Compare 1577 edition: 1 There were found in the abbeie and other places of the towne, Edmund duke of Summerset, Iohn Lonstrother lord prior of S. Iohn, sir Thomas Tres|sham, sir Gerueis Clifton, and diuerse other knights and esquiers, which were apprehended, and all of them being brought before the duke of Glocester, sitting as constable of England, and the duke of Norf|folke, as marshall in the middest of the towne, they were arreigned, condemned, and iudged to die;The duke of Summerset & others behea|ded. and so vpon the tuesdaie, being the seuenth of Maie, the said duke and the lord prior, with the two forenamed knights, and twelue other knights, were on a scaf|fold, set vp in the middle of the towne for that pur|pose, beheaded, and permitted to be buried, without anie other dismembring, or setting vp of their heads in anie one place or other.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The same tuesdaie; the king departed from Teu|kesburie towards Worcester, and by the waie had knowledge that quéene Margaret was found in a poore house of religion, not far from thence,Queéne M [...]garet taken. into the which she was withdrawen for safegard of hir selfe, on saturdaie in the morning, being the daie of the battell. She was after brought to London as priso|ner, EEBO page image 689 and so kept, till hir father ransomed hir with great summes of monie, which he borowed of Lewes the eleuenth king of France. And bicause he was not able to make repaiment thereof, he sold vnto the said Lewes (as the French writers affirme) the king|domes of Naples, and both the Sicils, with the coun|tie of Prouance. King Edward being at Worce|ster, had aduertisements brought foorth of the north|parts, that the people there were about to assemble in armour against him, in fauour of king Henrie: wherevpon he left the right way to London, and rode to Couentrie, meaning to increase the number of his people, and so with a puissant armie to go north|wards.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 Herevpon, comming to Couentrie the eleuenth of Maie, and remaining there thrée daies, he well refreshed such as had béene with him at Teukesbu|rie field. Hither was brought to him queene Marga|ret, from whence she was conueied to London, there to remaine in safe keeping (as before you haue hard.) Whilest he was busie in sending abroad vnto his friends to leauie an armie, he was aduertised that the commotion in the north was pacified. For after it was knowen abroad, how he obteined the victorie, as well at Teukesburie, as at Barnet, and in manner subdued all his enimies, the capteins that had stirred the people to that rebellion, began to quaile, and for|sooke their companies.
