[1] The duke of Norfolke houered on horssebacke at the entrie of the lists, his horsse being barded with cri|mosen veluet, imbrodered richlie with lions of sil|uer and mulberie trées; and when he had made his oth before the constable and marshall that his quar|rell was iust and true, he entred the field manfullie, saieng alowd:

God aid him that hath the right

, and then he departed from his horsse, & sate him downe in his chaire which was of crimosen veluet, courtined about with white and red damaske. The lord marshall viewed their speares, to see that they were of equall length, and deliuered the one speare himselfe to the duke of Hereford, and sent the other vnto the duke of Norfolke by a knight. Then the herald proclamed that the trauerses & chaires of the champions should be remooued, commanding them on the kings be|halfe to mount on horssebacke, & addresse themselues to the battell and combat.
