Compare 1577 edition: 1 All such the inhabitants as were strangers borne, and suspected to fauour either of the parties, were ba|nished the citie, but within a while after, prince Ed|ward set them or the most part of them in offices within the castell of Windsore. On the saturdaie next after the translation of saint Benet, as the quéene would haue passed by water from the tower vnto Windsore,The misde|meanor of lewd persons towards the quéene. a sort of lewd naughtipacks got them to the bridge, making a noise at hir, and crieng; Drowne the witch, threw downe stones, cudgels, dirt, and other things at hir, so that she escaped in great danger of hir person, fled to Lambeth, and through feate to be further pursued, landed there, and so she staied till the maior of London with much adoo appesing the furie of the people, repaired to the quéene and brought hir backe againe in safetie vnto the tow|er. And (as some write) bicause the king would not suffer hir to enter againe into the tower, Chron. Dunst. the maior conueied hir vnto the bishop of Londons house by Paules, and there lodged hir.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The barons in this meane time hauing got the citie of Worcester and Bridgenorth, Manh. West. with other pla|ces, were come into the south parts, to the end that they might win the castell of Douer, and find some meanes to set the lord Henrie (sonne to the king of Almaine that was prisoner beyond the seas) at liber|tie. In the meane time the bishops of Lincolne, Lon|don and Chester, Chron. Dunst. Bishops tra|uell to make peace. trauelled betwixt the king and ba|rons for a peace; but the barons would not agree, ex|cept that the king and queene would first cause the lord Henrie to be set at libertie, and deliuer into their hands the castels of Windsore, Douer, and other for|tresses, and send awaie all the strangers, and take such order that the prouisions of Oxenford might be obserued, as well by the king as others.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The king although these conditions seemed verie hard and displeasant to his mind, yet was he driuen to such an extremitie that he granted to accept them, and so an agreement was made and had betwixt him and the lords. But now all the difficultie was to ap|pease the lord Edward, and to remooue the strangers which he had placed in the castell of Windsore,Strangers kéepe the ca|stell of Wind|sore. which they had not onelie fortified, but also in manner de|stroied the towne, and doone much hurt in the coun|trie round about them. There were to the number of an hundred knights or men of armes (as I may call them) beside a great number of other men of warre. But now after that the king had agréed to the peace, the barons entred the citie on the sundaie before S. Margarets daie; and shortlie after the king came to Westminster with the quéene, and those of his councell. And immediatlie herevpon, by consent of the king and the barons, sir Hugh Spenser was made cheefe iustice and kéeper of the tower. During the time that the lords remained in London, manie robberies and riots were doone within the citie, and small redresse had in correcting the offendors, they were so borne out and mainteined by their maisters and others.
