Yet the king approching to the skirts of the woods, commanded his soldiers to fier the houses and villages: which was executed with great for|wardnesse of the men of war. And here for some va|liant act that he did, or some other fauourable respect, which the king bare to the lord Henrie sonne to the duke of Hereford, he made him knight. ¶ This Hen|rie was after king of England, succeeding his fa|ther, and called by the name of Henrie the fift. There were nine or ten others made knights also at the same time.

The vncle of Mac|mur hauing a withie or with about his necke, came in and submitted himselfe, and likewise manie other naked and bare legged, so that the king seeming to pitie their miserable state, pardoned them, and after|ward he also sent vnto Macmur, promising that if he would come in and require pardon as his vncle had doone, he would receiue him to mercie: but Macmur vnderstanding that for want of vittels, the king must néeds retire within a short time, he refused the kings offer. The king with his armie remaining in those parts 11 daies, was in the end constreined to come backe, when all their vittels were spent: for more than they brought with them they could not get. They lost manie horsses in this iournie for want of prouision and forrage.
