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.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Diuerse of them made sute to the earle of Nor|thumberland, that it might please him to be a media|tor to the king for their pardon; so that now, there was no rebellion in all the north parts,Rebellion in the north pa|cified. but that as well the citie of Yorke, as all other places, were at the kings commandement, readie in all things to o|beie him as true and loiall subiects. And this was confirmed by the earle of Northumberlands owne mouth,The earle of Northum|berland. who on the fouretéenth of Maie came to the king, as yet remaining at Couentrie: by reason whereof it was not thought néedfull, that the king should trauell anie further northward at that time, either about the pacifieng of the people, or to see exe|cution doone vpon the offendors, sith all was there in good tranquillitie and quiet.
