Polydor. the king not being gratlie sorie for his death (as some haue writ|ten) bicause he gathered some suspicion that he bare too much good will towards the French king. In ve|rie déed (as some write) the archbishop repented him|selfe of nothing so much, as for that he had commen|ded king Iohn to the Noblemen and Péeres of the realme, sith he prooued an other manner of man than he looked to haue found him.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 After his deceasse, the moonks of Canturburie without knowledge of the king, chose one Reignold the subprior of their house to be their archbishop,An archbishop chosen. who secretlie went to Rome to obteine his confirmation of the pope. Which thing bred much mischéefe and great discord betwixt pope Innocent & king Iohn, since the pope would not confirme the election, bi|cause he saw some péece of secret practise, till he might vnderstand and be certified by report of suffici|ent witnesse (for that he wanted the letters com|mendatorie from the king) that the same election was lawfull and orderlie made. Of this delaie also the moonks being spéedilie aduertised, and to the end they might now recouer the kings fauour, whome they had verie sore offended in not making him pri|uie to the first election, they made request vnto him, that by his nomination it might be lawfull for them to choose an other archbishop.

A|mongst other that were sent to Rome about this bu|sinesse, Helias de Brantfield was one,Helias de Brantfield. a moonke of great estimation, and had in good credit with the king, who ministred vnto them that were thus sent, sufficient allowance wherewith to beare their char|ges and expenses.
