The kings of Spaine and Scotland were comprised in this truce as confe|derats to the Frenchmen, which should haue signified the same into Scotland, but did not, till great harme followed through negligence vsed in that matter, as after yée shall perceiue.

The Scots would not come foorth to giue anie bat|tell to the Englishmen, but got them into woods and mounteines, or else passed ouer the riuer of Firth, suffering the Englishmen to fight with the vehe|ment cold wether that then sore annoied those parts, in so much that on Easter daie at night, through snow that fell, and such extreame cold and boisterous stormes as sore afflicted the armie, being incamped within the compasse of a marish ground for their more suertie there died aboue fiue hundred horsses, to let passe the losse of men that perished at the same time, of whom we make no mention. To conclude,Great death of horsses and men in the English host, by reason of extreme cold. after the duke and his brother the earle had remai|ned a time thus in Scotland, and burned certeine townes, they returned into England.
