[1] [2] [3] The duke of Lancaster re|turneth into Englãd foorth of Gascoigne.In Nouember, the duke of Lancaster came foorth of Gascoigne into England, after he had remained first in Spaine, and after in Gascoigne, thrée yeares togither. Of his successe in Spaine is spoken before, & likewise of the agréement betwixt the king of Ca|st [...]le, & the said duke, which was not in all points con|firmed, till a little before his returne now into Eng|land.A councell hol+den at Reding where ye duke of Lancaster reconcileth the king and the lords. About the same time the king had called a coun|cell of his nobilitie at Reading, to the which the duke of Lancaster made the more hast to come, bicause he knew that the king would shew no good countenance to some of the noblemen; and therefore he doubted least malicious offenses might arise betwixt them, which to appease he meant the best he could, and his trauell came to good effect: for he did so much, that as well the king as the lords departed from the councell as freends, the lords taking their leaues of him in lo|uing maner, and he courteouslie bidding them fare|well: and so each of them resorted vnto their homes well pleased for that present. ¶ The king held his Christmasse this yéere at Woodstoke, and the duke of Lancaster laie at his castell of Hertford.
