Compare 1577 edition: 1 Whilest the king laie at Northampton,Simon de Montfort. the lord Simon de Montfort put himselfe vpon the doome and order of the legat Othobone, and was therefore permitted to be at large in the kings court: but at the kings comming to London, he suddenlie depar|ted out of the court, and rode to Winchelsie, where he associated himselfe with rouers, and after some prices taken, departed from them, and went into France, Matth.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The wardens of the cinque ports, Fabian. The war|dens of the fiue ports re|conciled to the king. Matth. West. which (during the time of the barons warre) had doone manie robe|ries on the sea, as well against the Englishmen as other, were at length reconciled to the king, who was faine to agrée with them vpon such conditions as they thought good, bicause at that time (as the cõmon fame went) they had the dominion of the sea in their owne hands. But in some writers we find it thus re|corded, that when certeine prisoners which were kept by the barons of the cinque ports in the castell of Douer, heard how all things prospered on the kings side, they got possession of a tower within the same castell, and tooke vpon them to defend it against their keepers; whereof when aduertisement was giuen to the king and to his sonne the lord Edward, they ha|sted forth to come & succour their freends. The kéepers of the castell,Douer castell deliuered to the king. perceiuing themselues beset with their enimies, sent to the king for peace, who granting them pardon of life and limme, with horsse, armour and other such necessaries, the castell was yeelded vn|to his hands. From thence, prince Edward depar|ting, visited the sea coasts, punishing diuerse of the in|habitants within the precinct of the cinque ports, and putting them in feare, receiued diuerse to the king EEBO page image 272 his fathers peace. The inhabitants of Winchelsie onelie made countenance to resist him, but prince Edward with valiant assaults entred the towne,Winchelsie won by force. in which entrie much guiltie bloud was spilt, but yet the multitude by commandement of prince Edward was spared. And thus hauing woone the towne, he commanded that from thencefoorth they should ab|steine from piracies, which they had before time greatlie vsed. Thus were the seas made quiet, and those of the cinque ports brought to the kings peace, and throughlie reconciled.
