IN thys fyfth mayres yere and syx yere of the kynge in the mo¦neth of Iuly, for so moche as y^e Scot¦tes had busyed theym to haue slayne Edwarde Bayloll theyr kynge, and hym had constrayned to auoyde hys lande, or elles to kepe hym in somme stronge holde tyll he myghte by hys frendes or lyeges be socoured / kyng Edwarde for the same entent wyth a stronge power persed the realme of Scotlande, & after layde hys syege vnto the towne of Berwyke. Uppon the .xix. daye of the foresayd moneth of Iuly, the Scottes wyth a greate power purposyng to remoue y^e sayde syege, came towarde the sayd towne. wherof kyng Edward beyng enfour¦med, made towarde thē / & ar a place called Halydone hyll, gaue to y^e sayd Scottes batayll, & of them had triū∣phaunte vyctorye / in so moche that he slewe of them as testifyen dyuerse wryters, viii. erles, ix. hūdreth knygh¦tes & banerettes, iiii.C. esquyres, and vpon .xxxii.M. of the comon people & of Englysshe men were slayne but onely .xv. persones. After whych vic∣tory thus by the kynge opteyned / the capitayne of Berwyke vpō y^e morew folowynge beyng saynt Margaret∣tes day, yelded to the kyng the sayde towne with the castel. And that done kyng Edward betoke the guydyng therof with all other castelles & tow∣nes within that lande, vnto the fore∣named syr Edward Baylol as kyng of Scottes / & shortly after retourned into Englande. Than Dauyd the sonne of Robert le Bruze beynge as before is sayd kyng of Scottes, was constrayned with hys wyfe secretely to sayle into Fraunce / & thyder was brought by a Flemyng named Mar¦cuell as testyfyeth the Frenche crony¦cle. where of Phylyppe de Ualoyes than Frenche kyng / the sayd Dauyd with Iane of the towre his wyfe was receyued. And for theyr comforte the sayde Frenche kyng gaue vnto them the castell of Gaylarde, tyll fortune to them wolde be more frendelye. Thys yere also as wytnesseth y^e sayd frenche cronycle, the Frenche kynge sente vnto the kynge of Englande y^e bysshop of Beauuays and the hyghe constable of Fraūce / whych shewed vnto kynge Edwarde, that theyr so∣ueraygne lorde entendyd a voyage into the holy lāde / and requyred hym of hys ayde and cōpany for perfour∣maunce of the sayd iournay. where∣unto the kynge gaue answere vnto that request, than whan the Frenche kynge had perfourmed all suche con¦dycions as he before tymes had pro∣mysed to do / than he sayd he shuld be contēted to gyue suche answere vnto y^t request by thē in hys name made, as therūto shulde be cōuenient. And more he added to the same, y^t he mar∣uayled greatly that the sayd Frenche kynge entended any suche voyage, tyll he had clerelye acquyted hym of the sayd promysse & couenaunt with whyche answere the Frenche kynge was nothynge contented / so that ma¦lyce and murmour grewe and encrea¦sed betwene them dayly after. And an occasyon of thys sharpe answere was, for so moche as kynge Edward was credyble enfourmed, that the Frenche kynge had vytayll and man¦ned .x. greate shyppes to haue saylled into Scotlande, and there to haue warred / the whyche by tempest were wedyr dryuen into Flaunders, & so sore betyn with the see that after they had sold moch of theyr stuffe at y^e ha∣uyn of Sluce, they were cōpelled of necessyte to retorne without worship into Fraunce. Thys with other kyn∣delyd suche a dedely hate betwene these .ii. crysten prynces, y^• moche cry¦sten blode in {pro}cesse of tyme folowing was for theyr quarelles shadde.
