Compare 1577 edition: 1 In the meane time the duke of Yorke, aduertised of all these things, Whethamsted The duke of Yorke com|meth foorth of Ireland. sailed from Dubline towards England, and landed at the red banke néere to the ci|tie of Chester, with no small companie: and from Chester by long iournies he came to the citie of Lon|don, which he entred the fridaie before the feast of S. Edward the Confessor, with a sword borne naked be|fore him, with trumpets also sounding, and accom|panied with a great traine of men of armes, Whethamsted and o|ther of his fréends and seruants. At his comming to Westminster he entred the palace, and passing foorth directlie through the great hall, staied not till he came to the chamber, where the king and lords vsed to sit in the parlement time,A strange de| [...]nor of the duke of Yorke. cõmonlie called the vpper house, or chamber of the péeres, and being there entred, stept vp vnto the throne roiall, and there laieng his hand vpon the cloth of estate, seemed as if he meant to take possession of that which was his right (for he held his hand so vpon that cloth a good pretie while) and af|ter withdrawing his hand, turned his face towards the people, beholding their preassing togither, and marking what countenance they made.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Whilest he thus stood and beheld the people suppo|sing they reioised to see his presence, the archbishop of Canturburie (Thomas Bourcher) came to him, & after due salutations, asked him if he would come and see the king. With which demand he séeming to take disdaine, answered bréefelie, and in few words thus: I remember not that I know anie within this realme,H [...]s bold spe [...]ch. but that it beséemeth him rather to come and sée my person, than I to go and sée his. The archbi|shop hearing his answer, went backe to the king, and declared what answer he had receiued of the dukes owne mouth. After the archbishop was depar|ted to the king that laie in the quéenes lodging, the duke also departed, and went to the most principall lodging that the king had within all his palace, brea|king vp the lockes and doores, and so lodged himselfe therein, more like to a king than a duke, continuing in the same lodging for a time to the great indigna|tion of manie, that could not in anie wise like of such presumptuous attempts made by the duke, to thrust himselfe in possession of the crowne, and to depose king Henrie, who had reigned ouer them so long a time.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Maister Edward Hall in his chronicle maketh men|tion of an oration, which the duke of Yorke vttered, sitting in the regall seat there in the chamber of the péeres, either at this his first comming in amongst them, or else at some one time after, the which we haue thought good also to set downe: though Iohn Whet|hamsted the abbat of saint Albons, who liued in those daies, and by all likelihood was there present at the parlement, maketh no further recitall of anie words, which the duke should vtter at that time in that his booke of records, where he intreateth of this matter. But for the oration (as maister Hall hath written thereof) we find as followeth. ¶ During the time (saith he) of this parlement, the duke of Yorke with a bold countenance entered into the chamber of the peeres, Edw. Hall. in Hen. 6. fol. clxxvij, &c. and sat downe in the throne roiall, vnder the cloth of estate (which is the kings pe|culiar seat) and in the presence of the nobilitie, as well spirituall as temporall (after a pause made) he began to declare his title to the crowne, in this forme and order as insueth.
