was ââ¦oon according to the Kings appoyntment Here we finde some variance in writers ãâã as by an old French pamphlet which I haue ãâã it should appere the King commanded first ãâã this Duke should be conueyed vnto the Tower where he ment to common with him and ãâ¦ã any other place but neuerthelesse the king shortly after appointed that he should be sent to Caleys as in the same Pamphlet is also contended others write that immediatly vppon his apprehension the Earle Marshall conueyed him vnto the Thames and there beeing set aboorde in a shippe prepared of purpose hee was broughte to Calleys where hee was at lengthe dispatched out of lyfe eyther strangled or smoothered with pillowes as some doe write Out of an ââ¦le ââ¦reach ãâã For the Kyng shynkyng it not good that the Duke of Gloucester should stand to his answer openly bicause the people bare him so good much will sent one of his Iustices called WilliaÌ Rikil an Irisheman borne ouer vnto Caleis there to inquire of the the duke of Gloucester whether he had committed any such treasons as were alledged against him and the Earles of Arundel and Warwike as after shall be specified Iustice Rikââ¦l hearing what he confessed vpon his examination wrote the same as he was coÌmaunded to doe and therwith speedily returned to the king

he being the youngest was kepte backe from the gouernement though he were for his wisedome and policie most highly esteemed and had in all honour In the beginning of his reigne he was wrapped in many great troubles and miseries Alvred persecuted by Danes specially by the persecution of the Danes whiche made sore and greeââ¦ous warres in sundry parts of this lande destroying the same in moste cruell wyse About a moneth after he was made kyng Mat. VVest he gaue battayl to the Danes at Wilton hauing with him no great number of people so that although in the beginning the Danes that day were put to the worse The Danes obââ¦eyne the victorie yet in the end they obteined the victorie Shortly after a truce was taken betwixt the Danes and the Westsaxons And the Danes that hadde lyen at Reading The Danes ââ¦vintered at London remoued from thence vnto London where they laye all the winter season In the seconde yeare of Alvred his reigne the Danyshe kyng Halden ledde the same armye from London into Lindsey and there lodged all that Winter at Torksey In the yeare following the same Halden inuaded Mercia 874. ââ¦epton and wintred at Ripingdon Ther were come to him three other leaders of Danes whiche our writers name to be kings Godrun Esketell and Ammond so that their power was greatly increased Burthred king Mercia Burthred king of Mercia whiche had gouerned that countrey by the space of .xxij. yeres was not able to withstande the puissance of those enimies And so thervpon he was constrained to auoyde the countrey wente to Rome where he departed this lyfe and was buried in the Church of our Ladie neere to the Englishe schoole Theyr armie by sea saylyng from Warham towarde Excester The Dane vvent to Excester susteyned great losse by tempeste for there peryshed syxe score shyppes at Swanewicke Moreouer the armie of Danes by land went to Excester in breache of the truce and Kyng Alvred followed them but coulde not ouertake them tyll they came to Excester and there he approched them in suche wyse that they were glad to deliuer pledges for performaunce of such couenauntes as were accorded betwixte him and them H. Hunt And so then they departed out of the countrey and drewe into Mercia But shortly after when they had the whole gouernemente of the lande from Thames northward they thought it not good to suffer king Alvred to continue in rest with the residue of the couÌtreys beyoÌd the Thames And therefore the three aforesayd rulers of Danes Godrun Esketell and Ammound inuading the countreye of Weastsaxons came to Chipnham distant .xvij. myles from Bristow 877. and there pitched their tentes Kyng Alvred aduertised heereof Polyd.

betokened that the Princes and gouernours of the Realm should decline from the way of truth Dunstan seeth the Deuill often but now he was become a wayter at the Table when Dunstane sate with the King and wander as folish beastes without a guide to rule them Also the nighte after this talke when the King was set to supper Dunstan sawe the same sprite or some other walke vp and downe amongst them that wayted on the table within three days after the K. was slayne as before ye haue heard Edredus or Edred Ran. Higd. Sim. Dunel He brente the Abbey of Rippon whiche was kept against him As he was returning homeward an host of enimies brake out of Yorke and setting vpon the rereward of the kings army at a place called Easterforde Easterforde made great slaughter in the same Wherefore the King in his rage mente to haue begun a new spoyle and destruction but the Northumbers humbled themselues so vnto him that putting away their foresaide K. Hirke or Hericius and offering great rewards and gifts to buy their peace they obteyned pardon But bycause that Wolstan the Archbishop of Yorke was of counsell with his countreymen in reuolting from K. Edredus The Archbishop of Yorke imprisoned and aduancing of Hericius K. Ederdus toke him and kept him in prison a long time after but at length in respect of the reuerence which he bare to his calling he set hym at libertie and pardoned him his offence Math. West reciteth an other cause of Wolstanes imprisonment Mat. VVest as thus In the yere of grace saith he 951. King Edrede put the Archbishop of Yorke in close prison 951 bycause of often complayntes exhibited against him as he which had commaunded many Townesmen of Theadford to bee put to death in reuenge of the Abbot Aldelme by theÌ vniustly slayne and murthered After this when Edredus had appeased all ciuill tumultes dissentions within his land VVil. Malm. he applyed himselfe to the aduancing of Religion wholly following the mind of Dunstane by whose exhortation he suffered patiently many tormentes of the body and exercised himselfe in prayer and other deuoute studies Edredus departeth thys life Finally after he had raigned nine yeares and a halfe he departed this life to the great greeuance of menne and reioycing of Angels as it is written and was buried at Winchester in the Cathedral Church there Here is to be noted that the foresaide Edrede when hee came firste to the Crowne vpon a singular and most especiall fauour whiche hee bare towards Dunstan the Abbot of Glastenbury Dunstan in fauor he committed to him the chefest part of all the threasure as charters of landes with other monuments and such antient princely iewels as belonged to the former Kings with other such as he gote of his owne willing hym to lay the same in safekeeping within his Monasterie of GlasteÌbury Afterward when King Edred perceyued himselfe to be in daunger of deathe by force of that sicknesse which in deede made an end of his life he sent into all parties to such as had any of his treasure in keeping to bring the same vnto him with all speede that hee mighte dispose thereof before his departure out of this life as hee should see cause Dunstane tooke suche thyngs as he had vnder his handes and hasted forwarde to deliuer the same vnto the King and to visit hym in that tyme of hys sicknesse according to hys duetie But was not this a deuise thereby to deteyne the treasure for I do not reade that he deliuered it out of his hands An Angell or as some think a worse creature but as he was vpoÌ y e way a voice spake to him froÌ Heauen saying behold K. Edred is now departed in peace At the bearing of this voyce the Horse whereon Dunstane rode fell downe died being not able to abide the presence of the Angell that thus spake to Dunstane And when he came to the Court he vnderstoode that the King dyed the same houre in whiche it was tolde him by the Angell as before ye haue heard This Edwarde in his latter dayes beeyng greatly addicted to deuotioÌ and religious priests at the request of hys mother Edgina restored the Abbey of Abingdon which was built firste by K. Inas but in these dayes sore decayed and fallen into ruine Edwin AFter the decesse of Edredus Edreâ⦠his Nephewe Edwin the eldest sonne of Kyng EdmoÌd was maââ¦e King of England and began his raigne ouer the same in the yeare of our L. 955. and in the .20 yeare of the Emperour Otho the firste 955 in the .28 and last yeare of the raigne of Lewis King of France and about the twelfth yere of Malcolme the first of that name King of Scotland He was sacred at Kingston vppon Thames by Odo the Archbishop of Canterbury The same day of his Coronation as the Lordes were set in counsell about weighty matters touching the gouernemente of the Realme hee rose from the place VVil. Malm. Polidor gate him into a chamber with one of his neere kinswomen and there had to do with hir without respect or any regard had to his royall estate and princely dignitie Dunstane lately beforenamed Abbot of Glastenbury did not onely without feare of displeasure reprooue the king for such shamefull abusing of his body but also caused the Archbishop of Canterbury to constreyne him to forgoe y e company of that woman whom vnlawfully hee kept as his wife Iohn Cap. There be that write that there were two women both mother and daughter whome K. Edwin kept as concubines for the mother beeing of noble parentage sought to satisfie the Kings lust in hope that eyther hee woulde take hir or hir daughter to wife And therefore perceyuing that Dustane was sore against suche wanton pastime as the King vsed in their company so wrought Dunstane banished the Realme that DuÌstan was through hir earnest trauel banished the land And this is also reported that when he should departe the Realme the Deuill was hearde in the West end of the Church taking vp a great laughter after his roring manner as though he should shew himselfe glad and ioyfull of Dunstanes goyng into exile Dunstane seeth not the Deuill But Dunstane perceyuing his behauiour spake to him and sayd well thou aduersarie do not so greatly reioyce at the matter for thou doest not now so much reioyce at my departure but by Gods grace thou shalt be as sorowfull for my returne Dunstane departed into exile Thus was Dunstane banished by K. Edwine so that he was compelled to passe ouer into Flaunders where hee remayned for a tyme within a Monasterie at Gaunt finding muche friendshippe at the handes of the gouernoure of that countrey Also the more to wreake his wrath VV.

Iohn of Gaunt Duke of Lancaster with other Englishe Lordes came into Scotlande in Ambassade to treate for the appeasing of the discorde as then continuing betwixt the two Realmes and in the ende the matter was so handled that a truce was concluded to endure for three yeares A truce taken As the said Duke was returning homewards Rebellion in Englande he was informed of the rebellion and insurrection made by the commons of England against the nobles Iacke Straw hauing one Iacke Staw others to their captaines whervpon doubting to passe through his owne countrey till things were better appeased he returned into Scotlande was conueyed by William Erle of Dowglas and Archymbald Dowglas Lorde of Galloway vnto holy Roode house beside Edenbourgh where he remayned till he heard that the rebels were suppressed and their captaynes slaine or taken and put to execution The truce expired As soone as the truce was expyred Archymbalde Dowglas Lorde of Galloway The garison of Lochmaben displeased in his minde that the Englishmen lying in garison within the Castell of Lochmaben did dayly harie and robbe the villages and country townes of Galloway Annandall raysed a great power by support of the Earles of Dowglas March therwith layd a strong siege vnto the sayd Castell of Lochmaben 1384 and hauing lyen thereat the space of ix dayes they fought with a number of English men that came out of Carleil to rescue this castel whom hauing put to flight they gaue therewith also a sharpe assault to the Castell and put them within in suche feare that sir William Fetherston then captaine thereof The castell of Lochmaben rendred to the Scottes and the residue consented to yeeld the house vnto the Scots euen the same day w tout more ado vpoÌ condition they might depart w t their goods in saftie into EnglaÌd Fourdon But Fourdon writing of the winning of this Castell speaketh not of any ouerthrow giuen to those that should come from Carleil in maner as other write For thus he sayth WheÌ Archimbald Dowglas had got knowledge that the same Castell was vtterly vnprouided both of men and vitails necessarie for the defence therof he assembled an army togither with the helpe of the Earles of Dowglas Dunbar who ioining with him enuironed the Castell about with a strong siege so that no succour coulde enter to the reliefe of them within at any hande Sir William Fetherston Herevpon the captaine sir William Fetherston knight sent letters vnto the lord wardens of the English marches requiring ayde letting them to vnderstande in what daunger hee stoode for lacke of men and vitayles The wardens wrote to him again that he should do his best for .viij. dayes to holde out if no succor came within that terme theÌ to do as he shuld see cause Herevpon sir William Fetherston requyred a truce of the Scottish lords for the space of those .viij dayes within which terme if no succor came to remoue their siege he would yeeld the castel vnto them the liues and goods of theÌ within saued This was granted the Scots ceassed further to annoy them within by assaultes and when the .ix. day was come and no ayde from Englande appeared they receyued the castel into their possession according to the couenaÌt And so the Scottes hauing thus wonne the Castell of Lochmaben razed it quite downe to the earth It is rased King Richard hearing that the Scots had atchieued this enterprise appoynted the Baron of Graystocke with a certaine number of men to go with vitayles and munition vnto Roxbourgh for doubt least if the Scottes came to lay siege to that fortresse finding it vnprouided they might peraduenture bring it into further daunger than would lightly be remedied As this Baron was come within a myle of Roxbourgh he was takeÌ by the Erle of March The Baron of Graystocke taken and brought to Dunbar with all his prouision The king of England being informed also of this mishap appoynted two armies one by sea An army by sea and an other by lande prepared against the Scottes The Duke of Lancaster commeth with an army to Edenbourgh another by land to inuade the Scots y e Duke of Lancaster hauing the general charge conduit of theÌ both who giuing order to theÌ that shuld passe by sea what they shuld do entred himself by land and wasting the couÌtryes of March Louthian came to Edenbourgh toke y e town but wheras his souldiours woulde haue spoyled and burned it he compounded with the inhabitantes for a summe of money and so returned without doing any more domage His nauie being as then arriued in the Forth taryed behinde and first burning the Abbay of Saint Colmes Inche a number of the Souldidiers with their Captayne 's landed in Fife and spoyled diuerse townes and villages there but in the ende Thomas and Nicholas Erskynnes being brethren Alexander Lindsey and William Cunningham of Kylmauris The English men discomfited in Fife set vpon them and slue the most part of them so that few in number escaped againe to their ships being pursued hard to the water side The strengthes of Tiuidale recouered The same yere the Erle of Dowglas recouered al the strengthes of Tiuidale out of the English mens handes which they had helde euer sithe the battaile of Durham vnto those dayes The Earle of Dowglas deceasseth This Erle of Dowglas one of the most valiaÌt personages in those his dayes within the whole realme of Scotlande died within his Castell of Dowglas shortly after he had atchieued this enterprise was buried in the Abbey of Melros Iames Earle of Dowglas After his deceasse his sonne Iames succeeded in the Erledome of Dowglas a right fierce and hardie knight the which shortly after appoynted by the king to haue the guyding of an armie The Scots inuade Northumberland he passed with the same into Englande and burnt the Countrey so farre as Newcastell But being countermauÌded home he returned and came vnto Perth Iohn de Vian Admirall of France where hee founde the Lorde Iohn de Vian Admirall of Fraunce and Earle of Valentinois who about the same time was arriued in Scotlande with two hundred and .xl. shippes well and perfitely furnished for the warres and in them two thousand and fiue hundred armed meÌ 26 Barons

Androwes hee brought him to Faulkland The Duke of Rothsay coÌmitted to prison where he shut him vp in straite prison and kept him without al manner of meate or drinke so to famish him to death It is sayde that a woman vnderstanding the Duke of Albanies intention and taking ruth of the others pitifull case found meanes to let meale fall downe through a rift of the loft of that towre wherein he was enclosed by meanes whereof hys life was certayne dayes susteyned but after thys was once knowne incontinently was the woman made away On the same maner another woman through a long reede fedde him with milke of hir owne brests and was likewise dispatched as soone as her doings were perceyued Then after this The Duke of Rothsay famished to death the Duke destitute of all worldly sustenaunce through very famine was constreyned to eate not onely all suche filth as hee could finde within the Towre but also in y e end hee gnawed off his owne fingers and so finally in this miserable state of Martirdome as I may call it ended his wretched life and was buryed in Lundoris Miracles where as the fame wente many fayre miracles were done neere to his graue till tyme that Iames the first began to punish the murtherers for sithens that time such miracles ceassed About the same time The displeasures done by George Earle of March George Earle of March did many displeasures to the Scottes makyng sundry rodes into their countrey greatly to hys profyte The Earle of Dowglas that had the gouernmente of Lowthian in those dayes tooke order The Earle of Dowglas gouernoure of Louthian that certayne Captaines of that Countrey shuld euery one for his turne with a competente number assigned to him for the time rode into England to reuenge such displeasures The first that went Thomas Holy burton was Thomas Halyburton who returned in safetie with a great pray taken of Englishmens goodes Next vnto him was Patrike Hepborne of the Halis the yonger appoynted to goe ââ¦oorthe as Captayne generall with a certaine number who entring into Englande gote a great bootie togither but the Englishmen following therevppon to recouer it encountred with hym at Nesbetiâ⦠the Mers Patricke Hepborne slayne at Nââ¦sbet and there not onely slew him but also distressed his people Besides them that were slayne with theyr Captayne there were also many that were taken as Iohn and William Cokborne Roberte Lawder of the Bas Iohn and Thomas Haliburton with many other Almost all the floure of Lowthian as Iohannes Maior writeth perished in this battell whiche was fought the .xxij. of Iune in the yere .1402 1402 Archembald Dowglas inââdeth Englande Archembald Earle of Dowglas sore displeased and wonderfully wroth in his minde for this ouerthrowe gote commission to inuade Englande with an army of tenne thousand men and hauing the same once ready with all thyngs necessary for his voyage hee set forwarde and entring into Englande brente and harried the countrey not staying till hee came as farre as Newcastell In this army there was with the Dowglas Murdock eldest sonne to Duke Robert Earle of Fife Thomas Earle of Murray The Nobles of Scotland in this army George Earle of Angus with many other Lords and nobles of Scotlande It is sayde that after the Scottes were once put to flight they gathered agayne and renewed the battell by the exhortation of Adham Gordon and sir Iohn Suynton but that dyd little auayle them for they were still beaten downe and slayne Amongst other of those that were slaine were the same sir Iohn Swynton and Adham Gordoun Men of name slayne Also Iohn Leuynston of Kalendare Alexander Ramsay of Dalhowsy with sundry other gentlemen and nobles of Scotland Prisoners taken Archembald Earle of Dowglas Mordo Stewarde eldest sonne to Duke Robert the gouernour George Earle of Angus Roberte Erskyn of Alloway the Lorde Saulton Iames Dowglas maister of Dalkeith and his two brethren Iohn and William with the most part of all the Barons of Fyfe and Lowthian were taken prisoners This battell was fought on the Roode day in Haruest in the yeere .1403 vpon a tuisday H. B. 1402 The Castell of Cocklauis beseeged Henry Percy righte proude of this victory came with the Earle of March vnto the Castell of Cokclauis in Teuidale and layde seege to the same but Iohn Greynelow Captayne thereof defended it so manfully that they gote no greate aduauntage yet at length he fell to this composition with them that if he had no reskewe within the space of three moneths A compositioÌ the Castell shoulde be then rendred into their hands When the gouernour of Scotlande was enformed what agreement the Captayne of Cokclauis had made he assembled the Lordes in couÌsell to haue their aduice for the leuying of an army against the time appoynted There were many of this opinion that it was better to lose the Castell than to ieoperde the liues of so many men as were necessary to furnish that enterprise for the sauing of it but y e gouernor shewed that hee weyed
the losse of it so much that if none of the nobles would passe with him to the reskew thereof he would yet goe himselfe to doe what in him might lie to saue it But in the meane time such trouble rose in England that there needed no power to be leuied for the defence of Cokclauis A conspiracie against Kyng Henry by the Percies and other For by a conspiracie practised agaynste Kyng Henry certayne of the English nobilitie were alyed togither to haue destroyed him but amongst the residue the Percies were as chiefe They fought togither at Shrewesbury a right bloudy battell where the King gote the victory Shrewesburie fielde and slewe the Lorde Percy surnamed as before ye haue heard Henry Hotespurre The Earle of Dowglas at Shrewesburie field in ayd of the Percies At this battell was also the Earle of Dowglas with a greate company of Scottishmen on the Percies side for beeing taken prisoner at the battell of Hommyldoun as before is sayde it was accorded betwixte hym and the sayd Henry Hotespurre that ayding hym and other his complices against King Henry if it chaunced the said Kyng Henry to be vanquished and put from the Crowne according to their intente and purpose then should the sayd Earle Dowglas be released of his raunsome and haue the towne of Barwike rendred vnto hym in rewarde of hys ayde and assistaunce He led the foreward ther. He fought as is reported with singular manhoode and hadde the fore warde on the Percies side He slewe that day with his owne hands three gentlemen arrayed in the Kings coate armour and finally when the battell was lost He is taken prisoner he was taken in the chase and saued aliue where not one more of all his retinue of Scottes escaped with life but were all slayne out of hande Neyther was this victory gotten by Kyng Henry withoute greate slaughter of those that were on his parte for he lost foure right valiaunt Knights as Staluart Blont Massie and Pottok with seuen hundred other souldiers and men of warre as the Scottishe writers haue but the English auctors name a farre greater number as sixteene hundred at the least King Henry as the same Scottishe writers doe recorde vsed the

valiancie was right tenderly cherished by King Henry who for that hee hadde seene him doe so valiantly in the day of that battell reputed hym worthy of all honor This Earle of Dowglas yet was righte infortunate in most of his enterprises The Earle of Dowglas infortunate in battell His surname Tinneman so farre soorth that he neuer wanne battell wherein he chaunced to be was therefore named Archebald Tinneman though there was no default to be found at any time in his owne person for he euer foughte with great manhoode At the battell of Hommyldoun he lost one of his eyes and at this battell of Shrewesburie he lost one of his stones The olde Earle of Northumberland The Earle of Northumberland fled into Scotlande hearing what euill successe his sonne and other his kinsmen had founde in their rebellious enterprise at Shrewesbury with one of his Nephewes that was his sonnes sonne and other of his frieÌds and kinsmen withdrew into Scotland where he was receyued by Henry Wardlaw bishop of Sainte Androws and lodged with him at his ease and in good suretie within his Castell of Sainte Androws aforesayde About the same time The death of the Duke of Rothsay commeth to the knowledge of his father King Robert was aduertised that his son the Duke of Rothsay was pyned to deathe in Falkland in maner as before is expressed which newes were so greeuous vnto him that he grewe eache day more and more in sorowe and melancoly The Duke of Albany kepte it so long as was possible from the Kings knowledge and beeing nowe sente for by the Kyng to aunsweare hym for suche treasonable slaughter of hys sonne The Duke of Albany excused himselfe hee came and so excused the matter with a fayre paynted tale as though hee had bin nothing giltie in the cause and for further declaration of his innoceÌcie he promised if it might please the Kyng to come vnto Edynburgh hee woulde bring in the offendors which were culpable of the murder The Kyng as then remayning in Bute where for the most part he euer soiourned thogh hee were not well able to trauell by reason of long sicknesse The Kyng commeth to Edynburgh yet in a chariot hee came vnto Edynburgh vpon the earnest desire he had to see his sonnes death punished And at his comming thither the Duke of Albany deliuered vnto hym certayne naughty persons and suche indeede as for their haynous actes and vngratious conditions deserued well to die though not for thys matter whiche neuerthelesse by vntrue suggestions and forged accusements beeyng broughte afore corrupt iudges and suche as the Duke of Albany had prouided for his purpose were condemned as giltie of his deathe Giltlesse persons condemned whome in al theyr lyfe time they neuer sawe Though thys matter was handled as finely as was possible and made so sounde and cleere as coulde bee deuised yet was not the Kyng so satisfyed in hys mynde but that hee hadde a greate suspicion in the Duke of Albany as authour of hys sonnes deathe The suspition of the Kyng towards the Duke of Albany but for so muche as the Duke had all the Realme vnder hys obeysance partly by policie partly by authoritie of his office beyng gouernour therof y e King durst not attempt any thing agaynste hym but rather doubted least hee hauing an ambitious desire to the Crowne woulde compasse also to haue the lyfe of his seconde sonne named Iames as then Prince of Scotlande and therefore by the faithfull helpe and good aduice of Walter Wardlawe the Bishop of Sainte Androws he prouided a Shippe The Kyng sendeth away his sonne the Prince and sente the sayde Prince forth in the same to passe into Fraunce deliuering hym also a letter written and directed vnto the King of England in his fauoure if he chaunced to fall at vnwares by any fortune into the Englishmens handes Henry Lorde Synclare the seconde Earle of Orkney was appoynted to haue the conuoye of hym who hauing all his purueyance ready tooke the Shippe that was appoynted for them at the Bas

When the King was truely certified that the Scottishe King was returned home hee stayed all the preparations made at that time to goe against him but yet meaning to bee reuenged of the wrongs done to hym by King Iames and his people he first called a Parliament and in that assemblie of the three estates of his Realm he declared the cause of the instant warre how necessarie it should be for the suretie and welth of the realme of England to haue that war pursued against those enimies that had begon it To this motion all the nobilitie wholly agreed And to the maintenance of that warre a subsidie was by whole assent of the parliament freely giuen and graunted Which payment though it was not great yet manie of the coÌmon people sore grudged to pay y e same as they that euer abhorre such taxes exactions At the same parliament were diuers acts statutes made necessarie and expedient as was thought for the publike weale of the realm 1497 In the meane season the K. of Scots perceyuing that the Englishmen would shortly goe about to reueÌge the iniuries done to them by him and his people assembled eftsoons a puissant armie that he might either defende his realme against the English power attempting to inuade his countrey or else a fresh to enter into the English borders And thus these two mightie princes mynded nothing more than the one to endomage the other But the king of England wold not deferre one houre by his good will til he were reuenged and therfore prepared a mightie army to inuade Scotland and ordeyned for chieftayn therof y e lord Daubeney But as this army was assembled and that the lord Daubeney was forward on his iourney towards Scotland he was sodainly stayed and called backe again by reason of a new commotion begon by the Cornishmen for the paimeÌt of the Subsidie which was granted at the last parliament A Rebellion in Cornewall for the payment of a subsedie These vnruly people the Cornishmen inhabiting in a bareyn country and vnfruitful at the firste sore repined that

C. archers vnder a banner of sainte George issued foorthe Cââ¦peper vnâ⦠Marshall of Calaâ⦠and in great haste came to Newnham bridge where they founde the other Englishmen that had won the bridge of

other that had spoiled the Marishes were retourned with a great booty At the first wheÌ the frenchmen saw the EnglishmeÌ approch they thought they had bin their owne fellowes But when they saw the banner of saint George they perceyued howe the matter went and so determined to defeÌd themselues against their enemies but the Englishemen set so fiercely on that finally the Frenchemenne were discomfited and foure and twenty of them slaine beside twelue foore that were taken prisoners all the ordynaunce and ââ¦tie againe recouered The eleauenth day of August the king the Emperour Maximilian The Emperoâ⦠Maximilian and the King of Englande meete met togither betwixte Ayre and Terrovaâ⦠and after they had moste frendly saluted eyther other and talked a while togyther they departed for y e time He that desireth to vnderstande howe richely the Kings Maiestie the Duke of Buckingham and other the nobles of Englande were apparayled at this enteruiewe he may reade thereof in the Chronicles of Maister Hall The Emperour and his retinue were all in blacke as mourners for the Empresse lately before was deceassed Wythin a daye or twoo after thys enterviewe and that the King was retourned to his campe thither came a King at armes of Scotlande called Lion A letter of defiaunce feâ⦠by the Scottish King to King Henry wyth his coate of armes on his backe who within short time was by Garter Kng of armes broughte to the Kyngs presence where hee being almoste dismaide to see the Kyng so noblye accompanyed wyth fewe wordes and meetely good countenaunce deliuered a letter to the King which his grace receyued and readde it himself and therwith hauyng conceyued the whole contentes thereof made aunswere immediatly to the Herrault after a sharpe sorte reprouing the great vntruth in the Kyng of Scottes hys Maister whyche nowe accordyng to the custome of dyuers hys anncestours woulde so dishonourablye breake hys faithe and promysse But fithe hee hadde mystrusted no lesse and that nowe his vniuste dealyng well appeared hee hadde the Herrault tell hys Mayster that hee shoulde neuer bee comprised in anye league wherein hee was a confederate and that he hadde lefte an Earle in hys Realme that shoulde bee able to defende hym and all hys power and further that where hee was the verye owner of Scotlande as of whome it was holden by homage he woulde not faile at hys retourne to expulse hym out of his Realme and so saythe hee to the Herrault tell thy Mayster Sir said the Kyng of armes I am hys naturall subiect and hee my naturall Lorde and that he commaundeth me to say I may boldely say wyth fauour but the commaundements of other I maye not nor dare faye to my soueraigne But your letters with your honoure sent maye declare your pleasure for I may not say such words of reproche to hym vnto whom I owe only myne allegiance and faith Then saide the Kyng wherefore came you hither will you receiue no answere Yes saide Lion but your aunswer requireth dooyng and no writyng that is that immediatly you shuld retourne home Well sayde the Kyng I will returne to your domage and not at thy Maisters summoning Then the king commaunded Garter to take him to his tent and to make hym good cheare whiche so did and cherished hym well for hee was sore abashed After hee was departed the King sent for all the Capitaines and before them and hys counsell caused the letter to be redde the contentes whereof were The effect of the Scottishe Kings letter to King Henry that King Henry hadde not delt wyth hym vprightly in sundry points as in maintainyng of those whiche had slayne hys people of Scotland by sea and also in succouryng basterde Heron wyth his complices whiche hadde vnder truste of dayes of meeting for Iustice slaine his Wardein Also his wifes legacie was by hym withhoulden And moreouer where firste hee hadde desired hym in fauour of his deare cousin the duke of Gelder not to attempt any thyng agaynste hym yet hadde hee sente his people to inuade the sayde Dukes countrey whiche did what in them laye to destroye and disinherite the saide Duke that had nothyng offended agaynste hym And nowe againe where hee hadde made the lyke request for his brother and cousin the moste Christen Kyng of Fraunce yet notwythstandyng had the King of Englande caused hym to lose hys Dutchie of Millaine and at this present inuaded hys Realme wyth all his puissance to destroy hym and hys Subiectes where as yet the saide Kyng of Fraunce hadde bene euer friend to hym and neuer giuen hym occasion thus to doe In consideration of whiche iniuries receyued in his owne person and in his frends he muste needes seeke redresse and take part with hys brother and cousin the said king of France Wherefore hee requyred hym to desiste from further inuasion and destruction of the Frenche dominions which to do if he refused he plainlye declared by the same letters that he would do what hee coulde to cause him to desiste from further pursute in that hys enterprise and also giue Letters of Marque to hys Subiectes for the denial of Iustice made to them by the king of Englande The letters thus sent to the Kyng of Englande were dated at Edenburghe the sixe and twentith daye of Iulye and gyuen vnder the signet of the saide Scottishe King When the King had thus caused these letters to bee readde and throughly considered of them as apperteyned hee sente them strayght vnto the Earle of Surrey whiche then laye at Pomfret and caused other letters to bee deuised to the Kyng of Scottes King Henry his aââ¦ââ¦ere to the Scottishe Kings letters the effect wherof was that althoughe hee well perceyued by the Kings letters whiche he hadde receyued from hym in what sorte vnder colour of contriued occasions and fained quarrells hee ment to breake the peace hee didde not

into Wardes and wynges at the firste thoughe afterwarde vppon occasion this order was somewhat altered And nowe that euery man knew what to do the Erle of Surrey commyng wyth hys power towardes the place where hee thought to finde the Scottishe hoste hee was enformed howe King Iames being remoued a six miles from Norham The strengthâ⦠of the place vvhere Kyng Iames lay encamped called Flodden lay embattailed vppon a greate mountaine called Flodden a place of suche strengthe as it was not possible for the Englishmen to come neare hym but to their greate disaduantage for at the foote of the same hill on the lefte hand there was a great marishe grounde full of reed and water On the ryght hande it was defended with a riuer called Til the course whereof being so swifte and the chanell in some places to deepe that it myght not conuenientlye bee passed On the backe halfe there were such craggy rockes and thicke woods that it was not possible to assayle hym to anye aduauntage that way forthe And on the fore parte of the campe where Nature hadde lefte an easye entry for men to come to the same all his ordinaunce was planted alofte vpon the sides of such trenches as hee had caused to bee caste for defence on that parte The Earle of Surrey herevppon consydering with hymself that onlesse he might deuise some policie to cause the Scottishe armye to discend the hil it wer not possible for him to accomplish his desire he calling about him his counsell An Herraulte sente from the earle of Surrey to King Iames. and with them taking aduice in this point at length it was coÌcluded determined among other things to send Rouge Crosse Purseuaunt of armes wyth a trumpet to the Kyng of Scottes wyth a Message and certain Instructions whych in substance was to shewe and declare vnto the sayde Kyng of Scottes that where hee contrarye vnto hys othe and league and vnnaturallye agaynst all reason and conscience hadde entred and inuaded this his brothers Realme of England and done greate hurte to the same in castyng downe Castels Towers and houses brenning spoyling and destroying the same and cruelly murthering the Kyng of England his brothers subiectes he the sayde Earle woulde bee readie to trie the rightfulnesse of the matter with the king in battayle by Friday next comming at the farthest if he of his noble courage would giue him tarying and abode And the same the said Earle promised as he was a true Knight to God and the Kyng of Englande hys maister The Lorde Admirals ââ¦essage to the K. of Scottes And before Rouge Crosse should departe with the sayde instructions the Lorde Admirall gaue him in credence to shewe the sayde Kyng of his comming and parte of hys companye from the Sea with him and that hee had soughte the Scottishe nauie then beeing on the Sea but hee coulde not meete with them bycause they were fledde into Fraunce by the coast of Ireland And in as muche as the sayde Kyng hadde diuers and many times caused the sayde Lorde to bee called at dayes of truce to make redresse for Andrewe Barton Andrewe Barton a Pirate of the Sea long before that vanquished by the same Lorde Admirall hee was nowe come in hys owne proper person to be in the vantgard of the field to iustifie the death of the sayde Andrew against hym and all hys people and woulde see what coulde be layde to hys charge the sayde day and that he nor none of his company should take no Scottishe noble man prisoner nor any other but they should dye if they came in his daunger vnlesse it were the Kings owne person for hee sayde hee trusted to none other curtesse at the hands of the Scottes And in thys manner hee should finde hym in the vantgard of the fielde by the grace of God and Sainte George as he was a true Knight Yet before the departing of Rouge Crosse with the sayde instructions and credence it was thought by the Earle and his counsayle that the sayde King woulde fayne and imagine some other message to send an Herrault of his with the same onely to view and ouersee the manner and order of the Kyngs royall army ordinance and artillerie then beeing with the Earle whereby myghte haue ensued greate daunger to the same â⦠good ââ¦oââ¦e and for the eschuing thereof hee hadde in commaundemente that if anye suche message were sente not to bryng any person commyng therewith within three or two mile of the fielde at the nighest where the sayde Earle woulde come and heare what hee woulde saye And thus departed Rouge Crosse with hys Trumpette apparrelled in hys coate of armes On Monday the fifth daye of September the Earle tooke hys fielde at Bolton in Glendale as he hadde appoynted where all the noble men and Gentlemen mette hym with their retinues to
at Valencennes all the great artillerie The king was somewhat displeased with the breaking vp of the armie thus contrarie to hys mynde but hearing the reasonable excuses which the Duke and the Captaines had to alledge he was shortly after pacified and so after they had remayned in Caleys a certaine tyme till their friends had asswaged the kings displeasure they returned and all things were well taken and they receyued into as much fauour as before But nowe to returne to the doings in other partes as betwixt the Englishmen and Scots which chanced in this meane whyle that the D. of Suffolke was thus in Fraunce Ye shall vnderstande that the Scots hearing that the warre was thus turned into Fraunce thought that nothing shoulde be attempted against them and therefore waxed more bolde and beganne to rob and spoyle on the marches of Englande The Scottes spoyle the English marches wherefore the king sent agayne thither the Earle of Surrey Treasurer and high Admirall of Englande the which with all speede comming to the west borders The Earle of Surrey inuadeth Scotland sent for an armie of vj. thousande men with the which entring into Scotlande by the drie marches he ouerthrewe certaine castels pyles and small holdes till he came through the Dales to Iedworth wherein lay a great garrison of Scottes which skirmished with the Englishmen right sharply at their first comming Iedworth breÌt but yet at length the towne abbey and castell were wonne spoyled and burnt After this the Earle encamped within the Scottishe grounde from the xxij of September till the xxâ⦠of the same moneth and then returned backe againe into England The castle of Fernyherst wonne by the Lorde Dacreâ⦠During which time the Lord Dacres wanne the castel of Fernyherst The French king perceyuing that the Scottes did not worke any notable trouble to the Englishmen to stay them from y e inuading of Fraunce and the case was as he tooke it for that they lacked the Duke of Albanie whome they named their gouernour He threfore prouided a nauie of shippes to haue transported him ouer into Scotlande so that all things were redy for his iourney but y t the EnglishmeÌ were to ready ââ¦n the sea vnder the conduct of Sir William Fitzwilliam to stoppe his passage if he had set forwarde wherefore he caused his shippes to be brought into Breââ¦ââ¦uen and bruited of abroade that he woulde not go into Scotlande that yeare The king of Englande being certified that the Duke meant not to depart out of Fraunce of all that yeare about the myddest of September commanded that his ships should be layde vp in hauens till the next spring The duke of Albanie being thereof aduertised boldly then tooke his shippes and sayled into Scotlande with all conuenient speede as in the Scottishe historie ye may reade more at large Shortly after his arriuall there he wrought so with the Scottes that an armie was leuyed with the which he approched to the borders of Englande and lodged at Cawde streame ready to enter into Englande The king of England hauing aduertisement giuen to him from tyme to tyme of the proceedings of his aduersaries with all diligence caused to be assembled the people of the North parts beyonde Trent in such numbers that there were three thousande Gentlemen bearing coates of armes with their powers strength which were all commaunded to repayre to the Earle of Surrey with speede Barwick chiefly regarded The noble Marques Dorset was appoynted with vj. thousande men to keepe Barwicke least the Scots shoulde lay siege thereto The Duke of Albany hearing of the preparation which the Earle of Surrey made against him sent to him an Herault promising him of his honor to giue him battayle and if he tooke him prisoner he woulde put him to courteous raunsome and his bodie to be safe To whome the Earle aunswered that much he thanked the Duke of his offer promising him to abyde battayle if he durst gyue it and that if the sayd duke chaunced to be taken by him or his men he wold stryke off his heade and sende it for a present to his mayster the king of Englande and bade him that he shoulde trust to none other At this aunswere the Duke and the Scottes tooke great despite The Earle of Surrey being at Alnewicke there came to him the Earles of Northumberlande and Westmerlande the Lordes Clifford Dacres Lumley Ogle and Darcie with many Knights Esquires Gentlemen and other souldiers and men of warre to the number of fortye thousande And from the Court ther came the Maister of the horse sir Nicholas Carewe sir Fraunces Brian sir Edwarde Baynton and others The castel of Warke assaulted by the Scots The last of October being Saterday in the night before the same day the Duke of Albanie sent two or three thousand men ouer the water to besiege the Castel of Warke which comming thither with their great ordinance bet the castell very sore and wanne the vttermost Warde called the Barnekynnes Sunday and Monday being the first and seconde of Nouember they continued their batterie and then thinking that the place was faultable courageously set on the Castell and by strength entred the seconde Warde Sir William Lisle that was Captaine of this Castle perceyuing the ennimies to haue wonne the false Brayes and that nothing remayned but onely the inner Warde or Dungeon encouraged hys men to the best of his power with wordes of great comfort and manhoode and therwith issued forth with those fewe that he had lesse aboute him for he had lost many at other assaults and what with couragious shooting and manfull fighting The Scots and French driues backe from Warke castel the ennimies were driuen out of the place and of them were slayne and namely of those Frenchmen which the Duke had brought forth of Fraunce to the number of three hundreth which laye there deade in sight when the Earle of Surrey came thither beside such as dyed of woundes and were drowned Then the Scottes and Frenchmen remoued their ordinaunce ouer the water in all haste and by that time that they were got ouer the earle of Surrey was come with fiue thousand horsmen and all his great armie followed He was sorie that his enimies were gone and much praysed sir William Lisle for his valiancie The Earle woulde gladly haue followed his enemies into their own borders but his CoÌmission was onely to defende the Realme and not to inuade Scotland and therfore he stayed not onely to the great displeasure of himselfe but also of many a lustie Gentleman that wold gladly haue seene further proofe of the Scottish mens manhoode Shortly after the Queene of Scots mother to the
