In the Cottonian MS. is the following copy of the letter from queen
Isabel and prince Edward:
"Isabel, by the grace of God quene of England, ladie of Ireland and

"In this yere Edward Bailolle, the son of John Bailolle sometyme kyng
of Scotland, came into England chalengyng his right heritage, that is
to sey, the kingdome of Scotland; with whome many grete lordes of
England went into Scotland, and at Domfrevelyn arrividden, where fast
by an abbeie ij m^{l} of Englisshemen discomfited xij m^{l} of

NOTE M. page 58.
In the copy in the Cottonian MS. this event is said to have occurred
in the _fifteenth_ year of Edw. III.--"Also this same yere, that is to
seye the xv yere of his reigne of England, was the first yere of his
reigne of France, and he came fro Tourney."
NOTE N. page 64.
"This yere [A^{o}. xxxiiij. Edw. III.] the blode all fresshe flowid

the kyng chose his sepulture at Westmynstre. Also this yere, the yere
of oure lord m^{l} iij^{c} lx, the xiiij day of Aprile and the morn
after day, the kyng Edward with his hoste lay about Paris," &c. as is
related in the text to have occurred in the _thirty-fifth_ year of
Edward III., though the king's expedition to Calais against the regent
of France is stated to have occurred in the _thirty-fourth_ year.
NOTE M. page 67.
The sheriff called in the text Adam Wymondham, stands as Adam
Wymbyngham in the Cottonian MS.; and though the death of dame Blaunch
duchess of Lancaster is there mentioned, no notice occurs of the
pestilence.
NOTE N. page 70.
The following is the account of the events in this year [A^{o}. xlix.
Edw. III.], in the copy in the Cottonian MS.--"In this yere, at the
towne of Brugges in Flaundres, was tretid upon diverse articles
hangynge atwixt the pope and kyng Edward. Also the same tyme at
Brugges was tretid for a peas bitwixt the ij realmes Fraunce and
England. Also this yere deide William Witlesey archebisshop of
Caunterburye, and the monkes chose the cardinall of England; and the
kyng was wroth therwith, and wolde not consent therto, ne the pope nor
cardinall; and so Maister Symon succedid."
NOTE O. page 71.
The only event noticed in the copy in the Cottonian MS. in the 51st
Edw. III. is the death of Edward prince of Wales, and his burial at
Canterbury.
NOTE P. page 71.
It is singular that in both MSS. the events mentioned in the text, as
well as the death of Edward the Third, are said to have occurred in
the _fifty-second_ year of that monarch's reign, for he died in the
_fifty-first_ year, namely on the 21st of June 1377. The commencement
of his reign is always calculated from the 25th of January 1327, when
his father resigned the crown.
NOTE Q. page 77.
A^{o}. ix. Richard II.--The copy in the Cottonian MS. only states
under this year, that "This yere, the yere of oure lord m^{l} iij^{c}
and iiij^{xx} and vj, kyng Richard went into Scotland with a roial
power."
NOTE R. page 79.
A^{o}. xiv. Richard II.--No other circumstance is mentioned under this
year in the Cottonian MS., than the following,
"In this yere was the good man at the litle Condit mordred."
NOTE S. page 80.
The occurrences mentioned in the text as having taken place in the
15th of Richard II. are in the Cottonian MS. assigned to the following
year; but no notice is taken under either year of "the pley of S^{t}.
Katerine."
NOTE T. page 80.
King Richard's expedition into Ireland in the 18th year of his reign,
is not noticed in the copy in the Cottonian MS.
NOTE U. page 81.
The Cottonian MS. adds, that the earl of Arundel was beheaded at Tower
hill, "in the same place where S^{r}. Symon of Burelle was bihedid.
And the duke of Gloucestre the kyngs uncle was foule murdred at
Caleis, in the Princes inne, with ij towailis made snarewise, and put
about his necke. And therle of Warwik and lord Cobham were dampned to
perpetuall prison;" which is stated in the text to have occurred in
the 21st of Ric. II. "And the parliament was enjourned to Shrowesbury,
unto the xv day of seint Hillarie, where it was endid, and where moch
people were disheritid."
NOTE X. page 83.
Instead of the words "and of Braybroke &c." the following occur in the
copy in the Cottonian MS.
"and of the bisshop of London, Braybroke, putten a supplicacion to the
kyng, the tenor wherof foloweth in this fourme;
"To our full excellent right doutful sovereigne and ful graciouse lord

NOTE Y. page 83.
"And than after the presentacion of the seid supplicacion, there were
made many blank chartres; and alle the men of every crafte of the cite
as wele allowes and servaunts as the maisters, were charged to come to
the Yeldhalle, to set there sealis to the seid blank chartres." But
the disturbance "by Chestreschire men in Fryday strete," mentioned in
the text, is not noticed.
NOTE Z. page 91.
"And also Sir John Cornewaile, Sir Richard of Arundell, the son of Sir
John Cheyne and other Frensshemen."
NOTE AA. page 92.
"And holde the righte wey of Holy Chirche, and hym shulde want no

enfourmed hym the feith of Holy Chirche, and the prior of seynt
Barthemew" &c.
NOTE BB. page 94.
The copy in the Cottonian MS. adds, "And about the fest of seint
Laurence the duke of Clarence seilid into Fraunce, to help the duke of
Orliaunce," but it takes no notice of the arrival of the prince and
his attendants in London, or of the departure of the duke of Clarence,
the duke of York, &c. to Southampton.
NOTE CC. page 96.
The mayor and sheriffs mentioned in the text and in the copy in the
Cottonian MS., as having served those offices in the 14th Hen. IV.,
are in the latter also assigned to the 1st Hen. V.; whilst the mayor
and sheriffs stated in the text to have served in the 1st Hen. V., are
in the latter attributed to the 2nd year of that monarch's reign. But
there is manifestly much confusion respecting the year of the king's
reign in which the events occurred, in the copy from which the text
has been taken, and which will again be alluded to in a future note.
NOTE DD. page 96.
The copy in the Cottonian MS. adds, "And were put in his owne
sepulture that he made himself, with quene Anne his wiffe." This is
the only circumstance mentioned under the 1st Hen. V. in that MS.: and
under the 2nd Hen. V., the transactions concerning Sir John Oldcastle
&c., which in the text are stated to have occurred in the preceding
year, are related.
NOTE EE. page 99.
In the Cottonian MS. under the _third_ year of Hen. V., and when the
mayor and sheriffs mentioned in the text as serving in the 2nd Hen. V.
are stated to have held those offices, the king's expedition is
properly noticed. This error cannot be explained in any other manner
than by attributing it to the transcriber; for it is notorious that
Henry quitted England, besieged and captured Harfleur, and fought the
battle of Agincourt, in the _third_ year of his reign. The account of
that expedition is so differently related from that in the text, that
it is here given at length.
"The kyng with alle his hoste seiled over the see with ij m^{l}
shippis and mo; and the xvj day of August a litle from Harflete he
landid: and the Saturday next after thassumpcion of oure lady he leide
siege about Harflete, and contynued the sege unto the Sonday next
before the fest of seint Michel, upon which Sonday the towne of
Harflete was delyvered to the king, that was the xxij day of
Septembre. But it is to wite, that on Tuesday bifore, that was the
xvij day of Septembre, at xij of the belle wythynne nyght, the lordes
that were capteynes and governours of the towne, that is to sey the
lord Gaucourt, the lord Tutvill, and mo other lordes, senten out an
haraude of armes unto the duke of Clarence, praiyng him at the
reverence of God that he wolde send to the kyng, bisechyng hym that he
wolde of his high and gracious lordship, graunt them leve to trete
with what persones that the kyng wolde assigne to them. And the kyng
at the reverence of God, and at there request, assigned therle of
Dorset, the lord Fitz Hugh, and S^{r}. Thomas of Erpyngham, to here
what thei wolde desire. And thei desired that the kyng wold not werre
upon them fro that houre at mydnyght, unto the Sonday next after the
fest of seint Michel; and but it were so that thei were rescued by
bataile of the Frensshe kyng or with the dolphyn by that day, thei to
yelde the towne to the kyng, and thei to have theire lives and goodes.
And the kyng sent them worde that if thei wolde delyver the towne on
the morwe next after the houre of mydnyght aforseid, without any
condicion, he wolde accepte it, and in any other wise he bad them seke
no trete. And yet the Frensshe lordes praied oure lordes to biseke the
kyng at the reverence of God and of oure lady, that he wolde graunte
them that same Tuesday nyght, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday,
and the Sonday til an houre after none: and in that meane tyme the
lordes that were capitayns of the towne, to come to the kyng with xxij
knyghts and squyers with them, of the moost sufficient men withyn the
towne, and thei to be sworen openly afore alle the people upon Goddis
body. But it so were that the Frensshe kyng or the dolphyn rescued
them by that Sonday, by the houre of none or anon after none, thei to
delyver the towne to the kyng, and alle there bodies and goodes to
done with them whatsoever him list, without eny condicion, with that
the kyng wolde suffre them to send to the Frensshe kyng viij persones
out of the towne, lettyng him wite in what plite thei stond: and they
graunted them. And upon the Wednesday by the morowe these lordes comen
out of the towne, and xxij knyghts with them; and come the procession
solempnely and stately, with xxiiij copis of a sute before Goddis
body, with many worshipful lordes, knyghts, and squyers, and other
moch multitude of people fro the kings tent, as solempnely done and as
stately as any man saugh ever such a thing done bifore that time; but
the kyng was not there present. And the Frenssh lordes there made
there othes upon the holy sacrament. And the othes thus done, the
Frensshe lordes with theire felauship were brought to the kyngs tents,
and there thei eten in the kyngs halle: but in all this tyme thei sawe
not the kyng. And when thei had eten, they were departid and delyvered
to certen lordes for to in hostage unto the Sonday at the houre after
none, as it was accordid whan thei received. And at the houre on
Sonday after none, the kyng had a tent pight on an hille bifore the
towne, and there he sate in his estate roial, and al his lordis about
hym; and than came the Frensshe lordes with iij^{xx} and iiij with
them, of the moost sufficient men that were withynne the towne, and to
the kyng in his propre persone yelded up the keies of the towne, and
there bodies and goodes to the kyngs grace without eny condicion: and
this was done the xxij day of Septembre, the yere of oure lord m^{l}
iiij^{c} xv. And anon after that, the kyng ostered from thens xxj
daies thurgh the realme of Fraunce, fro Harflete toward Caleys; and
the Friday, that is to sey the day of the holy seints Crispyn and
Crispinian, alle the roial power of Fraunce, excepte the Frenssh kyng,
the dolphyn, the duke of Bourgoyne, and the duke of Barre were bifore
the kyng in his heigh weie, as he shulde passe to Caleis, faire
embatailed in iij batailes, to the nombre of lx m^{l} men of armes,
and the fairist armed men that eny man saugh ever in any place. And
the kyng seyng wele that thei wolde not suffre hym to passe withouten
bataile, seid to his title mayny, 'Sires and felawes, the yonder men
letten us of oure wey; and if thei wol com to us, let every man preve
hymself a good man this day, and avaunt banere in the best tyme of the
yere.' And he rode furth with his basnet upon his hedde, and all other
men of armes went upon theire fete a fast paas in holle arraie, an
Englisshe myle er thei assemblid. And thrugh the grace of God the kyng
made his heigh wey thrugh the thikkest prees of alle the bataile. And
there was slayne the duke of Launson, the duke of Braban, the duke of
Bare, vj erles, the constable of Fraunce, the seneschall of Henaude,
the maister Arblaster, and of other lordes grete plente. And there was
take the duke of Orliaunce, the duke of Burbon, the counte of
Richmond, the counte Ewe, the marschal Sir Bursequant, and many other
lordes and knyghts. And there were slayne of Frensshemen v m^{l}, and
of al estats of Englisshemen passid not xxviij persones. And of estats
of thenglisshe, the duke of Yorke, therle of Suffolke, ij knyghts, and
Davy Game; and of gentilmen no moo. And the xxiiij day of Novembre the
kyng with all his prisoners came to London in good prosparite. Also
this same yere bigan the general counsell at Custance."
NOTE FF. page 103.
The arrival of the emperor is differently noticed in the copy in the
Cottonian MS.
"This yere [A^{o}. iv. Hen. V.] the vij day of Maij came themperour of
Almayne, Segismundus, to London; and the fest of seint George was
deferrid til his comyng, and than solempnely holden at Wyndisore: and
at the procession the kyng went on the upper side of themperour, and
so alle the masse tyme stode in the higher place, and at mete he sate
on the right side of themperour; and the duke of Bedford, and the
chaunceller of England, and the bisshop of Develyn, sate on the lefte
side of themperour: and the duke of Briga and another duke of
themperours compeigny sate upon the kings side; and all these saten on
that oon side of the table. And the first sotelte was oure lady armyng
seint George, and an angel doyng on his spores; the ij^{de} sotelte
was seint George ridyng and fightyng with the dragon, with his spere

the kynges doughter ledynge the lambe in at the castel gates. And all
these sotelties were served to the emperor and to the kyng, and no
ferther: and other lordes were served with other sotelties after
theire degrees. And the same tyme duke William of Holand came into
England; but he was not at that fest. Also the emperour laye at
Westminster the tyme that he abode in England; and the duke of Holand
laie at the bisshop of Elies place. And after Midsomer the duke of

brought our lordes to the same place, where either of these lordes
token live of other. And than the kyng retorned ageyne into England;
and themperour seiled into Holand, and so passid furth into

[Then follows the treaty alluded to, which extends to eleven folios,
but it is not of sufficient interest to require insertion.]
"Which castel was delyvered up and yolden to the kyng in manner and
