did what laie in them now at the first to keepe him from all maner of light demeanor But afterwards when euerie one began to studie more for his owne priuate commoditie than for the aduancement of the common-wealth they set open the gates to other which being readie to corrupt his good nature by little and little grew familiar with him and dimming the brightnesse of true honour with the counterfeit shine of the contrarie so maskered his vnderstanding that in the end they brought line 40 him to tract the steps of lewd demeanor and so were causers both of his and their owne destruction This séemeth to be touched by C. Okland who speaking of the death of the old king and the erection of the new saith of him according to our annales as followeth Vndecimum puer hic nondum transegerat annum Cùm iuuenile caput gessit diademate cinctum Qui postquam princeps iustis adoleuerat annis Dicere non facile est quantum distaret auitis Moribus atque animo fuit hic quàm disparemente line 50 Dissimili ingenio clarae matríque patríque The Frenchmen not ignorant of such mischéefes as were like to grow in England suffered no time to passe but tooke occasions of aduantage when they were offered ¶ Among other enterprises I find that shortlie after the deceasse of king Edward the duke of Burgognie wan Arde and two or three other fortresses in those marches The Scots this yeare also wan the castell of Berwike by stealth one morning but shortlie vpon knowledge had the earles of line 60 Northumberland and Notingham the lords Neuill Lucie Graistoke Stafford with other lords knights and esquiers came with their powers in all hast thither and entring the towne besieged the castell and finallie assaulting them that kept it wan it of them by force and slue all those Scotishmen which they found within it except Alexander Ramsie their capteine When the Englishmen had thus recouered the castell they entered into Scotland in hope to find the Scots and to fight with them whom they knew to be assembled The English host was thrée thousand men of armes seuen thousand archers but they sent foorth sir Thomas Musgraue with thrée hundred speares 〈…〉 Gouernour of this siege at the first was Yuan or Owen of Wales but he was murthered one morning as he sat alone viewing the castell and combing his head by one of his owne countriemen which vnder colour to serue him was become with him verie familiar This Owen or Yuan whether ye will for all is one was sonne to a noble man of Wales whom K. Edward had put to death for some offense by him committed where this Yuan got him into France being as then verie yoong and was brought vp in the French court and prooued an expert man of warre so that great lamentation was made for his death by the Frenchmen But the Englishmen although they misliked the maner of his death yet they were not greatlie sorrowfull for the chance sith they were rid thereby of an extreame enimie After that the Englishmen had raised the Frenchmen from the siege of Mortaigne they returned to Burdeaux and after recouered sundrie castels and fortresses in the marches of Burdelois and about Baionne Also they aided the king of Nauarre against the king of Castile and made a road into the confines of Castile But shortlie after a peace was concluded betwixt those two kings so that the lord Charles of Nauarre should marrie the daughter of the king of Castile vpon certeine conditions and so the Englishmen had their wages trulie paid them to their full contentation and therevpon returned About Michaelmasse began a parlement that was summoned at Westminster which continued till the feast of saint Andrew In this parlement the foresaid sir Peter de la Mere and other the knights that had beene so earnest against dame Alice Peres in the last parlement holden by king Edward the third so prosecuted the same cause now in this parlement that the said dame Alice Peres was banished the realme and all hir goods mooueable and vnmooueable forfeited to the king bicause contrarie to that she had promised by oth in the said last parlement she had presumed to come within the court and to obteine of the king what soeuer was to hir liking There were two tenths granted by the clergie to the king in this parlement and two fiftéenes of the temporaltie to be paid the same yeare and two citizens of London William Walworth and Iohn Philpot were appointed to haue the kéeping of that monie to the end it might be imploied to the kings necessarie vses for the defense of the realme Sir Hugh Caluerlie being deputie of Calis comming one morning to Bullongne burnt certeine ships which laie there in the hauen to the number of six and twentie besides two proper barkes being vessels of no small accompt and hauing spoiled and burnt the most part of the base towne he returned to Calis with a great rich bootie of goods and cattell Also where the castell of Marke in absence of the capteine sir Robert de Salle that was gone ouer into England was lost through negligence of them that were left in charge within it the same sir Hugh Caluerlie made such spéed in the matter that he recouered it againe the same daie it was lost by force of assault taking the Frenchmen prisoners that were gotten into it and hanging certeine Picards stipendarie soldiers in the said castell vnder the said sir Robert de Salle for that whilest the Englishmen were gone foorth to see the shooting of a match which line 10 they had made amongst themselues a little off from the castell those Picards being left within shut the gates against them and receiued in the Frenchmen with whome they had practised in treason kéeping the Englishmen foorth to whome the safe kéeping of that castell was committed This yeare was a bull sent from the pope vnto the vniuersitie of Oxenford to apprehend Iohn Wicliffe parson of Lutterworth in Leicestershire within the diocesse of Lincolne Also there were other line 20 bulles to the same effect sent vnto the archbishop of Canturburie and to the bishop of London Likewise to the king were letters directed from the pope to require his fauour against the said Wickliffe so greeuouslie was the pope incensed against him and not without cause for if his conclusions in doctrine tooke effect he well perceiued his papisticall authoritie would shortlie decaie As for the popish cleargie to them not onelie the sect but also the name of Wickliffe was so odious that in recording his opinions line 30 and sectaries they excéed the bounds of all modestie aggrauating such reports as they infer concerning him or his with more than hyperbolicall lies as appeereth by that long and tedious discourse which he wrote that compiling certeine annales intituled De euentibus Angliae prefixeth this verse in the

Edmundsburie In the meane while the K. being gone as yee haue heard to the borders of Scotland a brute was raised that he was dead and secretlie buried at Reading But this rumour had not time to worke any great alteration for after he had dispatched his businesse in the north as he thought expedient he returned and comming into the east parts about the midst of Lent himselfe in person besieged the castell of Colchester and within a few daies after his comming thither it was deliuered vnto him by Frenchmen that kept it with condition that they might depart with all their goods and armour vnto their fellowes at London and that the Englishmen there in companie with them in that castell might likewise depart vpon reasonable ransoms But although that couenant was kept with the Frenchmen yet the Englishmen were staied and committed to prison Wherevpon when the Frenchmen came to London they were apprehended and charged with treason for making such composition whereby those Englishmen that were fellowes with them in arms were secluded from so beneficiall conditions as they had made for themselues They were in danger to haue béene put to death for their euill dealing herein albeit at length it was concluded that they should remaine in prison till the comming of Lewes vnto whose pleasure their cause should be referred After this the castell of H●dingham was woone which belonged vnto earle Robert de Uere Then the king prepared to besiege London but the Londoners were of such courage that they set open their gates and hearing of the kings approach made readie to issue forth to giue him battell wherof the king being aduertised withdrew backe but Sauerie de Mauleon was suddenlie set vpon by the Londoners lost manie of his men and was sore hurt and wounded himselfe The king perceiuing that it would not preuaile him to attempt the winning of the citie at that time drew alongst the coast fortified his castels and prepared a great name meaning to encounter his enimie Lewes by sea but through tempest the ships which he had got togither from Yarmouth Dunwich Lin and other hauens were dispersed in sunder and manie of them cast awaie by rage and violence of the outragious winds Somewhat before this time also when he heard of the compact made betwixt the barons and his aduersaries the Frenchmen he dispatched a messenger in all hast to the pope signifieng to him what was in hand and practised against him requiring furthermore the said pope by his authoritie to cause Lewes to staie his iournie and to succour those rebels in England which he had alreadie excommunicated This he néeded not haue doone had he beene indued with such prudence and prowesse as is requisit to be planted in one that beareth rule of whom it is said Cui si quando Deus rerum permittat habenas Imperijque decus tunc aurea secula fiunt Tunc floret virtus terrásque Astrea reuisit Pax viget vitium duris cohibetur habenis whereas by meanes of defects in the contrarie he line 10 bare too low a saile in that he would be so foolified as being a king to suffer vsurped supremasie to be caruee of his kingdome But let vs sée the consequence The pope desirous to helpe king Iohn all that he might bicause he was now his vassall sent his legat Gualo into France to disswade king Philip from taking anie enterprise in hand against the king of England But king Philip though he was content to heare what the legat could saie yet by no meanes would be turned from the execution of his line 20 purpose alledging that king Iohn was not the lawfull king of England hauing first vsurped and taken it awaie from his nephue Arthur the lawfull inheritour and that now sithens as an enimie to his owne roiall dignitie he had giuen the right of his kingdome awaie to the pope which he could not doo without consent of his nobles and therefore through his owne fault he was worthilie depriued of all his kinglie honor For the kingdome of England saith he neuer belonged to the patrimonie of S. Peter nor at anie time shall For admit that he were rightfull line 30 king yet neither he nor anie other prince may giue awaie his kingdome without the assent of his barons which are bound to defend the same and the prerogatiue roiall to the vttermost of their powers Furthermore saith he if the pope doo meane to mainteine this errour he shall giue a perilous example to all kingdomes of the world Herewithall the Nobles of France then present protested also with one voice that in defense of this article they would stand to the death which is that no king or prince at line 40 his will and pleasure might giue awaie his kingdome or make it tributarie to anie other potentate whereby the Nobles should become thrall or subiect to a forren gouernour These things were doone at Lions in the quindene after Easter Lewes on the morrow following being the 26 of Aprill by his fathers procurement came into the councell chamber and with frowning looke beheld the legat where by his procurator he defended the cause that moued him to take vpon him this iournie into line 50 England disprouing not onelie the right which king Iohn had to the crowne but also alledging his owne interest not onelie by his new election of the barons but also in the title of his wife whose mother the quéene of Castile remained onelie aliue of all the brethren and sisters of Henrie the second late king of England as before ye haue heard The legat made answer herevnto that king Iohn had taken vpon him the crosse as one appointed to go to warre line 60 against Gods enimies in the holie land wherefore he ought by decrée of the generall councell to haue peace for foure yeares to come and to remaine in suertie vnder protection of the apostolike sée But Lewes replied

Katherin line 40 bicause the same was borne on saint Katherins daie On S. Lucies daie there fell a great snowe and withall a winters thunder for a token of some euill to follow The king to settle the state of the countrie of Gascoigne in better order tarried there all the winter and repared certeine decaied townes and castels year 1254 The quéene kept hir Christmasse at London where she laie in child-bed and was purified on the euen of the Epiphanie making a roiall feast at the line 50 which manie great lords were present as the archbishop of Canturburie the bishop of Elie the earls of Cornewall and Glocester and manie other She sent ouer at the same time to hir husband for a new yeers gift the summe of fiue hundred marks of hir owne reuenues towards the maintenance of his warres On the euen of the Circumcision of our Lord in the night season whilest the aire was most cleare and bright with shining starres the moone being eight daies old there appeared in the element the perfect line 60 forme and likenesse of a mightie great ship which was first séene of certeine moonks of saint Albons who remaining at saint Amphibalus were got vp to behold by the starres if it were time for them to go to mattens but perceiuing that strange sight they called vp such of their acquaintance as lodged néere at hand to view the same At length it séemed as the bourds and ioints thereof had gone in sunder and so it vanished awaie There followed a maruellous sore later end of a winter through cold and ouer-sharpe weather which continued till the feast of S. Gregorie in March next insuing Also there chanced the same yeare a great murren and death of shéepe and deere so that of whole flocks and heards scarse the one halfe escaped Whilest the king remained still in Gascoigne he sent for his wife queene Elenor with his eldest sonne Edward but bicause he could not make an end of all his businesse that winter he continued there the summer also And forsomuch as he stood in néed of monie to haue some reasonable pretense to demand a subsidie in the beginning of March he sent to his brother Richard the earle of Cornewall which was come ouer before cheefelie for that purpose certeine instructions to declare how there was like to follow great warre by means of Alfonse the tenth of that name king of Castile who manaced verie shortlie to inuade the confines of Gascoigne perteining to the English dominion and therefore he required of his faithfull subiects some aid of monie wherby he might be able to resist his aduersarie the said K. of Castile Earle Richard did what he could to persuade the people to this paiment but he cast his net in vaine before the face of the feathered foule as the old prouerbe saith Apparens rete fugêre volucria quaeque For though he set forth the matter to the vttermost in the presence of the Nobles and other estates yet would they not heare of anie paiment to be made as those that smelled out the feined fetch and forged tale of the kings need For they had intelligence that there was an agreement concluded betwixt him and the king of Spaine And for the same cause the quéene and the lord Edward were gone ouer that the king of Spaine might haue a sight of him as he had required when the couenants of the marriage were accorded The states of the realme were twise assembled at London about the grant of this paiment but all in vaine so that they were constreined to passe it ouer with silence and to surceasse in the matter to their great gréefe and namelie the earle of Cornewall who had taken great paines therein Yet for that he would not returne with emptie hand he leuied by rigorous means a great summe of the Iewes of whom a maine multitude inhabited at that season in London and therewith returning to his brother king Henrie shewed him how he had sped The king was not a little offended with them that thus had denied to helpe him with monie insomuch that vpon euerie light occasion he was readie to reuenge his displeasure towards them in taking awaie such grants of priuileges and liberties as before he had made But now to auoid suspicion of his feined pretense of war betwixt him and king Alfonse he sent his sonne Edward into Castile vnto the same Alfonse vnder a color to compound with him for peace wheras the verie occasion of his going thither was to purchase him the ladie Elenor to wise that was sister to the said king Alfonse At his comming to the court of Spaine he was verie honorablie receiued of the king and in the end vpon conference had of his message obteined his suit so that king Alfonse was content to bestow vpon him his daughter in marriage with the countie of Pontieu in France which she held in right of hir mother queene Ione the second wife of Ferdinando the king of Castile father vnto this king Alfonse which Ione was the onelie daughter and heire of Simon earle of Pontieu and had issue by hir husband the said Ferdinando two sonnes Ferdinando and Lewes with one daughter to wit the foresaid Elenor the which by reason hir brethren died yoong was heire to hir mother The lord Edward hauing dispatched his businesse according to his desire returned with a ioifull hart to his father and declared to him what he had doone His father most glad thereof for an a●●men●anon of honour created him prince of W●les and earle of ●●ester and appointed him to be his deputie and generall lieutenant both in Guien and in Ireland and gaue to him the townes of Bris●ow Stamford and Grantham Hereof came it that ●uer after the kings eldest sonne was made immediat●ie vpon his birth prince of Wales and earle of ●●ester He creat●d also his other sonne named Edmund earle of Lancaster About this season were certeine ships driuen by line 10 force of wind and weather into certeine hauens on the north coasts of England towards Barwike w●ich ships were of a verie strange forme and fashion but mightie and strong The men that were aboord the same ships were of some farre countrie for their language was vnknowne and not vnderstandable to any man that could be brought to talke with them The fraught and balast of the ships was armour and weapon as habergeons helmets speares bowes arrowes crosbowes and darts with great line 20 store of vittels There laie also without the hauens on the coast diuerse other ships of like forme mold and fashion Those that were driuen into the hauens were staied for a time by the bailiffes of the ports But final●ie when it could not be knowne what they were nor from whence they came they were licenced to depart without losse or harme in bodie or goods About Candlemasse Gaston de Bierne assembling togither a multitude of

prouision of vittels should be admitted maior of the citie and so by this shift they sought to cut off all meanes from the fishmongers to recouer againe their old former degrée And bicause it was knowne well inough of what authoritie sir Iohn Philpot knight was within the citie and that he fauoured those whome the lord maior the said Iohn de Northampton fauoured not he was put off from the bench and might not sit with them that were of the secret councell in the cities affaires line 60 whereas neuerthelesse he had trauelled more for the preseruation of the cities liberties than all the residue Sir Henrie Spenser bishop of Norwich receiued buls a little before this present from pope Urbane to signe all such with the crosse that would take vpon them to go ouer the seas with him to warre against those that held with the antipape Clement that tooke himselfe for pope and to such as would receiue the crosse in that quarrell such like beneficiall pardons were granted by pope Urbane as were accustomablie granted vnto such as went to fight against the Infidels Turkes and Saracens to wit free remission of sinnes and manie other graces The bishop of Norwich that had the disposing of the benefits granted by those buls to all such as either would go themselues in person or else giue anie thing toward the furtherance of that voiage maintenance of them that went in the same shewed those buls in open parlement caused copies to be written forth sent into euerie quarter that his authoritie power legantine might be notified to all men for the better bringing to passe of that he had in charge And truelie it should appeare there wanted no diligence in the man to accomplish the popes purpose and on the other part yée must note that the priuileges which he had from the pope were passing large so that as the matter was handled there were diuerse lords knights esquires and other men of warre in good numbers that offered themselues to go in that voiage and to follow the standards of the church with the bishop and no small summes of monie were leuied and gathered amongst the people for the furnishing foorth of that armie as after yée shall heare In this meane time the earle of Cambridge returned home from Portingale whither as yee haue heard he was sent the last yeare and promise made that the duke of Lancaster should haue followed him but by reason of the late rebellion and also for other considerations as the warres in Flanders betwixt the erle and them of Gaunt it was not thought conuenient that anie men of warre should go foorth of the realme and so the king of Portingale not able of himselfe to go through with his enterprise against the king of Spaine after some small exploits atchiued by the Englishmen and other of the earle of Cambridge his companie as the winning of certeine fortresses belonging to the king of Castile and that the two kings had laine in field the one against the other by the space of fifteene daies without battell the matter was taken vp and a peace concluded betwixt them sore against the mind of the earle of Cambridge who did what in him laie to haue brought them to a set field but when there was no remedie he bare it so patientlie as he might and returned home with his people sore offended though he said little against the king of Portingale for that he dealt otherwise in this matter than was looked for He had affianced his sonne which he had by the daughter of Peter sometime king of Castile vnto the king of Portingales daughter now in the time of his being there but although he was earnestlie requested of the said king he would not leaue his sonne behind him but brought him backe with him againe into England togither with his mother doubting the slipperie faith of those people In the Lent season of this sixt yeare of king Richards reigne year 1383 an other parlement was called at London in the which there was hard hold about the buls sent to the bishop of Norwich from pope Urbane concerning his iournie that he should take in hand against the Clementines as we may call them for that they held with pope Clement whome the Urbanists that is such as held with pope Urbane tooke for schismatikes Diuerse there were that thought it not good that such summes of monie shuld be leuied of the kings subiects and the same togither with an armie of men to be committed vnto the guiding of a prelat vnskilfull in warlike affaires Other there were that would needs haue him to go that the enimies of the church as they tooke them might be subdued And although the more part of the lords of the vpper house and likewise the knights and burgesses of the lower house were earnestlie bent against this iournie yet at length those that were of the contrarie mind preuailed so it was decreed that it should forward and that the said bishop of Norwich should haue the fiftéenth granted to the king in the last parlement to paie the wages of such men of warre as should go ouer with him for soldiers without monie passed not much of pardons no not in those daies except at the verie point of death if they were not assured how to be answered of their wages or of some other consideration wherby they might gaine ¶ The tenth that was granted afore by the bishops at Oxford was now in this same parlement appointed to remaine to the king for the kéeping of the seas whilest the bishop should be foorth of the realme in following line 10 those wars These things being thus appointed the bishop sent foorth his letters firmed with his seale into euerie prouince and countrie of this land giuing to all parsons vicars and curats through this realme power and authoritie to heare the confessions of their parishioners and to grant vnto those that would bestow any parcell of their goods which God had lent them towards the aduancing of the iournie to be made by the crossed souldiers against pope Urbans enimies line 20 the absolution and remission of all their sinnes by the popes authoritie according to the forme of the bull before mentioned The people vnderstanding of so great and gratious a benefit as they tooke it thus offered to the English nation at home in their owne houses were desirous to be partakers thereof and those that were warlike men prepared themselues to go foorth in that iournie with all spéed possible The residue that were not fit to be warriors according to that they were exhorted by their confessors bestowed line 30 liberallie of their goods to the furtherance of those that went and so few there were within the whole kingdome but that either they went or gaue somewhat to the aduancing foorth of the bishop of Norwich his voiage This bishop chose diuerse to be associat with him as capteins that were expert

to studie and knowledge So that vnto these hopes was much helping the manner of the election being made in his person sincerelie and line 10 without simonie or suspicion of other corruption The first act of this new pope was his coronation which was represented according to the vsage of his predecessors in the church of saint Iohn de Lateran The pompe was so great both of his familie and his court and also of the prelates and multitudes that were there togither with the popular and vniuersall assemblies of people that by the opinion and iudgement of men the pride and maiestie of that action did farre surpasse all the celebrations doone in Rome line 20 since the tyrannies of the Goths and sauage nations In this same solemnitie the Gonfalon of the church was caried by Alfonso de Este who hauing obteined a suspension of his censures paines was come to Rome with great hope that by the clemencie and facilitie of the pope he should be able to compound for his affaires The Gonfalon of the religion of Rhodes was borne by Iulio de Medicis mounted vpon a statelie courser armed at all points by his nature he bare an inclination to the profession of line 30 armes but by destinie he was drawen to the life ecclesiastike in which estate he maie serue as a wonderfull example of the variation of fortune One matter that made the memorie of that daie wonderfull was this consideration that the person who then in so high rare pompe was honored with the most supreme and souereigne dignitie of the world was the yéere before and on the verie same daie miserablie made prisoner The great magnificence that appéered vpon his person and his expenses confirmed in the generalitie and multitude of men line 40 the expectation that was had of him euerie one promising that Rome should be happie vnder a pope so plentifullie indued with the vertue of liberalitie whereof that daie he had giuen an honorable experience his expenses being aboue an hundred thousand duckats But wise men desired in him a greater grauitie and moderation they iudged that neither such a maiestie of pompe was conuenient for popes neither did the condition of the present time require line 50 that he should so vnprofitablie disperse the treasures that had beene gathered by his predecessour to other vses The vessell of amitie betwéene the king of Enggland the French being first broched by this popes letters the French king by an herald at armes sent to the king of England requiring of him a safe conduct for his ambassadors which should come to intreat for a peace and attonement to be concluded betwixt them and their realmes Upon grant obteined thereof the French king sent a commission with the line 60 president of Rome and others to intreat of peace and aliance betwixt both the princes And moreouer bicause they vnderstood that the mariage was broken betwéene the prince of Castile and the ladie Marie they desired that the said ladie might be ioined in mariage with the French king offering a great dowrie and suerties for the same So much was offered that the king mooued by his councell and namelie by Woolsie the bishop of Lincolne consented vpon condition that if the French king died then ●he should if it stood with hir pleasure returne into England againe with all hir dowrie and riches After that they were accorded vpon a full peace and that the French king should marrie this yoong ladie the indentures were drawen ingrossed sealed and peace therevpon proclamed the seuenth daie of August the king in presence of the French ambassadors was sworne to kéepe the same and likewise there was an ambassage sent out of England to see the French king sweare the same The dowrie that was assigned vnto the bride to be receiued after hir husbands deceasse if she suruiued him was named to be 32000 crownes of yearelie reuenues to be receiued out of certeine lands assigned foorth therefore during all hir naturall life And moreouer it was further agreed couenanted that the French king should content and paie yearelie vnto king Henrie during the space of fiue yeares the summe of one hundred thousand crownes By conclusion of this peace was the duke of Longuile with the other prisoners deliuered paieng their ransoms and the said duke affied the ladie Marie in the name of his maister king Lewes In September following the said ladie was conueied to Douer by the king hir brother the queene and on the second daie of October she was shipped and such as were appointed to giue their attendance on hir as the duke of Norffolke the marquesse Dorset the bishop of Durham the earle of Surreie the lord de la Ware the lord Berners the lord Monteagle the foure brethren of the said marques sir Maurice Berklie sir Iohn Pechie sir William Sands sir Thomas Bulleine sir Iohn Car and manie other knights esquiers gentlemen and ladies They had not sailed past a quarter of the sea but that the wind arose and seuered the ships driuing some of them to Calis some into Flanders and hir ship with great difficultie was brought to Bullen not without great ieopardie at the entering of the hauen for the maister ran the ship hard on shore But the boats were readie and receiued the ladie out of the ship and sir Christopher Garnish stood in the water and tooke hir in his armes and so caried hir to land where the duke of Uandosme and a cardinall with manie other great estates receiued hir with great honor From Bullen with easie iournies she was conueied vnto Abuile there entered the eighth of October where she was receiued by the Dolphin with great honour she was apparelled in cloth of siluer hir horsse was trapped in goldsmiths worke verie richlie After hir followed 36 ladies all their palfries trapped with crimsin veluet embrodered After them followed one

Denise day the mariage was solemnized betwixt the French king and the said ladie with all honour ioy roialtie both apparelled in goldsmiths worke Then a great banket and sumptuous feast was made where the English ladies were honorablie interteined according to the dignitie of the persons and to the contentment of them that had no dregs of malice or misliking settled in their harts For vnpossible it is that in a great multitude meeting togither though all about one matter be it of pleasure and delight there should not be one of a repugnant disposition and though not apparantlie perceiued trauelling with grudge malignant mind as we sée some apples

thereto that king Iohn had by warre first inuaded his castels and lands in Picardie and wasted the same as Buncham castell and Lien● with the countie of Guisnes which belonged to the fée of the said Lewes But these reasons notwithstanding the legat warned the French king on paine of cursing not to suffer his sonne to go into England and likewise his sonne that he should not presume to take the iournie in hand But Lewes hearing this declared that his father had nothing to do to forbid him to prosecute his right in the realme of England which was not holden of him and therefore required his father not to hinder his purpose in such things as belonged nothing to him but rather to licence him to séeke the recouerie of his wiues right which he meant to pursue with perill of life if need should require The legat perceiuing he could not preuaile in his sute made to king Philip thought that he would not spend time longer in vaine in further treating with him but sped him foorth into England obteining yet a safeconduct of the French king to passe through his realme Lewes in like maner purposing by all meanes to preuent the legat first dispatched foorth ambassadours in all hast vnto the court of Rome to excuse himselfe to the pope and to render the reasons that most speciallie mooued him to procéed forward in his enterprise against king Iohn being called by the barons of England to take the crowne thereof vpon him This doone with all conuenient speed he came downe to Calice where he found 680 ships well appointed and trimmed which Eustace surnamed the moonke had gathered and prepared there readie against his comming Lewes therefore foorthwith imbarking himselfe with his people and all necessarie prouisions for such a iournie tooke the sea and arriued at a place called Stanchorre in the I le of Tenet vpon the 21 day of Maie and shortlie after came to Sandwich there landed with all his people where he also incamped vpon the shore by the space of thrée daies In which meane time there came vnto him a great number of those lords and gentlemen which had sent for him and there euerie one apart and by himselfe sware fealtie and homage vnto him as if he had béene their true and naturall prince King Iohn about the same time that Lewes thus arriued came to Douer meaning to fight with his aduersaries by the way as they should come forward towards London But yet vpon other aduisement taken he changed his purpose bicause he put some doubt in the Flemings and other strangers of whome the most part of his armie consisted bicause he knew that they hated the French men no more than they did the English Therefore furnishing the castell of Douer with men munition and vittels he left it in the kéeping of Hubert de Burgh a man of notable prowesse valiancie and returned himselfe vnto Canturburie and from thence tooke the high waie towards Winchester Lewes being aduertised that king Iohn was retired out of Kent passed through the countrie without anie incounter and wan all the castels and holds as he went but Douer he could not win At his comming to Rochester he laid siege to the castell there and wan it causing all the strangers that were found within it to be hanged This doone he came to London and there receiued the homage of those lords and gentlemen which had not yet doone their homage to him at Sandwich On the other part he tooke an oth to mainteine and performe the old lawes and customes of the realme and to restore to euerie man his rightfull heritage and lands requiring the barons furthermore to continue faithfull towards him assuring them to bring things so to passe that the realme of England should recouer the former dignitie and they their ancient liberties Moreouer he vsed them so courteouslie gaue them so faire words and made such large promises that they beléeued him with all their harts But alas Cur vincit opinio verum The rumour of this pretended outward courtesie being once ●ored through the realme caused great numbers of people to come flocking to him among whome were diuerse of those which before had taken part with king Iohn as William earle Warren William earle of Arundell William earle of Salisburie William Marshall the yoonger and diuerse other supposing verelie that the French kings sonne should now obteine the king dome who in the meane time ordeined Simon Langton afore mentioned to be his chancellour by whose preaching and exhortation as well the citizens of London as the barons that were excommunicated caused diuine seruice to be celebrated in their presence induced thereto bicause line 10 Lewes had alreadie sent his procurators to Rome before his comming into England there to shew the goodnesse of his cause and quarell But this auailed them not neither tooke his excuse any such effect as he did hope it should for those ambassadors that king Iohn had sent thither replied against their assertions so that there was hard hold about it in that court albeit that the pope would decrée nothing till he hard further from his legat Gualo who the same time being aduertised of the procéedings of Lewes in his iournie with all diligence hasted ouer into England and passing through the middle of his aduersaries came vnto king Iohn then soiourning at Glocester of whome he was most ioifullie receiued for in him king Iohn reposed all his hope of victorie This legat immediatlie after his comming did excommunicate Lewes by name with all his fautors and complices but speciallie Simon de Langton with bell booke and candle as the maner was Howbeit the same Simon and one line 30 Geruase de Hobrug deane of S. Pauls in London with other alledged that for the right and state of the cause of Lewes they had alreadie appealed to the court of Rome and therefore the sentence published by Gualo they tooke as void At the same time also all the knights and men of warre of Flanders and other parts beyond the seas which had serued the king departed from him the Poictouins onelie excepted and part of them that thus went from him resorted vnto Lewes and entred line 40 into his wages but the residue repaired home into their owne countries so that Lewes being thus increased in power departed from London and marching towards Winchester he wan the castels of Rigat Gilford and Farnham From thence he went to Winchester where the citie was yéelded vnto him with all the castels and holds thereabout as Woluesey Odiham and Beaumere ¶ Whilest the said Lewes was thus occupied in Sussex about the subduing of that countrie vnto his line 50 obeisance there was a yoong gentleman in those parts named William de Collingham being of a valorous mind and loathing forren subiection who would in no wise doo fealtie to Lewes but assembling togither about the number
