that had more happie successe by the conduit of his Captaynes whiche he sente foorth as Lieutenaunts vnder him for they neuer lightly returned home but with victory The constancie of King Roberte in word and promise He was a Prince of such coÌ„stancie in promise that he seldome spake the worde which he performed not Suche an obseruer he was also of iustice that when so euer hee remoued from any place hee would cause proclamation to be made His vpright â—…tice that if any of his men or officers had taken vp any thing vnpayde for the partie to whome the debte was due should come in and immediately he shoulde be satisfyâ—…d His diligence â—â—dresse poore mens wings He willingly hearde the complayntes of the poore and was no lesse diligent to see their wroÌ„gs redressed And for so much as Iohn was thought to bee an infortunate name for Kings The name of Iohn chaunâ—…ed and called Roberte the third WilliaÌ„ Dowâ—â—â— of Nidâ—…dâ—…e choâ—â— Admirall by the Lordes of Prutzen they chaunged his name and called him Robert after his father being now the third of that name About the same time William Dowglas of Niddesdale was chosen by the Lordes of Prutzen to be Admirall of a nauy conteyning two hundred and fortie shippes whiche they had rigged and purposed to set foorthe againste the miscreaunt people of the Northeast partes but being appealed by the Lord Clifford an Englishman who was there likewise to serue with the foresaid Lords in that iourney to fight with him in a singular combate He is slayne by the Lorde Clifforde Duncane Steward inâ—…eth Angus Before the day came appoynted for them to haue darreigned the battell the Lorde Clifford lay in awayte for the Dowglas and vppon the bridge of Danzke mette with him and there slew him to the great disturbance and stay of the whole iourney Moreouer shortly after the coronation of king Roberte the thirde tidings came that Duncane Stewarde sonne to Alexander Stewarde the Kings brother afore rehersed was entred into Angus with a greate number of men and slewe Walter Ogiluy Shirefe of the countrey that came foorth with a power to resist him from spoiling the people whom he miserably afflicted howbeit these his insolent doings were not long vnpunished for the Earle of Crawfort beeing sent against him with an army caused him to disperse his company and to flee his wayes but beeyng apprehended with the most part of his sayd company they were punished according to their demerites At this time also the most parte of the North countrey of Scotland The North partes of Scotland sore disquieted by two Clannes was sore disquieted by two Clannes of thâ—…se Irish Scots cleyed Kateranes whiche inhabite the hye lande countreys the one named Clankayes the other Clanquhattanes These two being at deadly â—…ude Wild Scots cleped Kateranes robbed and wasted the countrey with continuall slaughter and reise At length it was accorded betwixt y e parties by the aduice of the Earles of Murray Crawfort that thirtie persons of the one Clan A battell of thirtie against thirtie shoulde fight before the King of Perth againste thirtie other of the other Clannes men with sharp swords to the vtterance without any kind of armoure or harnesse in triall and decission of the quarell for the which the varyance betwixt them first rose Both these Clannes right ioyfull of this appointmente came to Perth with their number where in a place cleped the North Inche a little beside the Towne in presence of the King and other iudges assigned thereto they foughte according as it was agreed and that with such rage and desperate furie that all those of Clankayes part were slayne one onely excepted who to saue his life after he sawe all his fellowes slayne A desperate fighte kepte into the water of Tay and swamme ouer and so escaped There was a .xi. of Elanquhattanes syde that escaped with life but not one of them vnwounded and that very sore At their entring into the fielde or listes where they should darraigne y e battell one of y e Clannes wanted one of hys number by reason that hee which should haue supplyed it was priuily stollen away not willing to be partaker of so deere a bargaine but there was a Countrey felowe amoÌ„gst the beholders being sory that so notables fighte shoulde be passed ouer offered himselfe for a small summe of money to fyll vp the number though the matter apperteyned nothing to him nor to any of his friends This battell was foughte betwixt these two Clannes in manner as before is remembred in the yeere .1396 1396 In the thirde yeere after a Parliamente was holden at Perth wherein besides diuers constitutions and ordinances enacted for the aduauncement of the common wealth the King made his eldest sonne named Dauid that was as then about an eighteene yeeres of age Duke of Rothsay and his brother Roberte that was Earle of Fife and gouernour of the Realme The firste Dukes that were created in Scotlande as before yee haue heard hee created Duke of Albany These were the firste Dukes that hadde bin hearde of in Scotland for till those dayes there was neuer any within y e Realm that bare that tytle of honor During the time that the peace continued betwixt the two Realmes of England and Scotland there were sundry iusts and combates put in vre Iusts and combates betwixte Scottes and Englishmen and exercised betwixt Scots and Englishmen for proofe of their valiant actiuitie in feates of armes to winne thereby fame and honor But amongst the residue that was most notable whiche chaunced betwixt Dauid Earle of Crawford Scottishe the L. Welles English It was agreed betwixte these two noble men to runne certayne courses on horsebacke with speares sharp ground The Earle of Crawfort of Scotland and the Lord Wels of England iusted for life and deathe for life and death The place appoynted for these iustes was London bridge and the day the three and twentie of Aprill being the feast of Saint George At the place and day thus prefixed they came ready to furnishe their enterprise and being mouÌ„ted on their
Realmes of Scotland and Fraunce and also to get some power of Scottes to passe into Fraunce to support the sayd Charles against the Englishmen whiche as then sore inuaded his Realme Wherevpon shortly after by decree of councell it was ordeyned An army of Scottes sent into Fraunce that Iohn Stewarde Earle of Buchquhane second sonne to Duke Robert and Archimbald Dowglas Earle of Wigton should passe into Fraunce with .vij. thousande armed men The King of Englande enformed heereof to cause the Scottes to keepe their menne at home The King of England menaceth the Scottes menaced to inuade Scotland with a puissant army and that in all hast Whiche rumor beeyng spred ouer all the boundes of his Realme caused the Scottes for doubt thereof to lie all the nexte sommer on the bordures but in the meane tyme King Henry passed ouer into Normandy to pursue his Warres agaynste Fraunce with all diligence At length through procurement of the Duke of Burgoine vnder certayne conditions and couenauntes of agreemente The King of Englande marieth the daughter of Fraunce King Henry tooke to Wife the Lady Katherine daughter to the French King And amongst other Articles of the same agreement it was concluded The articles of agreement that after the decesse of Charles the Frenche King the Crowne of Fraunce should immediately descend vnto King Henry as lawfull inheritour to that Realme withoute all contradiction by reason whereof Charles the Dolphine and sonne to the sayde King Charles was cleerely excluded from all clayme to the same but this notwithstandyng The Dolphin of Fraunce maynteyneth the warre against the Englishmen the Dolphine did not only refuse to surrender hys title but also soughte to mainteyne the warre againste King Henry as his aduersarie and open enimie to the Realme In the meane while also the Earles of Buchquhan and Wigton with Alexander Lindsay brother to the Earle of Crawford and Thomas Swyntoun Knightes Scottish souldiours arriued in Fraunce accompanyed with seuen thousand well armed men arriued in Fraunce to the greate reioycing of the Dolphine as hee well declared in the thankfull receyuing and most hartie welcomming of them Finally Chatelon in Touraine deliuered to the Scottishmen the towne Castell of Chatelone in Tourayne was deliuered to them that they might haue a place at all times to resorte vnto at their owne will and pleasure Shortly after The battell of Bauge The Duke of Clarēce slaine they were employed in seruice at the battell of Bauge soughte on Easter euen where y e Duke of Clarence brother to the King of Englāde the Earle of Riddisdale otherwise called the Earle of Angus the Lord Rosse y e Lorde Gray diuers other great Barons were slayne beside other of the meaner sort in all to the number of sixteene hundred Prisoners taken There wer also a great company of prisoners taken at the same iourney amongst whome as principall were these the Earle of Huntington and the Earle of Sommerset with his brother both of them being breethren to the Lady Iane that was after married to King Iames the first Kyng of Scotlande For the high valiauncie of the Scottishmen shewed in this battel the Dolphin created the Earle of Buchquhan high Cōnestable of Fraunce The Earle of Buchquhane is created Connestable of Fraunce gaue him sundry townes Castels and Lands therwith the better to maintayne his estate The King of Englande sore moued for the death of his brother came ouer with all speede into France with a mighty host and had with him Iames the Scottishe King The King of England taketh the Prince of Scotland ouer with him into Fraunce or rather Prince of Scotland for all this while the Scottes reputed him not as King for y t he was not as yet crowned nor set at libertie out of the Englishmens hands into the which as before ye haue hearde he chaunced to fall by his fathers life time The cause why King Henry did take thys Iames ouer with him at y e present into Fraunce was for that he hoped by his meanes to procure all the Sccottishmen that were in seruice with the Dolphin to forsake him and to returne home into their owne countrey but when he had broken thys matter vnto the saide Iames and promised that if he could bring it to passe he woulde not only remitte his raunsome but also send hym into Scotlande highly rewarded with greate riches The answere of Iames the king or rather prince of Scotlande Iames aunswered herevnto that hee maruelled much why he did not consider how he had no auctoritie ouer the Scottes so long as he was holden in captiuitie and as yet had not receyued the Crowne but sayeth he if it were so that I might be set at libertie had receyued y e Crowne according to the accustomed manner togyther with the othes and homages of my subiectes I could thē in thys matter do as should be thought to stande with reason but in the meane time I shall desire your grace to holde mee excused and not to will mee to doe that whiche I may in no wise performe King Henry toke it for a sufficient aunswere King Henry maruelling at the high wisedome which appeared to be planted in the head of that yong Prince left off to trauell with hym any further in this matter In the meane time the warres continuing betwixte the King of Englande and the Dolphin of Fraunce many townes were besieged wonne and sacked and sundry light bickerings and skirmishes chanced betwixte the parties as occasion serued The crewell dealing of the Englishmen towardes the Scottes But the Englishmen shewed themselues to beare suche hatred towarde the Scottes that so many as fell into their handes neuer needed to strayne their friendes for their raunsomes which crueltie they put not in practise against their enimies being of any other nation At length The death of Henry King of Englande King Henry fell into a greeuous disease whiche in shorte time made an ende of hys lyfe notwithstandyng all the helpe that eyther by Phisicke or otherwayes myght be ministred vnto him The same yeere 1422 The death of Charles the French King that is to witte .1422 the French King Charles the syxt of that name deceassed after whome succeeded his sonne Charles the seuenth before named the Dolphin as the custome there is By the death of these Kings the warres were not altogither so earnestly followed as before wherevppon the Earles of Buchquhane and Wigtoun returned into Scotlande and shortly after was an army leuyed and siege layde both to Roxburgh and to Barwike Roxburgh and Barwike beseeged but for that they lay long abroade and did no good returnyng home withoute gayne this iourney in derision was called the durty rode The Dyrtin rayde or as the Scots terme it the dirtin rayde But now to speake somewhat concerning the order of the common wealth in Scotlande yee shall vnderstande that after
to resist the Kings proceedings this Sir Raufe Evre beyng then within Scarborrough Castel He is besieged in Scarborrough Castell accoÌ„paned onely with his friends seruants and tenants whiche of very good will were contented to serue vnder him was besieged in the same Castell and kept from all reliefe succours that might come or be brought vnto him from any parte during the terme of sixe weekes or there about so that for the space of xx dayes after theyr prouision was spent they liued onely with bread and water hauing little or no other sustenance whiche extremitie not withstanding he kept the fortresse in safetie to the Kings vse vnto the ende of that dangerous rebellion and then to his high prayse and commendation deliuered it like a faithful GentlemaÌ„ into the Kings hands This I should haue set downe in place where mencion is made of that rebellion but the note came not to my hand till that parte of the booke was paste the presse and so rather here than not at all I haue thought good to imparte it to the Reader But now to returne to the purpose for the doings in Scotlande About the same time that the victory before mencioned chanced to the Scottes Robert Carncorfe bishop of Rosse departed this life Death of Byshops to whome succeeded Dauid Pantane Secretary to the gouernour an Priour of S. Mary I le In Aprill William Steward bishop of Aberden likewise deceased and master William Gordon ChaÌ„cellor of Murray vncle to George Erle of Huntley was by the Cardinals suyte promoted to that see greatly to the displeasure of the Erle of Angus that laboured to haue preferred an other thereto For this other causes the Cardinal was greatly in hatred of y e Dowglasses This yeere also Montgomery otherwise called Monsier de Lorges Monsieur de Lorges sent into Scotland knight of the order of S.

Henries reigne the fundation of S. Bartholomew by Smythfield was begon by Rayer one of the Kings Musitians as some write who also became the fyrst Priour thereof In those dayes Smithfielde was a place where they layde all the ordure and filthe that was hadde foorth of the Citie And also it was the appoynted place of execution where Felons and other transgressoures of the lawes did suffer In thys third yeare of kyng Henries reigne the Queene was delyuered of a sonne called Willyam Truely not onely kyng Henry heere in Englande but also other Princes and hygh potentates of the temporaltie about the same season chalenged thys ryght of inuesting Bishops and other spirituall ministers as a thyng due vnto them and their predecessours without all prescription of tyme as they alledged whiche caused no small debate betwixte them and the clergie as in that whiche is written thereof at large by other maye more easily appeare But Anselme the Archebishoppe of Canterbury more earnest in this case than many other Anselme refuseth to consecrate the bishops inuested by the king woulde not admitte nor consecrate such bishops as were nominate and inuested by the Kyng making no accompte of their inuestitute and further hee tooke vppon hym to aduise the Kyng not to violate the sacred lawes rites and ceremonies of the christian Religion so lately decreed concerning those matters But so farre was the King from gyuing any eare to his admonitions that he stoode the more styffely in hys chalenge And where Thomas the Archebyshoppe of Yorke was lately before departed out of this transitorie lyfe he gaue that benefice so beeing voyde vnto one Gerard Gerard inue◅ Archbishop of Yorke a man of great witte but as some writers reporte more desirous of honour than was requisite for a man of his calling and willed him in despite of Anselme to consecrate those bishops which he had of late inuested This Gerard therfore obeying his cōmandement did consecrate them all VV. Giffarde bishop of VVinchester M. Paris VV.
