Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 Herevpon the Englishmen, perceiuing in what danger they were, and considering that it was in the middest of winter, a time not meet for men of warre to lie in the cold and frostie fields, they returned into England, within fiue monethes after their first set|ting foorth. So that finallie the French king got the vpper hand of the Britons, and did incorporate that duchie to his realme and crowne of France,The duchie of Britaine in|corporated to the realme of France. as in the historie of France it may appeere at large. ¶ In Iulie this yeere was a prest leuied for the king in the citie of London, of foure thousand pounds, which was repaied the yeare next following. In September, the quéene was deliuered at Winchester of hir first sonne, named prince Arthur; Iohn Stow. The birth of prince Ar|thur. and the fiue and twen|tith of Nouember (next insuing) she was crowned at Westminster with all due solemnitie.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 Yée haue heard, how there was in the last parle|ment monie granted for the furnishing foorth of the armie into Britaine; that is to wit, it was agréed, Anno Reg. 4. that euerie man should be taxed after the rate of his substance, to paie the tenth penie of his goods. Which monie the most part of them that dwelled in the bi|shoprike of Durham, and in the parties of Yorke|shire refused vtterlie to paie: either for that they thought themselues ouercharged with the same; or were procured to shew themselues disobedient, tho|rough the euill counsell of some seditious persons, which conspired against the king, to put him to new trouble. Therefore such as were appointed collectors,The collec|tors of the subsidie com|plaine to the earle of Nor|thumberland that they can|not get in the tax monie. after that they could not get the monie, according to their extract deliuered to them by the commissio|ners, they made their complaint priuilie to Henrie the fourth earle of Northumberland, chiefe ruler of the North parts.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 The earle foorthwith signified to the king all that matter, and the king not willing to pardon them of anie one penie (least the example might doo hurt by incouraging others to shew the like stubbornes in o|ther parts of the realme) cõmanded the earle either by distresse or otherwise, to leuie the monie as he should thinke most meet. The rude and beastlie people hea|ring of this answer from the king, by and by with great violence set vpon the earle by the exciting of a simple fellow named Iohn a Chamber,The earle of Northumber|land murthe|red by the northerne re|bels at the in|stigation and setting on of Iohn a Chamber. whome the erle with faire words sought to appease. But they like vnreasonable villaines, alledging all the fault to be in him, as chiefe author of the tax, furiouslie and cru|ellie murthered both him and diuerse of his houshold seruants. Diuerse affirme that the Northerne men bare against this earle continuall grudge euer since the death of king Richard, whome they entirelie fa|uoured.
