[1] [2] Whilest the councell treated of sauing or dispat|ching of this duke of Yorke, a rumor sprang through London, that Edward earle of March, sonne and heire apparant to the said duke, with a great armie of Marchmen, was comming toward London: which tidings sore appalled the quéene and the whole coun|cell. Beside this, the verie same daie came ambassa|dours from the cheefe citizens and magistrats of the citie of Burdeaux; whereof the chéefe were, the earle of Kendale, and the lord de Lesparre; which signified to the councell, that if they would send an armie in|to Gascoigne, the people of the countrie would re|uolt from the French part, and eftsoones become English. These two things sore troubled the heads of the councell, which, least inward sedition might hin|der outward conquests,Occasion that set the duke of Yorke frée. set the duke of Yorke at li|bertie, and permitted him to go to his castell of Wig|more, in the marches of Wales, by whose absence the duke of Summerset rose in such high fauour, both with the king and quéene, that his word onelie ruled, and his voice alone was heard.
