ry countrey to inquire for the authors and styrrers of this outrage. Of whom three were hāged, diuers were imprisoned. So great was then the hatred of Englishmen agaynst the Iewes, that as soone as they began to be repulsed in the Court, the Londiners takyng example therof, fell vpon them, set their houses on fire, and spoyled their goodes. The countrey agayne folowyng the example of the Londiners semblably did the lyke. MarginaliaEx Chron. Westm. cui ini tiū Anæas cum Ascanio. &.And thus the yeare, which the Iewes tooke to be their Iubilie, was to them a yeare of confusion. In somuch as in the Citie of Yorke the Iewes obteinyng the occupying of a certeine Castle for their preseruation, and afterward not willyng to restore it to the Christians agayne, when they saw no other remedy but by force to be vanquished, first they offered much money for their liues: whē that would not be taken, by þ^e counsell of an old Iew among thē, MarginaliaA miserable and deserued destruction of the Iewes.euery one with a sharpe rayser cut an others throte, wherby a thousand and fiue hūdreth of them were at that present destroyed. Neither was this plague of theirs vndeserued. For euery yeare cōmonly their custome was to get some Christen mans child from the parentes, and on good Friday to crucifie him in despite of our Religion. Ex Chron. Westmon.

Marginalia1189.Kyng Richard after the death of his father, commyng to remembraunce of him selfe, and of his rebellion against his father, sought for absolution of his trespasse, and in part of satisfactiō for the same agreed with Philip the French kyng about Easter next insuyng to take his viage with hym for the recouery of Christes patrimonie, which they called the holy land. Wherupō the sayd kyng Richard immediatly after his coronatiō, to prepare him selfe the better toward his iourney, set to sale diuers of his maners. MarginaliaThe couetous gredynes of Byshops noted in bying great Lordships.Wherof Godfrey Lucy then Bishop of Wint. bought a couple for two thousād markes, to wytte, Wergraue, and Melenge. The Abbat of Bury bought an other for a thousand Markes, called Middelsale: Hugh Pusaz Byshop of Durham bought the Lordship of Seggesfield, or Sadberga with the Wapintake, and all the appartenaunce therto belōgyng. He bought also the Earledome of Northumberland. Whom when the king should solemnise after the maner of secular Earles, merely with a mocking ieste, loe (sayd he) of an old Byshop I haue made a young Earle. And because the sayd Byshop had professed a solemne vow before to visite the holy land, to be released of his vow, he compounded with the Pope for a great summe of money therfore, and moreouer gaue to the kyng a thousand Markes to remaine at home as chief Iustice of Englād. MarginaliaSleightes to get money.Ouer & besides, the king set out all that he had to sale, woddes, castels, townshyps, Lordshyps, Earledomes, Baronages, &c. ordeinyng also diuers new Bishops, and not without some aduauntage (as appeared) to his purse, faynyng moreouer his old seale to be lost, that they which had lādes to hold might be driuen to renew their writyngs agayne by the new seale, wherby great substaunce of money was gayned.

MarginaliaA tenth gathered through all England.Aboue all this, by the cōmaundement of Pope Clement 3. a tenth also was exacted of the whole Realme, in such sort as the Christians should make to the kyng lxx. thousād pound, the Iewes lx. thousand. Ex Geruas. fol. 134. Kyng Richard after his coronation sent certeine Earles and Barons to Philip the French kyng in the tyme of his Parlamēt at S. Denis, desiryng him to remember his promise made for the recouery of Christs holy patrimonie out of the Saracens handes. MarginaliaKing Philip & kyng Richard concluding to trauayle to the holy land.Vnto whom hee sent word agayne in the moneth of December, certifying hym how hee had bound him selfe by solemne oth, deposing vpon the Euangelistes, that he the yeare next folowyng about the tyme of Easter, had certeinly prefixed to addresse him selfe toward that iourney, requiryng him likewise not to fayle but to be ready at þ^e terme aboue limited, appointyng also the place where both the kinges should meete together.

Marginalia1190.The next yeare then ensued, which was. 1190. in the begynnyng of which yeare, vpon twelfe euen fellMarginaliaA Northren braule in the Cathedrall Chruch of Yorke, betwen the new Archbyshop and the Deane.a foule northren brawle, which turned welnere to afray, betwene the Archbishop new elected of þ^e Church of Yorke and his company on the one side, and Henry Deane of the sayd Church, with his Catholicke partakers on the other side, vpon occasiō as foloweth. Gaufridus or Geffray, sonne to kyng Hēry 2. and brother to kyng Richard, whom the kyng had elected a litle before to the Archbishoprike of Yorke, vpon the Euen of the Epiphanie, which we call twelf day, was disposed to heare Euensong with all solēnitie in the Cathedrall Church, hauyng with him Hamon the Chaunter, with diuers other Canons of the Church. Who tarying something long belike in adournyng and attyring hym selfe, MarginaliaHenry Deane of Yorke and Bucarde begyn seruice not tarying for their Archb.in the meane while Henry the Deane, and Bucardus the Treasurer disdaynyng to tary his cōmyng, with a bold courage lustely began their holy Euēsong, with singyng their Psalmes, rufflyng of descant, and mery pyping of Organes. Thus this Catholicke Euēsong with as much deuotion begon, as to Gods high seruice procedyng, was now almost halfe cōplete, whē as at length (they beyng in the middest of their myrth) commeth in the new Elect, with his trayne and gardeuyance, all full of wrath and indignation, for that they durst be so bold, not waityng for him, to begyn Gods seruice, and so eftsoones commaunded the quiere to stay and hold their peace. The Chaunter likewise, by vertue of his office, commaūded the same. MarginaliaThe Deane and treasurer would not cease euensong at the Archbyshops commaundement.But the Deane and Treasurer on þ^e other side willed them to procede, & so they song on, and would not stynt. Thus the one halfe crying agaynst þ^e other, the whole quiere was in a roare, their singyng was turned to scoldyng, their chauntyng to chidyng, and if in stead of the Organes they had had a drūme I doubt, but they would haue solfed by the eares together.

MarginaliaThe Archbyshop beginneth euensong agayne beyng halfe done before.At last, through the authoritie of the Archb. and of the Chaunter, the Quiere began to surcease & giue silence. Then the new elect not contented with that had bene song before, with certeine of the Quiere began the Euensong new agayne. MarginaliaThe treasurer putteth out the candels at euēsong.The Treasurer vpon the same caused, by vertue of his office, the candles to be put out. Wherby the Euensong hauing no power further to procede, was stopped forthwith. For like as without the light and beames of the sonne there is nothyng but darkenes in all the world: euen so ye must vnderstand, MarginaliaThe Popes Church can do nothyng without cāle light.the Popes Church can see to do nothyng without candlelight, albeit the sunne do shyne neuer so cleare and bright. This being so, the Archb. thus disapointed on euery side of his purpose, made a greuous plaint, declaryng to the Clergy and to the people, what the Deane and Treasurer had done, MarginaliaThe Deane & Church of Yorke suspēded by the Archb. from diuine seruice.and so vpon the same suspended both them and the Church from all diuine seruice, till they should make to him due satisfaction for their trespas.

The next day, which was the day of Epiphanie, whē all the people of þ^e Citie were assēbled in þ^e Cathedrall Church (as their maner was, namely in such feastes) deuoutly to heare diuine seruice (as they call it) of the church, there was also present the Archb. & the Chaunter, with þ^e residue of þ^e Clergy, lookyng when þ^e Deane and Treasurer would come and submit them selues, makyng satisfaction for their crime. MarginaliaThe stoutnes of the Deane & treasurer in not submitting them selues to the Archb.But they still continuyng in their stoutnes, refused so to do, reclaimyng and vtteryng contemptuous wordes agaynst the Archbyshop and his partakers. MarginaliaThe people incensed agaynst the Deane of Yorke and hys Canons.Which when the people heard, they in a great rage would haue fallen vppon them, but þ^e Archb. would not suffer that. The Deane then and his felowes perceauyng the styrre of the people, for feare, like prety men were fayne to flye, some to the tumbe of S. William of Yorke, some ranne to the Deanes house, and there shrowded them selues: whō the Archbyshop then accursed. And so for that day the people returned home without any seruice.
