[1] Wil. Malm. Polydor. Matt. Paris. Alberike de Uéer plea|deth the kings cause.In the meane time, namelie on the first daie of September, a councell was holden at Winchester, wherein earle Alberike de Ueer pleaded with great eloquence the kings case, in excuse of his fault for imprisoning the bishops, which was sore laid to his charge by his owne brother the bishop of Winche|ster, being also the popes legat: who (togither with the archbishop of Canturburie and other bishops) had called this councell for that purpose. Howbeit they got nothing of the king but faire words, and promi|ses of amendment in that which had béene doone o|therwise than equitie required, which promises were vtterlie vnperformed, and so the councell brake vp.
