Piel Island, Furness, Barrow in Furness, Lancashire, North-West England, British Isles [Map]
Chronicle of Jean Molinet Chapter 158. [4th June 1487]1 King Edward, newly crowned in Ireland, arrived at Scanforth1 with a great force. Sir Edward de Hauteville, Lord of Scales, who supported King Henry, had come to a town named Lancaster, accompanied by six thousand men, to reinforce King Edward's army; but he was so relentlessly pursued from lodging to lodging, and driven back for three days straight, that he was forced to cross the forest of Nottingham in great haste. The Lord of Oxenford, the Lord of Salisbury and Talbot, the Lord of Astingham, Sir John Savage, and other great lords, accompanied by fifteen thousand men, after the arrival of the said Lord of Scales, and upon recognizing the strength of King Edward's army, recrossed the river with all speed, not daring to face his power, and fled like fugitives.
Le roy Édouard, nouvellement couronné en Irlande, arrive à Scanfort à grande puissance. Sire Édouard de Oudeville, seigneur d'Escalles, tenant parti pour le roy Henry, estoit venu à une ville nommée Lancastre, accompaignié de six mille hommes, pour secourir l'armée du roy Edouard; duquel il fut tellement poursuivi de logis en logis, et rebouté par trois jours continuels, qu'il fut contraint de passer la forest de Notinghen, à très grand hastė . Le seigneur de Occenfort, le seigneur de Saresbry et Tallebot, le seigneur d'Astinghen, messire Jehan Sauvaige, et aultres grands seigneurs, accompaignés de quinze mille hommes, lesquels, après la venue dudit seigneur d'Escales, congnoissant la disposition de l'armée du roy Edouard, repassèrent l'eaue à toute diligence, sans oser attendre sa puissance, et se rendirent comme fuitifs .

Carteret's (age 50) office here in town, and paid off the Chesnut. I carried my wife to White Friars and landed her there, and myself to Whitehall to the Privy Seal, where abundance of pardons to seal, but I was much troubled for it because that there are no fees now coming for them to me. Thence Mr. Moore and I alone to the Leg in King Street, and dined together on a neat's tongue and udder. From thence by coach to Mr. Crew's (age 62) to my Lord, who told me of his going out of town to-morrow to settle the militia in Huntingdonshire, and did desire me to lay up a box of some rich jewels and things that there are in it, which I promised to do. After much free discourse with my Lord, who tells me his mind as to his enlarging his family, &c., and desiring me to look him out a Master of the Horse and other servants, we parted. From thence I walked to Greatorex (age 35) (he was not within), but there I met with Mr. Jonas Moore (age 43)1, and took him to the Five Bells,' and drank a glass of wine and left him. To the Temple [Map], when Sir R. Parkhurst (as was intended the last night) did seal the writings, and is to have the £2000 told to-morrow. From, thence by water to Parliament Stairs, and there at an alehouse to Doling (who is suddenly to go into Ireland to venture his fortune); Simonds D'Ewes 1st Baronet (who is at a great loss for £200 present money, which I was loth to let him have, though I could now do it, and do love him and think him honest and sufficient, yet lothness to part with money did dissuade me from it); Luellin (who was very drowsy from a dose that he had got the last night), Mr. Mount and several others, among the rest one Mr. Pierce, an army man, who did make us the best sport for songs and stories in a Scotch tone (which he do very well) that ever I heard in my life. I never knew so good a companion in all my observation. From thence to the bridge by water, it being a most pleasant moonshine night, with a waterman who did tell such a company of bawdy stories, how once he carried a lady from Putney in such a night as this, and she bade him lie down by her, which he did, and did give her content, and a great deal more roguery.
