^{page 9 note b} The prose chronicle in H. calls him “Sir Philip Leche, knyght, the Kyngis tresorere.”

“He seyde adewe and went his waye.

“The Satirday after Newyeresday,

“At that houre of day at prime,” &c.

thus omitting the date of the conference with Umfraville, but placing the interview with the King on the Saturday following.
