[Whan starued _Owen_ had ended his hungry exhortation, it was well enough liked, howbeit one founde a doubte[552] worth the mouing, and that concerning this title, earle of _March_: for as it appeareth, there were three men of three diuers nations together in one time entituled by that honour: first syr _Edmund Mortimer_, whom _Owen_ kept in pryson, an _Englishman_: the second the lord _George_ of _Dunbar_, a valiaunt _Scot_, banished out of his countrey, and well esteemed of _Henry_ the fouerth: the thirde lord _Iames_ of _Bourbon_, a _Frenchman_, sent by the _Frenche_ king to help _Owen Glendour_. These three men had this title all at once, which caused him to aske how it was true that euery one of these could bee earle of _March_: whereto was answered, that euery countrey hath _Marches_ belonging vnto them, and those so large, that they were earledomes, and the lords thereof entituled thereby: so the[553] lord _Edmund Mortimer_ was earle of _March_ in _England_, lord _Iames_ of _Burbon_, of the _Marches_ of _Fraunce_, and lorde _George_ of _Dunbar_, earle of the _Marches_ in _Scotland_. For otherwise neyther coulde haue interest in other’s title. This doubt thus dissolued, maister _Ferrers_ sayde: “If no man haue affection to the _Percies_, let vs passe the times both of _Henry_ the fourth and the fift, and come to _Henry_ the sixt, in whose time fortune (as shee doth in the minority of princes) bare a great stroke among the nobles. And yet in _Henry_ the fourth’s time are examples which I would wish, _Baldewine_, that you should not forget, as the conspiracy made by the byshop of _Yorke_, and the lord _Mowbrey_, sonne of him whome you late treated of, pricked forwarde by the earle of _Northumberland_, father to sir _Henry Hotspur_, who fled himselfe, but his parteners were apprehended and put to death, with _Bainton_ and _Blinkinsops_, which could not see theyr duty to theyr king, but tooke parte with _Percy_, that banished rebell.” As hee was proceding, hee was desired to stay by one which had pondered the story of the _Percies_, who briefly sayde: “To the end, _Baldwine_, that you may knowe what to say of the _Percies_, whose story is not all out of memory (and is a notable story) I will take vpon mee the person of the lord _Henry Percy_,[554] earle of _Northumberland_, father of sir[555] _Henry Hotspur_, in whose behalfe this may be sayd as followeth.”][556] How _Henry Percy_ Earle of Northumberland, was for his couetous and trayterous attempt put to death at Yorke, Anno 1407.[557] 1.
