And for somuch as by the circumstances of their writings, it should séeme they kept the remembrance of the same battell per|fectlie registred, we haue in this place onelie shewed what other writers haue recorded of that matter, and left that which the Scotish chronicles write, to be seene in the life of king Dauid, without much abridg|ing therof.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The queene of England being certeinelie infor|med that the king of Scots was taken, & that Iohn Copland had conueied him out of the field, no man vnderstood to what place, she incontinentlie wrote to him, commanding him foorthwith to bring his priso|ner king Dauid vnto hir presence:Iohn Cop|land refuseth to deliuer the K. of Scots. but Iohn Cop|land wrote to hir againe for a determinate answer, that he would not deliuer his prisoner the said king Dauid vnto any person liuing, man or woman, ex|cept onelie to the king of England, his souereigne lord and master. Herevpon the quéene wrote letters to the king, signifieng to him both of the happie victo|rie chanced to his people against the Scots, and also of the demeanor of Iohn Copland, in deteining the Scotish king. King Edward immediatlie by letters commanded Iohn Copland to repaire vnto him where he laie at siege before Calis,Iohn Cop+land rew [...]|ded. which with all con|uenient spéed he did, and there so excused himselfe of that which the queene had found hirselfe greeued with him, for deteining the king of Scots from hir, that the king did not onelie pardon him, but also gaue to him fiue hundred pounds sterling of yearelie rent, to him & to his heires for euer, in reward of his good seruice and valiant prowes, and made him esquire for his bodie, commanding him yet vpon his re|turne into England to deliuer king Dauid vnto the queene, which he did, and so excused himselfe also vnto hir, that she was therewith satisfied and contented. Then the quéene, after she had taken order for the safe kéeping of the king of Scots, and good gouerne|ment of the realme, tooke the sea and sailed ouer to the king hir husband still lieng before Calis.
