The .xvii. Chapter.

¶ Howe Petro kyng of Hungery was slayne.

AN other kynge put here in remembraūce
Called Petro reygning in hungry,
For his defautes agayne the kynge of Fraunce
Y called Charles of malice and foly
By indignacion this was his turmentry,
His eyen put out ther was no better socour,
And after slaine by dome of the emperour.
