As for Castles and Forts built by the Kings grant and allowance upon any Delinquents ground contrary to the will of the said Delinquent We decree that after the owner o●●● at land hath paid his fine which must be within three years for six yeers more the owner of that Land shall pay such custome as was imposed by the King or else accept of a reasonable exchange for the said Land 11. All Lay-men who notoriously advanced the Earls designs and assisted him or his adherents Attrahendo homines per mendacia falsitates parti Comitis suorum detrahendo parti Regis filli sui by drawing people through lies and falsities either to the Earle and his party or from the King and his party it is ordained that they be fined as much as two years revenues of all their estates 12. That all such as were pressed or out of fear went to the Wars but never fought against the King or did any mischiefe also those that being not able to go themselves yet by force or fear were compelled to contribute towards the Armies-against the King or the Prince also that those that were enforced to be plunderers or to aid and assist any plunder-masters and yet did return to their habitations as soon as conveniently they could be all left In misericordiâ Domini Regis 13. That all those that wittingly bought any plundered goods restore the value of the goods and be In misericordia Domini Regis because they thereby have offended against the Law and done contrary to the Kings expresse command set for half a year before 14. That all those that at the Earls command went into Northampton yet never gave the rebels their assistance or made any resistance but as soon as they perceived the King comming took Sanctuary provided that this be attested by the oaths of good and lawful men likewise that those that owed no suit or service to the Earle and yet came upon his command be all fined half a years revenue of every one respectively but those that held of the Earle in Fee let them be only In misericordiâ Domini Regis 15 That impotent silly people and all such as did no mischiefe may enjoy their estates as formerly and recover dammages at the Kings Bench against those that shall wrong them 16 That those that accuse any of their fellow subjects out of malice be punished at the Kings pleasure and that his Majesty thence forwa●d do not easily give credit unto them And we judge that they deserve the same punishment as the accused if the accusation 〈◊〉 true provided that they lose not life limb or estate 17. That all such as are accused upon meer malice may still enjoy their estates and recover dammage against their accusers in the Kings Bench as above said 18 That all women injoy their own inheritances and dowries But those lands that came by their husbands who have been against the King shall be redeemed by a fine according as his Majesty shall impose upon them c. 19.

That because it may be of dangerous consequence that any Castles should remain in the power of those who were in actuall Rebellion against the King we therefore decree and ordaine that for the Castles of Hardley Bytham and Chertley there be given a reasonable exchange 21. As for the Earle Simon Monfort his Countesse and his sons we decree nothing because our Soveraign Lord the King hath referred them and their offences to the King of France 22. As for the City of London taking notice it seems of their humble submission we commend it and do make this motion to our Soveraign Lord the King that by the advice of his Privy Councel he take order for reforming the state of the City and settle their Lands Revenues Buildings and Liberties and that this Order be presently debated 23. For the Lord Ferrers we decree that he be fined seven years revenues of all his estate 24.

Item that all whom it may concern take their oaths upon the holy Gospel of God that they will never take any revenge be accessory or consenting to take any revenge nor will suffer as much as in them lies that any revenge should be taken against any one for any injury suffered in the late times of trouble and if any one shall presume to revenge himself we decree that punishment be inflicted upon him in the Kings Bench Court 27. That the Holy Church receive full satisfaction from those that have injured her 28. But if there be any that will not submit to this Ordinance or refuse to be tried by their Peers before our Soveraign Lord the King let them forfeit their estates for ever And if there be any that have gotten possession of the Rebels Lands and were himself a Rebel he is thereby uncapable of challenging any right to the land or to have any title to the fine by the Kings Majesties gift 29. Whosoever will not submit to this Ordinance let him be accounted a profest enemy to our Soveraign Lord the King and to his Sons and to the whole Realm and let all the Laity and Clergy as far as the Canon Lawes and Common Lawes will reach prosecute such an one as an enemy to the peace of Church and State About the end of October the King assembled all the Lords Spirituall and Temporall and Knights of the Shires to Northampton where this decree was confirmed by Act of Parliament 30.

Thus endeth that Famous Ordinance called to this day * Dictum de Kenelworth wherein are comprised the wisest rules that the wisest men of those times could possibly devise to uphold compose and recover a tottering distracted dying Kingdome The Barons of Cinque Ports seeing the King prosper made their peace with the King About two months after the publication of this Ordinance viz. upon Saint Thomas Eve the Castle was delivered up upon conditions too good for those that had so barbarously used the Kings Messenger contemned the King and impoverished the Country to march away with their goods and to undergo no fine for taking up Arms. This Castle had the King bestowed upon the Earle of Leicèster in franke marriage with his sister Elionor but when the Earle by his Rebellion had forfeited and the King had now won it he gave it to his own Sonne Edmund Earle of Lancaster who by this time had reduc'd the Isle of Axholme and all those rude ignorant people that flockt thither pillaging and plundering the Kings friends round about The Prince also met with Adam Gurdon a famous sturdy Rebell that lay lurking in Aulton Wood in Hampshire robbing and spoyling the adjacent parts Precipuè terras eorum qui parti Regiae adhaerebant Rishanger the Prince upon his approach hearing of his valour sent him a Challenge for a single Combate Gurdon accepts it and performed it so gallantly that the Prince assur'd him of his life and estate if he would submit which he did and was received into great favour with the Prince but divers of his men were there executed Now the Isle of Ely was strongly fortified by a great multitude got together that refused to submit to the Ordinance of Kenelworth Upon the naturall strength of this Isle and the plenty of all provision therein seditious Rebels have often presumed and from hence have molested more Kings then one as they did now the neighbouring Counties robbing and pillaging Norfolk Sussolk and Cambridgeshire plundering the City of Norwich and carrying away the richest Citizens made them redeem themselves at length a message was sent unto them requiring them to submit to the Ordinance of Killingworth to leave off robbing their fellow subjects and to return to their allegiance Hereto they return this insolent answer That they had taken up arms to defend the good of Church and State and therefore ought to be restored to the●r lands without paying any fine In briefe they require hostages into the Island and that they might hold it five years peaceably till they saw how the King would performe his promises perfidious subjects ever suspect their Princes fidelity which high insolency of theirs unheard of till our times so exasperates the King that he resolves to try the utmost to reduce them to their obedience for that purpose marches with a mighty Army against them the Prince also joyns with a considerable power after many assaults at length after they had held it above two yeers by the help of new made bridges and boats they stormed it on every side that they were forced to yield And now men thought the fire was quite out But there were yet some live embers which the Earle of Glocester upon some distaste blowing suddenly flamed out again in London where the Commons of the City forgetting their late punishment and as men saith mine Author without dread of God or the King drew up in arms again flock'd to the Earle of Glocester Fabian plundered the well-affected to the King sequestred their estates brake the Prisons chose a new Mayor and Sheriffes made Bulwarks and Barbicans and fortefied the City wonderously and were so confident of their strength and cause that they durst bid the King battell appointing Hounsloe-health for the field The King by a speedy march came to the place at the time appointed but they instead of meeting his Majesty ran about the City in a tumultuos manner Some to Westminster and there plundered the Kings Pallace fenestras ostia fregerunt saith Mat. W stm vix manus a cembustione totius Palatii cohibentes brake the doors and windows hardly forbearing to set it all on fire Then the King removed his camp to the other side of the City and had his head quarters at Stratford three miles off the City the rest of his Army lay at Ham a village hard by The wiser Citizens foreseeing the danger that hung over them desired a treaty with the King whereunto though they were most unworthy of so much clemency his Majesty was graciously pleased to condescend and upon these easie terms they were again received to mercy Imprimis Salvo in omnibus dicto Killingworthi that the Ordinance of Kill●ngworth should be observed in all points then that the fortifications should be razed and the trenches filled up lastly that 1000.

That so if another Rebellion should be begotten it might no where find a Nurse and then it could not be long-liv'd Also for the more quiet and secure travelling of his Subjects he appoints a Captain in every County who with a Troop of Horse should alwaies assist the Sheriff for the taking and punishing all stragling reliques of the late Armies and high-way robbers wherewith the Kingdome did abound at that time no place free from them In some places also Ruricolae saith R●shanger the Country people would generally rise against them as against Wolves or Bears and at one time they took and kill'd fifty of them that were got together neer St Albans in Hartfordshire Besides the King Proclamari
