[1] [2] G [...]ucellino and Flisco cardinals.Some write that the said sir Gilbert was put to death for robbing two cardinals, to wit, Gaucellino the popes chancellour, and Lucas de Flisco, that were sent from pope Iohn the two and twentith, to consecrate the foresaid Lewes Beaumont bishop of Durham, Thom. Walsi. and to intreat a peace betwixt the realms of England and Scotland, and also to make an a|gréement betwixt the king and the earle of Lanca|ster. The which being met with vpon Winglesdon moore in Yorkeshire by the said Gilbert, Fabian. Caxton. were robbed of such stuffe & treasure as they brought with them, but yet escaped themselues and came to Durham, and from thence sent messengers to Robert Bruce, Polydor. to persuade him to some agreement. But whereas he would not condescend to any reasonable conditions of peace at that time, they determined to go into Scotland to talke with him themselues: but before they came to the borders, king Robert, who iudged it not to stand with his profit to haue any peace in that season, sent certeine of his people to forbid the cardi|nals the entrie of his realme. The cardinals being thus iniuriouslie handled,The cursse pronounced against the Scots. pronounced the Scots by their legantine power accursed; and interdicted their whole realme. And bicause they saw nothing lesse than any hope to doo good with king Robert touching any composition or agreement to be had, they retur|ned againe to the pope, without any conclusion of that for the which they were sent.
