But whilest he se|parated himselfe by such earnest following of the Londoners too farre from the residue of the kings armie, he was the onelie cause of the losse of that field: for the earle of Leicester, perceiuing that the prince with the chiefest force of the kings armie was thus gone after the Londoners (of whom he made no great account) he exhorted his people to shew their valiancie at that instant, and so comming vpon his aduersaries with great courage,The kings part put to the worse. Matt. Westm. Nic. Triuer. in a moment put them to flight. There were taken the king of Almaine, the lords Iohn de Burgh and Philip Bas|set with all other the chiefest that were about the king, but the king himselfe retired with those few a|bout him that were left, into the priorie of Lewes, and other there were that withdrew into the castell. The barons pursuing them, entered the towne, and tooke or slue so manie as they found within the castell and priorie. At length, prince Edward returned from the chase of the Londoners, whom he had pursued for the space of foure miles, and finding the field lost, be|gan a new battell: Matth. Paris. but the earle of Surrie, Wil|liam de Valence, and Guy de Lucignan, with Hugh Bigod and others,Seuen hun|dred hath A|bington. Prince Ed|ward com|meth backe to his father. hauing with them thrée hundred armed men, streightwaies fled vnto the castell of Pemsie. Prince Edward then perceiuing slaughter to be made on each hand, cast about the towne, and with his companie got into the priorie to his father.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 In the meane time the barons gaue assault to the castell, but they within valiantlie defended them|selues, with whose hardie dooings prince Edward in|couraged, gathered his people togither againe, and meant e [...]tsoones to giue battell; but the subtill head of the earle of Leicester beguiled them all, for he caused certeine friers to take in hand to be intreators be|twixt them,Fri [...]rs subor|ned to treat a peace. which comming to the king and to the prince his sonne, declared that the barons, to auoid that more christian bloud should not be spilt, would be contented to haue the matter put in compromise of indifferent persons; but if it were so, that the king and his sonne would néeds stand to the vttermost tri|all of battell, they would not faile but strike off the heads of the king of Almaine and other prisoners, which they would set vpon the ends of their speares in stéed of standards.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 The king and his people hauing the respect of pitie before their eies, changed their purposed intent to fight, and falling to a parle (which continued for the most part of all the night next following) at length it was agreed vpon,An agréement taken. Matth. West. that the French king with thrée prelats and three other noble men of the temporaltie, should choose foorth and name two noble men of France, which comming into England should take a third person to them whom they thought good, and they thrée should haue the hearing of all controuer|sies betwixt the king and the barons, and what order so euer they tooke therein, the same should stand, and be receiued for a perfect conclusion and stable decrée. This agréement was confirmed, and prince Edward and Henrie sonne to the king of Almaine were ap|pointed to remaine as hostages with the barons.
