They landed néere the castell of Barclowlie in Wales,K. Richard returneth out of Ireland, and landeth in Wales. a|bout the feast of saint Iames the apostle, and staied a while in the same castell, being aduertised of the great forces which the duke of Lancaster had got to|gither against him, Thom. Wals. wherewith he was maruellouslie amazed, knowing certeinelie that those which were thus in armes with the duke of Lancaster against him, would rather die than giue place, as well for the hatred as feare which they had conceiued at him. Ne|uerthelesse he departing from Barclowlie, hasted with all speed towards Conwaie, where he vnder|stood the earle of Salisburie to be still remaining.

On the one part he knew his title iust, true, and infallible; and his conscience cleane, pure, and without spot of enuie or malice: he had also no small affiance in the Welsh|men, and Cheshire men. On the other side, he saw the puissance of his aduersaries, the sudden depar|ting of them whom he most trusted, and all things turned vpside downe: he euidentlie saw, and mani|festlie perceiued, that he was forsaken of them, by whom in time he might haue béene aided and relie|ued, where now it was too late, and too farre ouer|passed.
