Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 There were diuerse men of good worship that mainteined this Pateshull, and caused a transcript of this libell to be written foorth, affirming all to be true that was therein mentioned.The fauou|rers of frier Pateshull. Amongst other that thus fauoured this cause, were diuerse knights, as sir William Neuill, Sir Lewes Clifford, sir Iohn Clanbowe, sir Richard Sturrie, and sir Thomas La|timer, and the chéefest of all was one sir Iohn Mon|tacute, EEBO page image 456 who caused all the images to be taken downe and set aside in corners, which Iohn Aubreie, and his successour sir Ala [...]e Buxhull, or any their ancestors had set vp in their chappell of Cheneleie. ¶ About the same time, the duke of Ireland sought to be diuorsed from his lawfull wife, a trim yoong ladie, daughter to the ladie Isabell, that was one of king Edward the third his daughters; and tooke to wife one Lance|grone a Bohemer one of the quéenes maids; by rea|son whereof, great occasion of slander and reproch grew, and diuerse lords, speciallie the duke of Gloce|ster, that was vncle to the ladie that was forsaken, tooke great displeasure herewith. But sith the king allowed of all the duke of Irelands dooings, the duke of Glocester dissembled such iniuries doone to his neece for the time, till opportunitie might serue to re|uenge the same.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 The duke of Ireland vnderstood all these things, and therefore was the more circumspect for his owne safetie, and studied how by some meanes he might dispatch the duke of Glocester out of the waie, as the man whom he most feared; least his life should be his destruction, by one means or other. Easter was now past, the time (as ye haue heard) appointed before the which the duke of Ireland should haue transported o|uer into Ireland, & yet was he not set forward. But least somewhat might be thought in the matter, and for feare of some stir to be raised by the lords of the realme, that wished him gone, according to the order prescribed at the last parlement,Dissention betwixt the king & the nobles. the king as it were to bring him to the water side, went with him into Wales, where being out of the waie, they might de|uise how to dispatch the duke of Glocester, the earles of Arundell, Warwike, Derbie, and Notingham, with others of that faction. There were with the king, beside the duke of Ireland Michaell de la Poole earle of Suffolke, Robert Trisilian lord chiefe iustice, and diuers other, which doubtfull of their owne safegards did what they could (as writers report) to mooue the king forward to the destruction of those noblemen. After the king had remained in those parties a good while,1388 Anno Reg. 11. he returned, and brought the duke of Ireland backe with him againe so that it seemed his voiage into Ireland was now quite forgotten.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Grafton. About the same time, Robert Trisilian lord chiefe iustice of England came to Couentrie, and indicted there two thousand persons. The king and the quéene came to Grobie, and thither came by his commande|ment the iustices of the realme. There were also with him at the same time, Alexander archb. of Yorke, Ro|bert Ueere duke of Ireland, Michaell de la Poole earle of Suffolke,Certeine questions in law deman|ded of the iustices. Robert Trisilian, & his fellowes; of whom it was demanded, if by the lawes of the realme the king might reuoke the ordinances made in the last parlement, to the which he had giuen his consent in manner by constraint; and they made an|swer that he might. Then were the iustices comman|ded to come vnto Notingham, where the king ap|pointed to meet them, and thither he came according to his appointment, and held a solemne councell in the castell of Notingham,A councell [...] at Notingham. the morrow after S. Bar|tholomews day.
