Iohn Stow, a monke of Norwich, but student in Oxenford, where he
procéeded doctor of diuinitie; Thomas Langleie, a monke of Hulme;
Nicholas Bungeie, borne in a towne of Norffolke of that name, wrote
an historie, called Adunationes chronicorum; Henrie Beauford bishop
of Winchester, base sonne to Iohn duke of Lancaster, of whome before
we haue made sufficient mention, made cardinall by pope Martine the
fourth, in the yeare 1426; Adam Homlington, a Carmelit frier; William
Coppinger, maister of the vniuersitie of Oxenford; Thomas Stacie,
an expert mathematician, and no lesse skilfull in astronomie; Iohn
Talaugerne, a moonke of Worcester; William Sutton, an astrologian;
Robert Balsacke, wrote a booke intituled De re militari, that is to
saie, of warre or chiualrie, so that (as is thought) he was both a good
souldier, and a painefull student of good letters.
Thomas Dando, a Carmelit frier of Marleburgh, he wrote the life of
Alphred king of west Saxons; William Graie, borne of the noble house
of the Graies of Codnor, he went to atteine to some excellencie
of learning in Italie, where he heard that noble clearke Guarinus
Veronensis read in Ferrara, he was preferred to the bishoprike of Elie,
in the yéere 1454, by pope Nicholas the fift, when Thomas Bourchier
was translated from thense to Canturburie; Iohn Kempe, archbishop of
Yorke, and after remooued from thense to Canturburie (as before ye haue
heard) he was made cardinall of S. Albin, by pope Eugenie the fourth;
Adam Molins (as Bale calleth him) kéeper of the kings priuie seale,
excellentlie learned, in time of the ciuill warre betwixt king Henrie,
and the duke of Yorke, in which he lost his head.
Thomas Chillenden, a doctor both of the law ciuill and canon, became
at length a moonke in Canturburie; Robert Bale, surnamed the elder,
excellentlie learned in the lawes of the realme, recorder of London,
gathered as it were a chronicle of the customes, lawes, foundations,
changes, restoring magistrats, offices, orders, and publike assemblies
of the citie of London, with other matters, touching the perfect
description of the same citie; he wrote other works also touching
the state of the same citie, and the acts of king Edward the third;
he departed this life in the yeare of our Lord 1461, euen about the
beginning of the reigne of king Edward the fourth, vnto whome we will
now againe returne.
Thus farre the tragicall historie of Henrie the sixt
depriued of his roialtie.
Transcriber's Notes:
Simple spelling, grammar, and typographical errors were
corrected.
Punctuation normalized.
Anachronistic and non-standard spellings retained as printed.
The author's usage of accents was inconsistent. Specifically
accented "ée" is far more prevalent than "ee" even for the same
word. Changed all instances of "ee" to "ée"
Italics markup is enclosed in _underscores_.
Page 271 Sidenote references the obviously incorrect year 1916.
