¶ This doone, saith one historien, the duke of Yorke, the earles of
Warwike, and Salisburie, came vnto the king where he was, and besought
him on their knées of grace and forgiuenesse for that they had doone
in his presence, and besought him of his highnesse to take them to
grace, and as his true liege men. The king desiring them to cease their
people, that there should be no more hurt doone, and to obeie his
commandement, did cause to be proclamed in the kings name, that all
manner of people should cease off their malice, and not to smite one
stroke more, and so ceassed the battell. And vpon the day next after,
the king and the duke of Yorke, the earles of Warwike & Salisburie,
came all to London; and were lodged in the bishops palace of London,
where they kept their Whitsuntide with great ioy and solemnitie,
concluding there to hold a parlement, the same to begin on the ninth
daie of Iulie next following.
Another historien saith, that the duke of Yorke, aduertised of the
place into the which the king was withdrawne for the safetie of
himselfe, and taking him into his power, comforted him in the best
wise he could; assuring him, that now that the common enimie of the
realme was dispatched, to wit, the duke of Summerset, he had cause
rather to reioise, than to be sorie, sith his destruction was the kings
preseruation. And for himselfe and all his adherents he vndertooke,
that they were and would remaine, during life, his most faithfull
liege people, readie in all points to serue him, as his trustie and
obedient subiects. After he had vsed such words, as wherewith best to
comfort him, he brought the king foorth of that simple house with all
due reuerence shewed toward him first to the shrine, and after to his
chamber.
