her ancient Priviledges and Liberties and the Ringleaders of them juxta voluntatem ipsius Regis plecti to suffer such punishment as his Majesty was pleased to inflict Et ditiores Civitatis in carcerem truderentur saith Matth. Westm pro eo quod Simoni in Regis contemptum etiam damnum Regni fortiter adhaeserint that the wealthier Citizens should be cast in prison because they had in contempt of his Majesty and great dammage and mischief of the Realm assisted the Earl Furthermore it was there enacted that all such as had favoured the Rebels were they now in prison or at large should forfeit all their estates Afterward the King marcht with a great power to Windesore resolving as the fame then went to destroy the whole City of London Many of the Rabble and wild Commoners saith Fabian were as resolved to defend the City against him but the wiser sort thought better to become humble petitioners for their pardon of what was past than to incense his Majesty any farther and to that end drew up an humble Petition and presented it to the King but their late rebellious carriage had so far p●ovoked his M●jesties patience that he would not so much as admit of their Petition or hearken to any that endeavoured to mediate for them Hereupon they were advised to draw up an Instrument or w●iting wherby they should yield themselves wholly both bodies and goods to the Kings mercy which was done accordingly and seased with the Common Seal of the City His Majesty upon earnest suit unto him accepted hereof giving present expresse command that all the Chains and Posts which they had placed at every street and lanes end should be forthwith carried to the Tower and that the Mayor and Fourty of the chiefe Citizens should repair unto him the next day and confirm their said writing this was done and they all came accordingly but contrary to their expectation though not deserts were all delivered into the custody of the Constable of Windesore Castle and shut up there in a lage Tower where they had small cheer and worse lodging The next day toward night all but five whereof the Mayor was one had their enlargement Those five their bodies and goods were as a boone bestowed on the Prince the rest were commanded to attend at W●ndesore for a long time after Sixty or seventy wealthy Cicizens with all their Lands Goods and Cattles did the King dispose to his household-servants For the Government of this unruly City the King appointed one Othon a forreiner or stranger first Constable of the Tower and then Custos or Warden of the City to pull down their haughty rebellious spirits and that his peace for the future might be surely kept he required the best mens sons in the City for Hostages These he clapt up in the Tower and caused them to be there kept at the cost and charges of their Parents Daily suit was made unto his Majesty for his Pardon and Favour but in vain then they petition the King to know his gracious pleasure what Fine he would demand of the whole City for their offences against him The King at length signified unto them that the summe of Fifty thousand Marks should be their Fine Whereunto the Londoners return this humble answer They had been of late by this unhappy War * Long before the discovery of the West-Indyes so exceedingly impoverished that a summe so great as it was in those times could not possibly be raised amongst them wherefore they humbly beseeched his Princely compassion might be so farre extended towards them as to require and accept according to their abilities At length after much suit and submission and a Fine of twenty thousand Marks the King received them to mercy and sent them under his Great Seal a generall Pardon those onely excepted whose estates were already bestowed granting and allowing that their former Charter and ancient Priviledges should be restored unto them notwithstanding all the transgressions they are the words of the Pardon and trespasses done to Us to our Queen to our noble brother Richard King of Almaine and the Prince our first begotten son And here was the first pacification betwixt the King and the Londoners for whom wee may say thus much That their foul Rebellion againg their Soveraign was not more detestable then their humble submission to their Soverain was commendable And therefore in the Ordinance called Dictum de Kene●worth made for the setling of the Kingdom we find them notwithstanding all their disloyalty commended as shall be seen in the ensuing Story After the proud stomach of this City was brought down and all tumultuous spirits quelled the King calls his Parliament in festo Sancti Edvardi Regis to Westminster wherein those that aided and assisted the Earl were all excepting the Londoners attainted and that all theit Lands and Goods were forfeited But this Sentence though it was lesse than they deserved yet was more than they would endure and therefore the fire that was not yet quencht but smothered breaks forth again Some flie into the Isle Ely and fortifie that Some into the Isle of Axholme in Lincolnshire Another party possesse themselves of Killingworth Castle Another under the command of the Lord Ferrers in the Northern parts And amongst others one Adam Gurdon lived as an Outlaw in Hampsh●re * Rishanger tum rarus aut nullus locus in Anglia fuit tutus eò quod terra erat vespilionibus plena Now scarce any place in England was free from plunderers To reduce these to obedience the King undertakes K●llingworth Castle The Prince was sent against Adam Gurdon Lord Edmond the Prince's brother against those in Axholme And Lord Henry the King of Almaines son against the Lord * This Lord Henry the Kings Nephew was a valiant Souldier and having found out the Lord Ferrers at Chesterfield gave him battel over threw him and because he had been pardoned once before it was decreed that he should be degraded and depived of his Earldom for ever and fined fifty thousand pounds Ferreres To the Rebels in K●llingworth Castle the King sent first a gracious message willing them to desist and return to their obedience But they contrary to all Law of Arms contrary to naturall civility cur off the Messengers hand and sent him back with an uncilil answer Then the King marcht to Killingworth and sate down before it upon Midsummer Eve During the Siege which lasted six Moneths Clerus populus convocantur duodecim eliguntur de potentioribus Procerum prudentioribus Praelatonum quibus datur potestas ordinandi super Statutum exhaerendatorum c. The Clergie and Laitie are assembled and out of the chiefest of the Peerage and wisest of the Prelates were chosen twelve to whom power was given to pronounce sentence against the Rebels and to settle the peace of the Kingdom they first taking an Oath de utilibus ordinandis to decree nothing but what should be for

Et ad honorem bonum prosperum pacificum statum Christian ssimi Principis Domini Henrici Regis Angliae Illustris totius Angliae Ecclesiae Nos Willihelmus c.

Moreover as for Wards or young Hei●s that were in actuall Rebellion against the King during their minority their Guardians shall pay their Fines and the said Wards when they come to age shall pay back the same to their Guardians within two or three years so that the Gardians shall have the Wardship and their marriages without disparagement even till they be come to full age and all Wards shall pay their Fines after the same manner as those of full age Onely the Kings own Wards shall be in the hands of those to whom the King shall give them until they come to years and then they shall pay down their Fines according to the same manner as those of full years Provided alwais than there be no wast made by the Guardians upon their estates If there be then the Guardians to be punished according to Law 3. If any that were for the King before and since the battel at Lewes be now fined for not assisting the Prince when he was raising forces to rescue his Father we leave him to the King to be censured or pardoned as he shall think fit 4. That there be no sale or waste made of any Woods by those on whom they were bestowed unlesse the Fine be not pai'd within the time limited Onely it is allowed that they shall cut so much wood as is necessary to keep the houses in reparations and if they shall exceed this allowance to be severally punished 5. If any be thought to be dangerous persons and that they are like to move sedition and to revive the Wars let the King secure their persons as he shall think fit either by sending them into forreine parts for a time or what other way shall be thought expedient provided alwaies that if they be thereby hindred from paying their Fines they shall not forfet their estates 6.

Whereas the King's Majesty is ingaged to many that served him in his Wars and faithfully stuck to him who he hath not yet sufficiently rewarded and some have been rewarded above their deserts we desire that the King take speciall care that out of Delinquents estates they may be all rewarded to the full lest otherwise a new War should be occasioned 8. That the Kings Majesty be graciously pleased to make choice of twelve able Men that may be authorized to see this punctually and faithfully performed and that the Kings Majesty his Heirs or Successors take care that it be all firmly observed and

To this Traiterous Ordinance the King Metu incarcerationis perpetuae compulsus est consentire for fear of perpetual imprisonment was inforced to give his Royal assent And for further security to be content to give it under the great Seal and upon Oath that whensoever he attempted to assume unto him his Regal power Liceat omnibus de Regno nostro contra nos insurgere Chron.
