[Sidenote: A truce granted to the Scots.]
The pope when he heard and deliberatelie pondered the kings answer,
with this letter directed to him from the English barons, waxed cold in
the matter, and followed it no further. The truce betwixt the king and
the Scots being once expired, the king assembled his armie, and went
into Scotland, about the feast of saint Iohn Baptist, and tarieng there
all the summer and winter following, his souldiers lost manie of their
great horsses for lacke of forrage, which could not be gotten in the
cold winter season. He kept his Christmas at Lithquo, and at length at
the request and sute of his brother in law the French king, he granted
eftsoones a truce to the Scotishmen, vntill the feast of All saints
next insuing.
[Sidenote: The king returneth into England.]
[Sidenote: The pope exhorteth the K. of England to make war against
Fr[=a]ce.]
Then hauing ordered his business for that time in Scotland, he returned
into England, and about midlent called a parlement at London. Also
this yéere pope Boniface vpon displeasure conceiued against the French
king, sent vnto king Edward, exhorting him to make warres against the
same French king, and to persuade him the more easilie therevnto, he
promised him great aid: but the king of England hauing prooued the said
pope, not the surest man in friendship towards him, forbare to attempt
anie forceable exploit against the French king, trusting by some other
meanes to recouer his right.
