[1] [2] Scarselie had he made an end of his tale, when suddenlie a fearefull alarum was raised thorough|out the citie: for whilest Flotman was thus in talke with the king of armes at Pockethorpe gate, the re|bels in great rage entring the citie by the hospitall,The rebels enter the citie. went about to bring all things to destruction: but being incountered néere to the bishops palace, by the lord marquesse his men, there insued a bloudie con|flict betwixt them, which continued long with great fiercenesse and eger reuenge on both parts. There died about seuen score of the rebels, and of the soldi|ers that serued against them some number, beside a great multitude that were hurt and wounded on both parts.The lord Sheffeld wofullie slaine. But the pitifull slaughter of the lord Sheffeld, who hauing more regard to his honor than safetie of life, desirous to shew some proofe of his no|ble valiancie, entering amongst the enimies, as he fought right hardilie, though not so warilie as had béene expedient, fell into a dich as he was about to turne his horsse: & herewith being compassed about with a number of those horrible traitors, was slaine amongest them: although he both declared what he was, and offered largelie to the vilans, if they would haue saued his life. But the more noble he shewed himselfe to be, the more were they kindled in outra|gious furie against him. And as he pulled off his head péece, that it might appeare what he was, a butcher|lie knaue named Fulks, who by occupation was both a carpenter & a butcher, slat him in the head with a club, and so most wretchedlie killed him. A lamen|table case, that so noble a yoong gentleman, indued with so manie commendable qualities, as were to be wished in a man of his calling, should thus mise|rablie end his daies by the hands of so vile a vilan.
