^{page 351 note d} The MS. copies of this Chronicle which do not contain the Poem, agree accurately with the old printed editions, and present only a very imperfect and abridged account of the Siege. The passage which comprehends the entire portion of the Poem from v. 630, is as follows, “Thanne anon they sent vnto the kyng, besechyng hym of grace and mercy, and broughte the keyes of the toune vnto the kyng, and deliuered the toune to hym, and alle the soudiours voided the toune w^t hir hors and harnes, and the communes of the toune for to abide and dwelle stylle in the toune, yerely to pay to hym and to his successours for alle maner customes, and fee fertnes and kateremes. And thanne the kyng entred into the toune, and restid hym in the Castelle tylle the toune was sett in rewle and in gouernaunce.” MS. Cott. Claud. A. viii. f. 9.

^{page 364 note z} The lines are here confused by the blunder of the scribe, but may be rectified from the Bodley MS.

“And than the kynge to grawnte hym grace,

A mercyfulle meknes methynketh hyt was.”

The numeration is according to the latter. Two additional lines are inserted just beneath (as also above, v. 696, and below, v. 804, and v. 824, and v. 840, and v. 926.) which are not in MS. Bodl.

^{page 385 note *} It is a little extraordinary that Goodwin should repeat these blunders, p. 189, as they are so apparent.

^{page 398 note a} It was unquestionably in commemoration of this incident, that on Sir Walter Hungerford's obtaining from the king for his service at Rouen, the grant of the Barony of Hornet, in Normandy, he was bound by his tenure to render yearly to the king and his heirs a lance with afox's tail hanging thereat.
