West. & repaire eue|rie man to his home; but they fearing the malice of their enimies, would not breake in sunder, but kéep|ing togither, went strait to Bristowe, and there re|mained, till the lord Edward the kings sonne was escaped out of captiuitie. But this is to be remem|bred, that before their departure from Tunbridge, when by report of William de Saie, N. Triuet. who escaping from the battell at Lewes, was come thither, they vnderstood how the matter had passed on both sides, and that the Londoners being chased out of the field, were lodged at Croidon,The Londo|ners spoiled at Croidon. about the euening tide they came thither, and assailing them in their lodgings, slue manie, and wan a great spoile. The earle of Leicester and the barons hauing the rule of the king and realme in their hands, sought to oppresse all such as they knew to be against them, and not to like of their procéedings; namelie, the northerne lords, and those of the marshes of Wales, as the lord Morti|mer and others: but waxing herewith wilfull, they vsed things with small discretion, which at length brought them to confusion.
