Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 The mondaie after saint Matthews day in Sep|tember, the king held a solemne iusts in Cheapeside, betwixt the great crosse and Soperlane, he with 12 as chalengers answering all defendants that came. This solemne iusts and turnie continued three daies. The quéene with manie ladies being present at the same, fell beside a stage, but yet as good hap would they had no hurt by that fall, to the reioising of ma|nie that saw them in such danger, and yet so luckilie to escape without harme. ¶ Also in a parlement holden at Notingham about saint Lukes tide, sir Roger Mortimer the earle of March was apprehen|ded the seuenteenth day of October within the castell of Notingham, where the king with the two queenes, his mother and his wife, and diuerse other were as then lodged. And though the keies of the castell were dailie and nightlie in the custodie of the said earle of March, and that his power was such, as it was doub|ted how he might be arrested (for he had,Additions [...] N. Triuet. as some writers affirme, at that present in retinue nine score knights, beside esquiers, gentlemen and yeomen) yet at length by the kings helpe, the lord William Mon|tacute, the lord Humfrie de Bohun, and his brother EEBO page image 349 sir William, the lord Rafe Stafford, the lord Robert Ufford, the lord William Clinton, the lord Iohn Neuill of Hornbie, and diuerse other, which had accu|sed the said earle of March for the murther of king Edward the second, found means by intelligence had with sir William de Eland constable of the ca|stell of Notingham, to take the said earle of March with his sonne the lord Roger or Geffrey Mortimer, and sir Simon Bereford, with other.

The manner of his ta|king I passe ouer, bicause of the diuersitie in report thereof by sundrie writers. From Notingham he was sent vp to London with his sonne the lord Ro|ger or Geffrey de Mortimer, sir Simon Bereford, and the other prisoners, where they were committed to prison in the tower. Shortlie after was a parle|ment called at Westminster, chéefelie (as was thought) for reformation of things disordered through the misgouernance of the earle of March. But who|soeuer was glad or sorie for the trouble of the said earle, suerlie the queene mother tooke it most heauilie aboue all other, as she that loued him more (as the fame went) than stood well with hir honour. For as some write,Maister Fox. she was found to be with child by him. They kept as it were house togither, for the earle to haue his prouision the better cheape, laid his penie with hirs, so that hir takers serued him as well as they did hir both of vittels & cariages. Of which mis|vsage (all regard to honour and estimation neglec|ted) euerie subiect spake shame. For their manner of dealing, tending to such euill purposes as they conti|nuallie thought vpon, could not be secret from the eies of the people. And their offense héerein was so much the more heinous, bicause they were persons of an extraordinarie degree, and were the more nar|rowlie marked of the multitude or common people,
