But these reasons notwithstanding, the legat war|ned the French king on paine of cursing, not to suf|fer his sonne to go into England, and likewise his sonne, that he should not presume to take the iournie in hand. But Lewes hearing this, declared that his father had nothing to do to forbid him to prosecute his right in the realme of England, which was not hol|den of him, and therefore required his father not to hinder his purpose in such things as belonged no|thing to him, but rather to licence him to séeke the recouerie of his wiues right, which he meant to pur|sue with perill of life, if need should require.

Lewes in like maner, purposing by all meanes to preuent the legat,The French kings sonne sendeth to the pope. first dispatched foorth ambassadours in all hast vnto the court of Rome to excuse himselfe to the pope, and to render the rea|sons that most speciallie mooued him to procéed for|ward in his enterprise against king Iohn, being cal|led by the barons of England to take the crowne thereof vpon him.

In which meane time there came vnto him a great number of those lords and gentlemen which had sent for him, and there euerie one apart and by himselfe sware fe|altie and homage vnto him,The lords doo homage vn|to him. as if he had béene their true and naturall prince.
