¶ Howe the kyng of Scottes was delyuered out of prison. Cap. C .lxxiiii. (Book 174)

YE haue herde here before howe kyng Dauyd of Scotlande was taken & was prisoner in En∣glande more than .ix. yere. And a∣none after the truse was concluded bytwene Englande and Fraunce: the two fore∣sayd cardynals with the bysshoppe of saynt An∣drewes in Scotlande / fell in treaty for the dely∣uerance of the kyng of Scott{is}. The treaty was in suche maner / that the kyng of Scotes shulde neuer after arme hymselfe agaynst the kyng of Englande in his realme / nor counsayle nor con∣sent to any of his subgetes to arme them / nor to greue nor make warre agaynst England. And also the kyng of Scottes after his retourne in∣to his realme / shulde put to all his payne and di¦lygence that his men shulde agre / that y^e realme of Scotland shuld holde in fee / and do homage to the kyng of England. And if the realme wol∣de nat agree thereto: yet the kynge of Scottes to swere solemply to kepe good peace with the kyng of Englande: and to bynde hymselfe and his realme to pay within .x. yere after fyue hun¦dred thousande nobuls: and at the somonyng of the kyng of England / to sende gode pleges and hostages: as the erle of Duglas / therle of Mo∣rette / the erle of Mare / the erle of Surlant / the erle of Fye the baron of Uersey / and sir Wylly∣am of Caumoyse. And all these to abyde in En∣glande as prisoners and hostagers for the kyng their lorde: vnto the tyme that the sayd paymēt of money be full content and payed. Of this or∣dynaunce and bondes / there were made instru∣mentes / publykes / and letters patentes sayled by bothe kynges. And than the kyng of Scott{is} de{per}ted and went into his realme / and his wyfe quene Isabell suster to the kynge of Englande with hym: and he was honourably receyued in his realme and he went and lay at saynt Johsis towne on the ryuer of Try / tyll his castell of E∣denborough was newe prepared.
