THis yere king Richarde was deli∣uered out of prison for the summe of one. C. M. pounds of sterlinge money, for paiment of which ransom al y^t wol of white monkes & chanons was sold and rings & crosses of prelates, with vessels & chalices of al churches thrugh the land, and .xvii. shrines wer ap••d and spoyled of the golde and siluer. &c.

King Richard beyng thus deliuered shortly after landed at Sandwich, & so came to London: where when he had a∣rested him: with a certayne number of knightes: he rode to Notingham, and wan the castel: & after that the castel of Tikhill, he deposed his brother Iohn, & crouned him selfe agayn king of En∣gland in the citie of Winchester, & then he called a parliament, where he called agayn into his handes all such thinges as he hadde eyther geuen or sold by pa∣tentes, or otherwise: wy which meanes he gathered a summe of money and sai∣led into Fraunce, wher shortly a peace was concluded betwene the two kings for one yere. Then Iohn which had ta∣ken part against his brother, made mea¦nes to Elianor his mother, by whose mediation he was reconsiled.

In this tyme one William with the longe bearde, moued the common peo∣ple to se••e libertie and fredome, & not to be subiect to the riche and mightye. By which meanes he drew to him ma∣ny great companies, and with all his power defended theyr cause against the riche. The king beyng warned of thys tumult, commanded him to cease from those attemptes. But the people s••il fo∣lowed him as thei before had done: and he made to them certayn orations open¦ly, taking for his Theme this sentence Haurietis aquas in gaudio de fonti∣bus Saluatoris, Which is to saye: Ye shall drawe in ioye, waters forth of the welles of your Sauior. And to this he added: I am (sayd he) the sauiour of pore men: ye be pore, and haue assaied longe the harde handes of the rich men. Now drawe ye therfore holsome water forth of my welles, and that with ioye. For the time of your visitation is com••n. This William was taken in Bowe churche in Cheape, but not withoute shedding of bloud for he was forced by fyre & smoke to forsake the church. And he with .ix. of his adherēts wer hanged.
