The king thus transcendyng the limittes of his lawe,
Not raygning but raging by youthfull insolence,
Wise and wurthy persons did fro the courte wythdraw,
There was no grace ne place for auncient prudence:

Possessed the palays and pillage the countrye;
Thus all went to wracke vnlike of remedye. 1559, 63.

In whyche parliament muche thynges was proponed
Concerning the regaly and ryghtes of the crowne,
By reason kyng Richarde, whiche was to be moned,
Full lytell regardynge his honour and renowne,
By synister aduyse, had tourned all vpsodowne:
For suerty of whose estate,[143] them thought it did behooue
His corrupt counsaylours, from hym to remooue. 1559, 1563.
[140] In the beginning of the parliament was called Robert Veer,
duke of Irelande, Alexander Neuell, archebishop of Yorke, Mighell de
la Poole, erle of Suffolk, sir Robert Tresilian, chiefe iustice of
Englande, to answere Thomas of Woodstock, duke of Gloucester, Richard,
erle of Arondel, Thomas, erle of Derby, and Thomas erle of Nottyngham,
vpon certaine articles of high treason, which these lordes did charge
them with. And for as much as none of these appered, it was ordeyned
by the whole assent of the parliament that they shoulde be banished
for euer: and their landes and goodes, moueable and vnmouable, to be
forfeit and seased into the kinge’s hand, the landes entayled onely
except.
Shortly after this, was founde Robert Tresilian, chiefe iustice,
lurkyng in a poticarie’s house at Westmynster, and there founde the
meanes to have spyes daylie vpon the lordes what was done in the
parliament: for all the dayes of his lyfe he was craftie, but at the
last his craft turned to hys destruction: for he was discouered by his
owne seruant, and so taken and brought to the duke of Gloucester, and
the same daye had to the Towre, and from thence drawen to Tyborne, and
there hanged.
The morow after, syr Nicholas Pembroke, which afore had been maior of
the citie of London, against the citezen’s will, was brought foorth.
_Grafton._
This man (Tresilian) had disfigured himselfe, as if he had beene
a poore weake man, in a frize coat, all old and torne, and had
artificially made himselfe a long beard, such as they called a Paris
beard, and had defiled his face, to the end he might not be knowen but
by his speach. _Stowe._
