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 thesame battaill therefore it might be to his sore reproche if it wer in his power not to tendre as well the health of his cōmons 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 Flaūders 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 cause to bee payde to the kyng of Englād for a full recompence x●v thousand crounes The whiche Frenche kyng after that beyng in warre with the Italians payd the said tribute to the most noble prince and our souereigne lorde kyng Hērye the. v●● sonne to Henry the seuenth for a full recō 〈…〉 cion and frendship to bee had for euer This was the yere of our Lorde a thousand foure hundreth foure score and thirtene and the seuēth yere of his reigne Also in this inuadyng besiegyng of Bonony whiche we spake of before there was none killed sauyng onely syr Ihon Sauage whiche goyng out of his tent with syr Ihō Riseley was taken priuely rydyng about the walles of the toune and there because he would not yelde was slain of the Frenche men albeit the other syr Ihon Rysely fled and escaped their daunger After this the kyng went frō Calis to England again yet that he might not be wtout some trouble or busynes quene Margaret of Spaine whiche euer watched to do hym a displeasure perceauyng that the erle with his cōpaignie could not haue suche successe in their businesse as she would haue wished theim she inuēted a new way to worke treason against him There was a certain yoūg mā of Tornace very beautiful faire in coūtenaunce of a pregnaunt witte whiche yoūg mā was called Peter surnamed Warbecke for his cowardnes nycknamed of the Englishe men called Perkyn which yoūg mā trauaylyng many countrees could speake many lāguages for his basenes of stocke birth was knowen of none almost Therfore the quene thynkyng this yoūg man to bee mete whō she might feigne to be the duke of Yorke and sōne 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 mē to be the kynges sonne did send hym into Irelāde 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 Frēche kynges eare that such an one was in Ireland for whō the kyng did send to see caused hym to be brought before him when he came into his p̄sence the kyng accepted hym gladly after a princely fashiō intreteined hym But after the he came in loue with the kyng of England the sayd Charles did dimisse the yoūg mā would no lōger 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 mē 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 thesame Edwarde might come conueniently into Englande the thei beyng certified of thesame 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 thesame Peter whiche was muche lyke Richarde praysyng his vertues and qualitees that he had wonderfullye The said Robert whē he had seen thesame yoūg 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

arrande was not onely one mānes 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 instrucciō incontinēt 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 soūded 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 cōforte 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 coūsaill 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 pōde ryng that their youthe without recreacion and playe cānot endure ner any estraunger for the conueniēcie of bothe their estates so metely in that poinct for any of theim as the either of theim for theother 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 foūden 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 lōg haue kepte hym or is more tendrely like to cherishe hym then his owne mother that bare hym No māne denieth good madame ꝙ y● cardinall but that your grace of all folke were moost necessarie aboute your chyldrē so would all that coūsaill not only bee content but also glad y● it were if it might stand with your pleasure to be i suche place as might stāde with their honour But if you apoinct your self to tarie here thē thynke thei it more cōueniēt the Duke of Yorke were with that kyng honorably at his lybertie to the cōforte of theim bothe then here as a sanctuary māne to their bothe dishonoure and obloquy sith there is not alwaie so greate necessite to haue that childe with the mother but that occaciō sometyme maye bee suche that it should bee more expediēt to kepe hym els where whiche in this well apereth that at suche tyme that your moost derest soonne thē 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 cōtent therw t your self Not very well content ꝙ the quene pet the case is not like for theone was then in helth theother 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 rōne 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 frēdes 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 thē 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 whē 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 sēde 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 mēne 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 tēdre loue he beareth hym least your grace should sende hym

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 vn to 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 kind nesse 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 therle 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 cōmunicated 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 cōmitted 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 whē 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
