Well (said he) then our trauell is come to the wished end: and where our people haue beéne long in armour, let them depart home to their woon|ted trades and occupations: in the meane time let vs drinke togither in signe of agreement, that the people on both sides maie sée it, and know that it is true, that we be light at a point.They had no sooner sha|ken hands togither, but that a knight was sent streight waies from the archbishop, to bring word to the people that there was peace concluded, comman|ding ech man to laie aside his armes, and to resort home to their houses. The people beholding such to|kens of peace, as shaking of hands, and drinking to|gither of the lords in louing manner, they being al|readie wearied with the vnaccustomed trauell of warre, brake vp their field and returned homewards: but in the meane time, whilest the people of the archbi|shops side withdrew awaie, the number of the con|trarie part increased, according to order giuen by the earle of Westmerland; and yet the archbishop per|ceiued not that he was deceiued, vntill the earle of Westmerland arrested both him and the earle mar|shall,
The archbi|shop of Yorke and the earle marshall arre|sted.

with diuerse other. Thus saith Walsingham.Compare 1577 edition: 1 But others write somwhat otherwise of this mat|ter, affirming that the earle of Westmerland in deed, and the lord Rafe Eeuers, procured the archbishop & the earle marshall, to come to a communication with them, vpon a ground iust in the midwaie be|twixt both the armies, where the earle of Westmer|land in talke declared to them how perilous an en|terprise they had taken in hand, so to raise the people, and to mooue warre against the king, aduising them therefore to submit themselues without further de|laie vnto the kings mercie, and his sonne the lord Iohn, who was present there in the field with ba [...]|ners spred, redie to trie the matter by dint of s [...]rd, if they refused this counsell: and therefore he willed them to remember themselues well; & if t [...]y would not yeeld and craue the kings pardon, [...]e bad them doo their best to defend themselues.
Compare 1577 edition: 1 Herevpon as well the archbishop as the earle marshall submitted themselue [...] vnto the king, and to his sonne the lord Iohn that was there present, and returned not to their armie. Wherevpon their troops scaled and fled their waies: but being pursued, manie were taken, manie slaine, and manie spoiled of that that they had about them, & so permitted to go their waies. Howsoeuer the matter was handled, true it is that the archbishop, and the earle marshall were brought to Pomfret to the king, who in this meane while was aduanced thither with his power, and from thence he went to Yorke, whither the priso|ners were also brought, and there beheaded the mor|row after Whitsundaie in a place without the citie,The archbi|shop of Yorke, the earle mar|shall, & others put to death. that is to vnderstand, the archbishop himselfe, the earle marshall, sir Iohn Lampleie, and sir Robert Plumpton. ¶ Unto all which persons though indem|nitie were promised, Abr. Fl. out of Thom. Walsin. Hypod. pag. 168. yet was the same to none of them at anie hand performed. By the issue hereof, I meane the death of the foresaid, but speciallie of the archbishop, the prophesie of a sickelie canon of Brid|lington in Yorkeshire fell out to be true, who darklie inough foretold this matter, & the infortunate euent thereof in these words hereafter following, saieng:
