MarginaliaDissention betwene the Citizens of London, and of Westmynster.In the same yeare about saint Iames tyde, fel a dissention betwene the citizens of London, & men of Westminister, the occasion wherof was this. A certaine game betwene these ij. parties was appoynted to try whether part in wrasteling could ouercome þ^e other. Thus in striuing for maistrey, eche part cōtending against the other (as the maner is in such pastime) it happened the Londiners to get the victorie, & the other side was put to foyle, but especially the stuard of the Abbot of Westmynster. Who beyng not a litle confounded therewith, began to forethinke in his minde, how to be reuenged again of the Londiners. Wherupō, an other day was set, which was at Lammas, that the Londiners shoulde come agayne to wrastle: and who so had the victorie, should haue the belwether, whiche was the price of the game appointed. As the parties wer thus occupied in their play: the steward sodenly bryngeth vpon the Londiners vnwars a cōpany of harnest men, prepared for the same before, and letteth dryue at the Londiners. Who at length beyng wounded & greuously hurte, after much bloudshed were driuen backe againe into the citie. This contumely thus beyng receaued, the citizens egerly stroken with ire and impacience, ranne to the common bell: and by the ryngyng therof, assembled their commons together to consulte with them selues, what was to be done in the case so contumelious.

But contrary, one Constantine a great man then in the citie of London, in much heate excityng the people, gaue this sentence: that all the houses of the abbotte of Westminster, but especially the house of þ^e steward, should be cast down to the ground. In fine, that which he so vnaduisedly counsayled, was as madly performed: for the furious people, accordyng to hys counsaile so dyd. This tumultuous outrage, as it could not be priuey, commyng to the knowledge of Hubert de Burgo Lord chief iustice of Englandaboue mentioned: he commyng with a sufficient strēgth of armed souldiours to the citie of London, sent to þ^e Maior and Aldermen of the citie to will them to come vnto hym. Who so obeyng his commaundement, required of them the principall beginners of the ryot. To whom Constantine there beyng present aunswered, þ^t he would awarrant that which was done: sorowing moreouer, that they had not done more then they dyd, in that matter. MarginaliaConstātyne executed at London for ryot.The iustice vpon the same his confession, commaunded him with ij. other, without any further tumult to be taken.

Whiche controuersie at last commyng into comprimis was committed to the arbitrement of Stephē archbishop of Canterbury, Philip Bishop of Wincester, Thomas of Merton, and Richard prior of Dunstable. And at length was thus agreed, that the monasterie of Westminster should be vtterly exempted from the iurisdiction of the Byshop of London. And that Stanes with the appurtenaunce therto belonging, should appertayne to þ^e monasterie of Westmynster. Also, that þ^e Manure of Sūnebury shoulde be due & proper to the church of Sainte Paule, and also the churche of S.
