In the eleventh year of his reign was the arising of certain lords in England in destruction of rebels, etc., that is to say Sir Thomas Woodstock, Duke of Gloucester, Sir Richard, Earl of Arundell, Sir Richard, Earl of Warwick, Sir Harry of Bolingbroke, Earl of Derby, and Sir Thomas Mowbray, Earl Marshall. These five lords understood the mischief and government of the King's Council, wherefore they, that were that time of the King's Council, fled out of the land, that is to say, Master Alexander Nevill, Archbishop of York, Sir Michael de la Pole, Earl of Suffolk and Chancellor of England, and the Marquis of Dublin, Sir Robert de Vere. These three lords came never again into England, for they died beyond the sea. These five lords abovesaid made a Parliament at Westminster and there they took Sir Robert Tresilian, justice, Sir Nicholas Brember, knight and citizen of London, Sir John Salisbury, knight, and Uske Serjeant, with other more which were judged to death and were drawn to Tyburn and there hanged. Also in the same Parliament, Sir Simon Burley, Knight of the Garter, Sir John Beauchamp, knight, steward of the King's house, and Sir John Berneis were beheaded at Tower Hill. Also Richard Belknap, John Holt, John Cary, William Burgh, Robert Frilthorp, and John Lockton, justices, were exiled into Ireland, there for to dwell all their lifetime.

Antre[55] Beauraym et le parc de Hedin, On moys[56] d'Aoust, qu'on soye les fromens,[57] M'en aloye jouer[58] par un matin; Si vi bergiers et bergieres[59] aux champs, Qui tenoient là leurs parliers moult grans,[60] Tant que Bochiers dist à Margot la broingne,[61] Que l'en aloit[62] au traitté à Bouloigne, Et que François et Anglois feront paix. Elle respont: "Foy que doy Magueloigne, Paix n'avez jà s'ilz ne rendent Calays."[63] Lors vint avant Berthelot du Jardin, Qui respondit: "La paix suis desirans; Car je n'ose descouchier[64] le matin. Pour les Anglois que nous sont destruisans; Mais dire oy, il a passé dix ans.[65] Qu'à leur dessoulz quierent tondis aloingne[66] Pour mettre sus[67] leur fait et leur besoigne, Et puis courent[68] le regne à grans eslays;[69] Maint l'out veu,[70] et pour ce je tesmoigne, Paix n'avez jà s'ilz ne rendent Calays." Après parla, par grant courroux,[71] Robin A Berthelot, et lui dist: "Tu te mens, Car les François et les Anglois enfin Veulent la paix, il en est dès or temps;[72] Trop a duré la guerre et li contens,[73] Ne je ne voy nul qui ne la ressoingne.[74] Certes, tout ce ne vault une escaloigne."[75] Ce lui respont Henris li contrefais:[76] "Encor faulra chascun (prengne) sa broingne;[77] Paix n'avez jà s'ilz ne rendent Calays.
