It was further ordered, that the chatelains or constables (as I may call them) of the foure ca|stels of Northampton, Killingworth, Notingham, and Scarborow, should be sworne to the fiue and twentie péeres, to gouerne those castels in such wise as they should haue in commandement from the said fiue and twentie péeres, or from the greater part of them: and that such should be placed as chatelains in the same, as were thought to be most true and faithfull vnto the barons and the realme. ¶ It was also decreed, that certeine strangers, as Flemings and other, should be banished out of England.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The king herevpon sent his letters patents vnto the shiriffes of all the counties of this realme, com|manding them to see the ordinances and liberties which he granted and confirmed, to be diligentlie ob|serued. And for the more strengthening of this his grant, he had gotten the pope to confirme a like char|ter granted the yeare before. For the pope (sith king Iohn was become his obedient vassall, and the apo|stolike king) easilie granted to gratifie both him and his lords herein, and so was the grant of the liber|ties corroborated & made good with a double confir|mation, and so sealed, that it was impossible for them to be separated in sunder, the kings grant being an|nexed to the popes bull.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Immediatlie also vpon the confirmation now made by the king, diuerse lords came to him, and re|quired restitution of such possessions, lands, and hou|ses, as he had in his hands the right whereof (as they alledged) apperteined to them: but he excused the matter, and shifted them off, till by inquest taken, it might appeare what right euerie man had to those things which they then claimed: and furthermore as|signed them a daie to be holden at Westminster, which was the sixtéenth day of Iulie. But yer he restored at that time the castell of Rochester vnto the archbishop of Canturburie, the barons hauing obteined a great peece of their purpose (as they thought) returned to London with their charter sea|led, the date whereof was this:Rochester c [...]|stell restored to the archb. [...] Canturburie. Giuen by our owne hand, in the medow called Kuningsmede or Rime|mede, betwixt Stanes and Windsore, the fifteenth of Iune, in the eighteenth yeare of our reigne.
