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.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 On wednesdaie following, Iohn Stow. The request of the com|mons. request was made by the commons, that sith king Richard had resigned, and was lawfullie deposed from his roiall dignitie, he might haue iudgement decréed against him, so as the realme were not troubled by him, and that the causes of his deposing might be published through the realme for satisfieng of the people: which demand was granted. Wherevpon the bishop of Carleill, Hall. A bold bishop and a faith|full. a man both learned, wise, and stout of stomach, boldlie shewed foorth his opinion concerning that demand; affirming that there was none amongst them woor|thie or meet to giue iudgement vpon so noble a prince as king Richard was, whom they had taken for their souereigne and liege lord, by the space of two & twen|tie yeares and more;

And I assure you (said he) there is not so ranke a traitor, nor so errant a théef, nor yet so cruell a murtherer apprehended or deteined in pri|son for his offense, but he shall be brought before the iustice to heare his iudgement; and will ye procéed to the iudgement of an anointed king, hearing neither his answer nor excuse? I say, that the duke of Lan|caster whom ye call king, hath more trespassed to K. Richard & his realme, than king Richard hath doone either to him, or vs: for it is manifest & well knowne, that the duke was banished the realme by K. Richard and his councell, and by the iudgement of his owne father, for the space of ten yeares, for what cause ye know, and yet without licence of king Richard, he is returned againe into the realine, and (that is woorse) hath taken vpon him the name, title, & preheminence of king. And therfore I say, that you haue doone ma|nifest wrong, to procéed in anie thing against king Richard, without calling, him openlie to his answer and defense.
