[1] [2] Maister Martine hearing this, got him to the court, and declaring to the king what message he had recei|ued, required to vnderstand whether he was priuie to the matter, or that his people tooke it vpon them so rashlie without his authoritie or no?The kings answer vnto the popes Nuncio. To whome the king answered, that he had not giuen them any au|thoritie so to command him out of the realme: but indéed (saith he) my barons doo scarselie forbeare to rise against me, bicause I haue mainteined and suffe|red thy pilling and iniurious polling within this my realme, and I haue had much adoo to staie them from running vpon thee to pull thee in peeces. Maister Martine hearing these words, with a fearefull voice besought the king that he might for the loue of God, and reuerence of the pope, haue free passage out of the realme: to whome the king in great displeasure an|swered, The diuell that brought thée in carrie thée out, euen to the pit of hell for me. Matth. Paris. Matth. West. The Popes Nuncio sent out of the realme. Howbeit at length, when those that were about the king had pacified him, he appointed one of the marshals of his house, called Robert North or Nores, to conduct him to the sea side, and so he did, but not without great feare, si|thens he was afraid of euerie bush, least men should haue risen vpon him and murthered him. Wherevp|on, when he came to the pope, he made a greeuous complaint, both against the king and others.
