Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 The parlement being thus ended,The king go|eth to Can|turburie. the king and quéene went to Canturburie, there to visit the shrine of Thomas Becket somtime archbishop there. From thence he went to the Ile of Tenet, that he might meet with his deare & welbeloued councellour Hugh Spenser the yoonger, whome he had of late sent in ambassage vnto the French king,He commeth to talke with the lord cham|berlaine. and now being re|turned by sea into those parts, he was desirous to see him, that he might haue conference with him: and so comming togither, they spent certeine daies in com|moning of such matters as they thought good. The king calling to him the mariners of the cinque ports, committed to them the custodie of the said Hugh, who for a time kept him with them in their ships, and the king sailing alongst the coast to Por|chester, conferred with him of manie things.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 From Porchester the king ment to returne vnto London, there to méet the quéene, who in hir returne from Canturburie would haue lodged one night in the castell of Léeds, which the lord Bartholomew de Badelismere late steward of the kings house had by exchange of the king for other lands, and now taking part with the barons, had left his wife and children with other of his fréends and treasure in the same castell.The quéene not suffered to lodge in the castell of Léeds. Those that were put in trust with keeping this castell, would neither permit quéene nor other to en|ter therein, without expresse commandement from their lord and maister, and so they signified not one|lie to the quéenes seruants that came before to make prouision for hir, but also declared the same to hir selfe comming thither in person.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 This chanced verie vnluckilie for the barons: for where the queene had euer sought to procure peace, loue and concord betwixt the king and his lords, shée tooke such displeasure with this deniall made to hir for one nights lodging in that castell, that vpon hir gréeuous complaint sent to the king, he foorthwith raised a mightie armie out of Kent and Essex, from the cinque ports, and of the Londoners, and hauing with him his brethren, Thomas earle Marshall, and Edmund earle of Kent, also the earls of Richmond, Penbroke, Arundell, and Atholl, he hasted thither,The king be|siegeth the ca|stell of Léeds. & laid siege about the castell; constreining them within by all meanes that might be deuised.
