
toune
with
all
the
power
he
might
,
whiche
toune
because
it
was
strongely
defended
&
furnished
with
all
thynges
necessarye
for
warre
,
it
could
not
bee
ouercome
without
greate
labour
,
&
before
that
he
either
could
or
did
ouercome
any
parte
of
it
,
woord
was
brought
,
that
a
peace
was
concluded
and
made
,
whiche
heard
,
as
it
was
pleasure
to
the
Frenchemen
,
so
it
was
sorowe
to
the
Englishe
men
,
for
thei
cried
out
of
the
kyng
and
saied
it
was
not
for
his
honour
so
to
dooe
,
but
the
kyng
as
a
wise
manne
&
moste
prudent
prince
,
saied
it
should
be
the
death
of
many
noble
&
puisaunt
capitaines
if
he
should
continue
the
same
battaill
,
&
therefore
it
might
be
to
his
sore
reproche
,
if
it
wer
in
his
power
,
not
to
tendre
as
well
the
health
of
his
commons
as
his
owne
,
whiche
saiyng
did
somewhat
coule
&
pacifye
their
grief
.
And
after
this
dooen
,
the
kyng
returned
backe
to
Calise
,
for
because
it
was
enformed
hym
that
one
Richard
the
named
hym self
the
sonne
of
kyng
Edwarde
had
made
an
insurreccion
in
Flaunders
,
through
the
counsaill
of
lady
Margarete
the
quene
,
to
fight
against
hym
,
which
thyng
,
kyng
Henry
consyderyng
did
the
more
spedely
hasten
to
conclude
a
peace
.
And
the
condicion
of
this
peace
to
bee
made
was
this
,
that
the
Frenche
kyng
should
paye
to
kyng
Henry
,
a
certain
summe
of
meny
,
the
whiche
was
leauyed
by
the
ambassadours
,
for
the
cost
and
charges
that
the
kyng
was
put
to
in
that
battayll
,
and
also
should
yerely
for
a
certain
space
paye
or

to

of

for

of
Bonony
(
whiche
we
spake
of
before
)
there
was
none
killed
,
sauyng
onely
syr
Ihon
Sauage
,
whiche
goyng
out
of
his
tent
with
syr
Ihon
Riseley
,
was
taken
priuely
rydyng
about
the
walles
of
the
toune
and
there
because
he
would
not

was
slain
of
the
Frenche
men
,
albeit
the
other
syr
Ihon
Rysely
fled
and
escaped
their
daunger
.
After
this
the
kyng
went
from
Calis
to
England
again
,
&
yet
that
he
might
not
be
without
some
trouble
or
busynes
,
quene
Margaret
of
Spaine
(
whiche
euer
watched
to
do
hym
a
displeasure
)
perceauyng
that
the
erle
with
his
compaignie
could
not
haue
suche
successe
in
their
businesse
as
she
would
haue
wished
theim
,
she
inuented
a
new
way
to
worke
treason
against
him
.
There
was
a
certain
young
man
of
Tornace
,
very
beautiful
&
faire
in
countenaunce
,
&
of
a
pregnaunt
witte
,
whiche
young
man
was
called
Peter
&
surnamed
Warbecke
,
&
for
his
cowardnes
nycknamed
of
the
Englishe
men
&
called
Perkyn
,
Perkyn
warbeck
.
which
young
man
trauaylyng
many
countrees
could
speake
many
languages
&
for
his
basenes
of
stocke
&
birth
was
knowen
of
none
almost
.
Therfore
the
quene
thynkyng
this
young
man
to
bee
mete
whom
she
might
feigne
to
be
the
duke
of
Yorke
,
and
sonne
to
her
brother
kyng
Edward
,
kept
hym
a
certain
tyme
with
her
priuely
,
and
tellyng
hym
what
he
should
be
,
that
he
might
the
rather
persuade
men
to
be
the
kynges
sonne
did
send
hym
into
Irelande
,
after
what
time
she
knewe
that
kyng
Henry
had
apointed
to
fight
against
the
Frenche
kyng
,
where
he
was
honorably
receaued
&
taken
of
euery
manne
as
a
prynce
,
for
whose
right
,
they
promysed
all
to
fight
,
and
helpe
hym
in
all
that
they
could
.
After
this
it
came
to
the
Frenche
kynges
eare
that
such
an
one
was
in
Ireland
,
for
whom
the
kyng
did
send
to
see
&
caused
hym
to
be
brought
before
him
,
&
when
he
came
into
his
presence
,
the
kyng
accepted
hym
gladly
,
&
after
a
princely
fashion
intreteined
hym
.
But
after
the
he
came
in
loue
with
the
kyng
of
England
,
the
sayd
Charles
did
dimisse
the
young
man
,
&
would
no
longer
kepe
hym
,
least
that
some
inconueniencie
or
cause
of
strife
should
chaunce
thorough
it
.
Wherfore
the
young
manne
went
to
Flaunders
agayne
to
the
quene
Magarete
,
whiche
quene
did
receaue
hym
with
suche
gladnesse
,
that
she
coulde
not
well
rule
her selfe
,
&
for
this
cause
onely
she
dyd
shewe
her selfe
so
ioyfull
and
merye
,
that
menne
mighte
perswade
theim selfe
that
this
was
Richard
the
kynges
soonne
,
and
vpon
that
cause
truely
,
men
did
the
more
reuerence
to
the
younge
manne
,
and
that
more
firmely
beleue
hym
to
bee
the
righte
heire
&
sonne
to
kyng
Edwarde
.
Also
after
this
rumour
blased
abrode
,
aswel
in
England
,
Fraunce
,
as
Flaundres
there
beganne
great
sedicion
to
spryng
,
and
firste
they
that
were
long
in
sanctuary
for
the
greate
offences
that
they
had
commytted
,
and
other
that
wer
cast
in
pouertie
,
gathered
a
compaignie
of
men
and
sayled
ouer
into
Flaunders
to
the
counterfaicte
Edwarde
,
otherwise
named
Peter
,
also
many
of
the
noble
men
conspired
together
,
and
to
the
entent
they
might
bryng
their
purpose
wel
about
,
they
did
send
certain
to
the
Quene
Margarete
,
to
knowe
when
the
same
Edwarde
might
come
conueniently
into
Englande
,
the
thei
beyng
certified
of
the
same
might
the
more
easely
receaue
&
bryng
hym
into
the
realme
.
So
that
by
the
consent
and
agrement
of
theim
all
,
syr
Robert
Clyfforde
knight
&
Wyllyam
Barley
wer
sent
to
shewe
all
their
myndes
&
aduyce
as
concernyng
the
newe
founde
duke
,
to
the
Quene
Margarete
.
Whome
the
Quene
did
accepte
gladlye
,
and
persuaded
theim
,
that
it
was
true
that
was
publyshed
of
Rycharde
the
duke
,
and
streight
vpon
shewed
theim
the
same
Peter
,
whiche
was
muche
lyke
Richarde
,
praysyng
his
vertues
and
qualitees
that
he
had
,
wonderfullye
.
The
said
Robert
,
when
he
had
seen
the
same
young
manne
,
beleued
surely
that
he
was
of
the
kynges
bloode
,
and
wrote
to
Englande
to
his
coumpaignye
and
felowes
of
his
conspiracie
,
that
he
knewe
hym
to
bee
the
kynges
soonne
by
his
face
&
euery
proporcion
of
his
body
.
And
when
these
letters
came
vnto
Englande
,
the
chief
capitaynes
of
this
businesse
did
openly
diuulgate
and
publyshe
,
that
it
was
trewe
that
was
spoken
and
saied
abroad
of
the
Duke
,
but
it
was
dooen
by
suche
a
crafte
,
that
no
manne
coulde
tell
who
was
the
authoure
of
that
rumoure
.
When
the
kyng
perceiued
that
many
men
did
geue
credence
to
his
vaine
fable
,
he
thought
beste
for
his
owne
safegard
to
prouide
a
remedy
for
it
,
&
also
mystrusting
that
some
conspiracye
had
bene
made
bicause
that
sir
Robert
Clifford
had
fled
priuely
into
Flaundres
,
commaunded
certain
knightes
that
were
chosen
and
piked
menne
of
warre
with
a
bonde
of
menne
to
kepe
the
borders
surely
the
no
manne
might
escape
or
sayle
ouer
the
sea
without
a
pasporte
or
licence
geuen
by
hym
.
Also
that
men
myghte
not
contynue
in
the
false
perswasion
and
belefe
that
they
had
conceyued
of
the
duke
,
he
caused
certain
spies
to
search
in
all
the
citees
of
Belgike
,
to
knowe
of
what
progenie
this
mysnamed
Richarde
was
,
and
to
geue
theim
highe
rewardes
that
would
shewe
the
verite
and
truth
of
the
same
matter
.
So
that
they
sailynge
into
Fraunce
,
euerye
manne
dyd
gooe
into
a
contraye
quarter
,
and
enquired
diligently
for
hym
,
and
at
the
length
,
certain
of
theim
came
to
a
towne
called
Tornace
and
there
were
certifyed
by
the
testymonye
of
many
honest
menne
that
he
came
but
of
a
lowe
and
course
parentage
,
and
he
was
named
Peter
War
becke
,
whiche
thing
also
the
kynges
frendes
certified
hym
by
their
letters
and
writynges
to
hym
more
plaine
and
euidentelye
.
Therfore
when
the
kyng
had
knowen
the
matter
wholy
,
aswel
by
his
frendes
as
by
his
spies
sent
foorth
purposelye
for
the
same
,
he
caused
it
to
bee
proclaimed
openly
aswell
in
other
regions
&
countrees
as
in
England
that
the
disceate
and
deuelish
crafte
might
appere
euident
to
euery
manne
.
And
firste
he
sent
ambassadours
to
Philyp
the
chiefe
capitaine
in
Flaundres
,
and
to
his
councell
,
because
he
was
but
of
a
younge
age
,
whiche
were
sir
Edward
Poninges
knight
,
and
sir
William
Varame
preest
and
lawyer
,
that
they
might
shewe
euidently
howe
falsely
the
younge
manne
hath
vsurped
the
name
of
Richarde
duke
of
Yorke
whiche
was
kylled
with
his
brother
Edward
in
the
Towre
of
London
,
at
the
commaundement
and
will
of
kyng
Richard
his
vncle
,
as
euery
man
coulde
testifye
and
affirme
most
surely
.
Also
that
he
was
borne
of
a
poore
stocke
,
and
an
obscure
famulie
in
Tornace
,
and
there
named
Perkin
Warbecke
,
and
therfore
that
it
woulde
please
hym
&
his
councel
not
to
suffer
theim selfes
to
bee
blynded
or
seduced
with
suche
mere
impostures
and
craftie
illusions
,
nor
yet
to
aide
hym
at
any
hande
to
cause
sedicion
or
strife
,
consideryng
that
he
had
no
iuste
title
to
the
enheritynge
of
the
same
.
And
that
they
would
the
rather
bee
his
frendes
nowe
,
because
that
he
helped
Maximilian
theyr
kyng
the
yere
before
againste
the
power
and
violencye
of
the
Frenche
menne
,
where
as
he
of
hym selfe
was
not
hable
to
refyste
theyr
myghte
and
stronge
power
.
When
the
Ambassadours
had
dooen
their
message
,
they
were
gentely
entretayned
of
hym
,
and
had
their
request
,
that
he
woulde
not
(
for
the
loue
that
he
oughte
vnto
the
kynge
)
no
nor
any
of
his
counsaile
helpe
the
same
Perkin
any
thinge
at
all
.
Neuerthelesse
,
yf
the
quene
Margaret
would
persiste
and
continewe
in
her
malice
towardes
the
kyng
(
whome
the
Ambassadour
sir
William
Varame
had
reproued
and
checked
sore
,
for
bringing
vp
of
suche
monsters
and
commune
plagues
,
to
the
publike
weale
in
his
oration
that
he
made
vnto
Philippe
and
his
counsayle
)
it
was
not
in
their
power
to
withstande
it
,
for
because
that
she
might
doo
in
her
owne
herytage
all
thinges
at
her
owne
wyll
and
pleasure
.
Whiche
quene
entended
fully
to
arme
this
Perkin
with
a
stronge
compaignye
of
menne
against
kyng
Henry
.
After
that
kynge
Henrye
dyd
heare
of
this
,
he
purposed
to
pacyfye
all
this
busynesse
that
was
like
to
chaunce
,
by
wytte
and
policye
,
and
streight
dyd
sende
foorthe
certaine
spies
,
whiche
shoulde
fayne
theim selfes
to
haue
fledde
vnto
the
Duke
,
and
by
that
meanes
searche
foorthe
and
knowe
the
whole
entente
of
theyr
coniuracion
,
and
after
what
waye
they
framed
theyr
matters
.
Other
also
shoulde
promyse
a
pardon
and
remyssyon
vnto
syr
Roberte
Clyfforde
,
and
Willyam
Barley
for
their
offence
committed
to
the
kyng
.
And
when
they
had
so
dooen
,
many
of
theim
returned
to
Englande
,
and
broughte
the
names
of
certayne
that
were
chief
of
the
same
conspiracye
,
Other
taried
vntyll
suche
tyme
that
sir
Robert
Clifforde
came
to
Englande
agayne
.
And
when
the
kyng
had
knowen
the
chief
capitaines
of
this
tumulte
by
his
spyes
that
were
there
with
theim
,
he
caused
all
them
to
bee
attached
&
brought
to
London
before
his
presence
,
whose
names
wer
sir
Iohn
Ratclyffe
,
syr
Simon
Monforde
,
syr
Thomas
Thwarte
knightes
,
William
Dabeney
,
Roberte
Ratcliffe
,
Richard
Lesey
,
with
many
other
.
Also
certaine
preestes
and
religious
menne
,
as
sir
William
Richeford
,
and
Thomas
Poynes
bothe
monkes
of
sainct
Dominikes
order
,
sir
William
Sutton
,
sir
William
Vrseley
Deane
of
Poules
,
&
Robert
Layborne
.
Other
that
were
giltie
of
the
same
crime
,
hearing
that
many
of
their
compaignie
wer
taken
,
fledde
and
did
take
sanctuarye
.
And
the
other
that
were
taken
wer
condempned
all
of
treason
,
of
the
whiche
there
was
heded
sir
Simon
Monford
,
sir
Robert
Ratcliffe
,
and
William
Dabeney
as
authours
&
chiefe
capitaines
of
this
busines
.
The
other
were
pardoned
,
and
the
Preestes
also
for
their
order
that
they
had
taken
.
Also
sir
Iohn
Ratcliffe
was
pardoned
of
his
lyfe
,
but
after
that
he
came
to
Calisse
,
&
there
caste
in
prisone
,
he
was
behedded
,
because
he
corrupted
the
kepers
with
many
promises
to
haue
escaped
out
of
the
same
.
Shortly
after
,
sir
Robert
Clifford
trusting
to
find
fauour
&
grace
at
the
kynges
hande
,
came
to
England
,
of
whose
comming
when
the
kyng
was
certified
he
went
streight
to
the
towre
of
London
,
&
there
taryed
tyll
suche
tyme
the
syr
Robert
Clyfford
came
whiche
thyng
he
vsed
vnder
this
pretence
,
that
yf
sir
Robert
Clifford
had
accused
any
man
to
hym
of
the
treason
,
that
then
euerie
suche
person
mighte
bee
called
thether
withoute
anye
suspection
of
anie
euel
,
and
there
streight
to
bee
cast
in
holde
,
but
before
I
goo
furder
,
I
wyll
shewe
the
opinion
that
many
men
conceaued
of
the
knightes
goynge
to
Flaunders
.
Some
men
helde
this
opinion
,
that
kyng
Henrye
dyd
sende
hym
as
a
spye
to
Flaunders
,
and
therfore
he
came
the
soner
into
his
fauoure
.
Neuerthelesse
,
this
is
not
lyke
to
bee
true
by
diuerse
reasons
.
Fyrst
that
it
tourned
to
the
great
infamye
and
hurt
,
both
of
hym selfe
and
his
frendes
.
Secondarly
that
he
was
not
in
so
greate
fauoure
with
the
kyng
,
as
he
had
ben
in
tymes
past
for
because
that
he
was
giltie
in
that
part
.
Therfore
the
saied
sir
Robert
now
comming
to
the
king
after
his
retourne
into
England
,
kneled
mekelye
downe
at
his
feet
,
and
desired
pardon
of
his
grace
and
after
that
beyng
enquired
of
the
coniuration
and
examined
who
wer
the
authours
of
this
mischiefe
,
he
pronounced
&
saied
that
William
Stāly
whome
the
kynge
made
Earle
,
was
one
of
the
chief
,
when
he
had
so
saied
,
the
kyng
was
greatly
dismayed
&
greued
,
that
he
should
offend
,
whom
he
had
made
chief
of
his
priuie
chamber
,
considering
also
that
he
had
founde
great
kindenes
hertofore
at
his
hande
,
and
that
he
dyd
ouercome
kyng
Rychard
chiefly
by
his
helpe
and
meanes
.
So
that
the
kyng
coulde
not
bee
perswaded
,
that
he
was
any
suche
offender
,
had
not
it
bene
shewed
him
after
by
manifest
tokens
and
apparent
argumentes
the
it
was
true
as
he
saied
.
Whom
the
king
then
caused
to
be
taken
and
examined
of
the
matter
,
after
the
which
examinacion
he
was
proued
to
be
an
offender
.
Then
the
kynge
doubtynge
what
to
dooe
with
him
,
dyd
consult
and
breath
a
lytle
with
him selfe
,
for
he
feared
,
that
his
brother
lord
Thomas
by
whom
he
had
shewed
great
kyndnesse
woulde
take
it
greuously
,
also
&
yf
he
shoulde
remitte
that
faulte
,
other
would
abuse
his
lemtee
,
and
trespace
more
highly
.
Albe
it
,
at
the
laste
he
wylled
that
he
shoulde
suffer
for
his
offence
,
and
so
caused
hym
to
bee
behedded
.
The
cause
that
their
loue
(
as
men
reporte
)
dyd
chaunge
into
hatred
was
this
.
The
lorde
Wylliam
consideryng
that
he
saued
the
kyng
and
brought
hym
to
this
realme
to
be
gouernour
thought
he
could
neuer
bee
recompensed
for
hys
so
doyng
,
and
wher
as
the
kyng
also
remembring
this
benefyte
,
dyd
make
hym
his
chiefe
chamberlayn
,
and
gaue
hym
the
hyghest
promocions
that
he
had
,
he
lytle
regarded
them
and
loked
for
some
greater
rewarde
,
wherfore
,
the
king
perceauynge
that
,
was
sore
greued
with
hym
,
and
so
thei
bothe
dyd
fall
at
debate
and
hatred
eche
wyth
other
.
Also
at
this
time
the
king
thought
best
to
vse
some
asperite
in
correcting
the
offences
of
his
subiectes
,
because
the
some
had
taken
suche
heart
and
audacitee
to
them
,
the
thei
feared
not
to
speake
euel
of
his
maiestie
with
most
spiteful
and
contumeleous
wordes
,
trusting
euer
that
the
fayned
Rychard
duke
of
York
,
now
lately
rysen
from
death
to
lyfe
on
gods
name
,
should
claime
the
crowne
,
&
enheret
his
counterfeted
fathers
possessions
,
&
when
such
persons
had
suffered
due
ponishment
for
their
offences
,
other
learning
by
their
neighbours
mischaunce
to
beware
,
dyd
frome
the
tyme
beare
theim selfes
as
true
&
faithfull
subiectes
,
&
assysted
him
with
al
their
power
,
at
what
time
he
required
help
of
them
.
After
the
death
of
this
William
Stanley
,
Giles
Dabeney
was
chosen
and
made
chiefe
chamberlain
.
And
now
the
kyng
was
in
a
good
staye
for
his
realme
,
sauyng
that
Ireland
was
not
wel
weded
of
the
pernicious
sede
the
was
sowed
by
the
young
man
Perkin
Warbeck
and
his
secte
.
Wherfore
,
he
sent
sir
Henry
Deny
late
abbot
of
Lankton
abbey
thither
,
&
made
him
chauncellour
ouer
al
that
I
le
and
Edward
Ponyng
to
serch
all
places
that
the
forenamed
Perken
was
in
,
to
punish
them
extremely
in
the
example
of
other
,
the
were
giltie
of
that
crime
but
when
thei
heard
of
this
,
thei
fled
for
the
most
part
into
woddes
&
marysh
places
for
the
defence
&
safgard
of
them selfes
,
there
consultyng
to
kepe
open
warre
agaynst
hym
,
whiche
Edwarde
after
that
he
persued
theim
many
times
,
and
coulde
neuer
try
it
wyth
them
because
thei
wer
so
disparsed
as
foren
and
wilde
people
,
he
returned
backe
,
and
suspectinge
that
the
earle
of
Kyldare
was
the
occasion
of
this
,
attached
him
at
the
counsayl
of
the
erle
his
euel
willers
,
and
brought
him
as
prisoner
to
England
.
Wher
when
he
was
arained
,
and
certain
matters
of
treason
laied
to
his
charge
,
he
aduoided
them
all
,
&
clerly
quite
him selfe
:
whome
the
kynge
dimissed
,
and
sente
hym
to
Irelande
there
to
bee
gouernour
and
captayne
ouer
theim
as
he
was
before
.
So
that
now
the
kyng
beeyng
oute
of
all
feare
of
battayle
,
dyd
take
hys
progresse
to
shyre
,
there
to
recreate
his
spirites
and
solace
him selfe
with
his
mother
lady
Margarete
,
wyfe
and
countesse
to
the
Earle
of
Darby
.
Yet
when
the
king
was
thus
delityng
hym selfe
,
Perken
Warbecke
could
not
moderate
or
rule
hym selfe
,
although
so
manye
suffered
and
were
put
to
execucion
for
his
mischife
but
to
proue
again
the
chaunce
of
battel
gathered
a
great
armye
of
men
aswell
prisoners
,
slaues
,
sanctuary
men
as
other
&
came
into
Kent
,
because
the
wind
so
serued
,
&
ther
caused
certayne
to
land
,
&
to
enquire
yf
the
Kentish
men
would
bear
with
him
,
with
whom
the
Kentish
men
working
guiles
promised
the
thei
would
assist
him
,
yf
he
&
his
companie
would
land
ther.
Albeit
,
the
same
Perken
fearing
the
thei
meaned
falshode
and
craft
,
would
not
descende
him selfe
,
but
caused
certain
of
his
souldiours
to
lande
,
whiche
persones
beynge
a
pretye
way
from
their
shippes
,
wer
sore
beaten
and
put
to
flight
,
and
many
of
theim
taken
prisoners
&
after
wer
condempned
to
dye
.
Wherfore
Perken
failing
of
his
purpose
fled
backe
to
Flaunders
,
and
there
consulted
with
his
frendes
vntyll
suche
time
he
had
been
better
prepared
bothe
of
men
and
counsayle
.
The
kynge
herynge
that
hys
enemyes
had
made
entraunce
into
his
realme
,
left
of
his
progresse
&
purposed
to
go
to
London
,
but
beynge
certified
the
next
day
after
,
how
wel
thei
had
sped
,
continued
&
went
forth
of
his
progresse
,
sendyng
to
theim
Richard
Gilford
,
to
geue
thankes
and
promise
of
a
good
turne
herafter
,
for
the
good
seruice
that
thei
had
done
him
in
those
tumultes
and
assaultes
of
his
enemies
.
Also
that
thei
might
not
haue
any
accesse
herafter
into
those
parties
the
king
commaunded
the
lordes
to
bee
defended
strongely
with
bulwarkes
&
other
sure
munimentes
&
fortresses
,
of
the
whiche
this
same
Perken
beyng
certified
,
hastened
the
more
to
renue
battaill
against
the
kyng
,
that
he
might
not
haue
longer
space
,
through
his
delaye
,
to
dooe
all
these
thynges
for
the
defence
of
his
realme
and
so
came
to
Irelande
with
all
his
armie
,
and
there
tariyng
a
space
,
sailed
to
Scotlande
for
ayde
and
succour
of
kyng
Iames
,
trustyng
to
finde
grace
at
his
hand
,
to
whom
he
spake
after
this
maner
.
I
thinke
it
is
not
vnknowen
to
you
moste
noble
kyng
in
what
ruine
the
stocke
of
Edwarde
the
fourth
of
that
name
is
now
of
late
,
whiche
if
you
dooe
not
know
,
and
it
please
your
grace
so
to
take
me
I
am
his
soonne
,
&
by
the
power
of
God
,
preserued
aliue
at
this
houre
from
the
mightie
hand
of
a
tiranne
.
For
my
father
when
he
died
,
apointed
his
brother
Richard
duke
of
Gloucestre
to
bee
our
gouernour
&
ꝓtectour
.
Albeit
he
was
rather
a
destroyer
of
our
progenie
then
a
mainteiner
of
it
,
for
he
wyllyng
to
be
kyng
hymself
,
and
depriue
vs
of
our
right
and
title
,
commaunded
that
we
should
bothe
bee
slain
,
and
dispatched
out
of
this
worlde
.
Therfore
he
hauyng
then
full
power
to
ordre
vs
at
his
will
,
did
cause
my
brother
to
bee
destroyed
,
and
because
that
he
might
bee
without
some
parte
of
that
offense
,
and
not
shewe
hymself
all
a
tiranne
,
he
caused
me
to
bee
conueighed
to
some
straunge
and
foren
countree
,
and
there
to
bee
desolate
of
all
comforte
and
helpe
.
And
so
kyng
Richard
did
hold
his
croune
by
dispatchyng
away
of
vs
two
,
so
that
I
could
not
tell
by
the
reason
of
my
tendre
age
,
what
I
was
,
vntill
now
of
late
that
myne
aunte
ladie
Margarete
beyng
in
Flaunders
did
shewe
me
what
I
was
after
she
had
seen
me
,
and
to
the
entent
I
might
recouer
again
my
fathers
possessions
,
she
hath
geuen
me
for
her
power
a
bonde
of
menne
,
wyllyng
me
the
I
should
desire
the
helpe
of
externe
nacions
and
countrees
.
And
so
I
am
come
to
you
for
succoure
,
whom
as
it
is
reported
will
helpe
at
all
tymes
euery
manne
in
his
right
,
and
in
case
bee
I
shall
finde
you
fauorable
to
me
,
you
shall
binde
me
and
all
myne
,
neuer
to
thynke
ourselfes
hable
to
make
you
amendes
.
When
he
had
thus
saied
,
the
kyng
promised
hym
that
it
should
neuer
repente
hym
of
his
commyng
to
hym
,
and
bad
him
to
take
a
good
hearte
,
&
after
this
the
kyng
assemblyng
his
counsaill
together
,
asked
what
thei
thought
best
in
that
matter
,
and
whether
any
deliberacion
should
bee
taken
of
it
,
or
no.
To
whom
some
of
theim
that
were
w●sest
,
aunswered
that
it
were
folishenes
to
go
fur
〈…〉
in
suche
a
matter
,
consideryng
that
he
was
but
a
painted
and
feigned
duke
and
had
no
right
to
England
.
Other
also
saied
that
it
was
for
diuerse
causes
moste
profitable
to
the
commen
wealth
,
partely
that
this
Parkyn
,
if
his
matters
goo
well
forwarde
,
would
rewarde
theim
,
as
thei
would
desire
and
enriche
their
realme
moste
plentefully
by
his
liberalite
,
partely
also
that
Henry
the
kyng
perceiuyng
their
kyng
to
assist
hym
,
would
gladly
paie
tribute
to
hym
for
a
peace
and
concord
to
bee
had
.
When
this
counsaill
was
gyuen
,
the
kyng
did
gladly
folowe
it
,
and
that
his
loue
might
bee
more
apparent
to
the
people
,
he
caused
ladie
Katherine
doughter
to
th
erle
of
Huntley
,
his
nigh
kinseman
,
to
be
maried
to
hym
.
After
this
was
dooen
,
the
kyng
willyng
that
this
Perkyn
should
reigne
in
Englande
,
hastened
his
iourney
towarde
the
borders
,
&
there
commyng
,
proclamed
openly
the
all
should
bee
pardoned
the
would
beare
with
the
duke
of
Yorke
,
&
fight
in
his
quarell
:
and
that
menne
might
for
feare
submitte
theim selfes
,
thei
burned
,
spoyled
,
&
killed
with
out
all
mercie
as
ferre
as
thei
did
go
,
but
the
kyng
perceiuyng
that
no
Englishemen
came
to
aide
this
young
duke
,
&
that
his
souldiours
wer
so
loden
with
praies
&
spoiles
that
thei
would
not
gladly
go
further
he
returned
backe
to
Scotland
cariyng
with
hym
infinite
goodes
&
riches
.
And
when
this
duke
came
to
Scotlande
again
,
consideryng
the
greate
distruccion
and
losse
of
the
Englishmen
,
&
that
none
came
to
aide
hym
,
to
the
entent
that
his
iuglyng
of
his
countrefeict
dignite
might
not
be
perceiued
,
he
saied
verie
craftely
with
a
loude
voice
.
Oh
wretch
and
stonie
hearte
,
that
I
am
not
moued
with
the
losse
and
death
of
so
many
Englishemen
of
myne
,
and
at
that
woorde
he
desired
the
kyng
that
he
would
not
molestate
his
realme
herafter
with
suche
cruel
tormentyng
,
and
fieryng
.
To
whom
the
kyng
shaped
hym
this
aunswere
right
shortely
.
Truely
sir
me
thynke
you
take
charge
and
thought
of
an
other
mannes
realme
and
not
of
your
owne
,
because
that
I
coulde
se
no
manne
that
woulde
take
your
parte
,
and
helpe
you
with
his
power
,
when
you
were
now
last
emong
theim
.
And
for
this
cause
the
kyng
did
litle
esteme
hym
after
that
tyme
,
countyng
hym
inconstant
,
vnstable
,
and
speakyng
woordes
not
agreyng
to
his
promise
.
When
the
English
lordes
and
captaines
hearde
of
this
busines
thei
wer
in
greate
feare
,
&
fled
for
safegade
of
their
lifes
euery
manne
to
his
castell
and
holde
,
and
gatheryng
an
axmie
to
withstand
their
enemies
certified
the
kyng
in
all
post
haste
of
the
Scottes
enterprise
,
whiche
hearyng
,
prepared
an
armie
in
all
the
hast
to
fight
against
theim
.
But
the
Scottes
beyng
loden
with
their
praies
and
spoiles
that
thei
had
,
were
gone
backe
to
their
countre
,
ere
the
Englishe
menne
could
bee
readie
.
And
this
was
the
first
commocion
&
busines
of
the
Scottes
against
the
Englishemen
.
When
the
Scottes
were
thus
gone
,
and
the
kyng
certified
of
it
,
he
thought
not
to
suffer
theim
lenger
,
leste
that
by
long
tariyng
&
deferryng
of
the
matter
,
thei
should
take
heart
,
and
so
with
more
fearsenes
inuade
the
realme
again
.
And
assemblyng
his
counsaill
together
,
shewed
theim
that
it
was
for
the
proffite
of
the
publique
weale
to
warre
against
his
enemies
,
to
whom
thei
all
agreed
right
gladly
,
and
for
the
mainteinyng
of
this
battaill
,
there
was
leuyed
a
certain
summe
or
tribute
to
be
paid
on
euery
mannes
hed
,
whiche
paiment
although
it
was
but
easie
and
small
,
yet
many
of
the
commen
people
grudged
to
paie
it
.
At
this
parliament
also
and
conuocacion
there
was
certain
lawes
,
actes
and
statutes
confirmed
and
made
,
as
thought
moste
expedient
for
the
publique
weale
.
And
after
this
was
dooen
,
the
kyng
prepared
to
fight
in
all
the
haste
,
and
gatheryng
an
armie
,
made
Giles
Dabeney
graund
capitain
ouer
theim
,
and
in
his
goyng
to
Scotlande
,
there
beganne
sodenly
ciuile
battaill
in
the
realme
,
whiche
was
for
the
paiment
of
this
money
,
for
that
the
Cornishemen
,
(
whiche
made
this
insurreccion
)
beeyng
but
poore
,
could
not
well
paie
this
tribute
.
And
so
they
gatheryng
all
together
,
one
Michael
Ioseph
Smyth
and
Thomas
Flāmoke
,
did
take
*
The
blacke
Smyth
.
vpon
theim
the
gouernaunce
of
all
this
compainie
.
And
seyng
theim
greued
sore
that
they
should
paye
so
muche
,
did
more
and
more
incense
theyr
myndes
againste
their
prynce
.
Albeit
they
layde
this
faulte
,
and
cause
of
exaction
,
to
Ihon
Morton
bishoppe
of
Cantorbury
,
and
Ruigenald
Braye
because
they
were
chief
of
the
kynges
house
.
Thus
they
preparyng
theim selues
to
warre
,
when
they
had
aswell
sufficiente
viandrye
as
all
other
thynges
ready
,
they
tooke
theyr
iourney
to
Welles
,
and
from
thence
entended
to
go
to
London
,
When
the
kyng
was
shewed
of
this
by
his
auditours
,
that
they
wer
vp
,
and
that
the
lorde
Twychet
,
and
the
lorde
Audely
with
other
of
the
nobylitee
had
taken
their
partes
,
he
thought
fyrste
to
scoure
his
realme
of
suche
rebelles
and
traytours
ere
he
would
fight
against
the
Scottes
.
And
therfore
he
caused
Giles
Dabeney
to
returne
backe
agayn
then
goyng
vpon
the
Scottes
,
whose
armye
he
encreased
and
multiplyed
with
many
pycked
and
freshe
warryers
,
that
he
might
the
better
with
lesse
laboure
ouercome
these
rebelles
.
Also
least
that
the
Scottes
might
nowe
(
hauyng
good
oportunite
)
inuade
the
realme
again
(
in
this
time
of
ciuile
battyle
)
he
caused
lorde
Thomas
erle
of
Surrey
,
a
puissaunt
and
most
redoubted
warryer
whome
he
had
taken
prysoner
,
at
the
ouerthrowe
of
kyng
Richard
,
and
a
litle
before
that
,
had
set
at
libertie
,
and
made
treasourer
of
Englande
,
after
the
death
of
Iohn
Dynham
,
to
gather
a
bond
of
men
at
Durham
,
&
there
to
kepe
of
the
Scottes
,
yf
they
should
chaunce
to
come
,
vntyll
suche
tyme
that
that
Cornyshe
menne
beyng
pacified
and
subdued
,
he
might
send
to
theim
the
forenamed
Giles
agayne
with
all
his
power
and
armye
.

In

Charles
the

kyng
commyng
from
the
warres
that
he
had
at
Naples
with
Ferdinande
,
sente
Ambassadours
to
the
kyng
for
a
peace
and
league
of
amitee
to
bee
confirmed
.
When
the
kyng
was
enformed
of
their
commyng
,
and
that
they
were
at
Caleis
,
he
sente
certayn
of
his
nobilitie
to

commyng
,
and
to
kepe
theim
purposely
at
Douer
,
vntyll
suche
tyme
that
this
busynesse
were
ended
,
that
they
might
not
knowe
of
it
in
any
wise
.
And
nowe
the
Cornyshemenne
gooynge
from
Welles
(
where
they
had
theyr
graunde
capitayne
lorde
Audeley
)
went
to
Saulisbury
and
from
thence
to
Wynchester
,
and
so
to
Kent
,
where
they
looked
for
helpe
,
but
they
were
deceaued
,
for
the
earle
of
Kent
,
and
the

were
ready
to
withstande
theyr
power
,
and
to
cause
the
people
to
beare
trewe
heartes
to
theyr
kynge
.
For
the
whiche
,
many
of
the
Cornyshe
men
faynted
and
had
lesse
mynde
to
fight
,
and
for
feare
fled
priuely
in
the
nyght
from
their
compaignie
.
But
the
captaynes
perceauyng
they
coulde
haue
no
helpe
at
theyr
handes
,
trusted
to
theyr
owne
power
,
and
brought
theim
to
Blackeheath
feld
nigh
London
,
and
there
pytched
theyr
tentes
in
the
playn
to
byd
battail
to
the
kyng
,
if
he
would
mete
theim
,
or
els
to
inuade
the
cytie
,
whome
the
kynge
perceauyng
to
be
there
readye
to
fight
,
he
caused
Henry
Burschere
erle
of
Essex
,
Edmunde
Polam
erle
of
Suffolke
and
Richard
Thomas
,
three
noble
warryers
to
besiege
theim
on
both
sydes
wyth
two
wynges
,
and
so
came
hym self
in
the
myddest
sendyng
before
,
Giles
Dabeney
with
a
greate
power
.
And
after
his
commyng
thus
to
the
felde
,
bothe
the
erles
and
Richard
Thomas
sette
vpon
theim
violently
,
and
at
the
first
brunt
put
theim
to
flight
and
killed
aboute
two
thousande
that
res●sied
,
and
tooke
prisoners
more
then
could
bee
told
and
emonges
theim
the
Captaynes
which
shortely
after
wer
put
to
death
.
But
this
Michael
Ioseph
was
a
man
of
suche
stoute
courage
&
valiauntnesse
,
that
he
neuer
fainted
or
once
gaue
backe
vntyll
such
tyme
he
was
stryken
downe
,
and
kylled
openly
.
When
this
battaile
was
ended
the
kynge
loste
but
thre
hundreth
in
all
his
compaignye
that
wer
kylled
at
that
presente
.
Also
the
prysoners
that
were
taken
he
pardoned
,
sauyng
the
captaynes
and
first
autours
of
that
mischief
,
whose
quarters
he
would
haue
to
bee
put
on
stakes
and
set
in
dyuerse
places
of
Cornewell
,
that
theyr
naughtie
dooynges
and
foolishe
entrepryses
might
bee
a
document
for
other
hereafter
to
beware
:
but
because
there
were
many
of
that
countree
that
would
gladly
haue
renewed
battaile
,
yf
they
might
haue
had
some
Capitayn
,
and
that
they
wer
nothyng
abashed
for
the
ouerthrowe
of
theyr
late
insurreccion
,
he
turned
his
mynd
,
so
that
thei
wer
not
had
thither
nor
their
quarters
set
vpon
any
stakes
there
.
When
this
busines
was
in
hand
,
the
kyng
of
Scottes
being
certified
of
it
by
certain
spies
,
thought
best
to
inuade
Englande
againe
,
and
burned
all
the
waye
as
he
did
before
,
lest
that
the
kyng
should
prouoke
hym
to
it
of
force
,
because
he
had
dooen
so
muche
hurte
to
it
before
,
and
thus
came
to
Durham
and
there
burned
all
aboute
,
entending
also
to
wynne
Norham
Castle
,
whiche
the
Bishoppe
had
furnished
a
litle
before
with
menne
and
vitaile
sufficiently
,
so
that
he
coulde
haue
none
accesse
into
that
castell
.
And
this
was
the
bishop
Foxe
,
that
was
bishop
of
Exeter
,
and
for
his
godlines
and
verteouse
liuing
after
that
,
made
bishoppe
of
Welles
and
Bathe
.
Whiche
bishop
nowe
being
in
this
businesse
,
certified
the
kyng
of
it
in
all
the
haste
,
and
also
th
erle
of
Surrey
,
that
was
then
in
Yorke
shyre
with
a
greate
army
of
menne
.
To
whome
the

came
shortly
after

with

With

althoughe
not
so
noble
in
degree
,
yet
as
valiaunte
in
martiall
feactes
and
prowesses
of
warre
.
The
Scottes
hearing
of
the
Earle
of
Surrey
that
he
was
comming
and
at
hande
with
a
greate
power
,
then
beseging
this
forenamed
Castell
,
whiche
they
coulde
by
no
meanes
ouercome
,
they
fledde
streighte
backe
to
Scotlande
,
whome
the
Earle
folowed
as
longe
as
his
vyttailles
serued
,
and
after
that
returned
backe
to
Durham
,
theyr
abiding
vntyll
such
time
he
knewe
furder
of
the
kynges
pleasure
.
And
in
this
meane
space
,
one
Henrye
Hailes
was
sente
Ambassadoure
frome
Ferdinand
vnto
the
kyng
of
Scottes
for
a
generall
peace
to
bee
had
with
hym
and
the
Kyng
of
Englande
,
for
he
loued
hym
well
,
and
kyng
Henrye
also
to
whose
soonne
the
younge
Prynce
Arthure
,
he
woulde
haue
geuen
his
doughter
Ladye
Katheryne
in
mariage
that
by
affinytee
and
kyndered
of
blood
their
loue
might
continue
for
euer
.
So
this
Henrye
entreated
hartelye
the
King
of
Scottes
for
a
peace
,
and
when
he
had
some
hope
in
it
,
he
wrote
vnto
the
kyng
of
Englande
,
that
it
would
please
hym
to
sende
one
of
his
nobles
to
helpe
to
conclude
this
matter
with
hym
and
the
Scottes
.
The
kyng
because
he
had
been
in
greate
trouble
and
then
veraye
desierous
of
peace
,
he
sent
the
byshoppe
of
Durham
to
hym
in
all
the
haste
.
So
that
this
Henrye
and
the
bishop
reasoned
with
the
Scottyshe
ambassadours
as
concernyng
this
peace
to
be
had
,
albeit
thei
could
not
agree
,
because
that
kyng
Henrye
desiered
to
haue
Perkyn
Warbecke
that
was
the
cause
of
all
this
busynes
,
and
had
so
greatly
disquieted
his
realme
,
whome
the
kyng
woulde
not
delyuer
,
although
he
might
of
ryghte
,
consideryng
his
falsehode
and
deceyte
that
he
had
vsed
with
hym
.
Therfore
,
after
that
they
had
reasoned
much
of
this
matter
,
&
could
bring
it
to
no
ende
,
yet
a
truce
was
taken
for
certain
yeres
of
this
condicion
,
that
the
same
Perkin
Warbecke
should
bee
conueyghed
oute
of
Scotland
,
&
not
to
tary
there
longer
.
Whyle
this
was
dooinge
,
kyng
Henry
caused
the
Ambassadours
of
the
Frenche
kyng
to
bee
brought
to
hym
,
which
as
it
is
shewed
before
,
wer
stopped
at
Douer
of
their
iourney
,
vntill
suche
tyme
that
the
insurreccion
of
the
Eornish
men
was
ceassed
,
and
hearing
that
they
came
for
a
peace
and
league
to
bee
made
,
graunted
theim
it
right
gladly
.
So
that
nowe
being
reconciled
with
.ii.
kynges
,
&
the
same
his
neighbours
,
he
thanked
Fernand
&
his
wife
Elizabeth
for
the
they
caused
this
peace
to
bee
made
betwixte
hym
and
the
Scottes
,
and
rewarded
the
Ambassadoure
moste
worthely
after
a
princely
maner
.
And
the
tyme
that
this
vnitee
and
concorde
was
made
,
it
was
the
yere
of
oure
Lorde
a
thousande
foure
hundreth
foure
score
and
eighten
,
and
the
.xii.
yere
of
kyng
Henry
his
reigne
.
And
the
kynge
of
Scottes
kepte
his
promesse
The
.xii.
pere
of
Henry
the
.vii.
well
ynoughe
.
For
when
he
perceiued
manifestly
that
he
was
deluded
,
he
called
vnto
hym
Perkin
Warbeck
,
and
first
declared
his
benefites
&
pleasures
that
he
had
dooen
vnto
hym
,
and
then
counsailed
hym
to
gette
hym
vnto
some
place
where
he
mighte
byde
in
safegarde
,
and
come
againe
another
time
when
he
shoulde
haue
more
oportunitee
But
neuer
after
to
looke
for
any
helpe
at
his
hand
,
partely
because
he
had
made
peace
with
the
kyng
of
Englande
,
and
partely
because
he
sawe
that
no
Englishemen
came
to
take
his
parte
,
wherfore
he
desired
hym
not
to
bee
misgreued
that
he
did
thus
leaue
hym
,
&
also
counsailed
hym
to
goo
into
some
other
place
or
regyon
,
wherfore
this
Perkin
was
veraye
sorye
&
(
as
the
kyng
had
counsailed
hym
)
departed
thence
with
his
wife
,
and
went
into
Ireland
,
determining
with
hym selfe
if
he
might
haue
no
helpe
of
the
menne
of
Cornewale
,
to
retourne
thence
as
faste
as
myghte
bee
home
to
his
greate
mailres
&
aunte
Margaret
into
Flaundres
.
But
he
was
no
soner
come
thither
,
then
he
heard
by
diuers
messengers
that
they
of
Cornewale
were
as
ready
to
fyght
against
kyng
Henry
as
euer
they
wer
before
,
of
hoope
of
the
whiche
he
went
streyght
in
to
Cornewall
&
there
dyd
sturre
vp
their
heartes
with
gyftes
and
promyses
,
that
all
immediatelye
called
him
their
capitain
&
saied
that
thei
woulde
folow
hym
and
in
all
thinges
obey
promptly
hys
commaundementes
.
Then
was
Perken
in
as
good
hoope
as
euer
he
was
,
and
(
because
he
would
do
nothynge
rashelye
and
withoute
aduisemente
)
he
purposed
fyrste
to
ouercome
citees
and
all
wel
defended
places
that
lay
in
his
way
,
and
so
to
get
as
many
as
he
coulde
to
folowe
hym
and
to
take
his
part
,
and
incontinently
,
to
buckle
with
the
kynges
host
.
When
he
had
thus
deliberate
,
he
went
streight
to
Exeter
which
was
the
next
citee
that
he
coulde
come
vnto
and
besieged
it
,
and
because
he
had
no
gunnes
to
breake
downe
the
walles
,
he
laboured
all
that
myght
bee
to
breake
the
gates
,
but
when
he
saw
that
thei
could
not
easely
be
betten
downe
with
any
thyng
,
streight
with
he
set
fyre
on
theim
.
Whereof
,
the
citezins
were
veray
,
sore
afraied
and
priuely
in
the
night
let
downe
diuerse
ouer
the
walles
with
ropes
to
go
certifie
the
kyng
of
their
trouble
,
and
in
the
meane
tyme
when
thei
saw
that
their
enemies
had
almost
brent
vp
the
gates
of
the
one
side
,
tooke
great
blockes
and
set
them
on
fyre
on
the
other
side
,
for
none
other
cause
but
that
aswell
their
enemyes
therby
might
be
excluded
,
as
thei
them selfes
included
.
And
thei
not
trusting
to
this
only
,
made
also
within
great
ditches
&
other
thinges
to
defend
than
from
the
inuasion
of
the
rebelles
When
Perken
saw
this
,
he
got
ladders
,
and
would
by
that
meanes
haue
come
into
the
citee
,
but
they
came
not
so
sone
vp
,
but
thei
were
beate
downe
again
,
and
by
this
meanes
many
were
there
slayne
þet
would
he
not
thence
depart
,
but
trusted
surely
at
the
laste
that
thei
should
be
glad
to
yelde
theim selfes
al
that
wer
within
for
lack
of
viandrie
.
But
as
sone
as
the
kyng
hearde
of
this
,
he
hasted
with
his
hoost
toward
Exeter
as
faste
as
was
possible
and
sente
dyuerse
souldiours
beefore
to
certifie
all
menne
of
his
commyng
and
preparaunce
,
for
at
that
tyme
there
was
set
forth
to
helpe
theym
of
Exeter
,
Thomas
Trencherd

William
Corteney
Walter
Cortney
,
Edmond

,
Ihon
Halemel
Peter

Thomas

,
with
a
great
host
whose
capitain
was
Edward
Corteny
erle
of
Denshire
,
&
his
sonne
William
,
whiche
was
a
young
man
of
mooste
noble
courage
,
whiche
thyng
when
Peter
heard
tell
of
,
he
left
besiegyng
of
Exeter
and
went
to
the
nexte
towne
whiche
is
called
Taūtun
&
there
vieued
his
hoost
and
set
it
in
aray
redye
to
fyght
,
howbeit
,
,
he
had
but
lytle
affiaunce
in
the
same
,
because
many
of
his
souldiours
were
so
slenderly
harneissed
,
and
no
better
skylled
in
warre
.
When
the
kyng
sawe
he
was
gone
to
Taūtun
he
hasted
thither
after
him
with
all
spede
.
Thether
came
also
Edward
the
duke
of
Buckingham
a
young
man
veray
valiaunt
and
of
lustie
courage
,
and
hym
folowed
a
greate
compaignye
of
noble
men
as
Giles
Brigge
,
Alexander
Brayham
,
Moryshe

,
Robert

But
the
king
when
he
came
nygh
to
the
towne
sente
before
to
begynne
battayle
,
Roberte
Broke
,
Lorde
Rycharde
Thomas
,
and
Giles
Dabeney
with
a
great
and
stronge
hoost
,
to
the
entent
that
he
hym selfe
with
his
souldiours
myght
set
vpon
them
behynd
.
But
this
deuise
and
purpose
of
the
kyng
was
al
superfluous
.
For
Perkin
,
so
sone
as
he
espyed
that
the
kyng
was
redie
to
fight
,
fledde
priuely
in
the
nyght
into
a
sanctuary
at
Bellylo
abbey
,
and
there
lurked
.
But
whether
this
Perken
so
dyd
for
feare
least
his
men
should
forsake
hym
or
for
the
timeditie
of
hym selfe
,
it
is
as
much
vncertayne
,
as
it
is
probable
and
sure
that
the
kyng
tooke
by
hys
flyght
greate
commoditee
.
For
the
Corneshe
menne
were
surelye
purposed
eyther
to
wynne
and
ouercome
theyr
enemies
or
elles
not
one
of
theim
to
haue
lyued
anye
daye
lenger
.
When
kynge
Henrye
knewe
that
Perkin
was
gone
,
he
sente
after
hym
many
horse
menne
that
yf
it
myghte
bee
,
they
shoulde
ouertake
hym
in
hys
iourney
and
brynge
hym
backe
.
But
Perkyn
Warbecke
made
suche
spede
,
that
he
was
not
seene
before
he
came
into
the
Sanctuarie
,
but
his
petie
capitaines
coulde
not
scape
so
clene
.
For
of
theim
,
the
moost
part
were
ta
ken
and
brought
backe
againe
to
the
kyng
.
The
residue
of
the
souldiours
when
thei
vnderstode
the
Perkyn
their
chief
capitain
was
fled
and
the
other
taken
,
gaue
vp
theim selfes
by
and
by
to
the
king
without
any
more
busines
,
and
of
hym
most
gently
wer
forgeuen
.
When
all
was
dooen
,
the
kynge
went
again
to
Ereter
and
there
both
gaue
great
thankes
to
such
as
wer
worthy
,
and
punished
the
authoures
and
sturrers
vp
of
this
insurrection
moost
straitlye
.
And
in
the
meane
tyme
many
of
the
souldiours
road
to
s
.
Mighels
mounte
&
there
(
as
chaunce
was
)
found
Katherin
Perking
wife
,
and
brought
her
streight
like
a
bond
woman
and
captiue
to
the
kyng
.
And
the
kyng
sent
her
by
and
by
accompanied
with
a
goodly
sort
of
matrons
(
because
she
was
so
goodly
a
young
woman
)
to
London
to
the
quene
as
a
true
and
sure
token
of
vyctorie
.
And
whiles
he
taried
there
at
Exeter
supposyng
with
him selfe
,
that
he
could
haue
no
perfect
victory
vntyl
he
had
gotten
Perkin
him self
,
which
was
the
beginner
of
all
this
sedicion
and
strife
,
sent
forth
two
companies
of
menne
to
besiege
the
sanctuarye
wher
Perkin
was
,
that
by
no
meanes
he
myght
scape
away
,
and
sent
him
worde
also
by
certain
trustie
messengers
that
yf
he
would
humblie
submit
him selfe
,
he
should
be
forgeuen
of
all
that
was
committed
.
Wherfore
,
Perkin
now
seynge
and
ponderynge
the
state
of
miserie
,
that
he
was
in
,
went
voluntarily
out
of
the
sanctuary
and
commytted
hym selfe
to
the
kynges
pleasure
.
Then
was
the
kyng
weray
glad
and
toke
his
iourney
immediatly
after
towarde
London
,
not
without
the
great
metyng
of
people
whych
came
out
of
euery
quarter
to
se
this
feloe
as
he
were
a
monstre
,
because
he
beyng
but
an
aliente
durst
bee
so
bold
to
come
in
to
this
so
noble
a
realme
to
make
battaill
,
and
delude
noble
menne
after
suche
a
fassion
.
But
when
the
kyng
was
come
to
London
he
appointed
certain
menne
to
kepe
hym
bothe
night
&
daie
verie
vigilantly
,
to
th
entent
that
he
might
neither
conueigh
hymself
out
of
the
lande
,
ner
goo
any
whether
within
this
realme
to
make
any
like
perturbacion
and
disquietnes
.
After
this
the
kyng
perceiuyng
the
there
were
many
as
well
in
Somerset
as
in
Deuenshire
,
whiche
were
helpers
of
the
rebelles
greatly
,
bothe
goyng
foorth
&
commyng
homeward
,
thought
it
good
to
punishe
theim
also
,
least
peraduenture
thei
might
be
the
more
bold
to
dooe
a
like
thyng
after
.
And
therfore
he
committed
this
busines
to
Amis
Paulet
knight
,
and
Robert
Sherburne
deane
of
Poules
to
be
dooen
.
Which
in
serchyng
out
all
suche
thoroweout
bothe
the
shires
,
wer
verie
exacte
and
diligent
,
but
thei
wer
fauorable
to
al
such
as
did
it
for
feare
or
compulsion
.
Yet
were
thei
to
none
so
fauorable
but
thei
were
thought
for
their
defaultes
indifferently
to
be
punished
.
So
that
equitie
therin
was
verie
well
executed
.
In
the
same
yere
of
a
small
matter
befell
greate
strife
betwene
kyng
Henry
and
Iames
kyng
of
Scotlande
,
whiche
strife
beganne
of
this
fassion
.
Certain
younge
menne
of
the
Scottes
came
armed
vnto
Duresme
castell
,
&
beheld
it
wonderous
circumspectly
as
though
thei
had
been
desierous
to
know
what
was
there
dooen
.
But
when
the
kepers
of
the
castle
could
not
perceaue
that
thei
went
aboute
any
hurte
or
displeasure
,
&
seing
theim
go
awaie
of
their
owne
accorde
,
thei
made
no
woordes
but
let
theim
alone
.
But
when
thei
came
again
the
nexte
daie
&
vieued
it
likewise
,
the
kepers
of
the
said
castel
demaunded
of
theim
what
was
their
intent
.
Thei
aunswered
theim
(
like
rude
and
vnmanerlie
ientlemenne
)
as
frowardly
as
could
bee
thought
,
in
so
muche
that
at
the
laste
through
muche
altercacion
of
bothe
parties
,
thei
fell
together
by
the
eares
,
and
there
were
some
of
the
Scottes
slain
&
the
residue
put
to
flight
.
Which
when
thei
came
home
certified
their
kyng
of
the
same
.
Wherwith
he
beyng
sore
moued
to
angre
,
sent
woorde
to
kyng
Henry
that
he
would
without
doubt
reuenge
his
querell
,
wherfore
kyng
Henry
being
verie
sorie
,
not
so
much
forfeare
,
as
for
to
liue
in
quietnes
&
peace
in
his
age
,
made
him
aunswere
that
it
was
not
doen
through
his
default
or
counsaill
,
but
rather
by
the
rashenesse
of
his
subiectes
whiche
if
thei
could
bee
ꝓued
guiltie
should
be
accordyng
to
the
faulte
punished
.
Wherfore
he
desired
him
moste
louingly
to
be
contented
.
But
this
was
not
hable
to
mitigate
or
swage
the
Scottes
angre
&
outrageousnesse
.
For
the
whiche
cause
Richard
bishop
of
Duresme
whiche
was
more
heuie
then
all
other
,
because
his
seruūates
were
the
beginners
of
this
discord
,
wrote
many
letters
to
kyng
Iames
to
desire
hym
to
kepe
peace
&
bee
at
quiet
.
With
the
whiche
letters
the
kynges
rage
was
so
quenched
,
that
he
bothe
sent
verie
kynd
letters
again
to
hym
,
and
desired
hym
hartely
to
come
ouer
and
talke
with
hym
.
Of
the
whiche
tydynges
the
bishop
was
verie
glad
,
and
went
streight
to
kyng
Henry
to
shewe
hym
the
matter
and
had
leaue
of
hym
incontinenly
to
go
ouer
to
hym
.
When
he
came
into
Scotlande
,
he
was
receiued
as
louyngly
as
coulde
bee
thought
of
the
kyng
hymself
,
at
an
abbey
called
Melrose
,
and
there
after
that
he
had
complained
muche
of
the
crueltie
that
was
vsed
toward
his
menne
here
in
Englande
he
beganne
to
commen
secretly
of
other
matters
,
and
especially
of
the
amitie
betwene
kyng
Henry
and
hym
,
the
whiche
to
bee
for
euer
stablished
and
confirmed
,
he
desired
that
kinges
doughter
Margaret
in
mariage
.
Of
the
whiche
thyng
albeit
the
bishop
was
glad
in
his
heart
,
yet
he
would
make
no
perfect
aunswere
or
sheweforth
any
sure
hope
of
the
same
,
but
saied
that
when
he
came
home
,
he
would
dooe
the
best
in
the
matter
that
laie
in
hym
.
Wherfore
the
kyng
shortly
after
dimissed
hym
,
and
desired
hym
ernestly
to
breake
the
same
matter
to
kyng
Henry
.
And
when
he
was
come
home
,
so
he
did
,
and
the
proffer
pleased
the
kyng
verie
well
,
because
he
was
a
manne
whiche
was
alwaies
more
delited
with
peace
&
quietnes
then
with
the
troublesomnesse
,
of
battaill
.
And
now
did
approch
the
death
of
Perkin
Warbeck
,
and
of
Edwarde
erle
of
Warwicke
whiche
had
so
long
lyen
all
readie
in
the
tower
.
But
Perken
thought
that
he
would
saue
hymself
,
and
therfore
on
a
tyme
he
tooke
his
leggues
and
ranne
awaie
,
but
so
sone
as
the
kyng
harde
tell
therof
,
he
made
menne
after
hym
with
all
the
spede
the
might
bee
,
with
whose
clamours
and
shoutes
Perkyn
was
so
feared
,
that
of
necessitie
he
was
compelled
to
go
to
an
abbaie
which
was
called
Bethelem
,
&
ther
intreacted
the
abbot
of
the
place
to
desire
the
kyng
of
his
pardon
that
he
might
not
dye
.
Whiche
thyng
the
abbot
did
for
hym
and
obteined
it
.
Wherfore
Perken
was
brought
bounde
&
feitered
,
to
Westminster
and
there
stoode
an
whole
daie
in
the
sight
of
all
menne
to
the
great
shame
and
reproche
of
hym self
.
And
after
(
partely
because
the
kyng
had
promised
hym
his
life
,
and
partely
because
he
should
no
more
renne
awaie
)
he
was
committed
to
the
towre
.
Where
his
wickednes
boylong
so
hote
within
his
breit
,
would
not
suffre
hym
to
escape
the
vengeaunce
&
punishement
of
God
,
but
shortly
after
was
moste
iustly
&
worthely
put
to
deathe
as
herafter
shal
be
shewed
.
Then
it
chaunsed
the
a
monke
whose
name
was
Patricke
had
a
scholer
,
whome
he
promised
if
he
would
folowe
his
counsaill
,
should
easely
come
to
the
kyngdome
of
Englande
.
Whiche
scholer
when
he
had
ones
heard
his
maisters
mynd
,
was
verie
instaunte
in
the
matter
and
desired
his
maister
,
not
to
forget
his
purpose
,
but
rather
begynne
it
as
sone
as
was
possible
.
Wherfore
,
when
thei
be
twene
theim selfes
had
taken
deliberacion
and
counsailled
of
the
thyng
how
it
should
be
brought
to
passe
,
thei
went
bothe
together
into
Kent
.
And
there
beganne
this
young
feloe
to
tell
priuely
to
many
that
he
was
the
erle
of
Warwicke
,
and
had
gotte
out
of
the
tower
by
the
helpe
of
this
monke
.
To
the
whiche
,
when
he
perceiued
credence
geuen
he
declared
it
openly
,
and
desyred
al
men
of
helpe
.
But
or
euer
this
sedicion
beganne
to
goo
foreward
,
the
heddes
and
principalles
of
the
same
wer
taken
and
casle
into
prysone
.
Of
whiche
the
one
was
condempned
to
death
,
and
the
other
condempned
to
perpetuall
pryson
and
darkenesse
.
For
at
that
tyme
here
in
Englande
was
so
muche
attrybuted
to
prestes
,
and
al
religious
men
,
that
though
they
had
committed
felonie
,
murder
,
yea
or
treason
,
they
should
not
haue
bene
therfore
condempned
to
death
.
Moreouer
,
whosoeuer
could
reade
,
though
it
wer
neuer
so
lytle
,
what
crime
soeuer
he
had
committed
(
saue
treason
)
should
by
his
booke
bee
saued
,
and
therfore
it
was
inuented
,
that
if
the
default
wer
so
great
,
that
another
manne
shoulde
suffer
death
for
the
same
,
he
should
onely
be
burnt
in
the
hande
,
wherfore
he
the
had
committed
thefte
,
should
bee
marked
in
the
hand
with
this
letter
T.
if
he
had
committed
murdre
,
with
M.
and
after
that
,
yf
he
were
deprehended
in
lyke
cryme
,
then
there
should
no
fauour
at
all
,
more
then
to
other
menne
,
bee
shewed
.
Whiche
acte
was
made
and
confyrmed
,
by
this
kyng
Henry
in
the
second
yere
of
his
reigne
,
and
taken
of
the
Frenchemen
,
whiche
are
wonte
if
thei
take
any
suche
,
to
cutte
of
one
of
his
cares
and
let
hym
go
.
Whiche
priuiledges
of
bookes
made
thefes
both
bolde
,
&
plentie
thorowe
out
all
the
coastes
and
parties
of
this
his
realme
of
Englande
.
But
nowe
to
my
matier
again
.
Perkyn
,
of
whom
we
spake
muche
before
,
whyles
he
was
in
the
towre
corrupted
many
of
the
kepers
,
partly
with
giftes
and
partely
with
fayre
promyses
,
so
that
they
were
all
agreed
(
saue
the
leuetenaunt
,
whome
he
fully
determined
to
kyll
)
that
he
and
the
erle
of
Warwike
should
gooe
theyr
waye
out
of
the
toure
and
afterwarde
to
make
the
best
shyfte
that
they
could
for
theim selfes
.
But
this
his
purpose
came
not
to
full
effecte
.
For
it
was
knowne
within
shorte
tyme
after
,
for
the
whiche
he
and
his
felowes
all
of
the
same
counsayle
were
hanged
by
the
neckes
.
And
the
earle
of
Warwike
,
because
he
was
foundegyltie
in
the
same
defaulte
,
was
behedded
,
whiche
was
dooen
in
the
yeare
of
oure
Lorde
a
thousand
foure
hundreth
and
.xcix.
and
in
the
.xiii.
yeare
of
this
kyng
Henry
his
reigne
.
The
nexte
yere
after
,
was
here
in
Englande
a
〈…〉
〈◊〉
a
greate
plague
wherof
menne
died
in
many
places
vereye
sore
,
but
especiallye
and
mooste
of
all
in
London
.
For
there
died
in
that
yere
aboue
thyrtye
thousande
.
Wherfore
the
kynge
sayled
ouer
to
Caleis
and
there
taryed
a
greate
while
.
In
his
beyng
there
came
ouer
to
hym
Philippe
Erle
of
Flaunders
,
and
was
receaued
of
hym
as
louyngly
as
could
bee
thought
,
and
also
or
euer
they
departed
,
the
league
whiche
was
made
betwene
theim
two
not
longe
before
was
renewed
.
Sone
after
,
when
the
plague
was
slaked
,
the
kyng
returned
agayne
into
Englande
,
and
was
no
soner
come
thyther
,
but
there
met
him
one
Gasper
Pons
sente
from
Alexander
the
byshoppe
of
of
Roome
,
which
brought
with
hym
indulgences
and
perdo●es
whereby
he
made
the
kyng
beleue
that
he
and
his
should
flye
streight
to
heauen
,
but
those
could
not
bee
graunted
withoute
a
greate
somme
of
money
,
the
whiche
the
rather
that
he
might
obteyne
,
he
promysed
parte
of
it
to
the
kyng
hymselfe
,
so
deceauyng
both
the
kyng
and
the
people
.
In
this
same
yere
was
burnt
a
place
of
the
kynges
,
whiche
he
after
buylded
vp
againe
and
named
it
Richemount
.
Aboute
this
tyme
died
three
bishoppes
here
in
England
,
Ihon
Morton
bishop
of
Cantourbury
Thomas
Langton
bishop
of
Wynchester
,
and
Thomas
Rotherham
bishoppe
of
Yorke
.
Also
in
this
yere
,
there
were
greate
maryages
made
,
for
kyng
Henry
had
geuen
his
doughter
ladye
Margarete
to
the
kyng
of
Scottes
,
and
his
sonne
prince
Arthur
to
Ladie
Katherine
doughter
to
Ferdinande
kyng
of
Spayne
,
whiche
mariages
were
made
specially
for
this
cause
that
he
might
liue
in
peace
with
those
kynges
in
his
olde
age
.
After
this
,
prynce
Arthure
that
came
to
London
purposely
to
bee
maryed
,
went
to
Wales
agayne
with
his
lady
and
wife
to
ouersee
all
thynges
well
there
,
and
to
the
entente
he
might
not
miscarye
or
go
out
of
the
waie
in
rulyng
his
domimon
,
he
had
with
hym
many
noble
men
,
as
first
Richard
Poole
his
nighe
kynsman
which
was
made
chief
of
his
priuie
chaumbre
,
and
Dauid
Philippe
husher
of
his
halle
.
Also
he
had
of
his
counsaill
certayne
knyghtes
as
Wyllyam
Vdall
,
Richarde
Croft
,
Peter
Neuton
,
Henrye
Varnam
,
Thomas
Englefelde
.
And
other
besides
theim
,
as
Ihon
Walestone
,
Henry
Marine
,
Wyllyam
Smyth
preest
chief
of
his
counsayle
late
bishop
of
Lincolne
,
&
syr
Charles
Booth
a
lawer
,
then
byshop
of
Herforde
.
A
litle
before
this
mariage
,
Edmund
Poole
erle
of
Suffolke
sonne
to
ladye
Elizabeth
the
sysler
of
kyng
Edward
,
was
accused
for
killyng
of
a
man
,
&
although
the
kyng
pardoned
hym
,
whom
he
might
iustely
haue
condemned
for
that
offence
,
yet
because
he
was
rayned
at
the
barre
,
whiche
he
thought
a
great
main
and
blemishe
to
his
honoure
,
tooke
it
heuely
,
and
shortely
after
fled
to
Flaunders
without
any
passeporte
or
licence
of
the
kyng
,
to
quene
Margarete
his
aunte
,
but
he
returned
again
,
&
so
excused
hymselfe
before
the
kynge
,
that
he
was
founde
fautles
in
any
thyng
that
was
obiected
vnto
hym
.
Also
when
this
mariage
was
kepte
at
London
,
with
great
pompe
&
solēnitee
,
this
Edmunde
fled
again
to
Flaunders
with
his
brother
Richard
,
either
for
that
he
had
been
at
great
charges
at
the
same
mariage
and
so
farre
cast
in
debte
that
he
was
not
hable
to
paye
,
either
because
the
quene
Margarete
his
aunte
had
allured
hym
,
orels
for
eiuill
will
&
enuie
that
the
kyng
should
prosper
so
well
.
When
it
was
knowen
that
he
was
gooen
,
&
the
kyng
certified
there
of
,
he
feared
that
some
busynes
should
ryse
by
his
meanes
&
was
sory
that
he
had
pardoned
hym
for
his
offence
lately
committed
.
But
sone
after
,
that
the
erle
came
from
Flaunders
,
syr
Robert
Cursone
knight
&
capitaine
of
Hammes
castel
,
feignyng
hym selfe
to
bee
one
of
that
conspiracye
,
wente
purposely
to
espye
what
the
quene
entended
against
kyng
Henrye
,
whyche
afterwarde
for
his
so
doynge
was
in
greate
fauoure
wyth
hym
.
For
the
kynge
was
so
vigylaunte
and
circumspecte
in
all
his
matters
,
that
he
dyd
knowe
theim
namelye
that
either
bare
hym
eiuill
will
,
or
woorked
any
in
theyr
mynde
,
whom
he
caused
to
bee
attached
and
caste
in
holde
.
And
emong
theim
Wyllyam
the
erle
of
Deuonshyres
sonne
,
whiche
maried
ladie
Catheryne
daughter
to
kyng
Edward
was
taken
,
and
another
Wyllyam
brother
to
Edmonde
earle
of
Souffolke
,
Iames
Tyrell
,
Ihon
Wyndham
.
But
these
two
wylliams
were
taken
rather
of
suspection
then
for
any
offence
of
gyltines
.
Wherefore
Wylliam
this
Earles
sonne
of
Deuonshyre
after
the
death
of
kynge
Henrye
,
was
deliuered
&
had
in
great
fauour
wyth
the
kinges
sonne
Henrye
the
eyght
,
but
shortly
after
whan
he
beganne
to
exercyse
hym selfe
agayne
in
marciall
feates
of
warre
,
he
sickened
of
a
dysease
called
(
Plureses
)
and
died
therewith
,
whyche
because
it
was
straunge
and
vnknowen
to
the
phisicians
,
it
was
incurable
.
He
lefte
one
sonne
behynde
hym
alyue
to
vphold
the
name
of
that
auncetree
.
The
other
Wyllyam
brother
to
Edmunde
the
earle
of
Suffolke
had
also
greater
fauoure
showed
hym
in
pryson
,
then
he
had
before
.
And
as
for
Iames
Terel
,
and
Ihon
Wyndham
,
because
they
were
traytours
,
and
manifestly
accused
of
the
same
,
wer
put
to
death
,
and
behedded
.
But
when
the
earle
of
Suffolke
heard
of
thys
,
he
was
in
great
despayre
wyth
hym selfe
that
he
should
neuer
frame
hys
matters
wel
,
and
so
wente
all
aboute
Germanye
and
Fraunce
for
ayde
and
socour
,
prouyng
yf
he
coulde
fynde
any
helpe
at
their
handes
,
whom
when
he
perceaued
to
showe
no
token
of
loue
towardes
him
in
that
behalfe
,
he
made
hym
subiect
to
that
prynce
of
Flaunders
,
but
hys
brother
Rychard
beyng
an
experte
man
,
dyd
so
wysely
order
and
behaue
hym selfe
in
that
businesse
,
that
he
was
not
greatlye
founde
gyltie
in
any
poynt
of
that
matter
.
The
kyng
not
yet
beyng
out
of
all
feare
of
his
enemyes
,
perceauyng
that
many
sanctuary
men
loked
for
a
fayre
daye
,
desired
of
Alexander
byshop
of
Roome
that
all
traytours
and
banished
men
should
not
be
saued
by
any
sanctuary
,
and
that
such
as
were
ther
in
holde
,
should
take
theim
herafter
as
no
refuge
and
socoure
to
them
,
yf
thei
once
gooe
out
,
whych
thyng
,
after
the
byshoppe
had
graunted
it
,
was
to
the
ease
and
quietnes
of
al
the
realme
.
When
the
kynge
had
all
hys
busines
so
well
ended
,
and
broughte
in
a
good
staye
.
Prynce
Arthure
dyed
halfe
a
yeare
or
lesse
,
after
that
he
had
maried
ladie
Katheryn
,
for
whose
death
ther
was
great
lamentynge
.
It
is
reported
also
that
ladye
Katherine
feared
suche
lyke
chaunce
euermore
,
for
because
that
after
she
had
taken
her
leaue
of
her
parentes
,
and
sayled
towardes
England
,
she
was
tossed
long
in
the
sea
,
wyth
the
violence
of
the
water
&
the
wynd
,
ere
the
shyppe
coulde
haue
any
landyng
Not
longe
after
,
the
quene
was
broughte
ni
bedde
with
a
doughter
,
and
died
vppon
the
same
,
which
daughter
also
taried
but
for
a
season
after
her
mother
.
Ther
departed
also
within
short
space
after
,
Reynalde
Bray
,
a
man
for
iustice
so
commendable
,
that
yf
any
thyng
had
bene
done
agaynste
good
lawe
or
ryght
,
he
would
streyghte
reproue
the
kyng
for
it
.
Of
the
same
vertue
was
Ihon
Morton
bishoppe
,
&
would
do
in
al
thinges
as
he
did
in
reprouing
the
kinge
for
the
reformation
of

,
which

banished
and
fled
,
should
be
disparsed
and
set
to
sale
.
Also
the
preestes
were
commaunded
to
pay
mony
for
the
maintenaunce
and
sustentacion
of
the
common
weale
.
And
now
the
kyng
drawyng
nigh
to
age
,
and
consideryng
the
great
battayles
that
he
had
in
tymes
past
,
which
(
as
it
was
thought
)
came
of
ouer
muche
welthines
,
prouided
a
remedy
ryght
shortly
for
it
.
And
to
the
entent
that
menne
shoulde
not
thynck
that
he
would
oppresse
them
or
do
them
wrong
for
of
all
people
he
hated
oppressours
,
therfore
he
deuised
with
hym selfe
,
by
what
honeste
meane
he
might
do
it
,
&
thus
deuising
called
to
minde
that
English
men
dyd
litle
passe
vpon
the
obseruacion
of
any
lawes
that
were
made
,
in
so
much
,
the
yf
such
a
thynge
should
be
called
to
accompte
,
he
thoughte
manye
men
as
well
lordes
,
as
other
of
the
lay
fee
,
would
bee
founde
fautie
.
And
so
searchyng
ouer
the
statutes
that
he
had
made
,
punished
them
a
lytle
by
the
pursse
that
had
transgressed
theim
.
After
that
he
appoynted
two
commyssioners
to
receaue
the
forfeictes
,
the
one
Richarde
Hempson
,
and
the
other
Edmunde
Dudley
booth
lawers
of
the
temporaltee
,
whiche
personnes
for
the
desire
to
please
their
king
had
no
respect
how
thei
got
the
monye
so
thei
myght
haue
it
ether
by
ryght
or
wrong
.
Albeit
,
the
kyng
hauyng
pitee
of
his
people
,
after
that
he
perceaued
they
were
sore
punyshed
and
polled
vnknowyng
to
hym
restored
to
them
their
mony
,
of
whom
it
was
exacted
vniustlye
,
and
depryued
them
of
their
offyce
that
had
so
vniustly
executed
it
.
In
this
yere
,
dyed
quene
Elisabeth
of
Castell
wyfe
to
Ferdinand
kyng
of
Aragone
without
any
yssue
of
man
chyld
,
so
that
the
heritage
dyd
fall
to
lady
Iohan
her
eldest
daughter
,
by
Ferdinand
whiche
after
was
maried
to
the
Earle
of
Flaunders
,
them
made
by
this
mariage
also
chiefe
gouernoure
ouer
all
that
countree
.
Shortly
after
about
the
.xiii.
day
of
Ianuary
which
was
the
yere
of
our
lord
.
M

ccccc

and
fyue
thys
Earle
hauyng
a
nauye
prepared
sayled
out
of
Flaunders
with
his
wyfe
to
Spayne
,
but
he
had
not
set
forth
longe
,
ere
the
wether
beganne
to
chaunge
,
and
tempestes
to
ryse
so
,
that
at
the
last
fearsenes
of
the
wynde
,
dyd
dryue
them
to
the
coastes
and
borders
of
Englande
,
wher
he
landed
at
an
hauen
or
porte
called
Wynmouth
,
sore
againste
the
mynd
and
consent
of
all
his
companie
,
which
knewe
well
that
the
same
landyng
should
bee
the
occasion
of
long
tariyng
there
.
When
it
was
kno●n
that
he
was
thus
landed
,
there
came
agreate
nomber
of
harnissed
men
to
proue
yf
he
were
the
kynges
frende
or
no
,
whiche
when
thei
perseaued
hym
to
bee
his
frende
,
and
entended
nothing
but
loue
and
frendeshippe
,
Thomas
Trencharde
the
chiefe
of
that
compaignie
went
to
the
kyng
,
desyring
hym
(
yf
it
would
witesalfe
)
hym
to
take
a
lodging
at
his
house
,
whiche
was
euen
nigh
at
hand
trusting
therby
to
haue
thanke
of
.
the
kynges
master
whom
he
certifyed
in
al
the
haste
of
his
commyng
Also
Iohn
Caroe
desired
hym
that
he
woulde
not
gooe
vntyll
suche
tyme
that
he
had
spoken
with
the
kyng
his
louing
and
feithfull
frende
,
consideringe
that
he
was
within
two
or
thre
dayes
iourney
of
hym
.
So
that
at
length
although
he
layde
many
excuses
to
haue
been
gooen
and
departed
,
at
their
instance
taried
there
with
theim
.
And
when
the
kyng
was
enfourmed
of
his
comminge
,
he
reioyced
highly
and
sente
certaine
of
his
nobilitee
to
bring
hym
where
he
was
.
Wherfore
this
Erle
seing
no
remedy
but
that
he
must
nedes
tary
,
he
went
streight
to
Windesore
where
the
kyng
dyd
lye
.
And
shortlye
after
folowed
his
wife
quene
Iohan.
After
they
two
had
commoned
of
many
thinges
together
at
the
laste
they
beganne
to
treate
of
a
league
and
perpetuall
amitee
to
bee
had
.
And
firste
Kynge
Henrye
desired
to
haue
Edmonde
Poole
banished
man
vnder
his
captiuitee
and
bondage
.
To
whome
the
Earle
aunswered
&
saied
that
it
was
not
in
his
power
to
restore
hym
,
yet
after
muche
entreating
and
praiyng
,
the
kyng
graunted
at
the
laste
that
he
shoulde
hee
sente
to
hym
righte
shortly
.
After
thus
for
prolonginge
of
time
that
he
might
haue
his
desyre
,
he
brought
Philyp
the
Earle
to
London
,
and
there
shewing
hym
his
citie
,
retourned
frome
thence
with
hym
.
Then
Edmonde
Poole
,
seyng
that
there
was
no
more
hope
to
bee
had
in
foren
Princes
,
and
trusting
that
kyng
Henry
would
put
hym
at
libertee
came
to
Englande
willingly
to
proue
his
gentlenes
,
that
yf
vpon
this
expectacyon
and
hope
,
he
were
deceiued
,
yet
he
might
at
the
laste
dye
and
be
buryed
in
his
natiue
countree
.
weare
,
when
he
had
receyued
this
garment
,
he
did
send
Balthesar
Castillio
a
Mantuan
borne
vnto
kyng
Henry
,
whiche
receiued
of
the
knightes
a
garter
,
in
token
that
he
should
be
a
knight
of
the
same
ordre
.
When
this
busines
was
dooen
,
Lewes
the
Frenche
kyng
mistrustyng
that
he
shoulde
neuer
haue
manchild
,
maryed
his
eldest
doughter
Lady
Anne
to
Frances
Valese
Dolphine
Duke
of
Engosye
,
which
was
sure
a
litle
before
to
Charles
the
kyng
of
Castell
.
And
when
kyng
Henry
knewe
of
this
,
he
thought
beste
to
mary
his
doughter
Lady
Mary
to
this
Charles
kyng
of
Castell
which
mariage
was
confirmed
and
made
at
Calise
by

byshop
of
Winchester
&
the
ambassadours
of
Flaunders
,
the
Ladye
beyng
but
.x.
yeres

.
And
now
were
the
thre
yeres
expired
,
at
whiche
tyme
kyng
Henry
thought
his
fatal
daye
to
draw
nyghe
.
Therfore
to
the
entente
that
the
people
myghte
wyshe
and
praye
for
hym
after
his
deathe
for
his
kindnesse
that

,
he
caused
a

pardon
to
bee
geuen
vnto
all
offendours
,
〈…〉
all

done
.
sauinge
onely
theues
and
murderers
,
because
that
they
dyd
not

For

to
the
people
,
processyon

in

the
safegarde
of

Neuerthelesse

And

About

But

costly

which
the
fore

clothed
in
,
with
theyr
ryche

and
other
deuyses
,
I
shoulde
here
make
a
long
tariynge
.
Wherefore
to
procede
as
I
beganne
.
When
thys
mount
as
is
a
●oue
sayde
was
before
the
quenes
tente
,
eyther
of
the
fosters
blewe
a

and
that

the

maiestie
first
issued
out

and
another
with

at

,
&
at

doore
rode
out

other
two
chalengeours
,
all
.iiii.
hauyng
in
their

eyther

theym
a
small
scochion
,
the
whiche
thei
offered
vnto
the
quenes
grace
.
and
al
.iiii.
chalengeours
had
cotes
beneth
the
wast
of
blewe
sylke
garnished
with
portcolyes
of
Venise
gold
without

,
sauynge
the
kynges
graces
coate
was
of
blewe
veluet
,
and
the
other
were
of

.
And
where
the

away
ters
were
in
coates
of

and

,
the
other
wer
in
iackettes
of

.
And
after
the
chalengeours
had
thus
offered
vp
their
scochions
and
made
their
obeysaunce
vnto
the
quene
.
The
kinges
grace
with
the
other
roade
vnto
the
ende
of
the
tylt
ouer
agaynst
Westmynster
hall
gate
,
and
there
houed
tyll
the
defendours
were
brought
into
the
place
Then
the
foresayde
gentylmen
whyche
before
had
brought
in
the
kyng
,
road
for
the
defendours
the
whyche
anone
came
in
at
the
weste
gate
of
the
palais
in
sondry
pageauntes
and
goodly
deuices
whyche
here
I
wyll
ouerpasse
,
for
as
much
as
the
daye
folowyng
they
ferre
exceded
,
wherof
the
declaration
wyll
aske
a
long
leysoure
.
Wherfore
to
procede
further
,
when
the
sayd
defendours
accordyng
to
the
lawe
of
armes
had
bene
conueighed
about
the
tylte
,
and
were
come
to
their
standynge
nere
vnto
the
west
ende
of
the
tylte
:
Anone
the
kynges
maiestee
called
for
a
speare
,
and
so
ranne
.vi.
courses
before
he
lefte
,
and
brake
in
those
.vi.
courses
.iiii.
speares
as
well
and
as
valyantly
as
any
man
of
armes
myght
breake
theim
,
&
such
as
wer
broken
vpon
hym
,
he
receaued
them
as
thoughe
he
had
felt
no
dynt
of
anye
stroke
.
In
so
muche
,
that
where
at
the
beginnyng
,
in
the
felde
was
many
a
fear
full
&
timerous
heart
for
him
,
consideryng
his
excellencie
and
his
tendernes
of
age
.
After
thei
had
sene
the
sayde
coursses
ronne
and
his
manfull
deliuer
chargynge
and
dischargynge
,
he
reioysed
so
the
peoples
heartes
that
a
man
myght
haue
sene
a
thousande
wepyng
iyen
for
ioye
And
then
suche
as
were
in
moost
feare
sawe
by
his
marcial
feates
that
by
the
ayde
of
God
,
he
was
in
no
daunger
And
when
the
other
chalengeours
had
ronne
a
few
courses
,
he
went
to
it
a
fresh
,
&
then
ran
.x.
or
xii
.
courses
instantly
or
he
would
ceasse
,
&
brake
many
speaces
,
&
gaue
so
many
teintes
,
that
euery
man
maruay
led
at
his
wonderfull
feates
.
For
none
the
there
was
chalengeour
or
defendour
,
might
attain
to
halfe
the
ꝓwesse
that
he
accomplished
that
daye
,
so
that
the
pryce
was
geuen
to
him
of
all
men
,
aswell
of
them
that
were
deputed
iudges
of
those
feates
of
armes
for
that
day
,
as
of
al
other
.
And
when
he
had
thus
passed
his
time
to
his
great
laude
&
honour
,
he
then
at
the
request
of
sondry
lordes
,
which
that
daye
gaue
their
attendaunce
vpon
his
grace
,
went
into
a
pauilion
whiche
nere
vnto
the
tiltes
ende
at
that
tyme
was
prepared
for
hym
,
&
there
taried
while
the
other
chalengeours
ranne
a
certain
coursses
with
such
of
the
defendours
as
had
not
bene
assaied
that
day
,
the
which
demeaned
theim
right
valiantly
&
knightly
,
&
made
full
marciall
disport
.
And
when
this
had
continued
vpon
an
houre
or
more
.
The
king
came
then
out
of
his
pauiliōry
dynge
vpon
a
graye
coursser
,
betrapped
wyth
a
crappoure
of
clothe
of
golde
,
and
wroughte
wyth
goldsmithes
woorke
,
which
was
litle
ouer
an
hand
breadthe
,
and
garnysshed
in
sondrye
places
wyth
white
roses
made
of
fine
gold
.
And
vpon
the
pai●rell
of
the
horsse
breste
,
stoode
a
rose
of
a
greate
bredth
,
and
another
like
vpon
the
crupper
behind
Which
.ii.
roses
as
a
goldsmith
reported
that
had
the
ouersight
of
the
making
of
the
horsse
harneisse
,
said
that
theiweied
either
of
them
aboue
.l.
onces
in
gold
The
kynges
maiestee
was
in
a
streight
coate
of
moste
rychest
clothe
of
golde
made
close
vnto
his
bodye
and
streighte
sleues
,
after
the
proportion
of
his
armes
,
and
in
two
or
thre
places
the
saied
sleues
were
cut
and
fastened
together
againe
with
a
plunket
ryband
,
thewhiche
garment
became
hym
wonderously
well
.
And
thus
beyng
apointed
with
his
legge
harneys
being
styll
vpon
his
legges
he
rode
vnto
the
tyltes
ende
,
and
there
houed
whyle
the
Herauldes
made
their
monicion
and
criyng
a
〈…〉
still
,
a
lhostill
,
and
conueyghed
the
defendours
oute
at
the
gate
whiche
they
firste
came
in
at
.
And
that
dooen
,
the
gentlemen
firste
setting
forwarde
next
vnto
the
trompettes
,
and
then
knightes
,
barnes
,
and
Lordes
as
they
wer
of
degrees
folowing
in
their
goodly
apparelles
:
lastly
next
vnto
the
king
came
the
Lord
Haward
,
bearing
vpon
a
tronchion
the
kynges
helmet
.
After
whom
the
kyng
then
comming
,
tooke
vp
his
horse
in
so
semely
and
lusty
maner
,
that
shortly
to
conclude
,
no
man
could
doo
better
nor
sytte
more
close
nor
faster
,
nor
yet
kepe
his
stiroppes
more
surely
.
For
notwithstandinge
that
the
horse
was
veraye
courageous
and
excellente
in
leaping
and
tornyng
and
excedyngg
flinging
,
he
moued
no
more
vpon
hym
,
then
if
he
had
helde
a
plain
and
softe
trot
.
And
thus
passyng
the
compasse
of
the
felde
,
when
he
came
ouer
againste
the
quenes
Tent
,
he
then
beganne
of
newe
,
&
leaped
and
coursed
the
horse
vp
and
downe
in
wonderful
maner
.
And
finally
,
he
turned
the
feete
of
the
horse
againe
the
tylt
,
and
caused
hym
to
fling
and
beate
the
boordes
with
his
fete
,
the
it
redounded
aboute
the
place
as
it
had
been
shotte
of
gunnes
.
And
when
he
had
thus
with
all
commendacion
and
honoure
perfourmed
this
lustye
and
courageous
feacte
,
he
turned
hym
vnto
the
quene
and
made
a
lowlye
obeysaunce
,
and
so
passed
in
a
demure
maner
into
Westminster
hall
.
Vpon
the
daye
nexte
foloyng
,
being
thursdaye
and
the

daye
of
February
was
holden
a
more
excellent
iustes
,
not
for
the
more
valiaunt

done
of

but
for
the
inestimable
richesse
and
costely
apparell
whiche
that
daye
was
worne
wherof
I
entende
to

a
parte
,

But

Aboute

And

&
thother
halfe

The

with
skalop
shelles
and
pilgrimes
staues
of
massy

&
their

Then

For

So

And

Amonge

fyne
sables
of

Then
emong
theim
that
roade
nexte
to
the
kyng
came
my
Lorde
Henry
of
Buckinghm̄
in
a
goune
of
nedle
werke
,
which
was
more
costly
than
some
of
clothe
of
gold
&
more
alowed
for
the
curiositee
of
the
werke
therof
.
And
though
here
I
make
no
memory
of
the
lustye
leaping
,
bounsyng
,
mounting
and
flinging
of
the
iolye

lusty
foreryders
,
no
man
thynke
the
contrarye
but
there
was
aswell
doyng
horse

any

bee

and
aswell
wer
they
tasted
and
proued
,
to
the
great
comforte
of
many
a
noble
manne
and
woman
that
day
.
Then
when
all
this
lusty
compaignie
was
thus
passed
by
,
Immediatly
ensued
a
pauilion
or
tente
of
blewe
&
purple

and

two
other

And

Iackettes
of

tyll
they
came

the
quenes
tent
.
Where
euery
chalengeour
according
to
their

rode
oute
of
their

,
&
after
obeisaunce
made
vnto
the
quene
,
roade
vnto
the
tiltes
ende
,
and
there
taried
the
comminge
of
the
defendours
.
Howbeit
,
the
kynges
highnesse
roade
into
the
pauilyon
,
where
the
daye
before
he
chaunged
his
apparell
,
and
there
taried
their
comming
.
The
whiche
shortely
after
were
brought
in
,
but
or
I
procede
any
ferther
,
I
must
of
a
conueniency
bring
in
a
matter
necessary
to
bee
reherced
,
the
which
negligently
I
haue
ouerpassed
,
and
the
is
this
.
When
the
kynges
pauilion
was
as
is
aforsaid
come
out
of
the
hall
,
immediately
folowed
the
said
pauilion
nyne
folowers
or
henchemen
,
all
clothed
in
clothe
of
golde
and
purple
veluet
parted
,
the
veluet
side
beyng
garnisshed

theforsaid
letters

Of

folowers
,
the

of
Englande

the

Castell
,
the

with
a

trapper
poudered

the
fift

golde
furred
with
poudered
armines
,
the
sixte
with

and
purple

parted
,
the
seuenth
of
purple
veluet
garnished
with
massy
plates
of
gold
,
a
parte
wher
of
was
an
arme
from
the
elbowe
armed
with
an
hearte
of
golde
whiche
was
of
greate
weight
and
value
,
thewhiche
arme
and
heart
were
sette
vpon
either
side
of
the
brest
of
the
horsse
,
and
again
in
the
trapper
vpon
bothe
sides
of
the
crupper
.
The
eight
with
a
trappoure
of
chaungeable
sarcenet
after
blewe
and
white
full
of
gold
belles
.
The
〈…〉
nthe
&
last
was
trapped
in
cloth
of
golde
and
blewe
veluet
paled
.
After
whiche
folowers
,
ensued
the
yoman
of
the
horsse
vpon
a
faire
double
horsse
ledyng
in
his
hande
the
self
same
horsse
whiche
the
kyng
roade
out
of
the
felde
vpon
,
as
before
I
haue
reherced
,
and
then
as
last
and
hynmoost
came
rydyng
vpon
a
lustie
courser
sir
Mathew
Baker
as
master
of
the
kynges
henchemenne
,
right
well
and
sadly
apoincted
and
like
a
manne
of
good
age
and
sadnes
,
&
thus
repaired
through
the
felde
with
suche
demeanour
as
before
is
reherced
.
Then
to
retorne
vnto
the
defendoures
.
Trouth
it
is
that
sir
Charles
Brandon
as
first
came
into
the
felde
enclosed
in
a
tower
and
led
by
a
iaylour
holdyng
a
greate
keye
in
his
hande
,
the
whiche
pageaunt
when
it
came
ouer
against
the
quenes
standyng
,
the
iaylour
with
his
keye
made
a
countenaunce
as
though
he
had
opened
the
gate
of
the
tower
,
oute
of
the
whiche
issued
a
manne
on
horsebacke
clad
in
a
long
course
and
prisoners
weede
,
with
a
pylgrymes
long
staffe
in
his
hande
and
a
pylgremes
hat
vpon
his
heed
with
a
long
and
forgrowen
bearde
reachyng
to
his
sadell
bowe
.
He
also
had
hangyng
vpon
the
hooke
of
his
staffe
apayre
of
bedes
of
gold
,
and
vpon
the
top
of
that
staffe
was
fas●ened
a
lettre
,
the
whiche
staffe
with
the
bedes
and
letter
were
sent
and
deliuered
vnto
the
quenes
grace
,
vpon
the
whiche
when
she
had
awhile
looked
,
she
sent
suche
aunswer
that
the
prisoner
cast
from
hym
hastely
his
clothyng
,
beard
and
hat
,
and
shewed
hym self
in
bright
harneys
,
and
foorth
with
smote
his
horsse
with
the
spurres
,
and
made
a
lustie
pace
vnto
the
tiltes
ende
,
and
from
thence
tooke
his
course
and
ranne
aboute
the
tilt
all
moste
lusty
wise
.
And
after
the
said
Charles
was
thus
come
in
,
there
ensued
tenne
mo
of
the
said
chalengeoures
,
of
the
whiche
if
I
should
wryte
all
the
apparell
and
circumstaunce
of
their
cundite
vnto
their
place
assigned
,
it
would
aske
a
long
tracte
of
tyme
,
but
shortely
to
procede
to
the
effect
of
this
matter
.
So
sone
as
all
the
defendours
were
come
vnto
their
place
assigned
.
The
kynges
grace
issued
oute
of
his
pauilion
and
called
for
a
spere
,
the
whiche
when
he
had
receiued
,
he
ranne
and
brake
right
vigorously
,
&
so
ranne
seuen
coursses
more
or
he
would
stynt
,
in
the
whiche
at
euery
coursse
he
brake
aspeare
or
gaue
a
taynt
.
And
one
thyng
was
greately
noted
in
hym
,
that
at
euerie
coursse
that
he
ranne
he
would
neuer
charge
hym
with
his
speare
in
the
rest
,
till
he
came
nere
vnto
the
copyng
.
Then
by
exhortacion
of
suche
lordes
as
were
aboute
hym
he
rested
for
a
season
.
And
when
the
other
chalengeours
had
disported
theim
a
while
with
suche
defendours
as
the
kyng
had
not
before
tasted
:
The
kyng
then
came
foorth
agayne
and
ranne
many
and
sondry
coursses
,
the
whiche
he
performed
to
his
greate
laude
and
honoure
.
And
albeit
that
the
other
chalengeours
did
full
knightely
and
well
and
likewise
the
defendours
,
as
the
lorde
Marques
,
sir
Charles
Brandon
and
other
,
yet
the
feates
of
the
kyng
so
ferre
excelled
theim
that
none
was
spoken
of
but
his
alone
,
whiche
so
continued
duryng
the
tyme
of
their
disporte
till
foure
of
the
clocke
at
after
none
,
at
whiche
season
,
so
sone
as
the
defendours
wer
conueighed
out
of
the
felde
,
he
called
for
a
speare
,
the
whiche
he
settyng
vpon
his
thigh
,
roade
with
his
hed
pece
vpon
his
head
rounde
aboute
the
tylt
,
and
at
twoo
tymes
when
he
came
ouer
against
the
quenes
standyng
,
he
made
as
lowe
obeysaunce
as
his
sadle
would
licence
hym
,
and
so
roade
into
his
pauilyon
&
there
vnarmed
hym
.
And
anone
after
came
out
of
the
same
pauilion
sittyng
vpon
the
same
spare
horsse
whiche
the
yoman
of
that
horsse
brought
in
his
hand
into
the
feld
when
the
kyng
first
entred
.
And
then
he
was
chaunged
into
a
demy
gowne
of
clothe
of
golde
furred
with
sables
,
the
whiche
when
thei
were
shewed
defaced
,
so
the
other
that
sir
Nicholas
Vaus
ware
,
that
thei
semed
matyrns
in
comparison
of
the
other
.
Then
the
gentlemenne
sette
forward
,
and
after
folowed
the
three
chalengours
rydyng
bare
heded
,
and
their
three
helmettes
borne
before
theim
by
three
lordes
,
and
last
of
all
came
the
kynges
grace
,
whose
helmet
was
borne

stured

Aboute
this
season
or
lytle

,
the
Frenche
kyng
that
had
moste
parte
of
this

kept
warre
again
Iulius
the
secound
of
that
name
byshop
of
Rome
,
forced
the
said
bishop
to
forsake
the
cytie
of
Bonony
,
&
to
fle
for
his
safegarde
toward
Rome
,
not
withoute
losse
of
some

.
This
bishoppe
had
deputed
one
Iherome
Bonuise
a
Lukener
borne
,
and
before
tyme
had
bene
a
merchaunt
and
factoure
for

of

London
,
the
whiche
by
his
insolencie

exercysyng
of
dice
wyth
lordes
and
other

he
brake
and
came
so
behynde
the
hande
that
he
was
compelled
to
aduoyde
the
citie
&
also
the
realme
.
In
the
tyme
of
whiche
absence
he
purchased
suche
grace
of
the
fornamed
bishop
that
he
made
hym
a
lorde
,
&
after
sent
hym
into
this
lande
as
his
proctour
,
hauyng
a
trayne
after
hym
lyke
vnto
a
byshop
:
&
by
the
●auourable
letters
whyche
the
byshoppe
wrote
for
hym
vnto
the
kyng
,
his
grace
had
hym
in
good
fauoure
,
and
dayly
resorted
vnto
his
grace
for
mattiers
touchyng
the
bishoppe
,
by
meane
wherof
he
had
knowledge
of
the
bishops
councell
and
also
of
the
kynges
.
In
this
tyme
also
were
here
certeyne
ambassadours
of
the
Frenche
kynges
,
the
whiche
lay
here
a
long
ceason
for
matters
concernyng
their
prince
to
whom
this
forenamed
Iherome
,
secretly
drewe
by
nyght
tyme
,
and
innaturally
and
falsely
dyscouered
vnto
theim
all
the
byshoppes
,
and
kynges
councell
.
For
the
whiche
he
was
awaited
and
lastly
taken
in
the
companie
of
one
of
the
sayd
Ambassadours
vpon
London
wall
about
mydnyght
,
and
so
brought
vnto
the
counter
of
the
pultrye
,
frome
whence
by
the
kynges
commaundement
on
the
morowe
he
was
remoued
vnto
the
Towre
,
where
he
remayned
styll
as
a
prysoner
.
In
this
time
also
was
wonderfull
warre
betwene
the
byshop
of
Rome
Iulius
the
seconde

that
name
,
and

Bonony
,
&
put
the
B.

flight
,
&
layed
such
articles
agayne
hym
that
he
entended
to
put
him
downe
&
make
another
bishop
,

wherof
I
passe

consyderyng

touching

If
that
his

had
by
al
the
space
of
his
reigne
heretofore
,
whiche
hath
bene
.xxxiiii.
yeres
,
done
no
more
but
only
these
three
thynges
(
as
in
dede
his
grace
hath
done
a
great
&
infinite
nombre
of
moste
prudente
&
beneficial
thynges
,
bothe
for
the
quietnes
of
his
realme
&
wealth
of
his
subiectes
)
that
is
to
saie
:
the
extirpyng
&
abholyshyng
of
the
vsurped
authoritee
of
the
B.
of
Rome
out
of
all
his
dominions
,
and
restoring
vnto
vs
the
holy
&
most
blessed
worde
of
God
the
is
to
saie
the
whole
scripture
in
our
Englishtongue
,
to
th
entent
chiefly
that
we
mighte
knowe
oure
dutie
to
almightie
God
,
oure
obedyence
to
our
prince
and
hys
successours
kynges
of
thys
realme
,
&
lyue
a
godlye
and
Christen
life
one
with
another
.
Secondarely
,
in
takynge
a
waye
all
supersticion
and
ydolatrye
whiche
was
a
thyng
moost
detestain
▪
the
sight
,
of
God
.
And
thirdlye
and
laste
of
all
the
dissoluynge
of
cloisters
and
suppressynge
all
conterfete
and
false
religion
,
which
so
long
as
thei
continued
,
wer
not
only
teachers
&
preachers
of
false
and
supersticious
doctryne
,
but
also
wer
euer
the
autours
&
begynners
of
all
mischiefes
&
commocions
.
For
reformacion
I
saye
of
which
thynges
,
who
is
hable
to
rendre
woorthy
thankes
and
prayses
to
his
highnes
?
And
therfore
to
conclude
,
infinite
thankes
be
geuen
to
almightie
God
that
so
hath
wrought
by
his
speciall
grace
,
in
the
hearte
&
mynde
of
his
hihgnes
,
&
let
earnest
prayers
and
supplicacions
incessantly
be
made
of
all
his
faythful
subiectes
for
the
preseruacion
of
his
highnes
in
mooste
triumphant
honoure
and
wealth
and
ouer
vs
longe
to
reigne
&
rule
.
And
that
when
nature
shall
geue
place
to
death
in
his
grace
,
that
then
the
same
giftes
of
prudence
,
pollecie
,
and
godly
iudgement
that
his
highnes
is
so
plentifully
endewed
with
,
maye
yet
be
planted
in
the
personne
of
that
goodly
ympe
and
mooste
flory
shyng
braunche
prynce
Edwarde
,
that
the
same
maye
finishe

mainteine
that
whiche
his
noble
father
and
our
souereigne
lord
kyng
Henry
the
eyght
hath
moste
graciously
begonne
.
To
this
all
