Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 4 The cheefe of them that were within this castell to defend it were these, William de Uendeuall co|nestable there, Roger de Mountbegun, Rafe Mur|dac, Philip de Worceter and Ranulfe de Worceter brethren. The morow after the surrender was made, the king went to Clipstone, and rode into the forrest of Shirewood, where he had neuer béene before, the view whereof pleased him greatlie.The forrest [...] Shirewood. The castell of Tickhill was likewise at the same time yéelded vn|to the bishop of Durham, who receiued it to the kings vse, and them that kept it as prisoners, without anie composition, but standing simplie to the K. mercie. For although those that had these castels in keeping, were sufficientlie prouided of all necessarie things for defense, yet the sudden comming of the king (whom they thought verelie would neuer haue re|turned) put them in such feare, that they wist not what to make of the matter,The castell of Tickhill yee [...]|ded. and so (as men amazed) they yéelded without anie further exception. The bi|shop of Durham bringing those prisoners with him which had yéelded vp this castell of Tickhill, Rog. Houed. came to the king the 27 daie of March, the verie daie before that Notingham castell was giuen ouer.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Moreouer, this is to be remembred, that during the siege of Notingham,Strife be|twixt ye arch|bishops for ca|rieng of their crosses. contention arose betwixt the two archbishops of Canturburie and Yorke, a|bout the carriage of their crosses. For Hubert arch|shop of Canturburie comming thither, had his crosse borne before him; the archbishop of Yorke (hauing no crosse there at all) was verie sore offended, that anie other should go with crosse borne before him in his diocesse, and therfore complained hereof to the king. But the archbishop of Canturburie mainteined that he had not doone anie thing but that which was law|full for him to doo, and therevpon made his appeale to Rome, that the pope might haue the hearing and iudging of that controuersie betwixt them.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 In the meane time, after the king had got the ca|stels of Notingham and Tickhill into his hands (as ye haue heard) he called a parlement at Noting|ham, where the quéene mother sat on the right hand of him, and the archbishops of Canturburie & Yorke on the left, with other bishops, earles and barons ac|cording to their places. On the first daie of their ses|sion was Gerard de Camuille discharged of the of|fice which he had borne of shiriffe of Lincolne,Officers dis|charged. and dispossessed both of the castell & countie. And so like|wise was Hugh Bardolfe of the castell and countie of Yorke, and of the castell of Scarbourgh, and of the custodie and kéeping of the countrie of West|merland,Lieutenant|ships set on sale. the which offices being now in the kings hands, he set them on sale to him that would giue most. Hereof it came to passe, that where the lord chancellour offered to giue fiftéene hundred markes before hand, for the counties of Yorke, Lincolne and Northampton, and an hundred markes of increase of rent for euerie of the same counties,The archbi|shop of Yorke offer. Geffrey arch|bishop of Yorke offered to the king thrée thousand markes aforehand, onelie for the countie of Yorke, and an hundred markes yearelie of increase, and so had the same committed to his regiment.
