"the sayd Duke was brought out of the Tower of London, with the
axe of the Tower borne before him, with a great number of billes,
gleves, holbardes, and polaxes attending upon him; and was had
from the Tower by water, and having shot London bridge, at five
of the clock in the morning, so came unto Westminster Hall, where
was made in the middle of the Hall a new scaffold, where all the
Lords of the King's Counsaill sate as his judges, and there was
he arraigned and charged with many articles both of treason and
felony. And when after much milde speeche, he had aunsered not
guiltie, he in all humble manner put himselfe to be tryed by his
peeres, who, after long consultation among themselves, gave their
verdict that he was not guiltie of the treason, but of the
felony."
