hurt and troubled them sore with their crosbowes but on the other side the English archers shot so wholie togither that the Frenchmen were faine to giue place to the Englishmen so that they got the passage and came ouer assembling themselues in the field and then the Frenchmen fled some to Abuile some to saint Riquier line 30 They that were on foot could not escape so well as those on horssebacke insomuch that a great number of them of Abuile Mutterell Arras and S. Riquier were slaine and taken for the chase indured more than a great league There were slaine in all to the number of two thousand When the K. of England had thus passed the riuer he acquitted Gobin Agace and all his companie of their ransomes and gaue to the same Gobin an hundred nobles and a good horsse and so the king road foorth as he did before line 40 His marshals road to Crotaie by the sea side and burnt the towne and tooke all such wines and goods as were in the ships and barks which laie there in the hauen One of the marshals road to the gates of Abuile and from thence to S. Riquier and after to the towne of Rue saint Esperit This was on a fridaie and both the marshals returned to the kings host about noone and so lodged all togither about Cressie in Pontiew where hauing knowledge that the French line 50 king followed to giue him battell he commanded his marshals to choose a plot of ground somewhat to his aduantage that he might there abide his aduersaries In the meane time the French king being come with all his puissance vnto Abuile and hearing how the king of England was passed ouer the riuer of Some and discomfited sir Godmare du Foy was sore displeased in his mind but when he vnderstood that his enimies were lodged at Cressie and meant there to abide him he caused all his people to issue line 60 out of Abuile and earlie on the saturdaie in the morning anon after sunne rising he departed out of the towne himselfe and marched towards his enimies The king of England vnderstanding that his aduersarie king Philip still followed him to giue him battell supposing that the same saturdaie he would come to offer it rose betimes in the morning and commanded euerie man first to call vpon God for his aid then to be armed and to draw with speed into the field that in the place before appointed they might be set in order of battell Beginning his enterprise at inuocation or calling vpon God he was the more fortunate in his affaires and sped the better in the progresse of his actions as the issue of the warre shewed A notable example to euerie priuat man to remember to call vpon God when he purposeth anie thing for as the poet saith and that verie christianlie nihil est mortalibus aegris Vtilius quàm coelestem sanctéque piéque Orando sibi quaerere opem Beside this he caused a parke to be made and closed by the wood side behind his host in the which he ordeined that all the carts and carriages should be set with all the horsses for euerie man was on foot Then he ordeined thrée battels in the first was the prince of Wales and with him the earle of Warwike the lord Godfrey of Harecourt the lord Stafford the lord de la Ware the lord Bourchier the lord Thomas Clifford the lord Reginald Cobham the lord Thomas Holland sir Iohn Chandos sir Bartholomew de Browash sir Robert Neuill They were eight hundred men of armes and two thousand archers and a thousand of other with the Welsh men In the second battell was the earle of Northhampton the earle of Arundell the lords Ros and Willowbie Basset S. Albine Multon and others The third battell the king led himselfe hauing with him seauen hundred men of armes and two thousand archers and in the other battell were to the number of eight hundred men of armes and twelue hundred archers Thus was the English armie marshalled according to the report of Froissard When euerie man was gotten into order of battell the king leapt vpon a white hobbie and rode from ranke to ranke to view them the one marshall on his right hand and the other on his left desiring euerie man that daie to haue regard to his right and honour He spake it so courteouslie and with so good a countenance that euen they which before were discomforted tooke courage in hearing him speake such swéet and louing words amongst them It was nine of the clocke yer euer he had thus visited all his battels therevpon he caused euerie man to eat and drinke a little which they did at their leisure The French king before he approched neere to his enimies sent forth foure skilfull knights to view the demeanor of his enimies the which returning againe made report as they had séene and that for somuch as they could gesse the Englishmen ment to abide him being diuided into thrée battels readie to receiue him and his puissance if he went forward in purpose to assaile them Here was the French king counselled to stay and not to giue battell that day but to aduise all things with good deliberation and regard to consider well how and what way he might best assaile them Then by the marshals were all men commanded to staie and not to go anie further they that were formost and next to the enimies taried but they that were behind would not abide but rode foorth and said they would not staie till they were as far as the formost and when they before saw them behind come forward then they marched on also againe so that neither the K. nor his marshals could rule them but that they passed forward still without order or anie good arraie till they came in sight of their enimies and as soone as the formost saw their enimies then they reculed backe whereof they behind had maruell and were abashed supposing that the formost companie had béene fighting Then they might haue had roome to haue gone forward if they had béene minded The commons of whome all the waies betwixt Abuile and Cressie were full when they saw that they were néere their enimies they tooke their swords and cried Downe with them Let vs slea them all There was no man though he were present at the iornie that could imagine or shew the truth of the euill order that was among the French partie and yet they were a maruellous great number The Englishmen which beheld their enimies thus approching them prepared themselues at leisure for the battell which they saw to be at hand The first battell whereof the prince was ruler had the archers standing in maner of an herse and the men of armes in the botome of the battell The earle of Northampton and the earle of Arundell with the second battell were on a wing in good order readie to comfort the line 10 princes battell if néed

and yet the lord Scroope that was lord chamberleine had allowed for the earles diet foure thousand nobles yéerelie paid out of the kings coffers On the mondaie next after the arreignement of the earle of Warwike to wit the foure and twentie of September was the lord Iohn Cobham and sir Iohn Cheinie arreigned and found guiltie of like treasons for which the other had beene condemned before but at the earnest instance and sute of the nobles they were pardoned of life and banished or as Fabian saith condemned to perpetuall prison ¶ The king desirous to see the force of the Londoners caused them during the time of this parlement to muster before him on Blacke heath where a man might haue seene a great number of able personages And now after that the parlement had continued almost till Christmasse it was adiourned vntil the quinden of S. Hilarie then to begin againe at Shrewesburie The king then came downe to Lichfield and there held a roiall Christmasse which being ended he tooke his iournie towards Shrewesburie where the parlement was appointed to begin in the quinden of saint Hilarie as before yée haue heard year 1398 In which parlement there holden vpon prorogation for the loue that the king bare to the gentlemen and commons of the shire of Chester he caused it to be ordeined that from thencefoorth it should be called and knowne by the name of the principalitie of Chester and herewith he intituled himselfe prince of Chester He held also a roiall feast kéeping open houshold for all honest commers during the which feast he created fiue dukes and a duchesse a marquesse and foure earles The earle of Derbie was created duke of Hereford the earle of Notingham that was also earle marshall duke of Norfolke the earle of Rutland duke of Aubemarle the earle of Kent duke of Surrie and the earle of Huntington duke of Excester the ladie Margaret marshall countesse of Norfolke was created duchesse of Norfolke the earle of Summerset marques Dorset the lord Spenser earle of Glocester the lord Neuill surnamed Daurabie earle of Westmerland the lord William Scroope lord chamberleine earle of Wiltshire and the lord Thomas Persie lord steward of the kings house earle of Worcester And for the better maintenance of the estate of these noble men whome he had thus aduanced to higher degrees of honour he gaue vnto them a great part of those lands that belonged to the duke of Glocester the earles of Warwike and Arundell And now he was in good hope that he had rooted vp all plants of treason and therefore cared lesse who might be his freend or his fo than before he had doone estéeming himselfe higher in degrée than anie prince liuing and so presumed further than euer his grandfather did and tooke vpon him to beare the armes of saint Edward ioining them vnto his owne armes To conclude what soeuer he then did none durst speake a word contrarie therevnto And yet such as were cheefe of his councell were estéemed of the commons to be the woorst creatures that might be as the dukes of Aumarle Norfolke and Excester the earle of Wiltshire sir Iohn Bushie sir William Bagot and sir Thomas Gréene which thrée last remembred were knights of the Bath against whom the commons vndoubtedlie bare great and priuie hatred But now to proceed In this parlement holden at Shrewsburie the lord Reginald Cobham being a verie aged man simple and vpright in all his dealings was condemned for none other cause but for that in the eleuenth yéere of the kings reigne he was line 10 appointed with other to be attendant about the king as one of his gouernours The acts and ordinances also deuised and established in the parlement holden in the eleuenth yeare were likewise repealed Moreouer in this parlement at Shrewesburie it was decréed that the lord Iohn Cobham should be sent into the I le of Gernesie there to remaine in exile hauing a small portion assigned him to liue vpon The king so wrought brought things about that he obteined the whole power of both houses to be granted to certeine line 20 persons as to Iohn duke of Lancaster Edmund duke of Yorke Edmund duke of Aumarle Thomas duke of Surrie Iohn duke of Excester Iohn marquesse Dorset Roger earle of March Iohn earle of Salisburie and Henrie earle of Northumberland Thomas earle of Glocester and William earle of Wiltshire Iohn Hussie Henrie Cheimeswike Robert Teie and Iohn Goulofer knights or to seauen or eight of them These were appointed to heare and determine certeine petitions and matters line 30 yet depending and not ended but by vertue of this grant they procéeded to conclude vpon other things which generallie touched the knowledge of the whole parlement in derogation of the states therof to the disaduantage of the king and perillous example in time to come When the king had spent much monie in time of this parlement he demanded a disme and a halfe of the clergie and a fiftéenth of the temporaltie Finallie line 40 a generall pardon was granted for all offenses to all the kings subiects fiftie onelie excepted whose names he would not by anie meanes expresse but reserued them to his owne knowledge that when anie of the nobilitie offended him he might at his plesure name him to be one of the number excepted and so kéepe them still within his danger To the end that the ordinances iudgements and acts made pronounced and established in this parlement might be and abide in perpetuall strength and force the king line 50 purchased the popes buls in which were conteined greeuous censures and cursses pronounced against all such as did by anie means go about to breake and violate the statutes in the same parlement ordeined These buls were openlie published read at Paules crosse in London and in other the most publike places of the realme Manie other things were doone in this parlement to the displeasure of no small number of people namelie for that diuerse rightfull heires were disherited line 60 of their lands and liuings by authoritie of the same parlement with which wrongfull dooings the people were much offended so that the king and those that were about him and chéefe in councell came into great infamie and slander In déed the king after he had dispatched the duke of Glocester and the other noblemen was not a little glad for that he knew them still readie to disappoint him in all his purposes and therefore being now as it were carelesse did not behaue himselfe as some haue written in such discréet order as manie wished but rather as in time of prosperitie it often happeneth he forgot himselfe and began to rule by will more than by reason threatning death to each one that ob●ied not his inordinate desires By means whereof the lords of the realme began to feare their owne estates being in danger of his furious outrage whome they tooke for a man

intent to trouble my said lord of Glocester going to the king purposing his death in case that he had gone that waie set men of armes and archers at the end of London bridge next Suthworke and in forebarring of the kings high waie let draw the chaine of the stoupes there and set vp pipes and hurdles in manner and forme of bulworks and set men in chambers cellars windowes with bowes and arrowes and other weapons to the intent to bring finall destruction to my said lord of Glocesters person as well as of those that then should come with him 4 Item my said lord of Glocester saith and affirmeth that our souereigne lord his brother that was king Henrie the fift told him on a time when our souereigne lord being prince was lodged in the palace of Westminster in the great chamber by the noise of a spaniell there was on a night a man spied and taken behind a tapet of the said chamber the which man was deliuered to the earle of Arundell to be examined vpon the cause of his being there at that time the which so examined at that time confessed that he was there by the stirring and procuring of my said lord of Winchester ordeined to haue slaine the said prince there in his bed wherefore the said earle of Arundell let sacke him foorthwith and drowned him in the Thames 5 Item our souereigne lord that was king Henrie the fift said vnto my said lord of Glocester that his father king Henrie the fourth liuing and visited then greatlie with sickenesse by the hand of God my said lord of Winchester said vnto the king Henrie the fift then being prince that the king his father so visited with sicknesse was not personable therfore not disposed to come in conuersation and gouernance of the people and for so much counselled him to take the gouernance and crowne of this land vpon him The answer of the bishop HEre insue the answers to the accusations made by my lord of Winchester chancellour of England vnto the causes and matters of heauinesse declared in the articles against him by my lord of Glocester 1 First as of the refusall made vnto my lord of Glocester of opening the Tower to him of his lodging therein by the commandement of my said lord of Winchester he answereth that in the presence of my said lord of Glocester before his comming out of his countrie of Heinault for causes such as were thought resonable it séemeth lawfull that the Tower should haue béene notablie stored and kept with vittels howb●it it was not foorthwith executed and that in likewise after that my said lord of Glocester was gone into his said countrie of Heinault for seditious and odious billes and languages cast and vsed in the citie of London sounding of insurrection and rebellion against the kings peace and destruction aswell of diuerse estates of this land as strangers being vnder the defense in so much that in doubt thereof strangers in great number fled the land And for the more sure kéeping of the said Tower Richard line 10 Wooduile esquier so trusted with our souereigne lord the king that dead is as well ye know also chamberlaine and councellor vnto my lord of Bedford with a certeine number of defensible persons assigned vnto him was made deputie there by the assent of the kings councell being that time at London for to abide therein for the safegard thereof and streictlie charged by the said councell that during that time of his said charge he should not suffer any man to be in the Tower stronger than himselfe without speciall line 20 charge or commandement of the king by the aduise of his councell 2 Item that soone after vpon the comming of my said lord of Glocester into this land from his countrie of Heinault the said lords of the kings councell were informed that my said lord of Glocester grudged with the said maner of inforcing the Tower and let saie to them of London that he had well vnderstand that they had béene heauilie threatened for the time of his absence and otherwise than they shuld haue beene if he had béene in this land Wherefore he line 30 was right euill contented and especiallie of the said forcing of the Tower set vpon them in manner of a chased villain considering the good equitie and truth that they had alwaies kept vnto the king offering them therevpon remedie if they would 3 Item that after this Richard Scot lieutenant of the Tower by the commandement of my said lord of Glocester brought vnto him frier Randolph the which had long before confessed treason doone by him line 40 against the kings person that dead is for the which knowledge he was put to be kept in the said Tower streictlie commanded vnder great paine giuen vnto the said Scot to kéepe him streictlie suerlie not to let him out of the said Tower without cōmandment of the king by aduise of his councell The which frier Randolph my said lord of Glocester kept then with himselfe not witting to the said Scot as he declared to my said lord of Winchester soone after that he had brought the said frier Randolph to my lord of Glocester line 50 saieng to my lord of Winchester that he was vndoone but he helped him expressed as for cause of the withholding of frier Randolph and saieng moreouer that when he desired of my said lord of Glocester the deliuerance of the said frier Randolph to lead him againe vnto the Tower or sufficient warrant for his discharge my said lord of Glocester answered him that his commandement was sufficient warrant and discharge for him In the which thing abouesaid it was thought to my lord of Winchester line 60 that my said lord of Glocester tooke vpon him further than his authoritie stretched vnto and caused him to doubt and dread least that he would haue procéeded further And at such time as the said Wooduile came vnto him to aske his aduise and counsell of lodging my said lord of Glocester in the Tower he aduised and charged him that before he suffered my said lord of Glocester or any person to lodge therein stronger than himselfe he should purueie him a sufficient warrant therof of the king by the aduise of his councell 4 Item as to the said article of the foresaid causes of heauinesse my said lord chancellor answereth that he neuer purposed to set hand on the kings person nor to remoue him or that he should be remoued or put in any manner of gouernance but by the aduise of the kings councell For he could not perceiue any manner of goodnesse or of aduantage that might haue growne to him thereof but rather great perill and charge and hereof my said lord of Winchester is readie to make proofe in time and place conuenient 5 Item as to the third article of the foresaid causes and heauines my said lord chancellor answereth that he was oft and diuerse times warned by

that he purposeth to be one though he paie for nothing else And yet must he be twise asked whether he will be bishop or no and he must twise saie naie and the third time take it as compelled therevnto by his owne will And in a stage plaie all the people know right well that one plaieng the Soldan is percase a sowter yet if one should can so little good to shew out of season what aquaintance he hath with him and call him by his owne name while he standeth in his maiestie one of his tormentors might hap to breake his head and worthie for marring of the plaie And so they said that these matters be kings games as it were stage plaies and for the more part plaied vpon scaffolds in which poore men be but the lookers on And they that wise be will meddle no further For they that sometime step vp and plaie with them when they can not plaie their parts they disorder the plaie and doo themselues no good Thus farre Edward the fift who was neuer king crowned but shamefullie by his vncle slaine as in the processe following appeereth Richard the third third sonne to Richard duke ofYorke and vncle to Edward the fift T He next daie the protector with a great traine went to Westminster hall there line 20 when he had placed himselfe in the court of the Kings bench declared to the audience that he would take vpon him the crowne in that place there where the king himselfe sitteth and ministreth the law bicause he considered that it was the chiefest dutie of a king to minister the lawes Then with as pleasant an oration as he could he went about to win vnto him the nobles the merchants the artificers line 30 and in conclusion all kind of men but especiallie the lawiers of this realme And finallie to the intent that no man should hate him for feare and that his deceitfull clemencie might get him the good will of the people when he had declared the discommodities of discord the cōmodities of concord vnitie he made an open proclamation that he did put out of his mind all enimities and that he there did openlie pardon all offenses committed against him And to the intent that he might shew a proofe therof line 40 he commanded that one Fog whom he had long deadlie hated should be brought then before him who being brought out of the sanctuarie for thither had he fled for feare of him in the sight of the people he tooke him by the hand Which thing the common people reioised at and praised but wise men tooke it for a vanitie In his returne homeward whom so euer he met he saluted For a mind that knoweth it selfe guiltie is in a manner deiected to a seruile flatterie which refuseth no dutifulnesse tend the same to neuer so hie a degrée of indignitie which one noteth saieng rides maiore cachinno Concuti●ur flet si lachrymas aspexit amici Frigescis friget si dixeris aestuo sudat When he had begun his reigne in the moneth of Iune after this mockish election then was he crowned king in the verie same moneth And that solemnitie was furnished for the most part with the selfe same prouision that was appointed for the coronation of his nephue * But here to shew the manner of his coronation as the same is inserted in this pamphlet of sir Thomas More by maister Edward Hall and Richard Grafton although not found in the same pamphlet thus we find it by them reported * First to be sure of all enimies as he thought he sent for fiue thousand men of the north against his coronation which came vp euill apparelled and worse harnessed in rustie harnesse neither defensible nor scowred to the sale which mustered in Finsburie field to the great disdaine of the lookers on By which beginning it appéered to the world that he had his state in suspicion otherwise he would not haue procured such a power to be attendant at his commandment and that at such time as all weapons laid aside peace and tranquillitie should haue béene sought after for the comforts of the peoples minds the safetie of his owne person but being verie mistrustfull fraught with carefull thoughts he was in a maze betwéene hope and feare according to this verie true saieng Sollicitae mentes spéque metúque pauent The fourth daie of Iulie he came to the Tower by water with his wife and the fift daie he created Thomas lord Howard duke of Norffolke and sir Thomas Howard his sonne he created earle of Surrie and William lord Berkeleie was then created erle of Nottingham and Francis lord Louell was then made vicount Louell and the king his chamberleine and the lord Stanleie was deliuered out of ward for feare of his sonne the lord Strange which line 10 was then in Lancashire gathering men as men said and the said lord was made steward of the king his houshold likewise the archbishop of Yorke was deliuered but Morton bishop of Elie was committed to the duke of Buckingham to kéepe in

But the third request whether the let was on the mans line 50 side or on the womans neuer sorted to anie conclusion The ladie Margaret the kings daughter affied as yée haue heard to the king of Scots was appointed to be conueied into Scotland by the earle of Surrie and the earle of Northumberland as warden of the marches was commanded to deliuer hir at the confines of both the realmes And so héere vpon after hir comming to Berwike she was conueied to Lamberton kirke in Scotland where the king line 60 of Scots with the flower of all the nobles and gentlemen of Scotland was readie to receiue hir to whome the earle of Northumberland according to his commission deliuered hir The said earle of Northumberland that daie what for the riches of his coat being goldsmithes worke garnished with pearle and stone and what for the gallant apparell of his Henchmen and braue trappers of his horsse beside foure hundred tall men well horssed and apparelled in his colours was estéemed both of the Scots and Englishmen more like a prince than a subiect From Lamberton the foresaid ladie was conueied to Edenburgh and there the daie after king Iames the fourth in the presence of all his nobilitie espoused hir and feasted the English lords and shewed iusts and other pastimes verie honourablie after the fashion of that countrie And after all things were finished according to their commission the erle of Surrie with all the English lords and ladies returned into their countrie In this yeare the king kept his high court of parlement in the which diuerse acts estéemed necessarie for the preseruation of the common-wealth were established and amongst other it was enacted that théeues and murtherers duelie conuicted by the law to die and yet saued by their books should be committed to the bishops custodie After this a subsidie was granted both of the temporaltie and spiritualtie and so that parlement ended But the king now drawing into age and willing to fill his chests with aboundance of treasure was not satisfied with this onelie subsidie but deuised an other meane how to inrich himselfe as thus year 1504 He considered that the Englishmen little regarded the kéeping of penall lawes and pecuniall statutes deuised for the good preseruation of the common-welth Wherefore he caused inquisition to be made of those that had transgressed anie of the same lawes so that there were but few noble men merchants farmers husbandmen grasiers or occupiers that could cléerlie prooue themselues faultlesse but had offended in some one or other of the same lawes At the first they that were found giltie were easilie fined But after there were appointed two maisters and surueiors of his forfeits the one sir Richard Empson and the other Edmund Dudleie These two were learned in the lawes of the realme who meaning to satisfie their princes pleasure and to sée their commission executed to the vttermost séemed little to respect the perill that might insue Wherevpon they being furnished with a sort of accusers commonlie called promoters or as they themselues will be named informers troubled manie a man whereby they wan them great hatred and the king by such rigorous procéedings lost the loue and fauour which the people before time had borne towards him so that he for setting them a worke and they for executing of it in such extreame wise ran into obloquie with the subiects of this realme ¶ On the thirtéenth of Nouember was holden within the palace of the archbishop of Canturburie at Lambeth the sergeants feast where dined the king and all his nobles And vpon the same day Thomas Granger newlie chosen shiriffe of London was presented before the barons of the kings exchequer there to take his oth and after went with the maior vnto the same feast which saued him monie in his pursse for if that day that feast had not béene kept he must haue feasted the maior aldermen and others woorshipfull of the citie This feast was kept at the charge of ten learned men newlie admitted to bée sergeants to the kings law whose names were Robert Bridnell William Greuill Thomas Marow George Edgore Iohn Moore Iohn Cutler Thomas Eliot Lewes Pollard Guie Palmis William Fairesax On the one and twentith of Nouember at night began a perillous fier at the signe of the panier vpon London bridge néere to saint Magnus church where six tenements were burned yer the same could be quenched On the seuenth of Ianuarie were certeine houses consumed with fire against saint Butolphes church in Thames street On the fiue and twentith of Ianuarie began a parlement at Westminster of the which was chosen speaker for the commons maister Edmund Dudleie A new coine of siluer was ordeined of grotes and halfe grotes which bare but halfe faces and some péeces of the value of twelue pense were then to sir Iohn Carew and to sir Thomas Trenchard that they should interteine him in the most honorable sort they could deuise till he might come himselfe in person to welcome him Beside this he sent the earle of Arundell with manie lords and knights to attend vpon him Which earle according to the kings letters receiued him with thrée hundred horsses all by torchlight to the great admiration of the strangers King Philip séeing no remedie but that he must line 10 needs tarie would no longer gaze after king Henries comming but tooke his iournie toward Windsore castell where the king laie and fiue miles from Windsore the prince of Wales accompanied with fiue earles and diuerse lords and knights and other to the number of fiue hundred persons gorgiouslie apparelled receiued him after the most honorable fashion And within halfe a mile of Windsore the king accompanied with the duke of Buckingham and a great part of the nobilitie of this realme welcomed line 20 him so conueied him to the castell of Windsore where he was made companion of the noble order of the garter After him came to Windsore his wife queene Iane sister to the princesse Dowager late wife to prince Arthur After the two kings had renewed confirmed the league and amitie betwixt them king Henrie desired to haue Edmund de la Poole earle of Suffolke to be deliuered into his hands To whome the king of Cast●le answered that he verelie was not within line 30 his dominion and therefore it laie not in him to deliuer him In deed he was loth to be the authour of his death that came to him for succour and was receiued vnder his protection yet vpon the earnest request and assured promise of king Henrie that he would pardon him of all executions and paines of death he granted to king Henries desire and so incontinentlie caused the said earle secretlie to be sent for After this to protract time till he were possessed of 〈…〉 king Henrie conueied the king of Castile line 40 vnto the citie of London that

all other princes and whensoeuer it chanced that either he or any king of England being rightfull inheritor had any wars against any prince either within the land or without the Scotishmen of their owne proper costs and expenses should find thrée hundred horssemen a thousand footmen well and sufficientlie arraied for the warre the which thirtéene hundred men the Scots should wage for a whole yeare if the king of England ended not his warres within the yeare then he to giue wages to the said number of thirteene hundred Scots as he dooth to other of his souldiers and men of warre There be that write that the king of England should not onlie fortifie saint Iohns towne about this time as before is mentioned but also saint Andrews Cowper Aberdine Dunfermeling with certeine other castels leauing garisons of men in the same But for so much as ye may read sufficientlie of those troubles in Scotland and of the returne of king Dauid foorth of France and how his realme was recouered out of the Baliols hands in the Scotish chronicles we néed not here to make anie long discourse thereof The quéene was deliuered of hir second sonne at Hatfield who was therfore named William of Hatfield who liued but a short time departing this world when he was but yoong The king being returned home out of Scotland sought by all waies possible how to recouer monie both to supplie his charges for the Scotish wars and also to furnish the other wars which he meant to take in hand against the French king he got so much into his hands as it is reported by writers that it was verie scant and hard to come by throughout the whole realme by reason of which scarsitie and want of monie or vpon some other necessarie cause vittels and other chaffer and merchandize were excéeding cheape for at London a quarter of wheat was sold for two shillings a fat oxe for 〈◊〉 shillings eight pence a fat shéepe for six pence or eight pence halfe a doozen of pigeons for one penie a fat goose for two pence a pig for one penie and so all other v●●tels after the like rate This yeare was the warre proclamed betwixt England and France cheefelie by the procurement line 10 of the lord Robert Dartois a Frenchman as then banished out of France vpon occasion of a claime by him made vnto the earldome of Artois This lord Robert after he was banished France fled ouer vnto king Edward who gladlie receiued him and made him earle of Richmond ¶ All the goods of the Italians were by the kings commandement this yeare confiscate to his vse and so likewise were the goods of the moonks of the Cluniake and Cisterceaur orders ¶ This yeare also a comet or blasingstarre line 20 appeared with long and terrible streames passing from it In the eleauenth yeare of his reigne the king held a parlement at Westminster about the time of Lent during the which of the earledome of Cornewall he made a duchie and gaue it vnto his eldest sonne Edward that was then earle of Chester whom also as some write he created at the same time prince of Wales Moreouer in reward of seruice there were six noble men at this parlement aduanced to the honour and title of earles as the lord Henrie sonne to the line 30 earle of Lancaster was created earle of Derbie or after some writers earle of Leicester William Bohun was created earle of Northampton William Montacute earle of Salisburie Hugh Audeley earle of Glocester William Clinton earle of Huntingdon and Robert Ufford earle of Suffolke This creation was on the second sundaie in Lent and the same day were twentie knights made whose names for breefenesse we doo here omit In this parlement line 40 it was enacted that no man should weare any manner of silke in gowne cote or doublet except he might dispend of good and sufficient rent an hundred pounds by yeare which act was not long obserued For the nature of man is such that of it owne corrupt euill inclination it withstandeth good things and chooseth rather to follow whatsoeuer is forbidden yea though the same be starke naught and offensiue to law and conscience which preposterous and ouerthwart disposition the poet noteth well saieng line 50 aliédque cupido Mens aliud suadet video meliora probóque Deteriora sequor It was also ordeined by the aduise of this parlement that Henrie of Lancaster newlie created erle of Derbie should go ouer into Gascoine there to remaine as the kings lieutenant But Richard Southwell saith that the earle of Salisburie and not the earle of Derbie was appointed to go into Gascoine at that time and the earle of Warwike into Scotland line 60 Moreouer in this parlement it was enacted that no wooll of the English growth should go foorth of the land but be here wrought and made in cloath and further an act was ordeined for receiuing of strangers that were clothworkers and order taken that fit and conuenient places should be assigned foorth to them where to inhabit with manie priuileges and liberties and that they should haue wages and stipends allowed them till they were so setled as they might gaine commodiouslie by their occupation and science but now to returne againe to other matters The Scots this yeare tooke the castell of Bothuile by surrender so as the Englishmen that were within it departed with their liues and goods saued Diuerse other castels and fortresses were taken by the Scots in Fife and in other parts but the countrie of Galloway was by them speciallie sore afflicted bicause the people there held with their lord Edward Balioll. Herevpon it was agreed in this last parlement that the earle of Warwike being appointed to go thither should haue with him the power beyond Trent northwards But when about the Ascension tide the Scots had besieged the castell of Striueling the king of England in person hasted thitherwards of whose approach the Scots no sooner vnderstood but that streightwaies they brake vp their siege and departed thence the king therefore returned backe into the south parts About the same time sir Eustace de Maxwell knight lord of Carlauerocke reuolted from Edward Balioll vnto Dauid le Bruse his side and so that part dailie increased and also the warre continued with damage inough vnto both parts In the beginning of September the earle of Warwike with an armie entred Scotland by Berwike and the lord Thomas de Wake and the lord Clifford with the bishop of Carleill accompanied with the Westmerland and Cumberland men entred by Carleill and within two daies after met with the earle of Warwike as before it was appointed and so ioining togither they passed forwards spoiling and wasting Teuidale Mofeteidale and Nidesdale The lord Anthonie Lucie with a part of the armie entred into Galloway and after he had wasted that countrie he returned to the armie which by

night when they went to bed were found dead in the morning Also manie died of the small pocks both men women and children ¶ Moreouer this yeare Simon Is●ep archbishop of Canturburie departed this life and Simon Langham bishop of Elie succeeded in his place This yeare at Burdeaux was borne the second sonne of prince Edward named Richard on the third daie of Aprill his godfather at the fontstone was Iames K. of Maiorke ¶ Peter the king of Spaine who as yee haue heard was expelled out of his realme by his bastard brother made such earnest sute to the prince of Wales for aid to be restored home that finallie the prince aduertising his father king Edward of the whole matter by aduise from him determined to bring home the said king Peter and to restore him againe to his kingdome by force of armes in despite of all his aduersaries The prince indéed was verie desirous to take this enterprise vpon him both of a certeine pitifull affection to relieue the miserable state of king Peter and also of an ardent desire which he had to purchase a glorious fame thorough martiall deeds and noble acts of chiualrie Therfore hauing this occasion to imploie his time in such exercises and now commanded thereto of his father he was excéedinglie glad in his mind and with all spéed that might be made his prouision both of a sufficient armie of men of warre and also of all other things necessarie for the furniture of such an enterprise but first he tooke good assurance line 10 of king Peter for the paiment of the soldiers wages so the king left at Baionne thrée of his daughters Beatrice Constance and Isabell as pledges for performance of all the couenants agreed betwixt him and the prince Thus when the prince by the aduise and counsell of sir Iohn Chandois and sir Robert Knols by whome he was much ruled had taken direction in his businesse for that his iournie into Spaine in each condition as was thought behoouefull he with line 20 the king of Spaine in his companie passed foorth with a puissant armie and came to the streicts of Ronceualle at the entrie into Nauarre and obteining so much fréendship of the king of Nauarre as to haue the passages of his countrie opened they entered into his realme through the same as freends without finding any resistance In this meane time Henrie king of Spaine hauing knowledge that the prince of Wales was thus comming against him to restore his brother king Peter to his former degrée line 30 by aduise of sir Berthram de Cleaquin got a great number of soldiers out of France by whose aid he might the better defend himselfe against his enimies Now it chanced that whilest the prince of Wales was passing thorough Nauarre toward the entrie of Spaine certeine of those Frenchmen vnder the leading of sir Oliuer Mannie tooke the king of Nauarre prisoner as he was riding from one towne to an other Manie maruelled at that chance and some line 40 there were that thought he suffered himselfe to be taken for a caut●le bicause he would not aid the prince of Wales any further nor conduct him through his realme as he had promised to doo But the prince nothing dismaid herewith passed forward by the guiding of a knight of Nauarre called sir Martin de Care and finallie came to the confines of Spaine and lodged at Uictoria not far from his enimies For king Henrie of Spaine vnderstanding which waie the prince drew came forward to incounter line 50 him and pight downe his field not far from the borders of his realme at a place called saint Muchaule and thus were both the hosts lodged within a small distance the one against the other King Henrie had sent to the prince an herauld of armes with a letter requiring to know of him for what cause he moued warre against him sith he had neuer offended him The prince taking deliberation for answer of this letter kept the messenger with him and perceiuing that king Henrie came not forward line 60 but laie still at saint Muchaule stronglie incamped he remooued from Uictoria and came to a towne called Uiana where he staied two daies to refresh his people and after went forward and passed the riuer which diuideth the realmes of Castile and Nauarre at the bridge of Groigne King Henrie aduertised hereof departed from saint Muchaule and came before the towne of Nauarret situat on the same riuer Not manie daies before the prince passed the riuer at Groigne king Henrie had sent foorth two of his brethren the earle Dom Teille and the lord Sanches with six hundred horssemen to view the princes host They chanced to incounter two hundred English horssemen whom after long and sharpe fight they distressed slue sir William Felton one of the chiefe leaders of those Englishmen and tooke sir Thomas Felton his brother sir Hugh Hastings and diuerse other both knights and esquiers Whether that king Henrie was greatlie incouraged by this good lucke in the beginning or that he trusted through the great multitude of his people which he had there with him to haue the vpper hand of his enimies true it is that he coueted sore to giue them battell and although he might haue wearied the prince and constreined him for want of vittels to haue returned or to haue fought with him at some great aduantage if he had deferred the battell as the marshall of France Dandrehen gaue counsell yet he would néeds fight in all the hast and therefore did thus approch his enimies The prince perceiuing that his aduersarie came forward to incounter him dispatched the herauld with an answer to the letter which he had of him receiued conteining in effect that for great considerations he had taken vpon him to aid the rightfull K. of Spaine chased out of his realm by violent wrong and that if it might be he would gladlie make an agreement betwixt them conditionallie that king Henrie of necessitie must then forsake the administration and all the title of the kingdome of Spaine which by no rightfull meane he could inioy and therefore if he refused thus to doo he was for his part resolued how to procéed The herauld departed with this answer and came therewith vnto king Henrie and deliuered it vnto him as then lodged with his puissant armie at Nauarre so that then both parties prepared themselues to battell The prince hauing with him thirtie thousand men of Englishmen Gascoignes and other strangers ordeined three battels of the which the first was led by the duke of Lancaster and with him was sir Iohn Chandois constable of Guien sir William Beauchampe son to the earle of Warwike the lord Dalbret sir Richard Dangle and sir Stephan Cousenton marshals of Guien diuerse other The middle ward was gouerned by the prince and with him was the foresaid Peter king of Spaine and diuerse other lords and
