other places of the kingdome of Spaine came in and did homage vnto king Peter promising him to be true to him euer after for they saw that resistance would not auaile so long as the prince should be in the countrie After this the prince was in hand with king Peter for the souldiers wages by whose aid he was thus restored into his former estate King Peter went vnto Siuill to make shift for monie accordinglie promising to returne againe within a few weekes and to sée euerie man paid according as he had couenanted For when he was driuen out of his realme and came to Burdeaux to craue aid of the prince he promised that so soone as he should be restored to his kingdome he would see the souldiers contented of their wages and bound himselfe thereto both by his oth and writing giuen vnder his seale But when he obteined his purpose he forgat all fréendlie dutie and was so farre from performing his promise that he cloaked his ill meaning with a feigned tale and sent the prince a message spiced with hypocrisie and vnthankfulnesse two foule faults in a priuat man much more odious in a prince and great state as the poet wiselie and truelie saith in this distichon Omne animi vitium tantò conspectius in se Crimen habet quantò maior qui peccat habetur The prince tarried for the returne of king Peter both weekes and moneths but could not heare anie tidings of him He therefore sent vnto him to vnderstand the cause of the staie his answer was that he had prouided monie and sent it by certeine of his men toward the prince but the companions that serued vnder the prince had met with it by the way and taken it from them that had the conueiance of it he therefore required the prince to rid the realme of those snaphances and to leaue behind him some of his officers to whome in name of him he would make paiment of such monie as was due This answer pleased not the prince but there was no remedie for other at that present he could not haue for anie likeliehood he saw and therefore taking order with king Peter how the paiment should be made he prepared to returne into Gascoigne The order therefore taken betwixt them was this Within foure moneths next insuing king Peter should paie the one halfe of the wages due to the soldiers for this iournie vnto such as the prince should leaue behind him to receiue the same and the other halfe within one yeare The prince was compelled to breake his plate and to make monie thereof to paie his soldiers namelie the companions which he had called foorth of France so that he left himselfe bare of all riches to line 10 kéepe touch with them although king Dampeter failed in his promise each waie foorth For where the prince should haue had in recompense towards his charges the countie of Algezara and other lands by the said Dampeters assignement so that he sent one of his knights to take seizine of the same lands he was neuertheles disappointed for he could not come by any peaceable possession of those lands and so returned greatlie impouerished hauing spent in this iournie all that he could make In the meane time line 20 the bastard Henrie hauing escaped out of the field by flight got him into France and there through fauor of the duke of Aniou so purchased for himselfe that he got togither a certeine number of Britains and other soldiers comming to the frontiers of the princes land in Gascoigne got a towne in Bigore called Bannieres and made war vpon the princes subiects The prince obteining passage for himselfe and his men of the kings of Aragon and Nauarre returned line 30 to Burdeaux and then did the bastard Henrie forsake his garrison at Bannieres and went into Arragon and there got the king of Arragons assistance finallie in the yeare 1369 returning into Spaine recouered the kingdome and slue his brother king Peter as in the historie of Spaine it may appeare which for that it apperteineth not to this historie of England I doo here passe ouer This yeare in the moneth of March appeared a blasing starre betwixt the north and west whose beames stretched towards line 40 France as was then marked threatning as might be thought that within a small time after it should againe be wrapped and set on fire with new troubles of warre and euen then that countrie was not in quiet but harried in diuerse parts by such soldiers as had béene with the prince in Spaine were now out of wages The leaders of which people were for the more part Englishmen and Gascoignes as sir Robert Briquet sir Iohn Tresmelle Robert Cenie sir Gaollard Uigier the bourge of Bertueill the line 50 bourge Camois of Cominges as Denise Sauage thinketh the bourge of Lespare Nandon or Nawdon of Bargerant Bernard de la Salle Ortigo Lamut and manie other In this 42 yeare of king Edwards reigne his second son the lord Lionell duke of Clarence and earle of Ulster passed the sea with a noble companie of lords knights and gentlemen and went thorough France into Lombardie there to marrie the ladie line 60 Uiolant daughter to the duke of Millane He was honorablie receiued in all places where he came and speciallie at Paris by the dukes of Berrie and Burgognie the lord Coucie and other the which brought him to the court where he dined and supped with the king and lodged within the palace On the next day he was had to a place where the quéene lodged and dined with hir and after was conueied to the court againe and supped that night with the king and on the morrow following he tooke his leaue of the king and quéene the which gaue to him great gifts and likewise to the noble men of England that came ouer with him to the value of twentie thousand florens and aboue he was conueied from place to place with certeine of the French nobilitie till he came to the borders of the realme and then entring into Sauoy he came to Chamberie where the earle of Sauoy was readie to receiue him and there he remained foure daies being highlie feasted amongst the ladies and damosels and then he departed and the earle of Sauoy brought him to Milla●e to doo him the more honor for his sister was mother to the bride which the duke should marrie To speake of the honorable receiuing of him into the citie of Millane and of the great feast triumph and banketting and what an assemblie there was in Millane of high states at the solemnizing of the mariage betwixt him and the said ladie Uiolant it were too long a processe to remember The gifts that the father of the bride the lord Galeas gaue vnto such honorable personages as were there present amounted in value to an inestimable summe ¶ The writers of the Millane histories affirme

And to the performance of this our petition we haue to this present writing set our seales When all things were throughlie concluded and order taken in what sort the assurances of this accord should passe the king of Scots returned into the inner parts of his realme and the king of England likewise returned to London At the same time also the Welshmen were verie busie for hearing that the kings of England and Scotland were agreed they doubted least all the burthen of the warre would be turned against them Wherefore as it were to preuent the matter they began to wast the English confines The king aduertised thereof sent Hubert Fitz Matthew with thrée hundreth knights or men of armes to defend the English marshes against the Welshmen that made dailie war against those that dwelled on the marshes and namelie against the erle of Herford which chéeflie occasioned this warre by deteining the land which apperteined vnto the wife of prince Dauid as in the right of hir purpartie Wherevpon when the Welshmen vnderstood that the king had broken vp his armie and was returned to London they inuaded their enimies namelie the said earle of Herfords men and the Mortimers sleaing and cutting in péeces two valiant and noble line 10 knights and maiming the third they slue and ouerthrew of the footbands about an hundred so that all the English armie was disordered and the Welshmen with victorie returned to their places of refuge Which when the foresaid Hubert Fitz Matthew vnderstood the morrow after he made foorth with his thrée hundred waged men of armes in hope to hem in and take the Welshmen at aduantage but he was preuented and by them distressed in so much that he was constreined with losse of men and horsses to line 20 returne to his holds and scarse could be suffered to remaine there in safetie This yeare Rafe Neuill bishop of Cicester and chancellour of England departed this life In the 29 yeare of his reigne king Henrie hauing spent much treasure with the great preparation of wars which he had taken in hand against the Scots and also bicause he was constreined to be at further charges for the Welsh wars he called a parlement to begin on the third daie of Nouember in the which line 30 he demanded a great reliefe of monie but the same being generallie denied of all men he exacted it in particular of the richer sort of his subiects amongst other he caused the citizens of London to giue vnto him 15 hundred marks for a fine bicause they had receiued a banished man one Walter Bukerell into their citie contrarie to the law and order but this they denied affirming that his brother had got his pardon as by the kings owne letters patents they could prooue but they were answered that the king line 40 was vnder age when these letters were purchased and therefore were of none effect About the same time sir Nicholas de Molis or Mules seneshall of Gascoigne hauing warres against the king of Nauarre got the victorie in battell ¶ About the midst of Nouember great thunder and lightning chanced with a maruellous vntemperat

for felonies should incontinentlie be buried which ordinance hath béene euer since obserued The earle of Kent and the archbishop of Dubline going ouer into France could not light vpon anie good conclusion for the matter about the which they were sent bicause the same time or rather somewhat before the lord Rase Basset of Draiton being the kings seneshall in Guien had ouerthrowne a certeine towne newlie fortified by the Frenchmen on the frontiers for that the inhabitants trusting on the French kings fauour and maintenance refused to obeie the lawes and ordinances of the countrie of Aquitaine and séemed to despise and set at naught the authoritie of the said lord Basset in that countrie contrarie to all right good order or reason Neuerthelesse the French king tooke the matter so greeuouslie that except the lord Basset might be constreined to come vnto Paris and there make answer to his offense he would not hearken to anie other satisfaction And therevpon when the ambassadours were returned he sent his vncle the lord Charles de Ualois earle of Anio● with a mightie armie against the English subiects into Guien where entring into Agenois he tooke and seized all that countrie into the French kings hands The earle of Kent being now gotten into those parts with a great number of other capteins and men of warre sent thither by the king of England resisted the enimies verie manfullie in so much that vpon their approch to the Rioll a strong towne in those parts the earle of Kent as then being within it did issue foorth and giuing them battell slue as some write fouretéene hundred of their men so that they were glad to lodge at the first somewhat further off the towne Whilest this siege remained before the towne of the Rioll the king of England wrote his letters to the duke of Britaine as one of the péeres of France declaring the iniurious dealing of the French king who had sent his vncle the earle of Aniou with an armie against his people in Agenois where he had taken manie townes destroied his people and now had besieged his nephue Edmund earle of Kent within the towne of the Rioll inforsing his whole puissance wrongfullie to bereaue him of all the duchie of Guien and against all reason and the prerogatiue of the peeres of France to an euill president or example in time to come of the perpetuall seruitude of the said péeres And although saith the king of England that the French alledge that we haue béen lawfullie summoned to come and doo homage and haue refused so to doo that is not so for we were neuer in due order required as was conuenient neither could we doo homage by reason of the great iniuries and hard dealings practised against vs from the feast of Easter last till the date of those his present letters which was the sixt of October in this eighteenth yeare of his reigne and yet saith he there was neuer anie lawfull processe had against vs before our péeres in the great chamber at Paris as had béene requisite Herevpon he requested the duke of Britaine that for the preseruation and maintenance of the honorable estate of the péeres of France for iustice sake he would helpe to aid him either by waie of request or other conuenient meanes so as the said streict dealings and iniurious wrongs may ceasse and the estate of the péereship may be mainteined as was requisite He wrote likewise to the lord Iohn the infant the lord of Biskie and to the ladie Marie of Biskie gouernesse of the king of Castile and Leon and to Iames king of Aragon requesting them to aid him with men of warre as well horssemen as footmen against his aduersarie the French king that most vniustlie went about to depriue him of his inheritance But howsoeuer the matter went no aid came to the earle of Kent from any part till at length the Frenchmen so reinforced the siege that the towne was deliuered to the earle of Aniou and a truce taken vpon certeine conditions that further talke might be had for the conclusion of some peace Then were sent ouer other ambassadors as the lord Iohn de Sullie a Frenchman borne and one maister Iohn de Shordich but the lord Sullie had so strange interteinment for some displeasure which the French king conceiued against him that if the French quéene had not the beter intreated for him he had lost his head and as for the other he had also returned home without bringing any thing to passe of that for the which he was sent After this the pope line 10 sent the archbishop of Uienna and the bishop of Orange to the princes of either realme to exhort them to some agréement but they could doo no good and so taking monie of the cleargie for their expenses they returned After this about the twentith daie after Christmasse year 1325 there was a parlement called at London in the which the king required to haue the aduise of the lords how he might worke for sauing of the duchie of Guien sore molested by the French Hervpon line 20 it was concluded that the bishops of Winchester and Norwich and Iohn de Britaine earle of Richmond should go ouer as ambassadors to the French king who comming into France after manie argumentations allegations and excuses made on both parts at length receiued a certeine forme of pacification at the French kings hands with the which the bishop of Winchester was sent backe to England the bishop of Norwich and the earle of Richmond remaining there till it might be knowen how the king line 30 of England would like thereof Finallie it was thought good that the queene shuld go ouer to hir brother the French king to confirme that treatie of peace vpon some reasonable conditions She willinglie tooke vpon hir the charge and so with the lord Iohn Crumwell other foure knights without any other great traine taking sea she landed in France where of the king hir brother she was ioifullie receiued and finallie she being the mediatrix it was finallie accorded that the K. of England should giue to his eldest sonne the duchie of Aquitaine and line 40 the countie of Pontieu and that the French king receiuing homage of him for the same he should restore into his hands the said countie and the lands in Guien for the which they were at variance and for those countries which had beene forraied and spoiled the earle of Aniou should fullie see him satisfied as right did require Upon the couenants the French king wrote his letters patents into England and other letters also of safe conduct as well for the sonne as for the king line 50 himselfe if it should please him to come ouer himselfe in person Upon which choise great deliberation was had as well at Langdon as at Douer diuerse thinking it best that the king should go ouer himselfe but the earle of Winchester and his

betwixt England and France was set at libertie paieng for his ransome the summe of one hundred thousand marks as Fourdon saith but whether he meaneth Scotish or sterling monie I cannot saie He also was bound by couenant now vpon his deliuerance to cause the castels in Nidesdale to be raised which were knowne to be euill neighbors to the English borderers as Dunfrise Dalswinton Morton Dunsd●re and nine other His wife quéene Ione made such earnest sute to hir brother king Edward for hir husbands deliuerance that king Edward was contented to release him vpon the paiment of so small a portion of monie and performance of the couenants for the raising of those castels although Froissard saith that he was couenanted to paie for his deliuerance within the tearme of ten yeares fiue hundred thousand nobles and for suertie of that paiment to send into England sufficient hostages as the earles of Dowglas Murrey Mar Sutherland and Fiffe the baron of Uescie and sir William Camoise Also he couenanted neuer to weare armour against king Edward within his realme of England nor to consent that his subiects should so doo and further should vpon his returne home doo the best he could to cause the Scots to agree that their countrie should hold of him in fée and that he and his successours kings of Scotland should doo homage to the king of England and his successors for the realme of Scotland In this two and thirtith yeare as witnesseth the French chronicles sir Robert Knolles Iames Pipe and one Thomlin Foulke with other capiteins and men of warre as souldiours to the king of Nauarre vpon the tenth day of March earlie in the morning scaled the walles of the citie of Auxerre and behaued them so manfullie that they were maisters of the towne before the sunne was vp They got exceeding much by the spoile of that citie and by ransoming the prisoners which they tooke there At length after they had remained eight daies in that citie and taken their pleasures of all things within it they wrought so with the citizens that to haue possession of their citie againe and to haue it saued from fire they agréed to giue to sir Robert Knolles and to his companie fiftie thousand motons of gold which amounted to the summe of twelue thousand and fiue hundred pounds sterling or there about and yet was it agreed that the Englishmen should burne the gates and throw downe the walles in diuers places In Aprill next insuing the towne of Daubignie sir le Metre was likewise woone by the Englishmen and the second daie of Maie Chastelon sir Loigne was taken by the said sir Robert Knolles and put to sacke as the other were From thence they went to Newcastell vpon Loire Thus did the Englishmen and other in title of the K. of Nauarre greatlie indamage the realme of France dailie winning townes and castels ransoming the people and wasting the countries in most miserable wise as in the historie of France you may read more at large In this meane while there was talke of peace betwixt the king of England and the king of France and articles thereof drawne in this forme that the whole countries of Gascoine Guien Poictou Touraine Xainctonge Piergourd Quercie Limosin Angolisinois Calis Guines Bullogne and Ponthieu should remaine to the king of England wholie without dooing homage or paieng anie reléefe for the same but on the other part he should renounce all his right which he might by anie manner of meane claime to the countries of Normandie Aniou or Maine And further that the French king should paie a certeine summe of monie for his ransome and deliuer sufficient pledges for the same and so depart into France These articles were sent ouer into France that the thrée states there might confirme them which they refused to doo Wherevpon when the truce ended the warres were againe reuiued ¶ The king held this yéere the feast of S. George at Windsor in more sumptuous manner than euer it had béene kept before In the same yeare also frier Iohn Lisle bishop of Elie being as he tooke it somewhat wronged by the ladie Blanch de Wake and other that were of hir counsell when the last yeare against the kings will vnto the popes court where exhibiting his complaint he caused the pope to excommunicate all his aduersaries sending to the bishop of Lincolne and other of the cleargie that if they knew any of them so excommunicated to be dead and buried they should draw them out of their graues which was doone And bicause some of those that were excommunicated line 10 were of the kings councell the king tooke such displeasure therewith that he gréeuouslie disquieted the prelats Wherevpon there were sent from the court of Rome on the behalfe of the bishop of Elie certeine persons which being armed met the bishop of Rochester lord treasuror deliuering to him letters from the pope the contents of the which were not knowen and foorthwith they shranke awaie but the kings seruants made such pursute after them that some of them they tooke and bringing them before the line 20 kings iustices vpon their arreignement they were condemned and suffered death on the gallowes Great discord rose also about this time or rather afore betwixt the cleargie and the foure orders of friers as in the booke of acts monuments set foorth by master Iohn Fox ye may read more at large In this yeare Iohn of Gant earle of Richmond sonne to the king the ninetéenth day of Maie married the ladie Blanch daughter to Henrie duke of Lancaster at Reading and bicause they were cousins within line 30 the degrées of consanguinitie forbidden by the church lawes to marrie a dispensation was procured of the pope to remoue that obstacle and let In this yeare the king set workemen in hand to take downe much old bildings belonging to the castell of Windsore and caused diuerse other faire and sumptuous works to be erected and set vp in and about the same castell so that almost all the masons and carpenters that were of any accompt within this land were sent for and imploied about the same works the ouerseer line 40 whereof was William Wickham the kings chapl●in by whose aduise the king tooke in hand to repare that place the rather in déed bicause he was borne there and therefore he tooke great pleasure to bestow cost in beautifieng it with such buildings as may appeare euen vnto this daie Moreouer this yeare in the Rogation wéeke was solemne iusts enterprised at London for the maior and his foure and twentie brethren as challengers did appoint to answer all commers in whose name and stéed the king with his line 50 foure sonnes Edward Lionell Iohn and Edmund and ninetéene other great lords in secret manner came and held the field with honor to the great pleasure of the citizens that beheld the same ¶ Ye

in London for merchants of that nation and had plaied bankerupt and was conueied out of the realme for debt was now in such fauour with pope Iulie that he made him his collector and proctor in England so he kept a great port and resorted to the king and his councell for the popes affaires which then was sore troubled by the French king so that he knew both the popes councell and the kings and falselie and vntrulie resorted by night to the French ambassadours lieng in London and to them discouered what the king and the pope intended which was not so closelie doone but the king knew it and so he was laid for was taken communing with one of the said ambassadours vpon London wall at midnight and brought to the Tower where he remained vntill by the sute of his freends he was deliuered and shortlie for shame voided the realme The king of Aragon also hauing at that time warre with the French king wrote to his sonne in law king Henrie that if he would send ouer an armie into Biskaie and so to inuade France on that side for the recouerie first of his duchie of Guien he would aid them with ordinance horssemen beasts and cariages with other necessaries apperteining to the fame The king and his councell putting their affiance in this promise of king Ferdinando prepared a noble armie all of footmen and small artillerie appointing the noble lord Thomas Greie marquesse Dorset to be chéefe conductor of the same The king dailie studieng to set foorth his warre which he had begun against the French king caused sir Edward Howard his admerall with diligence to make readie diuerse goodlie tall ships as the Souereigne and others to the number of eighteene beside other smaller vessels Therewith hauing in his companie sir Weston Browne Griffith Downe Edward Cobham Thomas Windham Thomas Lucie William Pirton Henrie Shirbourne Stephan Bull George Wi●wange Iohn Hopton William Gunston Thomas Draper Edmund Cooke Iohn Burdet and diuerse others he tooke the sea and scowring the same about the middest of Maie he came before Portesmouth About the verie selfe time the lord marquesse Dorset and other noblemen appointed for the iournie of Biskaie as the lord Howard sonne and heire to the earle of Surrie the lord Brooke the lord Will●ugh●le the lord Ferrers the lord Iohn the lord Anthonie and the lord Leonard Greies all thrée brethren to the marquesse sir Griffith ap Ri●e sir Morris Berkeleie sir William Sands the baron of Burford sir Richard Cornewall brother to the said baron William Husseie Iohn Melton William Kingston esquiers sir Henrie Willoughbie and diuerse others with souldiers to the number of ten thousand Amongst these were fiue hundred Almans clad all in white vnder the leading of one Guiot a gentleman of Flanders all which with the residue abouenamed came to Southampton and there mustered their bands which were appointed and trimmed in the line 10 best maner On the sixtéenth daie of Maie they were all bestowed aboord in Spanish ships furnished with vittels and other necessaries for that iournie The wind serued so well for their purpose that they ca●ie all in safetie on the coast of Biskaie at the port of Passagh southwest of Fonterabie and so the third daie of Iune they landed and tooke the field imbattelling themselues for their safegard right stronglie Within thrée daies after that the armie was line 20 thus aland there came to the marquesse an earle and an other noble man to welcome him and his companie Then the lord capteine remooued his field tooke an other place néerer to Fonterabie where he laie a long time looking euerie daie to haue aid of horssemen and artillerie of the king of Aragon but none came Sir Iohn Stile caused to be bought two hundred mulets and asses of such price as the Spaniards gained greatlie and when they were put to carie and line 30 draw they would not serue the turne for they were not exercised thereto before that time and so for want of beasts to draw such ordinance as the Englishmen had there with them they lost the dooing of some great exploit against the Frenchmen on the frontiers of Gascoigne for they might haue run a great waie into that countrie being as then destitute and vnpurueied of men and munitions On a daie the Frenchmen made a skrie toward the English campe but the Englishmen perceiuing them passed the riuer that was betwixt them and line 40 with arrowes chased the Frenchmen so that for hast manie of their horsses foundered and fell yer they came to Baion if there had béene anie horssemen amongst the Englishmen they had sore indamaged their enimies The king of Nauarre doubting least the Englishmen were come into those parties for no good meaning towards him sent to the lord marquesse a bishop and diuerse other offering to minister vittels vnto the Englishmen for their monie if line 50 it should stand so with his pleasure The lord marquesse thanked him for the offer and promised that if they of Nauarre would vittell his people they should paie them well and trulie for the same He said also that he would warrant their passing and repassing in safetie and that by the Englishmen no preiudice should be doone to his realme Herevpon were the Englishmen vittelled out of Nauarre to their great comfort After that the armie had laine thirtie daies in the second campe there came from the king of Aragon a bishop and other nobles of his line 60 councell This bishop was the same that made the answer to the lord Darcie at Calis the last yeare The effect of his message was to desire the lord capteine and his people to take patience for a while and they should see that such preparation should be made for the furnishing of their enterprise as should stand with the honour of his maister and their aduancements The Englishmen sore discontented with their idle lieng still in the field misliked with his excuses supposing the same as they prooued in déed to be nothing but delaies In the meane time that the Englishmen thus lingered without attempting any exploit their vittels were much part garlike they eating thereof with all their meats and drinking hot wines féeding also on hot fruits procured their bloud to boile within their bellies that there fell sicke thrée thousand of the flix thereof died an eightéene hundred persons The lord marquesse perceiuing this mischeefe sent to the king of Spaine certeine of his capteins to know his pleasure The king told them that shortlie the duke of Alua should ioine with them bringing with him a mightie power so that they might the more assuredlie procéed in their enterprise With this answer they returned to the lord marquesse who liked it neuer a deale bicause he iudged that the king meant but to driue time with him as after it prooued In the meane time there began a mutinie

reuenged of those that had giuen the information against him he strengthened himselfe with the aid of the king of Nauarre and of the earle of Bigorre and other so that he oppressed his aduersaries on

seeme that he was throughlie reuenged of them euen to their no small smart not in word and threatning but with sword and bloud-shedding defending his innocencie and manfullie shewing his warlike mind But yet he had purchased to himselfe a greater portion of praise if he had not with weapon but with wisedome made a conquest of the enimie according to this sound counsell of a sage writer Ingenio studeas magè quàm superare furore Ingenio vires cedunt prudentia victrix Cuncta domat On the thirtéenth day of March the new moone was séene whereas the prime change by naturall course should not haue beene till the sixtéenth day following and for the space of fiftéene daies that then next insued the sunne the moone and starres appeared of a red colour And herewith the whole face of the earth séemed as it had béene shadowed with a thicke mist or smoke the wind notwithstanding remaining north and northeast Then began a sore drought continuing a long time the which togither with morning frosts and northerlie winds destroied the fruits and other growing things which were blasted in such wise that although at the first it was a verie forward yeare and great plentie towards of corne and fruit yet by the means aforesaid the same was greatlie hindered and speciallie in the summer season when the sunnes heat increased and the drought still continued The residue of such fruits as then remained withered awaie so that scarse a tenth part was left and yet there was indifferent store For if the abundance which the blossomes promised had come forward the trées had not béene able to haue borne the same The grasse was so burned vp in pastures and medowes that if a man tooke vp some of it in his hands and rubbed the same neuer so little it streight fell to poulder and so cattell were readie to starue for lacke of meat And bicause of the excéeding hot nights there was such abundance of fleas flies and gnats that people were vexed and brought in case to be wearie of their liues And herewith chanced manie diseases as sweats agues and other In the haruest time fell there a great death and murren amongst cattell and speciallie in Northfolke in the fens and other parts of the south This infection was such that dogs and rauens feeding on the dead carrens swelled streightwaies and died so that the people durst eat no beefe least the flesh happilie might be infected Also this was noted not without great woonder that yoong heifers and bullockes followed the milch-kine as it had beene calues sucked the same kine Also appletrées and pearetrées now after the time of yeelding their ripe fruit began againe to blossome as if it had beene in Aprill The cause of the death of cattell was thought to come hereof After so great a drought which had continued by all the space of the moneths of Aprill Maie Iune and Iulie when there folowed good plentie of raine the earth began to yeeld hir increase most plentiouslie of all growing things though not so wholesome nor of such kindlie substance as in due time and season she is accustomed to bring foorth and so the cattell which before were hungerstarued fed now so greedilie of this new grasse sproong vp in vndue season that they were suddenlie puffed vp with flesh and such vnnaturall humors line 10 as bred infections amongst them whereof they died The bishop of Lincolne would haue inforced all the beneficed men within his diocesse to be preests but they purchased a licence from Rome to remaine at the Uniuersities for certeine yeares without taking the order of préesthood vpon them ¶ The king meaning to go as he pretended into the holie land had grant of the pope to leuie a tenth of his subiects both spirituall and temporall The Gascoignes sore line 20 repining at the earle of Leicester his streict gouernance who handled them more roughlie than they had béene accustomed sent the archbishop of Burdeaux ouer into England to exhibit a complaint against him in all their names The earle of Leicester aduertised thereof followed him and comming to the court found the archbishop readie to aduouch the information which he had made against the said earle cheefelie in that he had sought the destruction of those to whom the earle of Cornewall when he was line 30 ruler there had granted life and peace and whom sir Henrie Trubleuile and Waleran the Dutchman late stewards of Gascoigne vnder the king had cherished and mainteined With manie other things the archbishop charged him the which the earle wittilie refelled and disprooued so as he was allowed in his iustification by those that stood by as the earle of Cornewall and others The bishop of Lincolne got authoritie of the pope to institute vicarages in churches impropriat to religious line 40 men where no vicars were and where such were as séemed too slenderlie prouided of sufficient allowance to augment the same as he thought expedient which his authoritie he vsed more largelie than stood with the pleasure of religious persons bicause

The earle of Leicester was eftsoones sent into Gascoigne by the king who had not cared if he had fallen into his enimies hands as should appeare But the earle hired souldiers in France and comming into Gascoigne preuailed against his enimies though in one conflict he was in danger of loosing both life and the honour of the field But yet through his good hap Gods fauour

it began as it had béene a great way off but after it burst out with such terrible crackes as was woonderfull But one amongst the rest excéeded and withall such lightening flashed foorth as put men in great feare and terror The chimnie of the chamber wherein the quéene and hir children then were was beaten downe to dust and the whole building sore shaken This was at Windsore where in the parke okes were rent in sunder and turned vp by the roots and much hurt doone as milles with the millers in them shéepfolds with their shepheards and plowmen and such as were going by the way were destroied and beaten downe About the same time the sea on the coasts of England arose with higher tides than the naturall course gaue by the space of six féet About Michaelmasse quéene Dowager of Scotland that was daughter to Monsieur de Cousie a Frenchman came through England to returne into France where she was borne and was of the king honorablie receiued and welcomed This yeare the nunrie of Marran not far from Lin was founded by the ladie Isabell countesse of Arundell ¶ Also this yeare the lord William de Cantlow departed this life in whose heritage his son also named William succeeded ¶ Moreouer Iohn Cobham Geffrey Spenser that was a man of great fame and one of the kings councell departed this life Cobham before Easter and Spenser shortlie after the same feast Also in the octaues of Pentecost Paule Peiuer or Peure departed this life he was one of the kings cheefe councellors and lord steward of his house This man at the first was not borne to anie great possessions but by purchase atteined to great reuenues The ladie Ione his wife compounded with the king for the marriage of hir son named Paule after his father but the lord Iohn Grai● paied the monie being fiue hundred marks and so discharging hir of that debt maried hir sonne to one of his daughters at his manor of Eiton and afterwards at London married the mother of his sonne in law wherewith the king was sore displeased for he had giuen the marriage of hir vnto a stranger one Stephan de Salines so that the lord Graie was glad to giue to the king the summe of fiftie marks by way of a fine to haue his good will In the six and thirtith yéere of king Henries reigne the church of Hales was dedicated of the foundation of Richard earle of Cornewall At which dedication he kept a solemne feast on the euen of saint Leonard being Sunday There was present the king and the queene and almost all the Nobilitie of England both spirituall and temporall The building of that church all charges accounted stood the earle in ten thousand marks as he himselfe confessed vnto Matthew Paris ¶ About the same time the earle of Leicester and Guie de Lusignan the kings halfe brother came into England out of France and landed at Douer whome the king receiued with great ioy and gladnesse He gaue to his brother at his returne great rewards as he was euer accustomed In the feast of the Conception of our ladie at a iustes holden line 10 at Rochester the strangers were put to the worse and well beaten by the English batchlers and men of armes so that the dishonour which they did to the Englishmen at Brakley was now recompensed with interest For the strangers fleeing to the citie for succour were met by the way by the English knights seruants and yeomen which fell vpon them beat them sore with clubs and staues and handled them verie euill Hereof sprang a great hatred betwixt the Englishmen and strangers which dailie line 20 grew and increased more and more the rather bicause the king had them in so good estimation and reteined so manie of them within the realme The king did celebrate the feast of Christmasse at Yorke year 1252 whither came Alexander the yoong king of Scots and was there made knight by the king of England and on saint Stephans day he married the ladie Margaret daughter to the king of England according to the assurance before time concluded There was a great assemblie of noble personages at line 30 that feast The quéene Dowager of Scotland mother to king Alexander a French woman of the house of Coucie had passed the sea was present there with a faire companie of lords and gentlemen The number of knights that were come thither on the king of Englands part were reckoned to be at the point of one thousand The king of Scots had with him thrée score knights and a great sort of other gentlemen comparable to knights The king of Scots did homage to the king of England at that time for the line 40 realme of Scotland and all things were doone with great loue and fauour although at the beginning some strife was kindled about taking vp of lodgings This assemblie of the princes cost the archbishop verie déerelie in feasting and banketting them and their traines At one dinner it was reported he spent at the first course thréescore fat oxen ¶ At request of the K. of Scots the K. of England receiued Philip Lunell againe into fauour or rather Louell as I line 50 take it one of his councell against whome he had conceiued displeasure in the yeare last past for such briberie as he was thoght to be giltie of for shewing fauour to the Iewes The king of Scots when he should depart tooke his leaue in most courteous maner and led with him his new married wife on whome attended sir Robert Norice knight marshall of the kings house and sir Stephan Bausan and also the ladie Mawd the widowe of the lord William line 60 Cantlow with others On the octaues of the Epiphanie chanced an excéeding great wind which did much hurt in diuerse places of the realme The bishop of Rochester returning frō the court of Rome brought with him a bull authorising him to receiue to his own vse the fift part of the reuenues of all the beneficed men within his diocesse In this meane while the earle of Leicester remaining in England the Gascoignes made sore warre against such as he had left behind him and withall gaue information to the king that the earle of Leicester was a traitor and one that had spoiled the kings subiects and furthermore by his vniust dealings had giuen to the Gascoignes cause of rebellion The king to boult out the truth of this matter sent first his chapleine Henrie Wingham and afterwards sir Nicholas de Moles de Ualence as commissioners to inquire of the earles dooing who went and returned without finding any manifest crime in the earles demeanor The earle was much offended that his innocencie should be thus suspected but at length being appointed to returne into Gascoigne he obeied and hauing a great summe of monie he reteined a power of men of warre as well Frenchmen as others and meaning to be
