And then fell there a great disease and a foul mischief, for there
were three lords which the King trusted much on and through false
covetousness they had purposed and imagined the King's death and
thought to have slain him and all his brethren or that he had taken the
sea, which were named thus--Sir Richard, earl of Cambridge brother to
the duke of York, the second was the lord Scrope Treasurer of England,
the third was Sir Thomas Gray knight of the north country, and these
lords aforesaid, for lucre of money, had made promise to the Frenchmen
for to have slain King Henry and all his worthy brethren by a false
train suddenly or they had beware. But Almighty God of his great grace
held his holy hand over them and saved them from this perilous mien.
And for to have done this they received of the Frenchmen a million of
gold and that there was proved openly. And for their false treason
they were all judged unto the death. And this was the judgement, that
they should be led through Hampton and without Northgate there to be
beheaded, and thus they ended their life for their false covetousness
and treason.
