In déed the king after he had dispatched the duke of Glocester, and the other noblemen, was not a little glad, for that he knew them still readie to disappoint him in all his purpo|ses; and therefore being now as it were carelesse, did not behaue himselfe (as some haue written) in such discréet order, Polydor.

By means whereof, the lords of the realme began to feare their owne estates, being in danger of his furious outrage, whome they tooke for a man destitute of sobrietie and wisedome, and ther|fore could not like of him; that so abused his autho|ritie.
