Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 The English barons not well able to suffer such presumption in strangers, who seemed to haue them in derision, complained to the king, in so much that at length, as well for a reformation hereof, as in o|ther things, a parlement was called (as before you haue heard) first at London, and after reiorned to Oxenford, there to be assembled about the feast of saint Barnabe in the moneth of Iune. This (of some writers) is named Insanum parliamentum,Insanum par|liamentum. that is to say, The mad parlement; for at this parlement (to the which the lords came with great retinues of armed men, for the better safegard of their persons) manie things in the same yeare enacted contrarie to the kings pleasure, and his roiall prerogatiue. For the lords at the first determined to demand the confir|mation of the ancient charter of liberties,The demand of the lords. which his father king Iohn had granted, and he himselfe had so often promised to obserue and mainteine, signifieng plainelie, that they meant to pursue their purpose and intent herein, not sparing either for losse of life, lands or goods, according to that they had mutuallie giuen their faiths by ioining of hands, as the manner in such cases is accustomed. Besides the grant of the great charter, they required other things necessarie for the state of the common-wealth, to be established and enacted.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 It was therefore first enacted, that all the Poicto|uins should auoid the land,Ordinances made. togither with other stran|gers, and that neither the king nor his sonne prince Edward should in anie secret manner aid them a|gainst the people. Moreouer, that the king & his sonne should receiue an oth,An oth exac|ted of the king to stand vnto the decrees and ordinances of that parlement, and withall spéed to restore the ancient lawes and institutions of the realme, which they both did, rather constreined there|vnto by feare, than of anie good will. Thus not onelie the king himselfe, but also his sonne prince Edward receiued an oth, to obserue the ordinances of that parlement. But Iohn earle Warren, and the kings halfe brethren; namelie the earle of Penbroke refu|sed that oth; and likewise the lord Henrie, sonne to the king of Almaine, excused himselfe by his fathers absence, without whose consent he would not receiue it, vnto whome this answer was made, that if his fa|ther would not consent to the agréement of the baro|nage, he should not possesse one furrowe of land within this realme.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Also, whereas the earle of Leicester resigned the castels of Killingworth and Odiham into the kings hands, which he had latelie receiued by his gift, and newlie repaired, the earle of Penbroke and his other brethren sware déepelie, that they would for no mans pleasure giue ouer such castels, rents, and wardships of theirs, as they had of the kings gift. But the earle of Leicester told the earle of Penbroke flatlie and plainlie, that he should either render them vp,The earle of Leicester threatneth the earle of Penbroke. or else he should be sure to lose his head. This saieng was confirmed by the generall voices of all other the ba|rons, bicause it was a speciall article concluded a|mongst other in that parlement. The kings halfe brethren, perceiuing which waie the world went,The kings halfe brethren shift awaie. stood in doubt of themselues, and secretlie therevpon de|parting from Oxenford, first withdrew vnto Win|chester, where Odomare, one of the same brethren was bishop, through whose support, and by reason of the strength of such castels as he held, they trusted to be in more safetie: but finallie, perceiuing them|selues not to be so out of danger, sith the barons min|ded to pursue them,They depart the Realme. about the eighteenth daie of Iu|lie they departed the realme with a great number of other of their countriemen; and amongest those, William de saint Herman the kings caruer was one.
