But now all the difficultie was to ap|pease the lord Edward, and to remooue the strangers which he had placed in the castell of Windsore,Strangers kéepe the ca|stell of Wind|sore. which they had not onelie fortified, but also in manner de|stroied the towne, and doone much hurt in the coun|trie round about them. There were to the number of an hundred knights or men of armes (as I may call them) beside a great number of other men of warre. But now after that the king had agréed to the peace, the barons entred the citie on the sundaie before S. Margarets daie; and shortlie after the king came to Westminster with the quéene, and those of his councell. And immediatlie herevpon, by consent of the king and the barons, sir Hugh Spenser was made cheefe iustice and kéeper of the tower. During the time that the lords remained in London, manie robberies and riots were doone within the citie, and small redresse had in correcting the offendors, they were so borne out and mainteined by their maisters and others.
