The king hearing of the death of the Earle marshal, made great lamentation for him.
At Gloucester, the Archb. with the bishops, declared to the K, the conditions of peace: & desired that he would be reconciled to the Nobles, & those he had banished the Realm. Whereupon, the King directed his letters, and gave safe conduct to all the exiles, that they should repair to him about the beginning of June at Gloucester. Whereupon first cometh to the King, Hubert, 1offering himself to the kings goodwill, and favour: whom the king with cheerful countenance, embraced: restoring unto him, all that he had taken from him, of living, and possessions: and after him, came others that were embraced of the king, and received into favour again,2 and those that were before high in the Kings favour, reproved and rejected, and among other matters, for the death of the Earle marshal.
