[1] The king when he saw it was but a vaine thing to staie anie longer in communication with the am|bassadors about peace, departed from Yorke with his puissant armie, and getting knowledge how the Scots were closelie lodged in the woods of Stan|op parke, he came and stopped all the passages, so it was thought that he should haue had them at his pleasure, but through treason (as was after reported) of the lord Roger Mortimer, after that the Scots had béene kept within their lodgings for the space of fiftéene daies, till they were almost famished, they did not onelie find a waie out, but about two hundred of them vnder the leading of the lord William Dou|glas, [...]roissart. The lord Dowglas. assailing that part of the English campe where the kings tent stood, in the night season, missed not much of either taking the king or sleieng him: and hauing doone hurt inough otherwise, as in the Sco|tish chronicle is also touched, they followed their com|panie, and with them returned into Scotland with|out impeachment.
