¶How kynge Edwarde that was kynge Henryes sone.
ANd after this kyng Henry regned Ed¦warde hys sone the worthyes knyght of the worlde in honour / for goddes grace was in hym / for he had the vyctorye of hys enmyes & as soone as hys fader was deed / he came to London with a noble company of prelates / er¦les and barons / and all mē dyd hym moche ho¦nour. For in euery place ye syr Edwarde rode in London / the stretes were couered ouer hys heed with sylke of tapiscery / and other riche co¦uerynges. And for Ioye of his comynge / the burgeys of the Cyte caste out at theyr wyndo∣wes golde and syluer hondes full / in tokenyn∣ge of loue and worshyp / seruyce and reueren¦ce. And out of condyte of Chepe ranne whyte wyne and reed / as stremes both of the water / and euery man dranke therof ye wolde at theyr owne wyll. & this kyng Edwarde was crow∣ned and enoynted as ryght heyer of Englonde with moche honour. And after masse ye kynge wente in to his place to holde a ryall feest amō¦ge them that dyde hym honour. And whan he was sette to meete / The kynge Alexander of Scotlonde came to do hym honour and reue∣rence / with a q••eyntesye & an hondred knygh∣tes with hym well horsyd & arayde. And whan they were alyght of theyr stedes / they lete the∣ym go whether they wolde / & who that myght take them tooke at theyr owne wyll / wythout ony chalenge·r And after came syre Edmonde kynge Edwardes brother a curteys knyght & a gentyll of renowne / & the erle of Corne wayll¦le / and the erle of Glocestre. And after thenne came the erle of Penbroke / & the erle of Garen¦ne. And eche of them by themself ladde in the¦yr honde an hondred knyghtes gayly dysgysed in theyr armes. And whan they were alygh∣ted of theyr horses / they lete them go whether that they welde / & who yt myght them catche / them to haue styll without ony chalenge. And whan all this was done / kyng Edwarde dyde his dylygence & his myghte for to amende and dresse the wronges in the beste manere that he myght to the honour of god & holy chyrche / & to mayntene his honoure / and to amende the noyannce of the comyn people.
