Compare 1577 edition: 1 The king aduertised hereof by the gréeuous com|plaints of his subiects, was as then at Northamp|ton (where he had assembled his parlement) and ther|vpon hauing gathered speedilie a power, with all ex|pedition he hasted towards Bedford. At his com|ming thither, he besieged the castell on ech side,Bedford ca|stell besieged. and at length after two moneths, though not without much adoo, he wan it, and hanged them all which were taken within, being in number 80 or aboue: and a|mongst other William de Brent, the brother of the said Fouks was one. There were but thrée that e|scaped with life, who were pardoned, vpon condition they should passe into the holie land, there to serue a|mong the Templers. The siege began on the Ascen|sion eeuen, and continued till the 15 daie of August, being the feast daie of the assumption of our ladie.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Fouks himselfe, whilest the siege continued, laie aloofe in [...]eshire, and on the borders of Wales,He was in the borders of Wales, where the earle of Chester was lord. as one watching to doo some mischiefe: but after the ca|stell was woone, he got him to Couentrie, and there was yer long apprehended, and brought to the king, of whom he obteined pardon of life, but yet by the whole consent of the nobles and péeres of the realme, he was exiled the land for euermore, and then went to Rome, where he knew to purchase his pardon ea|silie inough for mony, of what crime soeuer he should be iudged culpable. His wife, bicause she neuer con|sented to his dooings, nor yet willinglie to the mar|riage had betwixt hir and him, was acquited of all blame, and so likewise was his sonne Thomas.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Howbeit at length the foresaid Fouks, hauing obteined his purpose at Rome (by meanes of his chapleine Robert Paslew an Englishman,The end of Fouks [...] Brent. who was his sollicitor there) as he returned towards Eng|land in the yeare insuing, was poisoned and died by the waie, making so an end of his inconstant life, which from the time that he came to yeares of discre|tion was neuer bent to quietnes. Which may be re|ported of him, not to his honour or renowme (for a|las what same is gotten by giuing occasions of euill) but to his euerlasting shame and infamie, for the same shall neuer die, but remaine in perpetuall me|morie, as one saith right well,

H [...]minum immortalis est infamia,Plaut. in P [...]sa.
