[1] A conspiracie to set priso|ners at li|bertie.In the same yeare, there was a great conspiracie practised by certein persons that had taken part with the barons in the late warres, purposing to set at li|bertie in one selfe night, all those noble men and o|thers, that were by the king kept in prison for that quarrell. Certeine therefore of those conspirators came to the castell of Walingford, within the which the lord Maurice Berkelie, and the lord Hugh Aud|lie remained as prisoners. The conspirators found shift to enter the castell by a posterne gate towards the Thames side, howbeit not so secretlie but that the townesmen hauing knowledge thereof, assembled togither, and besieged them that were so entred the castell, till the earles of Kent and Winchester came with a great power to reenforce the siege, so that in the end, they that had made this attempt fled into the chappell of the castell, in hope to be saued through sanctuarie of the place, but they were (against the willes of the deane and preests of the colledge there that sought to defend them) taken foorth by force, so that sir Iohn de Goldington knight,Sir Iohn Goldington. sir Edmund of the Bech chapleine, and an esquire called Roger Walton, were sent to Pomfret, and there put in pri|son; the esquire was after sent to Yorke, and there drawne and hanged. This enterprise caused all other prisoners to be more streightlie looked vnto.
