IN this .xxvi. yere after Chryst∣masse, certayne persones made a dyggyng and a serche in y^e churche of saynt Martynes le graūde in Lō∣don, for certayne tresoure that there shulde be hydde, as it was reported of a gardiner. But theyr labour was in vayne, for nothynge was there founde. For the whiche dede y^e deane of Poules the seconde sonday of lent folowynge, denounced all thē accur∣sed that were at that dede doynge, or consentynge to the same.

In this yere aboute y^e begynnyng of Aprell, the kynge rode towarde Scotlande / and appoynted his lor∣des with theyr companyes to mete with hym at yorke. where with hym met a great hoost, y^t whiche he ladde into Scotlande, and brent and spoy¦led the countre as he went / and tary∣ed a season at Barwyke. And from thens he spedde hym in wynnynge of the townes and castelles as he went, tyll he came nere to a towne named Fawkyrk or Fankyrk. where vpon y^e day of mary Magdaleyne, or y^e .xxii. day of Iulii, met with hym y^e power of Scotlande, and gaue vnto hym a sore fyght. But in the ende the vycto¦ry fyll vnto the Englysshmē / so that of the Scottes were slayne in y^e felde as affyrme dyuers wryters, ouer the nombre of .xxxii.M. and of Englyssh¦men but barely .xxviii. persones. Af∣ter whiche scomfyture the Scottes yelded to the kynge the more partye of the stronge holdes & castelles, that they tofore had holden agayne hym, and made vnto hym newe othe and promysse, and yelded them selfe vnto his grace and mercy. And whan he had set that countre in an ordre and rule / he thā retourned into Englāde, and so to Lōdon. where by y^e aduyce of some of his counsayll, he sodeynly dāpned certayn coynes of money cal¦led pollardes, crocardes, & rosaries / & caused thē to be broughte to newe coynage to his great aduaūtage.

ye haue before herde in that other yere, how that a truce or a peas was stablysshed at wene the kynge and y^e kynge of Fraunce, for the space of .ii. yeres and more / the whiche fynally was concluded this yere, that kynge Edwarde for a peas to be had by∣twene both regyons, shulde take vn∣to wyfe Margarete the suster of Phi¦lip le Beawe / then kynge of Fraūce.

The whyche Margarete whyle the kyng was in Scotlāde was brought vnto Douer, and so vnto Caunter∣bury / where the kyng spoused her in the moneth of Septembre as wyt∣nesseth the Frenche cronycle / and re∣ceyued of her in processe of tyme folo¦wyng two sonnes named Thomas and Edmunde, and a doughter na∣med Margarete. The fyrste of the sonnes was surnamed Thomas of Brothertō, and the seconde Edmūde wodestoke.
