There with also the duke of Excester rose vp, and willed Bagot that if he could say anie thing against him to speake it openlie. Bagot an|swered, that for his part he could say nothing against him: But there is (said he) a yeoman in Newgat one Iohn hall that can say somewhat.Iohn Hall a yeoman.

Well then (said the duke of Excester) this that I doo and shall say is true, that the late king, the duke of Norfolke, and thou being at Woodstoke, made me to go with you into the chappell, and there the doore being shut, ye made me to sweare vpon the altar, to kéepe counsell in that ye had to say to me, and then ye rehearsed that we should neuer haue our purpose, so long as the duke of Lancaster liued, & therefore ye purposed to haue councell at Lichfield, & there you would ar|rest the duke of Lancaster, in such sort as by colour of his disobeieng the arrest, he should be dispatched out of life. And in this maner ye imagined his death. To the which I answered, that it were conuenient the king should send for his councell, and if they a|gréed herevnto. I would not be against it, and so I departed.

This was on a thursdaie being the fiftéenth of October. On the saturdaie next insuing, sir William Bagot and the said Iohn Hall were brought both to the barre,Bagot and Hall brought to the barre. and Bagot was examined of certeine points, and sent againe to prison. The lord Fitzwa|ter herewith rose vp, and said to the king, that where the duke of Aumarle excuseth himselfe of the duke of Glocesters death, I say (quoth he) that he was the verie cause of his death,The lord Fitzwater appealeth the duke of Au|marle of trea|son. and so he appealed him of treason, offering by throwing downe his hood as a gage to proue it with his bodie. There were twentie other lords also that threw downe their hoods, as pledges to proue the like matter against the duke of Aumarle. The duke of Aumarle threw downe his hood to trie it against the lord Fitzwater, as against him that lied falselie, in that he had charged him with, by that his appeale. These gages were deliue|red to the constable and marshall of England, and the parties put vnder arrest.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 4 5 The duke of Surrie stood vp also against the lord Fitzwater, auouching that where he had said that the appellants were causers of the duke of Glocesters death, it was false, for they were constrained to sue the same appeale, in like manner as the said lord Fitzwater was compelled to giue iudgement a|gainst the duke of Glocester, and the earle of Arun|dell; so that the suing of the appeale was doone by constraint, and if he said contrarie he lied: and there|with he threw downe his hood. The lord Fitzwater answered herevnto, that he was not present in the parlement house, when iudgement was giuen a|gainst them, and all the lords bare witnesse thereof. Moreouer, where it was alledged that the duke of Aumarle should send two of his seruants to Calis, to murther the duke of Glocester, the said duke of Aumarle said, that if the duke of Norfolke affirme it, he lied falselie, and that he would proue with his bo|die, throwing downe an other hood which he had bo|rowed. The same was likewise deliuered to the con|stable and marshall of England, and the king licen|ced the duke of Norfolke to returne, that he might arraigne his appeale. After this was Iohn Hall con|demned of treason by authoritie of the parlement, Fabian. for that he had confessed himselfe to be one of them that put the duke of Glocester to death at Calis, and so on the mondaie following,Iohn Hall ex|ecuted. he was drawne from the Tower to Tiburne, and there hanged, bowelled, headed, and quartered: his head being sent to Calis there to be set vp, where the duke was murthered.
