[1] In this solemne councell, diuerse & manie things for the wealth of the realme were debated and con|cluded. And among other it was determined, that the ladie Elizabeth wife to king Edward the fourth,Ladie Eliza|beth late wife to king Ed|ward the fourth, adiud|ged to forfeit all hir lands, for promise-breaking. should loose and forfeit all hir lands and possessions, bi|cause she had voluntarilie submitted hir selfe and hir daughters wholie to the hands of king Richard, con|trarie to hir promise made to the lords and nobles of this realme in the beginning of the conspiracie made against king Richard, whereby she did inough to haue quailed all the purpose of them that ioined with hir in that matter. But though hir fault was gree|uous, yet was it iudged by some men that she deser|ued not by equitie of iustice so great a losse and pu|nishment. Howbeit, this iudgement was altogither affectionate and parciall in hir behalfe; besides that it was reasonable in great measure (all circumstan|ces considered) for she was not lightlie induced to doo as she did, neither stood it with the frailtie of a woman to withstand the temptations of a mightie man, or rather a reaching tyrant.
