Summary
At Bothal we saw the battle-axe with which Robert Ogle, the first baron, slew Sir Davy Dunbar in a single combat. Who wore the tod tail, that is, the fox tail, in his hat in token none durst encounter him.
Henry the third matching with Scotland, both of the kings met at the Bishop’s Palace in York, where the bishop bestowed three score beeves5 on them for a breakfast, all other charges being suitable thereto.
George Nevell, archbishop and brother to the earl of Warwick that carried a king on his sleeve, at his establishment in the see strewed a thousand yards of cloth, which reached from St James, from whence he passed to theminster, which was presently cut and divided by 10 the people. He spent three hundred quarters of wheat, as many tuns of ale and 104 tuns of wine, the fowl and all other provision coming to an equal rate.
The earl of Warwick was his steward and another earl his marshal, and he had four marshals more, all knights. The earls with all ceremony 15 served him.
He sat in estate by himself, and on his right hand sat beneath him three bishops, and on his left a duke and two earls.
