our realm, gaining by force or sublety many towns and castles belonging
to us, or to our noble vassals and clergy, and plundering them of all

delighting in the effusion of blood put to death and wound not only
such as shall attempt to defend their properties but the peaceable and
well-inclined inhabitants of the said towns and castles, who only wish
to remain in tranquillity.
