5. Henry 2. son of the foresaid Maud, through his incontinency 1with Rosamond, set his own wife and children against him, which caused perpetual unquietness in his kingdom. In one battle at Edmondbury 20000 were taken and slain. He adopted his son (who laboured to dethrone him) in the government: and having much embroiled the kingdom, he grew so discontented, as he curst his children, and the day of his birth, and in much perplexity ended his days in the 35. year of his reign, and 61. of his age. Being dead, his people fell to spoil all he had, and left him naked.

6. Richard 1. son to Henry 2. having in his fathers life 1vowed a journey to the Holy Land, had his kingdom in his absence usurped by John his younger brother. Much trouble thence arose in England. On notice thereof, Richard hasted home: but in the way he was taken prisoner by the Duke of Austria. Whence though he were after 17 months imprisonment with a great ransom released, and restored to the Crown, yet both he and his hingdome were in continual trouble. As he was besieging a castle, which would have yielded unto him, if only their lives might be saved (but he would not accept it on any condition) he was shot with a poisoned arrow, and thereof died, in the 10. year of his reign, and 45. of his age, and was buried at his fathers feet; whom he confessed he had betrayed.
