Alexander B. of Lincolne. Wil. Malm. or (as some thought) more néere to him in kindred than his nephue, I meane, his sonne. For the said Roger had builded diuerse castels, as at Shierborne, at the Uies, and at Malmesburie. The said Alexander like|wise following his vncles example,Castels built by the bishop of Salisburie. bestowed his monie that way verie fréelie, hauing builded one ca|stell at Newarke, and an other at Sléeford.

In which fraie one of the dukes men was killed, his nephue almost slaine, and the residue of his folkes sore beaten and chased.
