that by reason thereof, certeine persons were thrust to death: a|mong the which the prior of Tiptrie, a place in Es|sex was one, and a worshipfull matrone in Cornehill an other. The morow after she was conueied to Westminster with all the honor that might be deui|sed, and finallie there crowned queene vpon sun|daie being then the seauenth of Ianuarie. On the two and twentith of Ianuarie was a parlement be|gun at Westminster,The duke of Lancaster his bastards mad [...] legitimate by parlement. in which the duke of Lancaster caused to be legitimated the issue which he had begot of Katharine Swinfort, before she was his wife. ¶At the same time Thomas Beaufort sonne to the said duke, by the said Katharine, was created earle of Summerset. ¶There was an ordinance made in the same parlement, that iustices should not haue anie to sit with them as assistants. ¶Moreouer, there was a tenth granted by the clergie to be paied to the kings vse at two seuerall termes in that present yeare.The iustices reuoked out of exile. In this yeare the king contrarie to his oth reuoked the iustices foorth of Ireland, whom by constraint (as be|fore ye haue heard) he was inforced to banish, there|by to satisfie the noble men that would haue it so.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 In this twentith yeare of his reigne king Richard receiuing the summes of monie (for the which the strong towne of Brest was ingaged to him) by euill counsell (as manie thought) deliuered it vnto the duke of Britaine,Brest yéelded vp to the duke of Britaine. by reason whereof no small sparke of displeasure arose betwixt the king and the duke of Glocester, which kindled vp such a flame (as it was easie to doo) finding matter inough to féed vpon in both their brests, that finallie it could no longer be kept downe, nor by anie meanes quenched. In the moneth of Februarie, the king holding a sumptuous feast at Westminster, many of the soldiors that were newlie come from Brest preased into the hall, and kept a roome togither.Priuie grudge be|twixt the king and the duke of Glo|cester. Whom as the duke of Gloce|ster beheld, and vnderstood what they were, to re|member how that towne was giuen vp contrarie to his mind and pleasure, it grieued him not a little: and therefore as the king was entred into his cham|ber, and few about him, he could not forbeare, but brake foorth, and said to the king: Sir,The talke be|twixt the king and the duke of Glocester. saw ye not those felowes that sate in such number this daie in the hall, at such a table? The king answered that he saw them, and asked the duke what they were? To whom the duke made this answer:

Sir, these be the soldiors that came from Brest, and haue nothing now to take to, nor yet know how to shift for their liuings, and the worse, for that (as I am informed) they haue béene euill paied. Then said the king; That is against my will, for I would that they should haue their due wa|ges; and if anie haue cause to complaine, let them shew the matter to the treasuror, and they shall be reasonablie answered: and herewith he commanded that they should be appointed to foure certeine villa|ges about London, there to remaine,Out of a French pam|phlet. and to haue meate, drinke, and lodging vpon his charges till they were paied.

Compare 1577 edition: 1 2 3 Thus as they fell into reasoning of this matter, the duke said to the king: Sir, your grace ought to put your bodie in paine to win a strong hold or towne by feats of war, yer you take vpon you to sell or deliuer anie towne or strong hold gotten with great aduen|ture by the manhood and policie of your noble proge|nitours. To this the king with changed countenance answered and said:

Uncle, how say you that? And the duke boldlie without feare recited the same a|gaine, not changing one woord in anie better sort. Whervpon the king being more chafed, replied; Sir, EEBO page image 488 thinke you that I am a merchant, or a verie foole, to sell my land? By saint Iohn Baptist no: but truth it is, that our coosine the duke of Britaine hath satisfied vs in all such summes of monie as our progenitors len [...] vnto him, and to his ancestors, vpon gage of the said towne of Brest, for the which reason and con|science will no lesse but that the towne should there|vpon be to him restored.

Upon this multiplieng of woords in such presumptuous maner by the duke a|gainst the king, there kindeled such displeasure be|twixt them, that it neuer ceassed to increase into flames, till the duke was brought to his end.
